Is there any difference in their shorthand?
Joan can certainly take down letter more quickly.But Mary's shorthand is the best in her class.
How about languages?
Both of them speak excellent French,but I think Mary speaks Geramn more fluently than Joan does.
Hm,that doesn't really matter.Because we have more French vistors than German.

He can swim the widest rivers.He is as brave as a bull,too.He can ride the wildest horses and catch the most
dangerous criminals.He is the best story teller in town;He knows everything.

as quiet as a mouse.My mother says my father is as stubborn as a mule.Sometimes she says he is as sloppy as
a pig,too.I don't understand what she means by that.He takes the trash everytime she tells him to.
