When I wheeze, I also sneeze.  Give him his freedom by degrees.  With stealth and good health he accumulated a lot of wealth.  I am in heaven when I eat unleavened bread.  The heavy weapon rested on the wall of the homestead.  They have a new recruit in the pursuit of youths.  Pass the conduit with the wires through the hole.  I will have to sluice the juice off my new suit. 

Dictation Passage for Week 2:
Gran likes toffee with her coffee.  The peewee ate a beetle.  I began to sweat when he made the threat.  It is a pleasure to measure the weight of the treasure.  Your suit looks like a bag of fruit.  I got a bruise on the cruise.  It is such a nuisance to have to train these raw recruits.
