Composition by one of my students (for example)
אני צריך לכתוב משהו בעברית. זה קל? זה לא קל בכלל! למה? כי אני לא יודע מה לכתוב. כי אני לא יודע הרבה מילים בעברית. כי היו לי רק עשרים שיעורים לעברית. אבל אנסה. אנסה אפילו שעכשיו ביוון קיץ. זאת אומרת שזה חם מדי ואין שקט. כל האנשים רוצים להיות בחוץ. הילדים רצים בפארקים ויש להם גלידות בידיים. יש אנשים שהולכים לקונצרטים או יושבים בבית-קפה או במסעדות ומדברים על חופשים. אנשים אחרים יושבים במרפסות ורואים חדשות או סרטים בטלויזיה. יש אחרים שרוצים לשבת על-יד החוף ולשתות בירה או יין על-יד הים.

אבל אמרתי שאנסה לכתוב משהו.אני מקווה שאצליח. התחלתי. סגרתי את
הטלויזיה בחדר שלי, פתחתי את החלון, עשיתי קפה ואני מוכן לכתוב. פתאום אני שומע מוזיקה ושירים אבל אני ממשיך.אחר-כך ילדים בוכים כי רוצים גלידות אבל האמא שלהם לא רוצה לקנות להם גלידה כי ילדים צריכים לאכול ארוחת-ערב. יש כל-כך הרבה רעש דרך החלון הפתוח.
עכשיו החבר שלי התקשר. שואל מה אני עושה עכשיו בבית כשכולם בחוץ. הוא חושב שאני משוגע! אני לא יודע מה לענות! אולי אני משוגע? מה לעשות? אני חושב וחושב. אני יודע את התשובה! אני לא יכול לכתוב שום דבר כי אני שומע את הרעש הזה. כי אני חושב על האנשים שעושים חיים בחוץ. כי אני פתאום זכרתי שאני אוהב לשחות. אני יודע מה אנסה. לא אכתוב שום דבר! אשחה!
