EXERCISE XVIII.
English is spoken in England, the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries. Volapük will be taught in all schools. Volapük was invented Mr. Schleyer. Fruits are sold dear this year; they were sold cheap last year. A large house is building (being built) in Twenty-third street.
Cils mödik padadukoms in juls Melopa; mödiks pedadukoms, e mödiks podadukoms. Buks paseloms fa tedel, kela lemacem binom in süt Folsetelid. Buks at no binoms obik; peseloms. Pük kiom papükom in Melop?
EXERCISE XIX.
I like to eat fruit. I do not wish to read many books, but good ones. To have been silent is often better than to have spoken. No man can know everything. Who shall be able to count the stars of the heaven or the drops of the sea? I am in school to study, not to play. I will buy books to learn Volapük. You ought to study Volapük in order to be able to speak with all nations.

EXERCISE XX.
Honored Sir: Having read your interesting work, and not being able to understand some parts, I write [to] you this letter to ask whether you will explain the following sentences.
O söl pelestimöl! Egetöl penedi olik e no elaböl timi al penön ole avigo, spelob das osekusadol fezogi nepövitöl.

Give the poor man some bread. Please come to visit us in our new house. Please excuse me for not having answered your letter sooner. Go out of the house! Please mail me four copies of the English dictionary. Let every boy take his pen and write. Please remain in the garden.
EXERCISE XXII.
I would like this man if he were better. If we went walking every day it would be healthful. If you should go walking to-day, please bring the new book, which I ordered, from the bookstore. It would be a great pleasure to me to receive a long letter from you. If it were not so warm I should like to visit our friends in town.
If älogob-la tideli adelo, ägivoböv ome buki keli vilom logön. Buk at äbinomöv pöfüdik ole if ävilol-la studön flentapüki. If ilogol-la mani at in gad, ipükomöv ole. If ätävol-la in Yulop, älilolöv pükis mödik.
