Using your knowledge of compound and complex sentences, convert the following paragraph
of simple and complex sentences into a more sophisticated and interesting piece of writing.

Jackson tiptoed down the hallway. He could hear the floorboards creaking beneath his feet. He
tried not to make a sound. He didn’t want the burglars to know that he was in the house. He
could hear his own breathing. He could hear the strange men talking. They were talking in a
foreign language. He thought about hiding. He knew, however, that he had to get out of the
house. Any minute they would come up the stairs. He reached the stairwell. He peered cautiously
over the banister. He could see three men. They were wearing hoods. They had weapons poised.
One of the men was rummaging through a bookcase. He could hear one of them mutter. He said
in English, ‘It’s not here. He must have hidden it upstairs.’ Jackson panicked. He looked frantically
for somewhere to hide. He could hear the men ascending the stairs. His heart was in his mouth.
Silently he slid into the shadows. His eyes were wide open. He was terrified. Jackson could see
the men’s shadows coming up the stairs. Quickly, he slipped into the bathroom. He pulled the
door behind him. He did not close it completely. He knew that it would bang. He waited in the
silence. He came up with a new plan.
