  1. I’m on the beach at sunset enjoying the soothing sound of the waves as they gently wash onto the shore.

  2. Just before he stepped onto the train, he turned and waved goodbye. I waved back and shouted, “See you next week.”

  3. Punk Rock was the popular music culture in Britain in the ’70s. The outrageous fashion and hairstyles made waves with conservative society. In the late ’70s and during the ’80s a new genre of music called New Wave became popular. New Wave was famous for glamorous clothing and men wearing make up. Bands like Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and Depeche Mode are good examples of New Wave bands that were popular in the ’80s.

  4. Radio waves are used to broadcast sound and pictures through space by means of electromagnetic frequencies. When you tune in to your favourite radio station or TV channel you are using radio waves.

  Well done GS! Those are four perfect sentences. And thanks for the list. I must admit I didn’t think of wave like that for #3, but it’s certainly possible. I was thinking Andy was illustrating waves in the hair – a bit like the “permanent wave” that you listed 🙂 But he probably had your kind of wave in mind.

  Anyone for anymore?
