More examples"It is the 9th of June of 2013. I opine that Esperanto will live on for a long, long time. It is a good language for talking to someone from abroad. I opine that Lojban is probably better in the written form. I prefer reading and writing it than speaking and listening. In any case, Lojban words are fun to enunciate. Both Lojban and Esperanto have prayerful sounds. I must reveal a secret about my current desire that if I were a monolingual, I would prefer to be a Lojbanic monolingual. That way is how I feel today. But in reality, I am really very multilingual. I know a rainbow of different languages now."
