Voice: The snow drifted delicately in slow motion, creating a soft blanket over the field.

 

Boring: He ran to the gym to play basketball.

 

Voice: Jimmy bounded down the hallway like a gazelle, leaned into the turn around the ramp railing, and without missing a beat, stole the basketball from Jake to leap into a three-point swoosh from the center line.
