AnonymousI am not sure how to rewrite them please can you help me ?All that most of these require is moving a few things around. Separate the sentences into groups of words that go together. Then see how moving the groups around might change the meaning or make it clearer. Post your results and we'll see how you're doing.

Look at what your sentences are actually saying.
Your first sentence says that Roxanne almost went swimming.
Your second sentence says that your alarm clock has bare feet.
Your third sentence says that the laptop had a stroke, which left it unable to walk.
Your fourth sentence says that the class spoke slowly, and your final sentence says that the health card was made of mahogan
