To rewrite the sentence "He liked shooting things," you can consider adding more details and varying the sentence structure. Here's an example:

"He found pleasure in engaging in various activities, such as shooting targets and participating in matches."

For the sentence "Joy leapt in his father's heart for his son," you can rephrase it by incorporating different feelings and adding descriptive language:

"His father's heart danced with delight at the sight of his son, who filled him with immense joy."

To rewrite the sentence "They stood," you can provide more context and specificity to make it more engaging:

"They stood resolute, their figures silhouetted against the gathering shadows, while awaiting the arrival of their American friend near the barracks."

Remember, rewriting sentences allows you to bring in your own creativity and style while preserving the original meaning.
