Speech Passage #1

Instructions: Please read the passage below and answer the questions in full sentences.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, teachers, parents, and my fellow students. Our today’s meeting is an outstanding event for all of us as another academic year has come to an end. This means that another group of students graduates from our school and is to start its way into the ‘adult life’. Actually, this ‘adult life’ seems to be less appealing and more terrifying with its close oncoming, and it is a great fortune that it is not my turn to enter it yet.

I have one more year of study left, so this occasion does not have a direct relation to me, still there are a few important things I am eager to tell our graduates, among which is my older sister. The first one is: please, do not be afraid of the changes that come to your life; they are crucial, unpredictable, and overwhelming but you are able to deal with them. Thus, just built your own way and remember that your families and friends are always there to provide you with any needed support. In addition, please, keep in mind the fact that we are graduating after you and look up for you as the examples and inspirations, so, do not be up to anything you would not like us to do. I believe that would be the most suitable advice and recommendation you can hear from someone my age.

Another point that I would like to highlight is the crucial value of your dreams as, like the great Steve Jobs pointed out, the way to success is to “dream bigger”, and this tool is available for everyone. There has barely been one person in the world that had never failed, so, you, most probably, will not become such an exception. Thus, do not limit yourself by the fear of losing; you will lose one day anyway, and this occasion is unpredictable and unpreventable. It may sound absolutely discouraging but have a think about it: if there is nothing to hold you back, everything is possible.

With this in mind, make a bold, confident, and reckless step in the life, hurry to fall, because the sooner you will do this, the more time you will have for getting back to the top. Do not let the obstacles and failures stop you as they are just other twists of a great life adventure you are to embark on, and we are looking forward to witness.

10. O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
while follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
But o heart! heart! heart!
o the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up for you the flag is flung-for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths-for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
Exult, o shores, and ring, o bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

From a distance, they both look like seals, but once you get up close you can actually see the difference. Seals and sea lions are both fish-loving mammals. Moreover, handy flippers propel them both through the water. But while seals have a tiny opening on the side of their heads, sea lions have actual earflaps. Furthermore, sea lions use their back flippers like feet to scoot along the beach. On the other hand, seals must wriggle and roll to get ahead. On the whole, when you visit a zoo or theme park, it's the honking, barking, funny sea lion you're likely to find playing to the crowds for fishy treats, earflaps and all.

In the passage about seals and sea lions, which transition is used to show a contrast? (5 points)

But
Furthermore
On the whole
Moreover

I NEED SOMEONE TO GIVE FEEDBACK FOR THESE PARAGRAPHS RIGHT NOW! I AM GIVING BRAINLIEST

Directions: Read and analyze the 4 paragraphs from our classes' Personal Narrative assignment.
In a Google Doc or Slides analyze EACH paragraph by identifying the errors and providing specific feedback on how to improve each one. The paragraph must have a triumph.
*You are NOT allowed to inquire about the author of the paragraphs. This will result in you losing points off YOUR grade.*

PARAGRAPHS:
1. A time l got a great Victory was in Florida, I was playing football
games with my team and I. We needed to make it to the
championship so we played our first 3 games and won those games.
So when we advanced to the championship it wasnt really easy. We
went to overtime and they played their drive. They didn't score most
likely because their touchdown kept getting called back. Then when
we played our drive we scored ended up winning the rings.

2. A time l got a great Victory was in Florida, I was playing football

3.When I was younger, about 3 or 4 years old. My parents had a car accident with my moms old red van. We had been going to a store to get some clothes in Greenbelt, and on the Beltway. Someone that my mom knew crashed into us. None of us were severely hurt, but the next day we had to go to the hospital for a check-up. I ended up being in a cast for about 1 week and a half, as doctors said that I broke my arm. I was still able to do things with that arm, just couldn’t do as much as I usually would. For example, I could feed myself and others, but couldn’t do some at-home exercises like pushups.

4.My challenge that led to a triumph was when my family came
to stay at my house for a couple hours and I could not think
of a challenge that led to a triumph until they left I realized
that they were a distraction and I could not figure out how to
complete this assignment then I realized that one challenge
that led to triumph was when I got a bad grade and I figured
it was my focus and I changed spaces to do class in my
house I am more productive I get my stuff done and I feel
more relaxed and excited for the next day.And that's my
personal narrative.

IF SOMEONE COULD PLEASE SEND FEEDBACK ON ALL OF THESE BY MIDNIGHT, IT WOULD BE GREAT! I NEED FEEDBACK ON THESE AS MY ASSIGNMENT. I AM GIVING BRAINLIEST!

Why is it still important to use additional types of sources when writing a research paper?

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I hesitated long before I put this theory to the test of practice. I knew well that I risked death; for any drug that so potently controlled and shook the very fortress of identity, might, by the least scruple of an overdose or at the least inopportunity in the moment of exhibition, utterly blot out that immaterial tabernacle which I looked to it to change. The excerpt is a good example of suspense because it educates the reader with background information. tells the reader the inner thoughts of a main character. amuses the reader with interesting descriptive details. makes the reader excited about what will happen next.
