Answer:
1.To Jing-mei's mother, America is the Land of Opportunity. She has high hopes that her daughter will be a great success as a prodigy. She's not precisely sure where her daughter's talents lie, but she is sure that her daughter possesses great ability — it is simply a matter of finding the right avenue for Jing-mei's talents. First, Mrs. Woo tries to mold her daughter into a child actress, but that doesn't work. Then she tries intellectual tests clipped from popular magazines. Jing-mei doesn't show promise in this area, either. Finally, Mrs. Woo hits upon the answer: Jing-mei will be a piano virtuoso.
Explanation:
At the beginning of this excerpt, we see the narrator (Theodore Dreiser) reflecting on the nature of his brother. The excerpt then switches to the narrative storytelling of an event that clarifies and supports this reflection. Because this is a work of nonfiction and Dreiser is recounting real people and their experiences, he makes it known that it’s almost impossible to use words to capture the essence of what his brother was truly like. He proceeds to narrate an incident that helps the readers get a better understanding of his brother and his nature. Dreiser describes the incident as though he is telling a fictional story. He provides descriptive details about the atmosphere and the character (his brother) in the scene, just like a scene from a piece of fiction. He draws on his factual knowledge of his brother’s traits and uses this brief, real-life incident to help readers understand his brother and how he was generous, sympathetic, and a tad bit mischievous. He uses descriptive language to add depth to the incident and maintain readers’ attention.
Your answer is correct, but it would be nice if you made the text more fluid, using more prepositions to link your sentences, and avoiding repetition of words.
<h3>How to do this?</h3>
- Reread your answer.
- Identify sentences that could be joined using prepositions, or commas.
- Try to make substitutions between nouns and pronouns that are reproved a lot.

<em>In the video, Eric Thomas is talking about success in our life, cell phone use, and time spent on trivial things. These issues are highlighted when Thomas says that we need to give up the cell phone for a while because it makes us spend time that could be used to build our success through study and dedication. Thomas points out that this waste of time makes us not know our potentials. That's because many of us claim that we're not good at math, but don't take the time to study it. The same goes for people who say they are not good at writing, but never take the time to try to write something because they spend their time on super fun activities like cell phones, parties, games and others. Thomas says that we have to dedicate all of us to activities that will promote our success and that implies abandoning certain activities that only distract us.</em>
