Punctuation and Capitalization Writing Practice

English
1 answer:
Lubov Fominskaja [6]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

I may have missed a few but I hope this helps! Some of the punctuation may be wrong as I thought the dashes were quite confusing.

Explanation:

555 Centralia Boulevard

Abbotsville, South Carolina

June 7, 2015

Dear Aunt Mary,

This letter is to thank you for my trip to New York City.—I loved every moment of the trip you so thoughtfully gave me as my graduation present.—Would you like to hear about some of my favorite moments?—

Our plane landed at Kennedy international airport on Friday afternoon and we took a cab to our hotel in times square.—Our concierge helped us get tickets to these wonderful Broadway plays, – The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime,-The King and I,- and on The Town.—Mom and I liked them all

.

( I believe the listed plays should be capitalized.)

On Saturday we took a ferry ride to liberty island and toured the Statue of Liberty.—It was so much bigger than I had ever imagined.—On the ferry we met some other people from South Carolina who were also on graduation trips.—One guy recognized my Clemson tee shirt and asked about it.—He said, "Do you go there?"—I said, "I will start in the fall."—Then he said, "I go there."—After that we exchanged emails and cell phone numbers.—Now I already have a friend on that campus

.

In between the excursion to Liberty Island and the Broadway shows mom and I got some time for shopping at Bloomingdales and Barneys.—I'll look fabulous in my new clothes.—I will send you some photos to show what we bought.—I even picked up some neat things for Charley at Fao Schwarz but I think ill make him wait until his birthday

.

When Monday morning came, Mom and I tried to think of some excuse to stay longer but we headed out to the airport like the responsible people we are.—Guess who was waiting for the flight to South Carolina in the very same gate.—If you guessed the guy I met at the Statue of Liberty, you're right.—He changed his seat assignment and we sat together the whole way home

.

Aunt Mary, the trip was the best graduation present ever and I love you very much.—Next time the trip will be my present to you, just as soon as I graduate and get a very good job.

Love from your favorite niece,

Alexis

PROJECT: DELIVERING A SPEECH 2 paragraph essay
vampirchik [111]
How we deliver a speech is just as important, if not more so, than the basic message we are trying to convey to an audience. But if you have worked hard on preparing the verbal part of your speech, you may feel that delivery is just an “extra” that should not require much time or effort. After all, your speech is carefully planned, researched, and polished. It is committed safely to paper and hard drive. It’s a carefully constructed, logically crafted, ethical message. The words alone should engage your audience’s attention and interest—right?

After all the work of building such a message, you might wish that you could simply read it to the audience. However, this is the case in only a few kinds of circumstances: when the message is highly technical, complex, and extremely important (as in a new medical discovery); when international protocols and etiquette are crucially important and the world is listening; or when the speaker is representing a high-ranking person, such as a president or a king, who is unable to be present. For the purposes of your public speaking class, you will not be encouraged to read your speech. Instead, you will be asked to give an extemporaneous presentation. We will examine what that means.

The nonverbal part of your speech is a presentation of yourself as well as your message. Through the use of eye contact, vocal expression, body posture, gestures, and facial display, you enhance your message and invite your audience to give their serious attention to it, and to you. Your credibility, your sincerity, and your knowledge of your speech become apparent through your nonverbal behaviors.

The interplay between the verbal and nonverbal components of your speech can either bring the message vividly to life or confuse or bore the audience. Therefore, it is best that you neither overdramatize your speech delivery behaviors nor downplay them. This is a balance achieved through rehearsal, trial and error, and experience.

In this chapter, we are going to examine effective strategies for delivering a speech. To help you enhance your delivery, we will begin by exploring the four basic methods of speech delivery. Second, we will discuss how to prepare your delivery for different environments. Third, we will talk about how to effectively use notes to enhance your delivery. Finally, we will examine characteristics of good delivery and give some strategies for practicing effectively for the day when you will deliver your speech.
