Answer:

The best answer is actually letter A. Revising means improving the overall quality of a piece by changing parts of it, while editing means refining a piece by eliminating errors and improving clarity.

Explanation:

Even though revising and editing convey similar ideas - to the point where they are used interchangeably -, they are different words carrying different meanings.

Editing is the process of correcting the text, changing anything that might be an obstacle to reading it. These changes include more straightforward aspects, such as spelling, grammar, sentence structure and punctuation, as well as more intricate aspects such as making complex concepts simpler, trimming excess words, replacing dense language with clear wording etc.

Revising, on the other hand, refers to looking at the text with a new perspective - revise basically means to look or to see again. Just like editing, it aims for clarity, but in a deeper sense. The changes made to the text will affect how readers perceive and relate to it, how they understand the ideas discussed. Some examples would be: adding more detail; eliminating unnecessary elements; adding new thoughts; reorganizing ideas etc. A revised text often looks much different than the initial one.

Taking the explanation above into consideration, I believe the best option to be letter A. Revising means improving the overall quality of a piece by changing parts of it, while editing means refining a piece by eliminating errors and improving clarity.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

No, this is not right. It should be "Their holiday had to be cancelled because of a fire at the hotel."

If you can change the whole sentence though, it would sound best as "Their holiday had to be cancelled due to a fire at the hotel."

Their = something they own

They're = they are

There = a place

Write a letter to your american friend describing your local festival.​
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Hi my Friend!

I hope you are fine today. New Year has passed but our country is getting ready for another sets of celebration. January is a month of colorful festivals here in the Southeast Asia. I am currently in the Philippines with my family to witness their devotion and celebration of their patron, baby Jesus or much known as Sto. Niño. Sto. Niño (Baby Jesus) is recognized by many places here in the Philippines such as Cebu, Bulacan, Iloilo, Manila, Aklan and Agusan. Almost all archipelagos in the Philippines are involved.  

One of the  best and international recognized festival is knows as Sinulog Festival, which is being celebrated in the heart of Visayas, Cebu City. You can expect people to fill up the streets, while they are dancing their hearts out wearing their colorful costumes and smiles. When you get tired of dancing, you can watch the big and grand float parades which involves biggest firms, personalities and  institutions in the country. The float parade is a contest and it involves big prizes for the participants. There are also trade fares which features Cebu’s finest products, which you cannot see or buy anywhere but in Cebu only. Sinulog is always grand and being considered as one of Cebu’s finest  tourist attraction.

Another is what we call, Ati-Atihan. Ati-Atihan is being celebrated in Kalibo, Aklan which is in  Visayas group of islands. It is being celebrated every 3 rd week of January, along with other Sto. Niño feasts. The difference of this festivals among other festivals tourists can participates and dance along with other street dancers in their grand costumes. What tourists can get from this is the actual experience of the ethnic people from the ancient times. The dancing being executed on the streets are from the culture and beliefs of “Ati” people how they worshipped baby Jesus since the Spanish Era, more than a century ago. Aside from the dancing, tourists can enjoy various programs that are being prepared by the local government with known Filipino celebrities. There are beauty pageants,

bazaars, food stalls and Hydro / Disco night everywhere. This is surely one event that a traveller  shouldn’t miss when he visits the Philippines during these times.

The Philippines Festivals only shows that Filipino people has a rich culture that would make everyone  smile and learn. These events provide unforgettable experiences to those who would be willing to a  part of it. Hopefully, you can come here someday to witness these grand and happy festivals.  

Sincerely yours,

Henry

In the first lesson of this chapter, you wrote a journal entry pretending you were a lawyer defending Zachariah. For this projec
Annette [7]

Answer:

Public speaking is like any skill. The more you do it, the better you get at it. Here is the only advice you need: Make eye contact with your listeners. Even if you’re nervous, nobody will know. If your audience sees you looking at them, they’ll look back and connect with you.

Start by reviewing your journal entry to make sure you have used specific details from the text to support your defense. Make sure you have at least two or three details.

Then, record a video of yourself pretending to be Zachariah’s lawyer. Pretend your revised journal entry is your "opening statement" in the trial and you are speaking to the jury and the judge.

Use any video recording device available to you. A cell phone or a webcam is perfect. Be sure to speak clearly and maintain appropriate eye contact. You might even practice with a friend, a parent, or in front of a mirror first.

If you don’t have the equipment and can’t record and upload a video, give the speech to a friend, a parent, or just a mirror. When you’re done, write a reflection in your journal about your experience. Consider what you did well and what you might do differently next time. The reflection should be about 150 words.
