The correct answer is B. Keeping my mind on my writing is not easy when I stay at my grandmother's ocean-side cottage.

Explanation:

In an argumentative text, the thesis refers to a statement that expresses the position of the author toward something and that is developed through evidence such as reasons, examples, descriptions, statistics, etc. during the text. This means the thesis statement, also called the main claim is the idea the author aims at explaining and proving. Considering this, in the text presented the thesis is "Keeping my mind on my writing is not easy when I stay at my grandmother's ocean-side cottage" because this statement shows the position of the author towards an issue that is writing on her/his grandmother cottage and also, this idea is the one the author explains and argues about by using a detailed description of the way she/he gets distracted while being there.

A new principal has just been posted to your school.Write a speech you will deliver at the welcome party organised for him infor

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Dear Ms. Jackson, welcome to our school. We hope that you can make our school one of the best in the district. For that, some problems need your attention.

During the last few months, the students in the chemistry lab could not work properly due to a lack of materials. Many experiments have to be canceled, which led to poor comprehension of topics and an increase in failed tests.

Another big problem that students have been facing is the lack of a counselor who can help with personal problems, problems between classmates, and guidance for our future. The lack of a professional that deals with these kinds of situations is crucial for the well-being of our school and to help students have good marks.

We trust your knowledge and experience to take action on these problems and make our school the best that any student could ever have attended.

Explanation:

In the first part of the speech, we address the principal welcoming him or her. Also, we introduce the main topic of our speech, the problems faced by students.

In the next section, we explain the problems and the consequences that the problems bring. The intention is to persuade the principal to take action on the matter.

Finally, we close our speech with words of encouragement that invite the new principal to help the school.
