Read the passage from "The Storyteller.” (Links to an external site.) The children moved listlessly towards the aunt’s end of th
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The aunt tells a story with a moral, but the children ignore the lesson.

Explanation:

From the text we know that the children already acknowledge the poor storytelling abilities of their aunt and thus do not expect much from the story.

Despite the boring nature of the story, the aunt does try to lacklusterly include a moral, but the moral is completely ignored by the children who notice instead the many faults of the story.

write a letter to your friend telling him or her about what you intend doing or your plans after leaving school.​
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

08/30/2020

Dear Pepe

I hope you are fine.

I want to tell you that a few days ago I did the tests for a very prestigious university, I do not want to tell you yet because I am a bit superstitious about it, I will wait first to pass and then I will tell you the details with the good news. This first step will help me to achieve my goal of being an excellent engineer, who in the future can actively collaborate with our country, helping people and growing more and more as a professional, which, in my point of view, it is the true essence of being a professional.

Please write to me as soon as you can, telling me what you will do once you finish school, I will look forward to your letter.

Sincerely, Your best friend

Explanation:

In these times it is easy and even quick to communicate with everyone digitally, by text messages, instant messages, or emails, since many people are not used to sending physical letters.

When thinking of a letter for a friend, you don't think of many formalities, just writing something nice, telling an anecdote, or something personal that you just lived or lived through.

Chances are, your friend also enjoys this personal way of keeping in touch.
