This type of question is really personal. Since I don't know if you have a religion or belief, I will answer with my general knowledge and experience. Feel free to change and adapt this answer to make it fit you.
Answer and Explanation:
Even though I do not see organized religion as something good for me, I do understand the benefits it brings to people in general. Institutions are always flawed, no matter how sacred and lofty the beliefs they preach. However, those institutions offer support and structure to people who enjoy the sense of belonging to a community of like-minded individuals.
At a personal level, I do not see the need to travel to a temple or to memorize prayers and chants. I see myself - body, mind and soul - as a sanctuary. By simply taking a moment, be it minutes or hours, to focus on something without any specific goal, simply for the sake of clearing my mind, I can find peace. I believe human beings are a manifestation of the very universe we observe. We are the universe being aware of itself and its other manifestations. Therefore, I believe we can find, in silence and peace, a sense of self that exacerbates all self-centeredness.
Peace comes from the acceptance of what is. It comes from beholding my own existence, as well as the existence of everything else, as sacred. In this thought, I find love for myself and for the world.

Read Fatima's paragraph. Having moved up north just last year, I experienced my first snowstorm this past winter. At first, the snow twirled gently, lightly dusting the street, cars, and trees with snowy frosting. Then, the snow became a curtain, blinding my view so that I felt cocooned from the outside world. When the snow stopped, ice coated the trees and branches clacked like chattering teeth. Which sentence will Fatima's teacher most likely ask her to revise?

Answer:
I should have known it was a bad idea, but that didn't stop me. I attempted to scrub the blood of of my hands and to delete the memory out of my mind. I didn't mean to stab that man. He came running behind me and violently put his hands over my mouth. I panicked. I reached in my pocket and pulled out my pocket knife that I carry in case of an emergency. I stuck it in his side and he let me go. A scream of pain escaped his lips as he knelt to the concrete ground. I ran as far away as I could, without looking back. I made it to my apartment about 2 miles away. I slammed the door shut, locked it, and shut the curtains to the window looking outside. It will only be a metter of time before the police come kocking on my door. Will I be able to say it was for self defefnse reasons and get off easy? Or will I be arrested for trying to protect myself from possible danger. Either way, I know the memory of tis night will be forever engraved in my brain. I have to just learn to live with the guilt. I won't let the memories and the flashbacks lead me the same fate I gave that man. Explanation:
To identify which syllable is stressed in a word, one must listen to it. A stressed syllable is that which is louder, longer and said in a higher pitch than the other syllables in a word.
In the word “thirsty,” the stress falls in the syllable “<u>thris</u>”
In “guru,” the stress falls in the first syllable too: “<u>gu</u>”
Lastly, in the word “mastery,” the stressed syllable is “<u>mas</u>”
Another way to find out which syllable is stressed is by learning some general rules (although they can not be applied to all words). One of those general rules, for example, is that most two-syllable nouns and adjectives (such as “guru” and “thirsty”) are usually stressed in the first syllable.
