English
1 answer:
Contact [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

"Personal best" is a story about an athlete named Jeremy that competes in the Olympics of the year 2052 along with another woman called Amy. The particular situation in the story is that the other competitors are robots (they are called "robothletes"). They both run and they both break the previous record for a man and a woman in the Olympics, however, Jeremy ends up fifth (Amy finishes after him) but everyone cheers him up because he did his best and he is the fastest man in the world.

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to read the story "Personal best" written by John Frizell and then write a summary about it.

It is important to write the <u>most important things about the story</u> because to summarize (or to write a summary) means to <u>explain the main points</u> from a story.

Read this excerpt from Mohandas Gandhi's speech “Quit India.” What is the purpose of this speech?
ella [17]

The correct answer is: C) To persuade his countrymen to not feel hatred toward the British.

In this speech, Mohandas Gandhi, enumerates the reasons why hating the british people is wrong. We can see that this is a persuasive speech, meaning that the author tries to make the audience do something in specific or feel in a certain way about a topic by using diferent arguments. Here Gandhi states that the real enemy is the British imperialism, which is not personified strictly by the British people, that is the reason he makes a comparison between them.  He also states the dangers of reinforcing it, as it can make people choose another type of domination, the Japanese in this case, as long as the British go away.  

As we can see, the arguments used by Gandhi support this main idea, by stopping hate agains the British people, they can achieve freedom and India would be able to take responsibility for his own actions. Although the other options are found in the text they serve, as I say, to illustrate Gandhi's main point.

Write a manifesto as a dining hall prefect<br>​
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

My name is Anthony Chen, and this is my manifesto as a dining hall prefect.

First of all, I have a three-point agenda to sanitize the dining hall, thus making it more conducive for students. The three points are:

1. Ensuring high quality meals are served in the dining areas

2. Making sure the dining hall is clean at all times. (There will be punishment for defaulters.)

3. Ensuring meals are eaten in peace and love.

It is important that not only healthy foods are served in the dining hall, but also that no essential nutrient is lacking at any given time.

Also equally important is ensuring cleanliness at all times because a dirty place breeds germs faster.

Finally, as the Holy Bible says, "better a meal eaten in love, than a banquet where there is strife". There shall always be peace and love among students.
