Understanding My Father by A. Gautam My father was not an emotional person. He didn't talk much either. On those rare occasions

when he did, he never used more words than what was needed. As a result, I did not benefit from a first-hand account of the Cultural Revolution. Instead, I was forced to gather information from other sources. But that wasn't good enough for me. I wanted to hear it from him. We left our country for America when I was just a child. I never knew if my father had worked in the revolution as a peasant, solider, or a revolutionary intellectual. I tried to picture him writing big-character posters and holding great debates with his fellow revolutionaries. Did he use big words? Did he sometimes skip classes to meet with the comrades across China? These were questions I often asked myself. I wanted to ask him if he believed that the right to air one's views fully really existed in his youth. As an only child, who was brought up to think that education was my only key to prosperity, I didn't know why my father did not finish his degree. My father's friends behaved just like him—quiet, laborious, and mysterious. They all looked at me with eyes full of love and hope. Only once, did I hear one of them speak about the past. Uncle Chen recounted something about "not being a Communist," "arrest," and "freedom." It was then that I realized my parents and their friends had always talked to each other in Mandarin, the language I could no longer grasp, when they spoke about their lives back home. At that moment, I regretted my dwindling Chinese vocabulary and the opportunities I had already missed. 9 Based on this excerpt, the Cultural Revolution in China A. provided safety for people who didn't support communism. B. encouraged all citizens to be involved in changing the nation. C. discouraged the citizens from holding meetings and debates. D. demanded that the revolutionaries move to other countries.

insens350 [35]

While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling our present activities "unwise and untimely." Seldom, if ever, do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all of the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would be engaged in little else in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I would like to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms.

I think I should give the reason for my being in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the argument of "outsiders coming in"

Anna11 [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Esperanza's life changed completely the moment she moved to California. She hoped to live in a beautiful house, in a city where she could have a satisfying job and a comfortable life. However, when she arrives in California she is frustrated when she has to live in a very small house, in a neighborhood with very little structure and having to do domestic services and take care of children. Although Esperanza's situation is not good, she must have patience and perseverance, looking for opportunities to change her life, in the meantime, she must plan and be resilient.

4. (<u>Is</u>, Are) a farmer's life stressful?

5. My parents (<u>don't listen to</u>, doesn't listen to) rock music.

Present continuous questions:

1. Are you cleaning the car?

2. Am I looking at the correct page?

3. Is the dog eating its dinner?

Present simple and continuous: (read, have, interview, watch, write, work, be)

1. Ben <u>reads</u> a book after lunch every day.

2. We <u>are working </u>at a club for three weeks in the holidays.

3. Cathy <u>watches </u>all the soap operas on TV.

4.Mick <u>has</u> a stressful lifestyle, he<u> is </u>a police officer.

5.I <u>am writing</u> a book about London. I am <u>interviewing</u> some businessman at the moment.

Explanation:

We use the present continuous to talk about a thing that is happening or that we are doing at the moment, to talk about plans and temporary situations.

To write affirmative sentences:

He, she, it + is+ verb with ing. For example, he is cooking.

We, you, they, you + are+ verb with ing. For example, you are watching a film.

I + am+ verb with ing. For example, I am running.

To make negative sentences:

He, she, it+ is not /isn't+ verb with ing. For example, He isn't cooking at the moment.

We, you, they, you+ are not/ aren't + verb with ing. For example, you aren't watching a film.

I+ am not+ verb with ing. For example, I am not running.

If we want to make questions, we write first the auxiliary verb and then the subject and the verb with ing. For example, Are you watching the show? , or is she cooking?

We use the present simple to talk about habits, general truths, and to express emotions.

To make affirmative sentences:

He, she it+ verb with s. For example, He drives to school every morning.

We, you, they, you+ verb without s. For example, they go to the bar every Saturday.

I + verb without s. For example, I love pasta.

To make negative sentences:

He, she it+ does not /doesn't + verb without s. For example, She doesn't drive to school every morning.

We, you, they, you, i+ do not/ don't+ verb without s. For example, We don't go to the bar every Saturday.

To make questions we write first the auxiliary does or do, depending on the subject, the subject and the verb without s. For example, do you like pizza? or does he eat lunch?
