Everyone faces challenges of different sorts in one’s life. I too had to face many challenges. One of them was my desire to win gold medal for school in inter-school athletic meet. I had tried many times but to no avail .
I clearly remember the defeat in the final 100 meter race last year during the inter-school athletic meet. I had to face lots of embarrassment and shame for not being able to win the gold medal for my school!
I had resolved that I would win the medal at any cost in the next year’s championship. So I had trained very hard. I did not miss any practice. I went on long runs to increase my stamina. I would sprint at the fastest speed possible. And out of my hard-work emerged fast running skills. The confidence to beat all my rivals grew stronger with each passing day.
And then the annual inter-school athletic meet arrived. The day I had to run, the entire stadium was packed to capacity. My teachers, principal, students, and my parents sat in the front rows to see me run to victory.
As I took position on the track, I was highly nervous. But then I calmed my mind. And then at the starting pistol I ran like bullet. I won the race with record time. I created a new national record in the 100 meter race. I was given standing ovation with thundering applause.
Receiving the gold medal from the Sports Minister I felt so proud and that is how I realized that courage and hope can help me overcome any major mishap or problem in life. If we hold on to our dreams and keep working hard for them, one day we will surely succeed
Answer:
<u>(Although I wrote in time)</u>, I did not receive a ticket.
Explanation:
An adverb clause is a group of related words having a subject and a verb and whose function is to modify or give further information of adjectives, verbs or other adverbs. This type of clauses often answers why, how, when, where or in what circumstances something is done or takes place, and they begin with subordinating conjunctions that introduce the clause and connects it to another clause, such as <em>although, because, since, as, after, when, before an once. </em>
In the sentence, the adverb clause is "Although I wrote in time" because it has a subject and a verb ("I" and "wrote"), it modifies the main action (the verb): "receive" by providing information of in what circumstances you did not receive the ticket, and it is introduced by a subordinating conjunction: "although."
There are many instances when the author hints that the essay is intended to be a satirical piece. Before presenting his proposal, the author states that he hopes it "will not be liable to the least objection." The reader knows that most proposals receive at least some objection, so the exaggeration in this line hints at satire. Immediately after this statement, the author suggests cannibalizing young infants as a way of solving Ireland's financial crisis. Of course, this is an absurd suggestion. Swift proposes such a solution to call attention to how the government has neglected the poor in Ireland. Even before the author presents his solution, there are excerpts that indicate that the whole article is intended as a satire. For example, Swift describes stealing as a means of livelihood for 6-year-olds. Later, he brings the reader's attention to the rich landlords' exploitation of poor tenants by stating, "as [landlords] have already devoured most of the parents." His critique of the rich and powerful is implied because he pretends not to criticize them and offers solutions that go against even the most basic of social values.
