Brainstorm what vocabulary and techniques (rhetorical question etc.) you could use to express your viewpoint. CHALLENGE: consider why someone might have a contrasting viewpoint to you in your written piece
Reality shows are a form of entertainment that is recurring in our culture and that can hold millions of viewers.
Although they may seem like a representation of normal and everyday life, they present an exaggerated and unoriginal narrative, but which manages to arrest the viewer in a surprising way, in addition to showing great money machines for some stations.
The exaggeration of these shows is observed by the presence of unusual situations, where the participants act with natural ease in their developments and resolutions, in addition, these situations are established in a totally contrary way to the reality of the participants' lives.
As an example of this, we can mention an episode of the Kardashian family reality show where a homeless person present in the region where the family resides, was rescued and taken care of by the family, until he found a home. We know that in normal situations, with the cameras off, a rich and successful family would not meet the needs of a homeless person without any kind of fear and with such generosity.
Some fans of reality can disagree and even some more humanistic people can claim that this was a charity episode that can happen to anyone. The problem is that the episode placed the Kardashians sisters as great saviors who used the facilities of the house where they lived with the family and even the family's clothes (to donate to the alleged homeless person), without any reprisals. Furthermore, we have no news that this family will repeat the heroic feat with the various homeless people and people in vulnerable situations outside the reality show, right?

How have you changed from the person you were 5 years ago? must be a paragraph
Answer:
Five years ago, I was younger. Five years ago, I relied on my parents more. Five years ago, I wasn't aware of all of the threat in the world. The pain. Wars. Segregation. Racism. Anything, really. I was still a little kid, and I thought that everything was going great, and that everything would be just perfect. After five years, though, things have changed. I've matured, I've learned, and I've been through tough situations-- but here I am. A lot can change in a person over five years, and we are the living proof.

Hundreds of Afghan refugees have set up camp in a Brussels church, protesting against their imminent deportation to their home country, which they say is not safe.
Sitting in the heart of Brussels' trendy Saint Catherine district, with renowned fish restaurants and designer fashion stores, nothing on the outside of Saint John the Baptist at the Beguinage hints at its temporary residents.
Inside, however, half of the church is filled with tents and makeshift beds. People sit on the floor to eat their lunch and children run around the 17th century baroque church's nave.
The refugees say they fear they would be killed or be forced to join terrorist groups if they returned to Afghanistan.
"We are afraid to die, to go back to die or to join a group of Al-Qaeda that is against humanity," said Samir Hamdard, the 29-year-old spokesman for the group.

Option B doesn't seem correct because Josephine is not asking questions to her teacher.
Option C also doesn't seem correct because she wasn't distracted in the first place.

Answer: Option A, Taking Notes
Answer:

Look at the answer choices. Only A matches the above description.

PART A: Which statement identifies the central idea of the text?
A.
Math is best taught using discovery-based learning as people are more likely to fail in math.
B.
Allowing and encouraging people to fail helps them to make sense of what they are learning.
C.
Although people can learn even when they fail at least once, they are still negatively affected by their failure.
D.
Younger people learn better through hands-on activities that can result in failure, while adults learn better through risk-free lectures.
Answer:
B. Allowing and encouraging people to fail helps them to make sense of what they are learning.
Explanation:
Remember, we are reminded of the story of Thomas Edison the great scientist who failed many times, learnt from his failures, and then discovered a new invention. The article employs educators especially to have a mental shift about their negative view of failure
Thus, the central idea of the article is that we accept failure, as this would lead to new discoveries and inventions.
At a four-legged table there is 1 grandpa, 2 dads, 2 sons and a grandson. How many legs are under the table?
Answer:
6 legs
Explanation:
1 grandpa: the grandpa is the father (dad number 1) of one of those seated.
Son number 1: The grandpa has a son.
Son number 2: The grandpa's son also has a son.
This makes him a dad (Dad number 2).
The son of the grandpa's child is the grandpa's grandson.
We can say from the above, a man (grandpa) has a Son and a grandson.
Each person has two legs.
For 3 persons, we would have = 2×3 = 6legs
Therefore a 4 legged table with 1 grandpa, 2 dads, 2 sons and a grandson have 6 legs under the table.

B.tradition grounds people and promotes stability
C. Respect for elders is the most important thing to have
D. Growing up takes time and patience, it can’t be rushed
Answer:
D). Growing up takes time and patience, it can’t be rushed.
Explanation:
Kate Chopin's story is based upon the key idea that 'human maturity is a gradual process like the seasons of the year which requires patience and can't be hastened.' This theme is represented through the metaphor of 'fig' which symbolizes that 'ripening'(or maturity) comes with time. Making haste or anxiousness will serve no purpose is the message that Maman-Nainaine gives to Babette and tells her that 'like the figs will not ripe sooner as per her wish, similarly the maturity would arrives in her at the right time.' Thus, option D is the correct answer.
What advice does David give Melinda page 159?
The easiest way to get involved in a political campaign is to go down to your local party headquarters. Every town has one (well, every average-size town) for each major political party. The more obscure parties such as Libertarian, you may have to find online.
The local HQ will have volunteer opportunities that include things like phone calling campaigns, roadside sign waving, and tables at local events.
If you prefer to do your work online, you can visit party sites and get information on writing letters to your representatives. You can also join political organizations that exist within the main party. These smaller organizations tend to be more grass roots and deal with topics rather than platforms. That way you can pick and choose the topics that are important to you.
If you feel strongly that you should be involved, but don’t necessarily want to persuade others to agree with your political views, you can also help register people to vote.
Read the passage above and choose the best title from the list below:
a. It’s your responsibility to vote!
b. Work from Home
c. How to Volunteer for a Political Campaign
d. None of the above
