Corrected:

Or, if you have to venture out, do so only if cocooned in your car with the heating on full blast...  Dr. Terrence Latimer, Chief Medical Officer for the famous Team Turbulence, says, "The key is not to separate riding a bike from your other daily activities, but on the contrary: to integrate it. Riding to work  is the best activity, as that gets you in the saddle every day; however, not everyone lives close enough to the office to do  that.

I'm about 95% sure I got the 4 mistakes (I tried making them bold and underlined to stand out)! I want to explain the usage of colons/semi-colons though to help you in the future.

Colons are usually used in place of a dash (-) and can be used for listing items or noting them. I think the last sentence is a perfect example of that. Notice how "folding bikes" is being noted as "the answer." This would be the perfect place to put a colon, therefore: "... if space is an issue then technology has the answer: folding bikes."

Semi-colons are used as a break in a sentence. Sometimes people use it as a "period" to continue two thoughts in a sentence that go together, but are different enough to where they need a break in between. Semi-colons are also used many times before words like "therefore" or "however." I'm sure there's a list out there, but those two were the first to come to mind.

I hope this helps! :)

I'm writing a paper about Aristotle's writing methods, so what is an examples for Patho, Etho, and Logos?

Answers

Answer:

Examples of ethos can be shown in your speech or writing by sounding fair and demonstrating your expertise or pedigree:

"As a doctor, I am qualified to tell you that this course of treatment will likely generate the best results."

"My three decades of experience in public service, my tireless commitment to the people of this community, and my willingness to reach across the aisle and cooperate with the opposition, make me the ideal candidate for your mayor."

Logos

Using logos as an appeal means reasoning with your audience, providing them with facts and statistics, or making historical and literal analogies:

"The data is perfectly clear: this investment has consistently turned a profit year-over-year, even in spite of market declines in other areas."

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury: we have not only the fingerprints, the lack of an alibi, a clear motive, and an expressed desire to commit the robbery… We also have video of the suspect breaking in. The case could not be more open and shut."

Pathos

Examples of pathos can be seen in language that draws out feelings such as pity or anger in an audience:

"If we don't move soon, we're all going to die! Can't you see how dangerous it would be to stay?"

"I'm not just invested in this community - I love every building, every business, every hard-working member of this town."

Explanation:

President Roosevelt gave his Four Freedoms speech in 1941 as his State of
the Union address, asking Congress and the American people to support
those fighting Hitler and his allies. Read the following excerpt:
In fulfillment of this purpose we will not be intimidated by
the threats of dictators that they will regard as a breach of
international law or as an act of war our aid to the
democracies which dare to resist their aggression. Such
aid is not an act of war, even if a dictator should
unilaterally proclaim it so to be.
How does this excerpt develop the theme that the United States should get
involved in World War II?
A. It explains that the United States should oppose Hitler even if he
declares it an act of war.
O B. It describes all dictators as dominating rulers.
O C. It argues that Hitler will not view sending aid to help his enemies
as an act of war.
D. It establishes the United States as the hero that will conquer the
villain

Answers

The correct answer is A. It explains that the United States should oppose Hitler even if he declares it an act of war.

Explanation

In Franklin D Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" speech, this president argues why the United States should get involved in the conflict of World War II by providing support to European democracies despite threats from dictators (especially Hitler) in opposition to these actions, as expressed by saying that "This aid is not an act of war, even if a dictator should unilaterally proclaim that it is". According to the above, the theme or idea in the text is A.

1. A letter to a hotel manager complaining about their bad services.

Answers

My name :                                                     Date:

Dear [Hotel Manager Name], My family and I had the misfortune of staying at your hotel from [check in date] to [check out date] in room number [804]. During our stay, we encountered a number of unsatisfactory service levels that I think you should know of and hopefully do something about.

I am writing to complain about the poor customer service experience in your hotel during my stay last week. When I reached your hotel, there was firstly nobody in the reception area to talk to the customer. I waited for around 30 mins in the reception hall itself when a man came there. Enquiring him about the hotel room I had booked 4 days ago, he was just clueless and said no booking was done earlier. After having a dispute with him, he finally got convinced of booking a new room. Apart from this, the food served in the room was quite tasteless and I did not feel like it was even worth paying.

I would like to file a complaint so that there may not be any such incidents happening in the future since I have planned to stay there in the hotel for 3 or 4 times in the future also since it is the only hotel nearby the seminar hall where I would frequently need to visit.

I suggest that customer service should be improved well. All the bookings done prior to the staying period should be well maintained so that customers may not face any issues. Moreover, the food provided in the room should be fresh and tasty as customers are playing for this.

Yours truly, {name}
