3billion people—one-quarter of the world’s population live in absolute poverty, struggling to survive on less than one dollar a day. Seventy percent of them are women and children. I dream of a day when people learn how to share so that children do not have to die. It would only cost an extra $7 billion a year to put every child in school by the year 2010, giving them hope for a better life. This is less money than Americans spend on cosmetics in one year; it is less than Europeans spend on ice cream. People say, “We can’t end world poverty; it just can’t be done.” The 1997 UnitedNations Development Report carries a clear message that poverty can be ended if we make it our goal. The document states that the world has the materials and natural resources, the know-how, and the people to make a poverty-free world a reality in less than one generation.

Explanation:

Our journeys into outer space brought us closer to understanding the universe. They also left behind numerous pieces of garbage known as “space junk” that pose threats to spacecrafts and space stations. This orbiting dump includes thousands of nuts, bolts, gloves, and other debris. Data from a 1999 study indicate there around 110,000 objects larger than 1 centimeter orbiting the Earth left from our ventures into space. Even the smallest of these could do serious harm to a satellite or space-based telescope. It could also threaten the lives of those aboard the International Space Station. U.S. Space Command takes responsibility for keeping an eye on space junk. This agency reports any potential threat to NASA, which sometimes must order emergency maneuvers to avoid space collisions. Which sentence could be added to support the author's claim that space junk is hazardous?
A.
In one space mission alone, over 200 plastic bags were released into space by the space shuttle.
B.
When these objects finally drift back through our atmosphere, they can be mistaken for shooting stars.
C.
To illustrate, a tiny paint chip off a satellite once gouged a quarter-inch dent in a space shuttle window.

In not less than 200 words, write a descriptive account on the topic, “Travelling across the desert on a camel.” Note: use at least four descriptive features.​

Answers

Answer:

Traveling through the desert on a camel is a very different adventure and an interesting experience, but very tiring and somewhat uncomfortable, mainly due to the region's climate. The desert is a very hot and dry place, and traveling through this type of climate can be challenging because of the feeling of extreme heat, which makes us tired quickly. It is also common for us to be very thirsty, as sweating is intense in this heat. However, as we observe the landscape, we are amazed by the beauty of the place. Although there is no lush vegetation, it is possible to see an orange immensity, covered with sand that fills our eyes. We can also see, in some moments, a little vegetation, but adapted to the region and in a very low quantity. Another important feature of the trip is the silence that we can hear, since the place has a small amount of living beings and interaction between them, which promotes a feeling of tranquility, despite the intense heat.

Explanation:

A descriptive text must have a large number of adjectives. Adjectives are the class of words that allow them to present the characteristics of a place, allowing a description of that environment. It is also important, that a descriptive text presents details in relation to the characteristics and appearance that make up the place. This type of text must be able to promote mental images, allowing the reader to visualize what is being narrated. In addition, the text must allow the reader to feel sensations, through the descriptions. These four resources were used in the paragraph presented above.

As I ran through the crowded airport trying to catch my flight, an unexpected incident happened before my eyes.

A stray dog ​​was walking aimlessly among passengers after entering the station. Initially, the scene was chaotic and worrying, but then something extraordinary happened. Passengers, airport staff and security personnel joined together for the dog's safety and well-being.

Water and food were provided in bottles, and an improvised leash was made to keep the dog away from any risk. The collective kindness and empathy displayed by strangers to a four-legged guest during the rush of travel emphasized the generosity that can manifest even in the most unexpected of circumstances. For a short time the airport was filled with warmth and comfort.
