Getting On A Teacher's Good Side Is An Easily Mastered Skill


Students over and over again seek out ways of getting on good terms with their teachers.  Turning in all of their homework on time, and showing interest in class, will typically gain admiration from any educator.  As long as students take their classes seriously, there should by no means be any troubles, especially if the instructor is on their side.

Good terms are skillfully sought after by students among teachers, all for the anticipation of reaping superfluous reimbursement.  Attention and homework are all teachers request of.  Therefore obscurity in achieving this can easily be detached, as long as students are eager enough to take their classes seriously.

Activity 3

The draft was written well, however, I did lose focus somewhere in the middle. The writer could have wrote the essay in a more interesting way.

To the parents of the kids as well as the school board. The overall purpose was suited just right, to help anyone in need of a helping hand. The words written enlighten the readers to the point, therefore, the tone is informative.

The explicit essay's thesis is clearly that schools should extend their daily hours. The person who wrote it must have intended on persuading the reader.

Children must not be left alone at home, and extracurricular activities are useful to their education.

Emphatic, it helps readers understand the thesis.

A contrasting development was entwined with a descriptive style. The thesis was obvious with all the details of how it might be without the longer day.

Definitely in the first paragraph, I was not impressed with the term "latchkey". Yes it does indeed make sense but I felt as if the paper would be better without it.

The paragraphs convey the thesis accurately, all of them were descriptive and relevant.

All of the sentences are in there for a reason, to convince people into thinking longer school days are a brilliant idea. The thesis was visible throughout the piece.

All the ideas are presented emphatically, this contrasts the main point.

If the topic interests a reader, then all of the little details may seem important. I for one did not find the essay to be intriguing, therefore, I would prefer a lot more creativity as well as sentence variety throughout the paragraphs. To shorten it would also make it more enjoyable, readers would also have a sharper sense on what they read.

The form was structured pleasantly, the writer faded to each point smoothly.

Near the middle, most of the paragraphs were dull but straightforward.

The introduction started off asking for attention when it painted the image of a good girl being home alone trying to figure out what to do.

It should have said that the seven year old now has something to do, to enhance the effect of the solution.

Winning The Lottery May Not Always Be A Blessing

Nowadays, a high percent of lottery winners find themselves facing problems which they thought money would never buy. Money cannot buy happiness, but it can buy misery. More than half of the so called lucky winners trap themselves in debt, even when they have more money than they should spend. A couple million dollars just does not quite cut it for some people. Sadly but surely, they usually turn this blessing into a curse. A life of dept after being a millionaire must be a tremendous contrast. That is why these people are left so miserable.

Someone's Unlucky Day

The scenic forest warped from my front windshield to the rear view mirror of my piano black BMW. I was rounding the winding road at suspenseful speed. Another car revealed itself, the one driving portrayed to me that he was not making any intentions toward halting at the soon to come red light. A youthful couple set off into the path of death, when reality stuck them. The model of a woman performed a strikingly realistic paralyzed pose on the ground. Leaving her close one speechless.

The Perfect Controller

Larry Frum recently wrote an article on Xbox's latest invention. CNN published this piece Larry composed and it is now on their website entitled "New controller for Xbox 360 unveiled".  The information Frum provided describes the new device quite accurately.  His article was specifically about the new features of the controller.  He wrote about how the D-Pad may transform into a different figure by only a twist of the wrist.   In the past, some gamers have apparently been unimpressed with the Xbox's controller.  Larry Hryb, the programming director for Xbox Live, seems to think this is the perfect solution.  The entire look of the controller has also been changed, the outer shell has been finely coated with a stylish silvery finish.

 In this article, the writer makes a point to convince the reader that Microsoft has created a clever tool for playing games.  While reading, I understood everything with ease, the piece was certainly written carefully.  The sentences were written with a straightforward interpretation, which made the logic easy to follow.
The introduction to the article was rather interesting, and encouraged me to read more.  It introduced the topic well and smoothly led into presenting more information.

The article contained several items that were new to me.  The controller comes with the new finish and I was surprised to find out that the controller's D-Pad has been modified to be able to change shape. The author tried to entice readers into buying the device by listing all features and also mentioning the price, which was $64.99.  According to this author, that is a small price to pay for the perfect controller.
