Read the excerpt from Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.

My house was at the very tip of the egg, only fifty yards from the Sound, and squeezed between two huge places that rented for twelve or fifteen thousand a season. The one on my right was a colossal affair by any standard—it was a factual imitation of some Hotel de Ville in Normandy, with a tower on one side, spanking new under a thin beard of raw ivy, and a marble swimming pool, and more than forty acres of lawn and garden. It was Gatsby’s mansion.

How does Fitzgerald use setting in the exposition of this passage?
He underscores the cultural differences between West Egg and East Egg.
He introduces the reader to the themes of jealousy and undying love.
He suggests that Gatsby is sophisticated and very wealthy.
He creates atmosphere and establishes geographic context.

Answer:

During a snow storm, Main Street is always plowed first.

Hi Jane!
I've been meaning to write for ages and finally today I'm actually doing something about it. Not that I'm trying to make excuses for myself, it's been really hard to sit down and write, as I've been moving around so much. Since we last saw each other I've unpacked my bags in four different cities.
I went from London to Prague to set up a new regional office there. You know I'd always wanted to go, but maybe I was imagining Prague in spring when I used to talk about that. Winter was really hard, with minus 15 degrees in the mornings and dark really early in the evening. But at least it was blue skies and white snow and not days on end of grey skies and rain, like at home.
From there I was on another three-month mission to oversee the set-up of the office in New York. Loved, loved, loved New York! It's like being in one big TV show, as everywhere looks just a little bit familiar. I did every tourist thing you can think of when I wasn't working, and must have spent most of my salary on eating out. It was really hard to leave for the next job, especially as I kind of met someone (!) More about Michael later ...
So then I was posted to LA, which felt like a whole other country compared with the East Coast. I could definitely get used to that kind of outdoor, beach lifestyle, but I didn't spend as much time getting to know California as I could have because I was flying back to see Michael every other weekend. He came to see me when he could, but his job means he's often working at weekends, so he couldn't make the flight very often. Those three months flew by and then I was off again, to Frankfurt, which is where I am now. And ... so is Michael! He got a month off work and we're trying to work out how we can be in the same place at the same time for a while. We figure the first step in that direction is getting married, which is also why I wanted to write – I can't get married without my oldest friend there! The wedding's going to be at home in London in September and I hope you can come!
Anyway, tell me all your news and I promise not to leave it so long this time! Lots of love,
Kath

Question 1: What was the author’s purpose(s) in writing this text?
Question 2: How was the text organized?
Question 3: How do the type/ topic/ ideas from the text relate to things you have been doing?
Question 4: If you were Jane, what would you write to reply Kath?

Answers

Answer:

1. The author's purpose was to tell "Jane" about where she's traveled to since they last spoke. She states that " it's been really hard to sit down and write, as I've been moving around so much. Since we last saw each other I've unpacked my bags in four different cities." This suggests that she's going to explain where she's been and what has happened to her, which she does.

2. The text was organized in chronological order. The author starts with the first events since they last spoke, and ends with the most recent events.

3. I believe this is a question only you can answer, as it asks about what you're doing.

4. If I were Jane, I would tell her about what's happened to me, but I would also ask her how sure she was about Michael. I would also want to know why she didn't call or text, or find a way to tell me about Michael until they decided that they wanted to get married. After all, I'm her "oldest friend." I would also want to know what Michael is like and how long she's known him.

write an Article for youe teacher for sports lesson

Answers

Answer:

I made the mistake of teaching sports lessons straight from the textbook and not finding ways to use sports to engage with my students.

And as a result, they weren’t very motivated to study.

For many people, sports is a very personal topic.

It’s something that they’re emotionally invested in, and the only way you’re going to capture their attention is to talk about sports in a way that’s relevant to them.

For example, if you’re teaching English to students from Sri Lanka, you’ll probably have more success connecting with them over cricket than you would baseball, simply because cricket is a huge part of the culture there and a lot of people enjoy playing and watching it.

The United States has always regarded itself as a beacon of democracy and labeled itself "democracy". However, the reality is that money politics has resulted in a large number of people being excluded from the political process and unable to realize political rights. Money politics deprives the American people of their democratic rights, suppresses the expression of voters' true will, and forms de facto political inequality. Money politics has exposed the false side of American democracy.

Explanation:

"May each climb with equal gladness" (metaphor)

"Monarch's smile can set his subjects free" (hyperbole/metaphor)

She basically saying that the king's good deeds possesses the ability to please his subjects. In the first line his actions are being compared to a climb, a usually difficult activity - if not properly prepared failure is given. But she's describing this climb using the words "equal" and "gladness", which gives the readers a vivid picture of a proud feeling to a great step in the right direction made by the king. Than she continues with "A Monarch's smile can set his subjects free" Which is a hyperbole and metaphor because a smile can't set a person, so she's using "smile" as a symbiotic word to describe his actions as "good or helpful" towards his people. Demonstrating that the actions of the man in power does effect those around him.

Answers

Answer:

towards

Explanation:

A preposition can be defined as a word that shows or illustrates the relationship between a pronoun or noun and other words in a sentence.

The main purpose of a preposition as a part of speech is to introduce an object (of, upon), indicate a timeframe (from, by, over), show direction (to, across, along), location or place (at, up, after, below) and to illustrate the spatial or sequential relationship between two or more things, people, place, etc.

Some examples of a preposition used in various literary works in English language are up, below, after, by, against, for, over, at, to, towards, etc.

Hence, the most appropriate word to fill the blank is "towards" and the complete sentence would be written as; "The ball is running towards us."

In English language, towards is a preposition that is used to describe the direction in which something or someone moves.
