Read the speech and answer the question.

[1] Picture this: It's Spring Break, and you fly off to some country where there's lush rainforests and beautiful, blue coastlines to explore. There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.

[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."

[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.

[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).

[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.

[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.

How does the speaker's metaphor of a gold star in paragraph 3 support the purpose of the speech?

It challenges the audience to view voluntourism opportunities in a positive light.

It confirms the idea that voluntourism experiences look good on a college or career resume.

It emphasizes the selfish and superficial motivation behind voluntour opportunities.

It highlights the generous contribution that voluntours make to the areas they visit.

_____is a rule based method of communication that relies on the comprehension of signs and symbols through which ideas are represented.

Read the passage. First identify the text structure used in the passage, and then explain how this structure helps develop the writer's central idea. Use evidence from the text in your response.

The rise in popularity of farmers' markets has caused many people to rethink their use of regular grocery stores. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Farmers' markets have fresh and local produce, and often you get a chance to meet the people who grow your food. This isn't the case with grocery stores, where you'll never get to meet the farmers. Grocery stores are starting to have more local products, though, and they have a better variety of goods. Another thing to consider is the setting itself. Farmers' markets are usually in more pleasant, open-air locations where there's often live music playing. Grocery stores, on the other hand, can be busy and uncomfortable if you don't like shopping. The pleasant atmosphere comes at a price, though, as your bill at a farmers' market is likely to be 25 percent more than at a grocery store. All in all, the freshness and quality of food is worth a little more money. Farmers' markets are the way to go.

Now that you have worked through a lot of material that includes these basic patterns, and you have compared
grammatically correct and incorrect sentences, write down what you think is a rule that could explain what makes a
sentence grammatically correct or not. For example, you might write something like: "verbs always match nouns in
number, and they usually come before the noun. In other words, make your best guess for the grammar rule that makes
sense out of the pattern(s) you see in the phrases you have been working with. Review if you need to, and you might
briefly check your hunches against the sentences you have been working with in this or previous modules. Keep in mind
that what you're after iS your hunch, not a grammar rule from a text book. Now check your hunch with the explanation of
this principle in the following pattern.

Hero in my life is my grandfather Throughout life we know, meet and admire many people. Still, there is always a special person that represents the hero to whom we look up to. When people mention the word "hero", the first thing that pops into our heads is a person with a cape and superpowers, but we should be aware that not all of the heroes wear capes! Such a hero is my grandfather… My grandfather was an infant boy who was a very sickly child. At the age of 6, he was already hospitalized several times because of his poor health. When he had finished primary and high school, he started working as a mailman in the small town, but he was soon recruited to fight in wars. During the military training, he proved himself to be quite capable of becoming a pilot which he did. By the age of 18, he already had his flight hours! Still, because of his health problems, he was denied further flight activities so he had to return to his little town. Without any money and job opportunities, he worked as a cleaning man in the local theatre. His job was not only to sweep the floors but to make sure that everything is working perfectly on set, from equipment and costumes to actors and their lines. One day, the main actor of one play broke his leg while climbing the backstage and he was unable to perform. My grandfather who remembered the entire text jumped in and started acting instead of him. The theatre decided to employ him as one of their actors since they were amazed by his undiscovered talent. Throughout his short life, he became one of the better-known theatre-actors in his little town and he earned a lot of money considering the job that he did and the time in which he had lived. Later, he married my grandmother and he accomplished everything that he imagined. At one point he wrote his plays for the theatres and many of the plays were quite successful. When I was little, he was in the late stage of Parkinson's disease and he was unable to move anything except his left arm. Even with such struggles, he thought me the basic principles of theatre and stage performance. He explained to me what is the purpose of living a life and how to live it. Even though he died young in his 40’ and despite his health problems, he became a hero to me because he had taught me that you can accomplish anything you desire no matter how hard your life is and that the only thing you need is a will to live. As I said at the beginning, not all heroes wear capes. Still, I can assure you that my hero wore not one but many capes throughout his acting career days. He proved to everyone that you can wrestle with destiny and win! I know that most people expect from a hero to be a hero to everyone which is almost always the case with a soldier, a policeman, a firefighter, etc. But I could not be more proud of having a person who is a hero to me.

WATER

water is so plentiful around us that we take it for granted, water is very important; for without water, there would be no life at all. Do you know that bodies of plants and animals contain more water than any other substance? Besides the air we breathe, water plays a big part in our daily life. Aside from having water for our personal use, water is also used for power and transportation.

About 70 percent of the Earth's surface is water. It can alter the face of the earth by its movements. Climate is determined by water current. Water could be harnessed as electric power to run machines of factories and homes. Because water runs downhill, it can create a force that can be harnessed as electric power.

Water provides a means of inexpensive transportation for commodities and materials to almost any place on earth. Water expands about 1700 times when converted into steam, thus creating power that can drive a locomotive

Water is a universal solvent. It dissolves many different compounds. From seawater, bromine, which is used in anti-knock gasoline, could be produced. Potash used for fertilizer could be produced from inland waters.

Water is used in many engineering tasks because it is almost incompressible. Water has a higher specific heat than most substances although it is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Water has been adopted as the standard of measurement of specific gravity and specific heat

Photoplasm, the fundamental source of life, is greatly made up of water. The sap of plants as well as the blood of man are primarily water. If man is not able to drink water for eight or 10 days, he would die. Man needs to drink a great deal of water. In fact, man's body is made up of more than two-thirds water.

Water, generally, has some impurities in it except rainwater and the water found in the ice fields around the North and South poles. Seawater contains a great deal of salt in the form of sodium chloride, while mountain water contains large amounts of iron salts and sulfides. These impurities may be harmful and distasteful when used for drinking. They may even be harmful to equipment using water.

We hear of the term hard water which is generally applied to water containing large amounts of calcium and magnesium chlorides and sulfates. The water is considered soft when these minerals are absent from water. The white scaly substance which appears on the bottom of a tea kettle after a period of time is calcium carbonate found in water. A process known as deionization removes salt from the solution through the use of certain chemicals.

Health centers were established to test water and to study and recommend means to eliminate harmful impurities in water since it is the fundamental substance of human life.

The city operated a purification plant designed and established by engineers trained in this work in highly populated areas where water is taken from rivers or lakes for home use

The addition of chlorine to water is the most practical one among the many purification methods. Chlorination prevents contamination of water in swimming pools, thus rendering it safe.
