Before I initiated sentence combining practice my students mainly saw the revision process as one of editing. They seemed to operate under a least effort strategy, meaning, they changed what was easiest to change. So they conducted "housekeeping" by fixing spelling, capitalization, formatting, and perhaps punctuation rather than engaging in what revising should have been, namely molding the sound of text to make a message clearer or providing an audience with what they need to know. But after sentence combining practice the number of revisions climbed. My students were changing words, adding phrases and clauses, and re-working entire sentences

Hi. Although you submitted a text, you did not submit any questions about it. This makes it impossible for me to give you an answer. However, I will try to help you by showing you what this text means.

Generally speaking, we can state that the text presents how to make students review texts frequently, can improve the ability of these students to proofread and edit a text, making the text more coherent and fluid, with the modification of the entire structure and text composition. The text above reinforces that this is a result of repeated revisions, which shows that the more revisions students do, the more efficient their ability to edit a text efficiently.

Which detail best shapes the idea that the Japanese art of boat building may be lost to future generations?

excerpt from School of Hard Knots
by Alex Hanson

The typical apprenticeship with a Japanese traditional boatbuilder lasts six years, during which an apprentice can expect to spend a lot of time sweeping the shop floor and sharpening tools while watching the master ply his trade. Work is conducted in silence, questions are answered elliptically, if at all, and, by the end, the master will have withheld key pieces of knowledge that the apprentice is expected to acquire through guile or outright theft.
Even in Japan, where traditional crafts are revered, this system is too grueling, too much at odds with modern life, to survive. It is no wonder, then, that as a generation of Japanese boatwrights has retired, their knowledge has retired with them. Vermont boatbuilder Douglas Brooks is trying to ensure that the centuries-old designs for fishing boats and water taxis don't follow these craftsmen to the grave.
For more than two decades, Brooks has researched traditional boatmaking in Japan, and has done short, nontraditional apprenticeships to record boat designs. Ordinarily, no Westerner would have a hope of learning in a few weeks what usually takes years of patient observation to acquire.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. So some of the cheefe of the company, perceiveing the mariners to faare the suffislencle of the shipe, as appeared by their mutterings, they entred into serious consulltation with the mr and other officers of the ship, to consider in time of the danger, and rather to returne then to cast them selves into a desperate and inevitable perill.

In his "Four Freedoms" Speech to Congress, President Franklin Roosevelt calls for the end of human oppression and the beginning of universal liberty. Which sentence from the passage best support this analysis?

from Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" Speech


The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.

The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.

The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world.

The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.

That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.

To that new order we oppose the greater conception—the moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear.

Since the beginning of our American history, we have been engaged in change—in a perpetual peaceful revolution—a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions—without the concentration camp or the quick-lime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.

This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is our unity of purpose.

To that high concept there can be no end save victory.

D. The nation has placed it's destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of it's millions of free men and woman: and it's faith in freedom under the guidance of God.

E. To that high concept there can be no end to slavery.

Indonesia in late 2008. While eating lunch, one scientist looked down. He saw a little frog jump onto a nearby rice
sack, and he caught it with his hands. The creature turned out to be a new species of long-nosed frog. The
scientists named the species Pinocchio.
