Speech Passage #1Instructions: Please read the passage below and answer the questions in full sentences.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, teachers, parents, and my fellow students. Our today’s meeting is an outstanding event for all of us as another academic year has come to an end. This means that another group of students graduates from our school and is to start its way into the ‘adult life’. Actually, this ‘adult life’ seems to be less appealing and more terrifying with its close oncoming, and it is a great fortune that it is not my turn to enter it yet.

I have one more year of study left, so this occasion does not have a direct relation to me, still there are a few important things I am eager to tell our graduates, among which is my older sister. The first one is: please, do not be afraid of the changes that come to your life; they are crucial, unpredictable, and overwhelming but you are able to deal with them. Thus, just built your own way and remember that your families and friends are always there to provide you with any needed support. In addition, please, keep in mind the fact that we are graduating after you and look up for you as the examples and inspirations, so, do not be up to anything you would not like us to do. I believe that would be the most suitable advice and recommendation you can hear from someone my age.

Another point that I would like to highlight is the crucial value of your dreams as, like the great Steve Jobs pointed out, the way to success is to “dream bigger”, and this tool is available for everyone. There has barely been one person in the world that had never failed, so, you, most probably, will not become such an exception. Thus, do not limit yourself by the fear of losing; you will lose one day anyway, and this occasion is unpredictable and unpreventable. It may sound absolutely discouraging but have a think about it: if there is nothing to hold you back, everything is possible.

With this in mind, make a bold, confident, and reckless step in the life, hurry to fall, because the sooner you will do this, the more time you will have for getting back to the top. Do not let the obstacles and failures stop you as they are just other twists of a great life adventure you are to embark on, and we are looking forward to witness.

Answer:

The answer(s) are below

Explanation:

1. The main topic of this speech is, to not have the fear of growing up; consequentially graduating. It helps the reader understand that graduating is a big step in life and that it will happen sooner or later. it is just a fact of life, so the passage helps the person understand that instead of getting discouraged and giving up or being hyper prone to giving up because of someones opinion. The reader should do their best and accept the fact that graduating happens to every one and they should make the best of it.

2. The form of text being utilized is persuasive/inspirational, the entire preface of the passage (see comprehension question 1.) Is persuading students and young adults not to give up, and persevere, under this, it almost becomes and inspirational speech as well.

3. The supporting details for this persuasive excerpt/passage, are that the setting for this passage is almost as if there was a meeting, or a student council meeting, for young people as well as youngsters. Steve Jobs is quoted in this passage by saying "dream bigger" telling the audience to figuratively and literally, dream bigger and to not be afraid of failure because they can always get back on their feet some how. Another point that would not be considered supporting detailed but has come to my attention is the rhetoric used in this speech is so mature yet understanding of the current situation, it is amazing.

4. After reading the passage this speech seems to be targeted to young adults/teens graduating or soon to graduate. Although as with all speeches, there is a target audience, that does not mean that the speech is only for that audience. A teen recently enrolled into high school might find great comfort in this speech.

5. This speech could be further improved by, in my opinion, giving more examples. This text has given many examples, you just need to look hard. In my analyzing of passages one thing that usually sticks out to me is when a story does not have many examples, this passage has examples, and the ones it uses are very powerful; but having more examples just gives writing that extra flare and makes it even more enjoyable than it already is.

This speech's main theme is overcoming the fear of maturing and, consequently, of graduating. It aids the reader in realizing that graduating from college is a significant life milestone and that it will occur sooner or later.

The paragraph helps the user comprehend that rather than becoming disheartened and giving up or being overly prone to give up because of someone else's opinion. It is just a reality of life.

The skill of communicating to a reader through speech writing involves employing appropriate syntax and expression. Writing speeches isn't all that different from other kinds of narrative writing. Students should be aware of specific punctuation and writing style conventions, nevertheless. Even though creating the perfect speech can be difficult, using the right speech writing framework can guarantee that you never fall short.

Introduce the topic and introduce yourself before introducing the audience.

Body should contain detailed presentation of the subject, outlining salient points, potential advantages and disadvantages, and so forth.

Conclusion should include summarize your speech, bring it to a close, and give your audience something important to ponder.

While most visitors to Washington, D.C., visit the well-known memorials, including the Washington Monument, the Lincoln and Jefferson
memorials, and the more recent Vietnam Memorial Wall, a beautiful and lesser-known memorial is an environmental park that occupies 7.5
acres, it is the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial. In 1974, Lawrence Halprin was commissioned to design the memorial, he is a respected
environmental designer who has worked on restoration projects and designs in San Francisco, Seattle, and even Jerusalem. The FDR
Memorial has four outdoor galleries, or rooms, that represent his four terms of office, with trees, waterfalls, sculptures, and pools defining
the spaces. The first room represents FDR's first term in the midst of the Great Depression, the second room represents his leadership of
hope through his fireside chats, the third room represents the difficulties and uncertainties of war, the fourth room represents a brief
moment of peace before his death in office. Although Roosevelt himself disliked being seen in his wheelchair, one of the sculptures
represents him in his chair. He was a chain smoker who was often seen with his cigarette holder in hand, none of the sculptures include his
cigarette. However, he would have probably appreciated the sculpture with his beloved dog, Fala.

someone, please explain to me these poem lines (DETAILED)
'And when I go to dancing-class on Saturdays at three,
I find the First Position very difficult for me.
Though I put my best foot foremost, and good time I try to keep,
To my chagrin, I often find a foot or two asleep.

Athletics I attempted, but, alas! I must admit
That every exercise I tried I put my foot in it.
I think I'll join a foot-ball team,--as many friends suggest,--
Before I've one foot in the grave and gout in all the rest.
But now I'll say good-morning; for, my friend, I have to stop
To get my boots blacked neatly at this little boot-black's shop;
And, as you may imagine, it will keep me here some time,
But, what is worse, I'll have to pay him many a hard-earned dime.'
The centipede want to polish his shoes but it will take some time and he will have to pay for making the shoes back
And as he went he murmured, in a thoughtful undertone:
'I'm a happy little Spider, and I'm very glad indeed,
That I was born an octoped and not a centipede!'

How can you get from England to France in just 20 minutes? Travel in the Channel Tunnel. This railway
tunnel runs underneath the English Channel, the body of water that separates England and France, and
carries high-speed passenger trains as well as freight trains. To address public fears about the safety of
traveling in such a large, lengthy tunnel, engineers designed the tunnel to actually consist of three tunnels:
two that are used for rail traffic, and one in between that serves as an escape route. Just one year after the
tunnel opened, the design proved to be a good one-fire broke out in a train coming from France and
everyone was able to escape through the service tunnel
