Football and baseball are two of the

most popular sports in the country. They

are similar in some ways. For one, they

are both team sports, and they both

require players to advance to an end or

“home” point on the playing field.

However, football, unlike baseball

requires players to carry the ball to the end

zone, while in baseball, it is the defending

team that controls the ball while it is in play.

Three years ago, while walking home from

school, he found a magic blanket. When he

covered himself with it, he turned invisible. At first

he used his power to play all kinds of tricks on

people. Then he’d turn invisible and hide things, or

move a cup when someone was pouring juice to

make a mess. He had a lot of fun. But after a few

months, he found that he couldn’t take the blanket

off. He was just stuck invisible. Meanwhile, he quit

playing tricks on people, hoping that he’d be able to

take the blanket off and rejoin society, but it didn’t

work. Years later, he is still invisible somewhere

right now, and he is very lonely.

students do not know how to study for a test.

notes up to the section that you are supposed to

review. Then, read what you wrote in your notebook.

notebook back up a try again.

Being involved in after school sports and clubs is

not a right. It is a privilege. Therefore, students

have to meet eligibility requirements. If students

have any “D”s or “F”s, then they are not allowed to

play. Also, if students have behavior issues in

class, they cannot be on the team or in the club.

students need to keep good attendance.

certainly cannot come to practice. Being on a team is a lot of responsibility.

Which two types of text structure are present in this passage?

There are several health problems in shanty towns. Firstly, houses are often overcrowded and have poor air circulation. This makes it easier to catch diseases like flu, TB and diphtheria where infection enters through the throat. Second, there are no drains, sewers or rubbish collection services. The resulting pools of stagnant water and heaps of household waste attract rats and insects, which can pass on diseases. The government could do a lot to solve these problems.

I propose they start with these steps first. The first solution is that authorities could provide householders with building materials to improve their conditions and educate them about the importance of ventilation. Secondly, the city council could construct drains and provide a rubbish collection service to reduce the risk of infections spread by rats and insects.

If the government took these steps, the result would be a safer, healthier environment.
