Warm-Up
Which two excerpts are examples of persuasive text?
Select the correct excerpt.
excerpt 1
Early that morning, a young, blue-eyed detective in a belge coat stood in the open doorway of the motel room,
closing an umbrella. A friend on the police force had secretly allowed the detective to enter the room with the
understanding that nothing would be touched. Though this restriction made the job more difficult, the confident
detective knew that well-trained
eyes could find a lot of clues on their own. Suddenly, the detective was nearly
knocked off balance by a muddy dog chasing a black cat into the room.
excerpt 2
The minimum age for obtaining a driver's license should be lowered from 16 to 15. If 15-year-olds can drive with a
special driver's permit, why not just lower the legal age for a license to 15? Since most 15-year-olds are getting ready
to get a job anyway, they need a license earlier so they can start looking for employment. Most importantly,
if 15-year-olds were allowed to drive earlier, we would need fewer school buses. Students could start driving
themselves to school a year earlier.
excerpt 3
Like me, you probably could make the move. The move, that is, to eat better meals and to do something active
every day. It's definitely made me feel better. I've even improved my grades as a result. In fact, I've done well on my
last three geometry tests. It just may be that healthy veggie burger and a walk after dinnerl My dad and I are proud.
When are you going to make the move?
excerpt 4
The shabby, old piano had belonged to Lani's grandmother and, from the look of it had belonged to others before
her. The piano stood neglected in the living room until Lani was two-years-old and had grown tall enough to reach
the keys. Lani couldn't see them, but she knew the plano keys were magical. Even then, she felt reverence for the
piano as she touched it gently, never banging on the keys.

Hi there, can you just read this and rate it and tell my what you think of it. Its for a English competition.
I heavily pushed the wooden cinnamon colour door open as it screeched on the reeking dusty floor, leaving scraped marks. My blonde hair strands flowed around amid the unfocused lightened landscape, I tightened my toes to the grass, clenched my hair and brushed it out of my face, sighing ecstatically. I waved to my sister and ran off to collect wood. I looked around as animals cluttered around me, getting on with their daily routines. robins chirping, rabbits scurrying, squirrels squeaking and stealing acorns from oak trees, the hedgehog yields a yorn, buttercups, roses, lily pads, “OOOOWWWW ”. I fell...But.. before I helped myself get up, I stopped; My heart dropped to my stomach and my brain tingled as my body seared in anxiety. I felt something coiling around me. His hand reached out. His skin was black. Bleach black as if it was painted, his left eye blue and the other yellow. He pulled me up and asked if I was okay. “ I'm okay, thanks ''. He gave an amiable aura though he gave a diabolical feeling at the same time. “A snake”. He wore gold accessories, ripped black pants and tall. But I saw the exposed lacerated wounded maims that had stained him. He was about to leave but I got a strong grip of his hand. “what's your name? ”. He looked at me bluntly before answering “ kuzan.” The atmosphere got awkward fast especially when I'm still smiling at a statue, frozen to death. “What's up?,are you okay?, are you hurt? Do you need medicine??” he asked. “No, but where are you going?” “Home”. Home? I thought it was only me and Kiji that was living here… “ummm, would you like to come with me?”

I stepped on a blanket formed from velvet blossom petals, which blanketed the sandy ground; a thin branch of blossoms lingering on the tip of my rosie nose, the pink tip bleeding towards the centre to the white. I got disturbed by a noisy crowd. A boy was fighting a tiger but he didn't seem to be doing much, rather just standing there, his boney feet clenched to the ground, indigo black swollen bruises, blood slithering down the side of his face, but he had a menacing expression. The tiger recedes back and forcefully jumps on his petite peachy body, and his body hammers to the ground. Slowly. I wondered why the situation was unattended, inexplicabley, the rare tiger glanced at Kuzan with his tyrannical, malice eyes. “I heard that dense supervisor secretly connived the kid and gave consent to fight the tiger!”. They're gonna make an example of the kid!”. There was another body laying beside him. Blood

PLEASE HELP ASAP Select the correct text in the passage. In this excerpt from “Hansel and Gretel” by the Brothers Grimm, which two sentences reveal through indirect characterization that Hansel is a caring brother? The two children had also not been able to sleep for hunger, and had heard what their stepmother had said to their father. Gretel wept bitter tears, and said to Hansel: “Now all is over with us.” “Be quiet, Gretel,” said Hansel, “do not distress yourself, I will soon find a way to help us.” And when the old folks had fallen asleep, he got up, put on his little coat, opened the door below, and crept outside. The moon shone brightly, and the white pebbles which lay in front of the house glittered like real silver pennies. Hansel stooped and stuffed the little pocket of his coat with as many as he could get in. Then he went back and said to Gretel: “Be comforted, dear little sister, and sleep in peace, God will not forsake us,” and he lay down again in his bed. When day dawned, but before the sun had risen, the woman came and awoke the two children, saying: “Get up, you sluggards! we are going into the forest to fetch wood.” She gave each a little piece of bread, and said: “There is something for your dinner, but do not eat it up before then, for you will get nothing else.” Gretel took the bread under her apron, as Hansel had the pebbles in his pocket. Then they all set out together on the way to the forest. When they had walked a short time, Hansel stood still and peeped back at the house, and did so again and again. His father said: “Hansel, what are you looking at there and staying behind for? Pay attention, and do not forget how to use your legs.” “Ah, father,” said Hansel, “I am looking at my little white cat, which is sitting up on the roof, and wants to say goodbye to me.”
