Answer:

INTRODUCTION: Our house on Baker Street was the only home I had ever known. I could not imagine my life anywhere else, and I didn’t want to. My dad’s company had him transferred out of the state, and I was nervous about moving and having to start all over. I wasn’t sure what to expect and that thought scared me. Moving to a new neighborhood right before the beginning of sixth grade was hard, but it brought me closer to my family and pushed me to try something new.

BODY: Moving to a new place during summer vacation was tough. I thought it would be a long, boring summer. Luckily, I have three siblings. We got along well, but we never spent much time together. That summer changed everything. We spent a lot of time swimming at the local swimming pool and exploring the city (Centerville). We got to know each other better and learned that we enjoyed spending time with each other. Since then, we’ve been able to develop new friendships with people in Centerville, but we continue to enjoy spending time together. My siblings even supported my idea of trying out for a singing contest that was held in the city. I had never sung in public, but I decided to do something I wasn't comfortable with. I practiced for weeks, but I was still nervous about performing in front of everyone. When I took to the stage, I fed off the crowd’s excitement and enjoyed every minute. I ended up taking first place in my age group and was heralded as an “up-and-coming star” of the community (Morris). Taking a chance and stepping outside of my comfort zone allowed me to find something that I’m passionate about doing.

CONCLUSION: Although I miss my old friends, moving has been a wonderful opportunity for me to develop better relationships with my siblings and a talent that I never dreamed of sharing with others. If we hadn’t moved to Centerville, I don’t think I would have had the opportunity to create great relationships with my siblings or to take the chance on performing. While I thought the move would be the end of life as I knew it, it quickly helped me develop my identity with respect to my family relationships and talents. I’m thankful for my parents’ decision to move to Centerville and the ways that it has affected my life.

Explanation:

hope this is what ur looking for

Outsourcing is a strategic decision by a company to reduce costs and increase efficiency by hiring another individual or company to perform tasks, provide services, or handle operations that were previously done by employees within the company. In other words, outsourcing is the practice of getting certain job functions done outside a company.

This is how companies outsource certain functions:

The company can outsource part of its production process, e.g., the manufacturing and installing of windows in their cars. Assembling time and costs can be saved by outsourcing an expensive production process to an external company that can do it at a cheaper cost.

Read the passage.

excerpt from Chanticleer and the Fox, adapted and dramatized from Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer

CHANTICLEER: Oh! (clearly upset) I had the most horrible dream. I thought that, as I roamed down by the wood, a beast like a dog sprang out and seized me. His color was red, his nose was small, and his eyes were like coals of fire. Ugh! It was terrible! (Chanticleer moans loudly and shudders.)

DAME PARTLET: Tut, tut! (in a scornful manner) Are you a coward to be frightened by a dream? You’ve been eating more than was good for you. I wish my husband to be wise and brave if he would keep my love! (She smooths her feathers, coos, and slowly closes her scarlet eyes.)

When preparing to analyze a speech, what is the first thing you should figure out?


the speaker's personal opinions


the purpose of the speech


the speaker’s experience with the topic


the main idea

Read the paragraph. Kate and Josiah were seated at a card table, putting together a giant puzzle. Kate was working on one corner while Josiah pieced together a different corner. Although neither said so, each girl was trying to outdo the other to complete the largest portion of the puzzle. Kate decided to take a break. When she stood up, she accidently bumped the table. Josiah’s pieces all fell to the floor. Josiah was so angry, she swiped her arm across Kate’s portion and puzzle pieces flew everywhere. Kate’s mom was watching from the other room. “What a shame. Now you will both have to start all over. Two wrongs don’t make a right.” What is the meaning of the adage in the paragraph? By working together, people can complete tasks more quickly and efficiently. Although at times friends may disagree, they should never treat each other with anger or disrespect. It is important to be able to admit to mistakes when one makes them. The fact that someone has done something unfair or upsetting does not justify acting in a similar way.

Read the excerpt from the play The King of Sharks:

Scene 3

Young man with a birthmark in the shape of shark teeth on his back is hiding behind some trees, listening to fishermen talk.

Narrator: The shark prince grew up. He became a strong young man who looked just like the other young men of the village, except for the strange birthmark on his back.

Fisherman 1: I hear there is good fishing out at the cove. I will head there tomorrow morning at first light.

Fisherman 2: I will join you! Be sure you don't mention where you are going to anyone else. It will mean more fish for us!

Fisherman 1: I won't tell a soul. You must have said something last time. There were hardly any fish left.

Narrator: The prince often listened to where the village fishermen planned to go, and he would always get there first to eat his fill of the delicious fish. With his father's cloak around his shoulders, the prince could transform into a shark whenever he chose. The fishermen were becoming suspicious.

Exit fishermen. Prince creeps down to the water's edge and wraps the cloak around his shoulders before jumping into the sea. A shark fin can be seen heading out into the water. Enter fishermen.

Fisherman 1: I knew it! That trickster boy has been stealing our fish.

Fisherman 2: It's not right, using magic to rob honest people of food and a living.

Fisherman 1: He must go.

Read the excerpt from the story Hummingbird and Heron:

The two birds began to argue over who had eaten more fish. Finally, Hummingbird raised his wing to stop the debate.

"I do not think there are enough fish left in the river for both of us," he said. "Let's have a race. Whoever reaches the dead tree on the other side of the hills first owns all the fish. The loser has to find something else to eat."

Heron agreed. They prepared to race. Hummingbird was certain that he would win. He watched Heron as she awkwardly stretched her wings and prepared to fly. This will be like catching fish in a barrel, he thought with a grin.

Hummingbird zoomed past Heron as soon as the race began. He flew so far ahead that he lost sight of her behind him. He slowed down as he passed a patch of wildflowers. They smelled so sweet that he had to stop and look at them more closely. Hummingbird just had to try some of their nectar. He drank until his belly was heavy and his eyelids drooped. Perhaps just a short nap, he thought, as he settled himself into a nest of soft leaves.

It was late in the day when Hummingbird woke up. He stretched his wings and glanced at the sky. He could just make out the shape of Heron, flying slowly but surely toward the dead tree. She was almost done with the race! Hummingbird zipped into the air and flew as fast as he could, but it was too late. Heron reached the tree first. From that day forward, Heron owned the fish, and Hummingbird lived on nectar.

In both mythical texts, greedy characters choose to try to trick or manipulate other characters. What is different about the experiences of the shark prince and Hummingbird?

Only Hummingbird's manipulation of Heron is discovered as he drinks nectar and naps.
Only Hummingbird's manipulation of Heron is unsuccessful because he drinks nectar and naps.
Only the shark prince's tricking of the fishermen is successful because he keeps eating the fish.
Only shark prince's tricking of the fishermen remains a secret as he keeps eating the fish.

The following question has two parts. Answer Part A first, and then Part B.

Part A
Read this excerpt from “The New Psychology of Leadership”?

Given that good leadership depends on constituent cooperation and support, this new psychology of leadership negates the notion that leadership is exclusively a top-down process. In fact, it suggests that to gain credibility among followers, leaders must try to position themselves among the group rather than above it. In his use of everyday language—such as “hunt down” and “those folks”—Bush portrayed himself on 9/11 as a typical American able to speak for America.

Which conclusion can most logically be drawn based on the claims in this passage?

A. Leaders who are intelligent cannot succeed in leading a large group.
B. The specific attitudes of an effective leader will vary, depending on the group he or she represents.
C. Leaders who give powerful speeches are actually less effective than leaders who use simple words.
D. People's favorable perceptions of a leader will lead them to support him or her, even if they disagree with his or her decisions.
Part B
Which excerpt from “The New Psychology of Leadership” best supports the answer to Part A?

A. [N]o fixed set of personality traits can assure good leadership because the most desirable traits depend on the nature of the group being led.
B. For example, Bush was connecting with Middle America—intentionally or otherwise—when he littered his speeches with verbal gaffes. . . .
C. Even some of the most oft-touted leadership traits, such as intelligence, can be called into question in some settings. Some people consider being down-to-earth or trustworthy as more important than being brilliant. . . .
D. The most effective leaders define their group's social identity to fit with the policies they plan to promote, enabling them to position those policies as expressions of what their constituents already believe.
