A Three-Point Turn

Chapter 1

"You know, hardly anyone ever needs to do a three-point turn anymore," said Justin, trying to help Becky calm down.

"Oh, so it's not a useful skill AND I am probably going to fail the driving test because I can't do it anyway," Becky said, raising her voice for emphasis. "That should make me feel like a million bucks when I flunk."

Justin was riding with Becky so she could take her driving test. He had volunteered for the job because he thought she would be less nervous with him than with their mom, but so far, he wasn't sure he was making any difference.

"Slow down, your turn is coming up here," he said, looking ahead.

"I know, I know," she replied, "I've been here before remember—the last time I flunked."

Justin was pretty sure if he had let her miss the turn, things would only have deteriorated further, but he wasn't sure he was fond of being the scapegoat for Becky's anxiety.

"Listen, you need to take a few deep breaths," he said, hoping he could help her at least relax a bit. "Being nervous won't help you with the three-point turn or anything else you have to do. Hey, did you just take that turn without your turn signal on?" This was going to be harder than he thought.

"Stop yelling at me," Becky replied, clearly frustrated, "I can't concentrate."

"Look, you need to stop and get yourself together here," Justin started. "It is not just about passing the driving test. I don't want to get in an accident, so pull into that parking lot."

Becky drove into the office building's parking lot where Justin was pointing. Justin knew they were less than a mile from the licensing office, and if she continued in this condition, he'd be having this same discussion three months from now when she tried the test again for the third time.

"You need to get a grip," he started after she put the car in park, "because you have studied and practiced driving all year. You know this stuff inside and out, backwards and forwards. What are you so nervous about?"

"I don't know, I don't know," Becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. "I just get so tired of failing."

Listening quietly as Becky sobbed, Justin realized this was about much more than a driving test. He also knew if he didn't find a way to help Becky things would just get worse.

Chapter 2

Justin took a deep breath and collected his thoughts. Becky was an unbelievably consistent straight-A student. It was Justin who got the bad grades in school, and Justin who had to repeat every math class he'd ever taken. It was Justin who wished he could get the grades Becky got. Some things came easier for Justin: He was athletic, handy with tools, and good at making the best of whatever life threw at him. Mom called him her "lemons into lemonade" kid. But for the most part, Becky succeeded easily, whereas Justin had to work and work to just get a passing grade.

Rather than having Becky catalogue all the things she supposedly "failed" at, Justin decided to try an alternative approach, one that wouldn't remind him of all the ways he had failed.

"Okay, Becky, let's assume for a moment you fail this test again. What is the worst thing that could happen?" he asked.

"I would be the oldest kid at school without a license and be humiliated," she replied. Justin thought he heard a bit of panic in her voice but continued with his plan.

"Yes, but won't we still have to drive to school together for at least one more year anyway?" he asked.

"Yes, but..." she started.

"And who will know, if you don't tell anyone except your friends, that you don't have your license? You know Mom can't afford another car just for you, right?"

"Yes," she said quietly.

"So what difference does it make, really," he said. "Another three months to wait in the grand scheme of your life doesn't seem like all that long, right?"

"I suppose not," she said.

Justin could tell she was breathing more slowly now. "Besides," he said, "I would miss all the practice driving with you," and for good measure he reached over and pinched her arm.

"Ow," she said, hitting back at him, "that hurt."

"So let's go do this, okay?

"Okay," she said. Becky cranked up the car, backed slowly out of the parking spot and drove up to the parking lot's exit. Justin noticed, as they waited for the traffic to clear, that she had remembered the turn signal.

Which is true of both Chapter 1 and Chapter 2?

How are novels and short stories different?

Answers

Answer:

The main difference is in length. Short stories generally range anywhere from 1,500 to 30,000 words whereas novels start from about 50,000 words.  

A short story has one main character and the story is told from that character's point of view, mainly first person. A novel has a cast of characters and the story can be told from any of those characters' viewpoints.

do you think we can be famous if we want? how?​

Answers

I would answer yes but mostly no.

It would be easy to go viral on the internet and that could most likely lead to your fame but being famous means that everyone knows you and it’s not a one time thing. Being viral limits your fame within people who use the internet and look at viral videos along with being a one time fame, like just that one video you’re in. People may not even recognize you, yourself, only recognize the video.

Additionally, trying to become famous in the entertainment industry is difficult, being visually appealing is the bottom line. As a actor you have to be good at acting which isn’t impossible but requires a lot of talent. As a singer you have to be good at singing, the same thing. And so on for comedians and other people in the industry. Everyone has to like you or you’ll be kicked out of the industry or not be famous.
No matter how many movies you act in, how many songs you sing, etc. they have to become hits for yourself to become famous.
And obviously through common sense, hits are difficult to make.

So in the end, becoming famous is hard, but being viral may be easy, or at least easier.

Sorry if this was all over the place, hope it helped.

Answer: In other words, you be whatever you want to be. But that kind of limits when it gets to fame. Being famous means people around the globe knows who you are. People know you, appreciate you. And theyre the reason why you have your fame. But that also means its not easy going viral. Most people do many things for years to become famous. So its better to just try, and one day, you'll get it

Which detail in Rodriguez’s letter supports the idea that there are disadvantages associated with controlled fires?

Answers

Hello. Unfortunately you did not show the letter written by Rodrigues, which makes it impossible for the supporting details about the disadvantages of controlled fires to be presented. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

First, you need to know that a supporting detail is one (or more than one) sentence that proves that an argument is correct. This proof can be done with sentences that present data, examples, or that show, in some way, that the argument presented by the author of the text, must be considered correct and must be taken seriously. In the case of Rodrigues' letter, you already know that the argument is about the disadvantages of controlled fires. To find the supporting details for this argument, you should read the text and identify the sentences Rodrigues uses to show that, in fact, there are disadvantages to using controlled fires. In this case, you need to identify sentences that show how these disadvantages are presented and what the author's data are to prove it.

Now let's know what a controlled fire is and what possible disadvantages you can find in Rodrigues' letter.

Controlled fire is a fire caused intentionally by forest guards, or professionals in this field. This fire is caused with beneficial purposes, as it can combat harmful forest fires, reduce the incidence of severe forest fires, reduce the accumulation of fuel in the forest and stimulate the germination of seeds in the forest soil and reveal soil layers with high concentration of minerals. In this way, we can see that controlled fire is a form of forest management and forest renewal, however, the disadvantages of this practice cannot be ignored.

The main disadvantage is the possibility of loss of control. This is because even though it is managed by professionals, the forest is a place that provides a quick spread of fire. This can cause professionals to lose control of the controlled fire and end up causing a high proportion fire. In this case, the effect of the controlled fire would be highly harmful, as it would cause the loss of biological diversity and the rampant killing of local fauna and flora. Furthermore, fire could cause respiratory problems in urban communities close to the forest and could even put people's safety at risk.

Ninety-eight IBM employees won't show up at the office this year. But they'll still get paid. It's called ``social service leave,'' a full, paid leave that some companies give employees to do civic projects for an extended time, in some cases as long as a year, with a guarantee of the same job or a comparable one afterward.

``Most nonprofit organizations don't function the way we do at IBM,'' says Doris Milles, who is bringing her business know-how to bear on a private nonprofit organization called Masspep (Massachusetts pre-engineering program).

A Boston-based IBM marketing support representative currently on leave, Ms. Milles aims to get very young minority students excited about careers in engineering.

``Speaking for myself, if you are a minority person, you know that a lot of things are out there but you don't know how to go about it,'' she says.

IBM is a giant player in a game played by corporations large and small that have learned they have something even more valuable than money to give to their communities: the time and talents of their employees.

1.I have my car fixed
2.I had my car fixed..​

Answers

Answer:

1. I have my car fixed.

- This is not the correct way to write this. It would make sense if it was "I am going to have my car fixed." However, the word "have" is present tense. That means you are currently having your car being fixed.

2. I had my car fixed.

- This is the correct way to write this. The word "had" is past tense. That means you already fixed your car.

Explanation:

Remember that "have" is a helping verb, and "had" is the past participle. "Have" is a present form while "had" is the past form.

Answers

For the first red, you don't need an article before "relationship".

When you're saying "type of [word]", do not put any article before that word.

Example: "a type of device"

Not too sure about the "your back" parts. It could be your teacher does not like repition.

Also not too sure about "did". He probably wanted you to use the word "felt" instead of "did feel"

The first word of the last paragraph should be "in" not "at".

The red commas definitely do not need to be there.

Don't know why he marked "time to" and "to" red.
