1. Descriptive Paragraph
Cone shells are snails with exquisitely patterned shells, normally consisting of brown
decorations against a light background. The shell can be as much as 23 cm long. The
spire of the shell is not very obvious, giving it the appearance of a short, stubby cigar.
The only parts of the animal visible outside are the large, muscular foot, the long
proboscis, which is essentially its mouth and its eye stalks.
An adult male gharial can be much as 6.5 m long and weigh several hundred kilograms.
Females are a great deal smaller than males, but they are still impressive looking
crocodilians. The snout is very long and thin and is armed with numerous needlesharp
teeth. The body is very heavy, yet the limbs are weak. The tail is large and powerful
and is flattened from side to side.
The giant anteater is an elongate mammal covered in shaggy gray, white and black fur.
A stripe of black fur runs diagonally from the shoulder to the back. The very long,
bushy tail can be used to cover the animal’s body. Its small head tapers down into a
long conical snout. The powerful front legs end in long, curved claws, but to keep these
off the ground the anteater walks on its knuckles and the sides of its hands giving it a
limping, shuffling gait.

2. Persuasive Paragraph
From here comes something more. Can we dispense with the need for printing the
journal. I don’t think that we can do that entirely. It would mean a lot of change in the
world we live in. I don’t think that it is the time thatwe can have only the electronic
version of the journal even though the future may guide us to do only that. We have
not reached that stage as yet. It might come in the near future. Perhaps we may start
doing that from now in a phased manner. I remember, the Journal of Rehabilitation
Research and Development, brought out by the Veterans Administration, many years
ago announced that there are two things that make a lot of impact on the finances
required to support the journal. One is the printing cost and second is the postage. Now
we have also realized that paper cost is not just drained from the pockets of the
publisher but also drains the resources of the earth. Keeping that idea in mind, I am
proposing an idea to all the members of the association. I understand that as per the
membership rules, all life members of IAPMR are supposed to get the journal for their
lives, free of cost. I would like to respect that. But let us also respect the earth, our
mother, which gives everything to us. Let us do our part by saving the earth by saving
trees. Those of us who are good net users and are comfortable to read the journal online,
why not do our part by opting out of the print copies of the journal. The journal shall
be available on the net. We can read it, download and print the copies if needed to be
attached somewhere with applications etc. It would save us not only the trees but the
precious space on the earth needed to store the print version. Not just the space on the
earth but look at the limited space in your almirahs in your homes or offices. You would

3. consider it a disrespect to throw old copies of the journal which are ‘occupying’
precious space you would like to keep something else.
Individuals all trustees of earth, seeking in ecology, economics and ethics policies
and decisions that will benefit people and planet. In the present state of the world, the
space age, trustee concept has a chance of tapping the best in human hopes and
aspirations and providing a healthy, innovative and fulfilling future for our planet and
its people. In this new future, deeds will demonstrate what is best in creeds. Young
earth trustees will focus on the many solutions that are being found around the world.
The objective is now the new rejuvenation of earth. We must rally and inspire a grand
effort for earth, and an earth campaign that will eliminate poverty and pollution
and bring new freedom, order and opportunity. This will happen as every
individual chooses to act as a responsible trustee of earth.
In summary, the ignorance of the balance of life will negatively harm us. We will use
up valuable resources and die either by fighting for the resource, or die by lack of the
needed resource. Everything that negatively affects Earth ties back to mankind and our
lack of care for the environment. We all use and use, thinking everything is unlimited,
when in reality it isn’t. We have to inform society of the dangers, and resolve the
ignorance of man. The Power is in Our Hands!

4. Time Order Paragraph
Paragraph 1
The Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 takes off from Kuala Lumpur at 12.41am
local time bound for Beijing, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew. The plane is last
seen on military radar at 2.14am, heading west over the Strait of Malacca. Half an hour
later the airline reveals to the public that it has lost contact with the plane. The plane
was due to land at around 6.30am.
Paragraph 2
In a press conference at roughly 10:00 AM CDT (1500 UTC), Nagin declared
that "a mandatory evacuation order is hereby called for all of the parish of Orleans."
"We're facing the storm most of us have feared," he told the early-morning news
conference, with the governor at his side. Following Nagin's speech, Governor Blanco
stated that President Bush called her "just before" the press conference and said that he
was "concerned about the storm’s impact" and asked her "to please ensure that there
would be a mandatory evacuation of New Orleans." Katrina was expected to make
landfall overnight. Shortly after the meeting, at 10:00 AM CDT (1500 UTC),
the National Weather Service issued a bulletin predicting "devastating" damage.
Paragraph 3
On 3 February, Cyclone Yasi - a massive 1,450km in diameter- crossed
theQueensland coast at about 25km/h and with wind gusts of 285km/h (thoughno
equipment was able to directly measure the winds). Thousands of people were

5. evacuated from Cairns after fears the city could take a direct hit. In the end, Yasi's path
had Mission Beach, near Cardwell, and the World Heritage-listed Hinchinbrook Island
in mind. It flattened sugar cane and banana crops, huge areas of trees and many
buildings, though no one was killed. The cyclone was so powerful that it didn't
complete disperse until it reached the centre of Australia, near Alice Springs. It's
estimated Cyclone Yasi cost $3.6 billion of damage - the most costly cyclone in
Australia to date.

7. Paragraph of Comparation
Students who have Mr. Jones and Mr. Smith are immediately aware of the difference
in the lecturing manner of each teacher. Mr. Jones has a pleasant voice, which helps
hold the interest of the students. He pronounces clearly in a rhythmic pattern
emphasizing key words. His moderate tone and inflected words make his lectures
interesting. Mr. Jonesalso adds humour to his subject, and he welcomes questions from
students who don’t understand the material. He takes his time and explains slowly. He
tries to make sure that his students understand a concept before he moves on to
something new, and he is very enthusiastic about his subject. Mr. Smith, on the other
hand, has a different tone, pronunciation, expression and attitude from Mr. Jones. He
has a booming voice, which commands rather than teaches, and sometimes it is hard to
understand because he runs his words together. His lectures are not as interesting as
those of Mr. Jones, either, because Mr. Smith speaks in a boring monotone. He also
hates to be interrupted; feeling that he must cover everything.Mr. Smith teaches every
class in a serious, determined mood. Thus, as the above points illustrate, the lectures of
Mr. Jones and Mr. Smith are quite different.
Even though high school and college are both institutions of learning, they differ in at
least three ways. The first difference between high school and college is their social
atmospheres. In high school the facility is usually smaller, and students are, for the
most part, well acquainted with each other. In addition, students in high school have

8. the same six hour 7:45 to 1:45 day, thus helping them to know one another better. On
the college scene people are constantly coming and going, therefore rarely seeing the
same person twice in a day, which accounts for fewer people being acquainted with
each other. The second difference between high school and college is their policies
about homework. In high school, homework is required to help motivate students to
study. Knowing they have to submit assignments in algebra or history gives students
an incentive to keep up with these subjects. In college most homework consists of
studying;very little of it is written and turned in. If students do their homework, it is to
their advantage;if they do not, the teachers will not force them to do it. The student is
only wasting his own money if he neglects his coursework. The third and last difference
between high school and college is their attendance policies. In high school, students
must attend class to get assignments and personal help in a certain area. Furthermore,
high school students are less responsible;therefore, they need more guidance, which
they can receive by going to class. In college, students may skip classes if they choose
and refer to the syllabus to acquire missed assignments or tests. It is the student’s
responsibility to make work up. In spite of these differences between high school and
college, they both serve the same purpose -- to prepare an individual for the real world.
Although new and modern houses offer many conveniences, most old houses feature
craftsmanship that is not found in the average house built today. Houses constructed
sixty years ago or more were built with top quality materials, resulting in very strong
and handsome structures. For example, the walls were made at least three times thicker

9. than walls in a new home, and full cut timber beams were used to support the frame,
floors, and roof. Also it was common for floors and woodwork to be made of fine wood,
usually oak or maple. Average houses of today are erected in a very short time with the
use of prefabricated materials which do not produce a very sound structure. In addition
to being better built, older houses seem to have much more ornamentation and character
in their design, inside and out, than new houses. Many old homes feature large, ornate
fireplaces, beautiful wooden stair cases, archways, alcoves, and stained glass windows.
This kind of detailed ornamentation is in sharp contrast to the very plain and squared
“ranch style” lay-out of newer homes. Because of all the fine qualities older houses
offer, they would often be worth ten times their value if they were located out of the
city. However, home buyers today generally prefer new homes because of their
suburban locations. Even so, urban areas are making every attempt to save these
excellently crafted old houses and improve their locations.
