46. The primary reason for writing anything is to
communicate with others to stimulate interest
or action from the reader. You may also use
writing to help you to reflect on your
experiences and learn from them. While at
University, a key way of assessing the progress
and learning of students is via the written
work you produce. When we write, therefore,
we are either writing for ourselves or for
others. When we write for ourselves, it helps
us to think, learn, and understand. Writing for
ourselves is a private affair though it may be
shared with others. When we write for others,
it is usually for assessment or publication.

life. First, Friday night, I had my best friend
over and we made a delicious, mouth-watering
pizza. After we ate, we had a friendly video
game competition. On Saturday, my dad took us
out on the boat. The weather was perfect and
the water was warm. It was a great day to go for
a swim. Later that night, we went to the movies.
We saw an action packed thriller and ate a lot of
popcorn. Finally, on Sunday, we rode our bikes
all over town. By the end of the day, my legs
were very tired. I only hope that next weekend
can be as fun as this one.

55. Pat Mora’s poem, “Echoes,” vividly describes the
meaning and mood of the poem by using sensory
images. At the beginning of the poem it was talking
about white wine and cool dresses which give you a
feel of upper class elegance. Yet when it went from
the white wine to the white uniform it changed the
class of the hostess and the maid. When it mentioned
that the maid’s smile wavered when the speaker
started to talk to her, it showed the level of
amazement that the maid felt. However, the end,
when it talks about hearing the cruel comment of
“just drop the cups and plates / on the grass,” it gave
the poem a feeling of darkness as the poem told how
the speaker stood in silence which describes her
contradicting feelings. Towards the end of the poem
the roar and flash help the reader envision the
speaker’s rage for the cruelty that is being calmed in
a racist society.
56. Expository Paragraph

information on a certain subject.
It may contain directions or might

writing that would use this kind of
paragraph.

and place all of the dirty dishes in
the kitchen sink. Now find a location
for each of the items you had placed
in the center of the room. For any
remaining items, see if you can squeeze
them in under your bed or stuff them into
the back of your closet. See, that was easy!

our sky meets the outer space solar

must be done. There is a coolness, a
calmness, when the sun does set.
