Mio's Moment

I noticed the thinly hidden concern on my mother's face as I began my final practice for my first tea ceremony. A short wave of uncertainty washed over me as I considered the possibility of disappointing my mother and guests. My mother's words began to crowd my thoughts and replay over in my mind like a repeated song as she would always say, "Mio, always remember the chawa and each tool must be handled with exquisite care as it is not just a tea bowl, it has been in our family for generations and is the most vital part of the ceremony. Be graceful, gracious, pleasant, and careful with each movement." Being reminded of her words and how I had seen her handle each tool as a delicate and priceless treasure reminded me of the importance of this chance to be part of the tradition my family has followed in Japan for many years.
My thoughts briefly drifted back three years earlier when mother began to prepare me to be involved in a formal ceremony. She taught me the significance of each part of the ceremony and how to perfect each hand movement. Going through the movements in my mind, I realized, I was ready for this day. Many years of preparation had brought me here, and I should be filled with pride.
With the soothing smell of matcha moving through the room, I stood up a little taller and smoothed out my kimono, and gave my mother a nod. My brother Soto sat quietly on the tatami mat watching intently. I gave him a slight smile as we began.

a 1 min speech on modern day slavery

Answers

Answer:

We believe that everyone in every place has the right to a life free from slavery. But now, in every country in the world, thousands of children and adults are trapped in slavery. Including yours.

Modern slavery is the serious exploitation of others for personal or commercial purposes. Modern slavery is everywhere around us, but it is often invisible. People may be trapped in making clothes, providing food, harvesting crops, working in factories or working as cooks, cleaners or nanny in the house.

From the outside, it looks like it is working properly. But people are controlled – they may face violence or threats, be forced to take on inevitable debts, or be deprived of their passports and threatened with deportation. Many people fall into this oppressive trap simply because they are trying to get rid of poverty or insecurity, improve their lives and support their families. Now they cannot leave.

essay of helping someone

Answers

Answer:

Hi there, hope you're doing well~!

Here's your essay (kind of) about helping someone:

When you help someone you need to have specific "tools" with you. The tools  will help you get appreciation and pride. The tools are:

KindnessSmileHave small talk while helping

These tools might sound silly, but when you're in the situation, you'll find that it's not.

Let's use these tools to help Ally and Mark whom are on a hike:

Ally and Mike decide to go on a hike because of the beautiful weather.

They get their lunch ready with other hiking essentials. As they start to walk, they see other hikers getting ready for their hike, stretching, making sure they didn't forget anything, and tying their shoelaces. Few hours later they start walking, but suddenly Mark loses the hiking map caused by the strong wind.    

They start to panic, and without cell phone service they'd be on the hike for days, only with a ham and bacon sandwich. But fortunately, they see a group of hikers with heart warming smiles. Ally take the chance and asks for directions; Ally was shocked when the hikers smiled and asked if she and Mark wan to join them.

This is exactly what helping someone means.

The word "romanticism" has little to do with the popular idea of romance. Romanticism is a movement in literature and the arts. It began in early nineteenth century Europe. Nature is the primary focus in romanticism. Another key element of this movement was imagination. Romanticism was also about the freedom to express personal emotion. Most importantly, it allowed poets and artists to create without following the strict rules of form.

The organizational structure used in this passage is
A.
classification because it lists movements in poetry and the arts.
B.

Explanation:

'The Necklace' is a lighthearted parody with a powerful message. It is absurd for regular people to try to imitate the wealthy. It is important to live within one's means. Otherwise, he or she invites needless difficulties, fears, and confusion into his or her life. The story's key lesson is that we should be who we are. False pride is the source of our woes.

Reread the statements at the beginning of the proclamation starting with "Whereas." How do these statements serve to set up the principles that follow?

Answers

This question is about "Declaration of the Rights of the Child"

Answer:

The "Agreement" statement serves to show how the principles of children's rights were based on documents that promote the well-being of human beings in general, and the enforcement of human rights as a way of promoting quality of life.

Explanation:

The declaration of children's rights is an essential document to promote the well-being and the implementation of human rights to promote a full and good life for children. These rights allow protection for children, which was not previously defended in any document, causing people to be punished if they promote malaise, torture or do not allow children to have access to fundamental and indispensable rights for growth in a civilized society.

This document was based and executed considering existing documents that promote the right of adult human beings.

People learn to read in two different ways. Some people learn to read by using phonics. Phonics teaches people to sound out words as they read. Other people learn to read by using the whole language method. They learn to read by listening to others read and by writing out their thoughts so that they learn how sentences are put together.

What organizational structure does this paragraph use?
A.
inductive/deductive
B.
compare/contrast
C.
cause/effect
D.
chronological order

Answers

I believe the answer is B. Compare/contrast

In the paragraph, phonics and whole language method are compared. Phonics are people sounding out words as they read, meanwhile the whole language method learns to read by listening to others read & writing out their thoughts. In that way, they are contrasted. However, they are both learning techniques use for reading, so in that way, they are compared.
