The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England, people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most English men will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o’clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.

List at least five details that might used to develop the given topic sentence.

Directions:

Part One Here are two papers about two different people. Read them through and then do a brief comparative analysis.

Your analysis of Paper One and Paper Two.

Which of the two papers seems to you a more effective paper about a person?

Paper Two.

Why do you believe the paper you chosen is better?

Paper Two has more specific detail and is therefore more vivid and interesting.

3. What makes the less effective paper poorer?

Paper One contains very few specific details if any.

Part Two Write a composition about the benefits of sports and games in three paragraphs. The first sentence of each paragraph is written for you.

Sports and games are good for our healthWhat’s more, they make our life richer and more colorful…Sports and games are also very useful in character-training..

Sports and games are good for our health. They can make us strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. Especially they can be of great value to people who work with their brains most of the day, for sports and games give people valuable practice in exercising the body.

What’s more, they make our life richer and more colorful. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, just as the saying goes. So persons of all ages enjoy watching and taking part in various kinds of sports----track and field, swimming, skating, volleyball, basketball, football, etc.

Sports and games are also very useful in character-training. They demand not only physical skill and strength but also courage, enthusiasm, discipline and usually team work. For boys and girls, what is learned in the playground often has a deep effect on football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his won benefit.
