From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.
She wondered if the water vas not_________hot for drinking.
Detalhes da Resposta
The word that best completes the sentence is "too." The sentence is questioning whether the water is excessively hot for drinking. The word "too" means excessively or to an excessive extent, and it fits well in the context of the sentence. Therefore, the most appropriate option to complete the sentence is "too." The other options, "very," "so," and "much," do not fit as well in the context of the sentence. "Very" means to a high degree, but it is not the best fit in this case because it does not convey the excessive nature of the hotness of the water. "So" is a conjunction that connects ideas or clauses and is not suitable for use as an adverb to describe the degree of hotness of the water. "Much" means to a great extent, which is not the best fit in this case because it does not convey the excessive nature of the hotness of the water either.

Choose the most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....77.....] above
Detalhes da Resposta
The most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....77.....] is "permit." In the context of the passage, the missing word is referring to the fact that some drivers never had a learner's permit when they were learning to drive. A learner's permit is a document that permits an individual to learn how to drive with an experienced driver. Out of the given options, "permit" is the most appropriate word that fits the context of the sentence. "Clearance" and "authority" are not appropriate because they suggest permission to do something more general or official, whereas a learner's permit specifically allows someone to learn how to drive. "Order" is also not appropriate because it implies a directive or command, rather than permission to learn how to drive. Therefore, the correct answer is "permit."

Detalhes da Resposta
The sentence is a negative statement, so the best option to complete it is a question tag that affirms the negative. The only option that fulfills this requirement is "is he." Therefore, the correct answer is "is he." The complete sentence is: "He isn't coming here, is he?" The question tag "is he" affirms the negative statement "He isn't coming here" by turning it into a question.

Choose the most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....73.....] above
Detalhes da Resposta
The most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....73.....] above is "inspected." The passage is discussing the reasons for terrible accidents on roads and how drivers' ignorance, combined with other factors, contributes to these accidents. One of these factors is the state of the vehicles that ply our roads. The passage mentions that vehicles are supposed to be tested annually before certificates are issued, but many vehicles are issued certificates even when they have not been properly inspected. Therefore, it makes the most sense to use the word "inspected" in the gap to suggest that the vehicles are checked thoroughly for any faults or issues that could make them unsafe to drive on the roads. The other options, "scrutinised," "appraised," and "considered," do not fit as well in the context of the passage. "Scrutinised" means to examine or inspect something closely, which is similar to "inspected," but it is not the best fit in this case because the passage is specifically discussing the need for regular inspections of vehicles. "Appraised" means to assess the value of something, which is not relevant to the context of the passage. "Considered" means to think carefully about something, which does not fit well in the context of the sentence either.

From the words lettered A to D, choose the word that best completes each of the following sentences.
The defeated boxer left the ring looking extremely_________
Detalhes da Resposta
The correct option is "dejected" because it is the most appropriate word to describe the emotional state of a defeated boxer who has just left the ring. "Dejected" means feeling sad, disappointed, or low in spirits. It is a common word used to describe people who have lost or failed in some way, which makes it suitable for the context of the sentence. The word "dislocated" (option A) means something that has been moved out of its proper place or position, usually referring to a body part. It does not fit the context of the sentence. The word "distorted" (option B) means something that has been twisted or changed from its original shape, often in a negative way. While it could be used to describe the physical appearance of the boxer, it does not capture his emotional state. The word "desert" (option C) means to abandon or leave someone or something. It does not fit the context of the sentence since it does not describe the boxer's emotional state. Therefore, "dejected" (option D) is the best word that completes the sentence.

Pergunta 9 Relatório
Choose the interpretation that is most appropriate for each sentence.

Detalhes da Resposta
The phrase "marked by her children with pomp" implies that the old woman's birthday was celebrated with grandeur and showiness. Therefore, the most appropriate interpretation of the sentence is "greatly celebrated." To celebrate something with pomp means to do so with great ceremony and display. It often involves a lot of decorations, music, food, and speeches. Therefore, we can infer that the old woman's children made a big effort to make her birthday a memorable and special occasion. So, the sentence "The old woman's birthday was marked by her children with pomp" means that her birthday was greatly celebrated with a lot of fanfare and pageantry.

The correct answer is "away". To give something away means to reveal or disclose it to someone else.

It would have been my pleasure to accept your invitation but I have to ________ it because of a previous engagement.
Detalhes da Resposta
The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "accept" and that will, at the same time, correctly fill the gap in the sentence is "decline". "Decline" means to refuse or say no to an offer, while "accept" means to agree to take part in something. So, if you have to decline an invitation because of a previous engagement, it means that you cannot attend the event because you already have another commitment.

Detalhes da Resposta
The word that contains the sound represented by the phonetic symbol /u:/ is "grew" (option B). The symbol /u:/ represents the long "u" sound, which is pronounced as a close back rounded vowel. This sound is heard in the word "grew" but not in the other options. In option A, "work" contains the phonetic symbol /ɜː/ which represents a different sound, the "er" sound, as heard in words like "her" or "bird". In option C, "teeth" contains the phonetic symbol /i:/ which represents the "ee" sound. And in option D, "bull" contains the phonetic symbol /ʊ/ which represents a different sound, the "uh" sound as heard in "put" or "full".

Detalhes da Resposta
The interpretation that is most appropriate for the sentence "People do not often rely on men who allow their exalted position to go to their head." is "are conceited because of their position." In this context, the phrase "go to their head" is an idiomatic expression that means to make someone feel overly confident or arrogant. If a man allows his exalted position to go to his head, it means that he has become conceited or arrogant because of his high status. The sentence says that people do not often rely on such men, which means that people do not trust or depend on men who are conceited because of their position. This does not necessarily mean that people shun those who are highly placed, rude because of their position, or do not do their work, only that they do not rely on men who are conceited because of their position.

The word that is most nearly opposite in meaning to "acquitted" is "convicted". The other options, "remanded", "detained", and "interdicted", all have negative connotations and suggest some form of punishment or confinement, which does not fit the context of the sentence.

From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.
I realized that i________you before.
Detalhes da Resposta
The word that best completes the sentence is "had met." The sentence is in the past perfect tense, which means that it is referring to a past event that happened before another past event. The phrase "had met" is in the past perfect tense and indicates that the speaker had met the person before another past event occurred. Therefore, "had met" is the most appropriate option to complete the sentence. The other options, "met," "have met," and "meet," are not suitable for the sentence because they are not in the past perfect tense. "Met" is in the simple past tense, which means that it refers to a past event that happened at a specific time in the past but does not convey the meaning of having met before another past event. "Have met" is in the present perfect tense and refers to an action that began in the past and is still ongoing or relevant in the present, which is not appropriate for the context of the sentence. "Meet" is in the simple present tense and does not convey any past meaning. Therefore, "had met" is the most appropriate option to complete the sentence.

The word that is nearest in meaning to "satisfied" in the given sentence is "contented." "Satisfied" means feeling happy or pleased because something has happened or been achieved, and it implies a sense of fulfillment. In the context of the sentence, Bimbo is pleased with the outcome of something, and she feels contented with the result. The word "contented" suggests that Bimbo is satisfied with the result and feels a sense of peace or happiness. The other options may not convey the same meaning or may not fit the context of the sentence as well. For instance, "positive" and "surprised" could suggest a different type of emotion or attitude, while "appeased" suggests a sense of calming down rather than being satisfied with something.

In the following options lettered A to D, all the words except one have the same stress pattern. Identify the one with the different stress pattern.
Detalhes da Resposta
The word with a different stress pattern from the others is "legal" (option D). In English, stress is the emphasis placed on certain syllables in a word. The stress pattern of a word can help to distinguish it from other words and to convey meaning. In the three words "undo," "ado," and "unless" (options A to C), the stress falls on the first syllable. Specifically, the stress is on the "un" in "undo," the "a" in "ado," and the "un" in "unless." However, in "legal" (option D), the stress falls on the second syllable, specifically on the "gal" in "legal." This stress pattern is different from the other options, making "legal" the word with a different stress pattern.

Therefore, a spoilt child is usually likely to laziness or has a tendency towards laziness. Out of the given options, "to" is the most appropriate word that fits the context of the sentence. "For" and "with" are not appropriate because they don't convey the same meaning as "prone to" in this context.

The word that best completes the sentence is "almost." "Almost" means nearly, not quite, or just about, and is often used to describe a situation where something is very close to happening or being true. In this case, "almost everybody died" means that most people involved in the accident died, but there may have been some survivors. The other words presented, "hardly," "scarcely," and "barely," all imply that very few people survived the accident, which is not supported by the sentence.

Detalhes da Resposta
The word that best completes the sentence is "to." Therefore, the correct option is A. In this context, the sentence is indicating that the formula needs to be memorized. The preposition "to" indicates the direction of the action and is commonly used to express a goal, purpose, or intention. Therefore, the most appropriate word for the sentence is "to." The other options are not the best fit for the sentence because they do not have the same meaning as "to." "In" is used to indicate the location of something, "for" is used to indicate the purpose or benefit of an action, and "by" is used to indicate the means or method by which something is done. Therefore, the most appropriate word for the sentence is "to."

The correct stress in the word "overwhelming" is on the third syllable, "WHELM."

In this word, the third syllable is pronounced with greater stress than the other syllables, making the correct pronunciation "o-ver-WHELM-ing."
Pergunta 62 Relatório
choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word as it is used in the sentence.
The boy came through the window as stealthily as he could.
Detalhes da Resposta
The word that is nearest in meaning to "stealthily" in the given sentence is "quietly." "Stealthily" means to move or act in a secretive and cautious manner, trying not to be seen or heard. In the context of the sentence, the boy is attempting to enter the room through the window without drawing attention to himself. The word "quietly" suggests that the boy is moving in a way that doesn't make any noise, which is consistent with the idea of being stealthy. The other options may not convey the same meaning or may not fit the context of the sentence as well. For instance, "carefully" could suggest being cautious but not necessarily trying to avoid making noise, while "quickly" and "slowly" refer to speed, which may not be relevant in this context.

We got to the hall after the płay________started.
Detalhes da Resposta
The word that best completes the sentence is "had". The sentence is written in the past tense, which suggests that the action being described (getting to the hall) occurred before the time of speaking or another event in the past. The word "after" also suggests that the action of the play starting occurred before the speaker arrived at the hall. The correct form of the past perfect tense is "had + past participle." Therefore, "had" is the correct word to use to indicate that the play had already started before the speaker and others arrived at the hall. The other options "is," "have," and "was" are not correct because they do not agree with the past tense of the sentence. "Is" is in the present tense, "have" is in the present perfect tense, and "was" is in the simple past tense, none of which convey the intended meaning in this sentence.

The phrase that best completes the sentence "We do not accept the punishment__________the boy." is "meted out to." In this sentence, the verb "meted" means to distribute or impose a punishment. The preposition "out" is used to indicate the distribution of something, in this case the punishment. The preposition "to" is used to indicate the recipient of the punishment. Therefore, the phrase "meted out to" is the most appropriate to complete the sentence, as it correctly expresses the idea of distributing the punishment to the boy. The other phrases in the group do not fit in this context as well as "meted out to."

Detalhes da Resposta
The most appropriate option for the gap labelled [....79.....] above is "limit." The sentence talks about the ignorance of some drivers who have no knowledge of road rules, which means they are not aware of what speed limit means. Speed limit refers to the maximum legal speed at which a vehicle is allowed to travel on a particular road or highway. The other options - distance, control, and mileage - do not fit in the context of the sentence. Distance refers to the amount of space between two points, control refers to the power to influence or direct someone or something, and mileage refers to the number of miles traveled by a vehicle per unit of fuel consumed. Hence, the correct option to fill the gap is "limit."

While the refuse dump smelled fetid, the orchard exuded a_______Smell.

The underlined word "fetid" means having a strong, unpleasant smell. To choose the word that is most nearly opposite in meaning, we need to look for a word that means having a pleasant or sweet smell. The word that fits this description is "fragrant." Therefore, the correct option to fill the gap is "fragrant." To simplify it, the sentence contrasts the unpleasant smell of the refuse dump with the pleasant smell of the orchard. "Fetid" means unpleasant, so we need to choose a word that means pleasant or sweet. "Fragrant" is the best option as it means having a pleasant or sweet smell, which makes it the opposite of "fetid."

The phrase "at the drop of a hat" is an idiom which means "without any hesitation or delay." Therefore, the sentence means that if you ask him to sing, he will do it immediately without any hesitation or delay.

Detalhes da Resposta
The correct option is "travel sickness" because it is the term used to describe the feeling of nausea and vomiting that some people experience while travelling. This condition is caused by motion or movement and is often associated with car, plane, or boat travel. The word "travelling sickness" (option B) is incorrect because it uses the present participle form of the verb "travel" instead of the noun "travel." The word "travel sicknesses" (option C) is incorrect because it uses the plural form "sicknesses" instead of the singular "sickness." The phrase "traveller sickness" (option D) is incorrect because it uses the wrong form of the word "traveler" and it also does not reflect the standard term used to describe the condition. Therefore, "travel sickness" (option A) is the best word choice to complete the sentence.

"Booed" means to express disapproval or disagreement by making loud sounds with your voice, usually at a public performance or speech.

The word that best completes the sentence is "to." The sentence states that power has not been restored, and the preposition "to" is used to indicate a destination or a direction of an action. The sentence is saying that power has not been restored to many parts of the town, meaning that the power is still not available in those areas. Using "in" would indicate a location within something, "of" would indicate a relationship of belonging or association, and "with" would indicate a relationship of accompaniment or accompaniment. None of these options accurately convey the intended meaning of the sentence.

__________ are often quite caring.
Detalhes da Resposta
The correct option is "mothers-in-law" because it is the plural form of "mother-in-law," which refers to the mother of one's spouse. The sentence suggests that people who hold this title (mothers-in-law) are often quite caring. The word "mothers-in-laws" (option C) is incorrect because it uses the plural form "laws" instead of "law." Meanwhile, "mother-in-law" (option A) and "mother-in-laws" (option B) are both singular forms, which do not agree with the subject-verb agreement of the sentence. Therefore, the plural form "mothers-in-law" (option D) is the most appropriate choice.

The appropriate word to fill the gap and also serve as the opposite in meaning to the underlined word is "inexperienced". The sentence contrasts the expectations for older people and youths, suggesting that they have different levels of experience. The underlined word implies that older people are expected to have more experience than younger people. Therefore, the opposite of "experienced" would be a word indicating a lack of experience, such as "inexperienced". The other options, "cautious", "equipped", and "considerate", do not serve as the opposite of "experienced" and do not fit the context of the sentence.

Detalhes da Resposta
The correct option that is most nearly opposite in meaning to the underlined word "fictitious" and will correctly fill the gap in the sentence is "factual." "Fictitious" means something that is not true or false, while "factual" means something that is based on facts or reality.

The son's account should be based on reality or facts and not be made up, so "factual" is the correct answer. Therefore, the completed sentence would read, "John gave a fictitious account of the incident but his son's account was factual." meaning the son's account was based on facts or reality.

The best word to complete the sentence is "should she." The sentence is in the negative form, stating that Mary should not have disobeyed the teacher. When using negative sentences, we usually use tag questions to confirm or emphasize the negative statement. Tag questions are short questions added to the end of a sentence. The tag question for negative sentences is usually the opposite of the statement, so we use positive tag questions for negative statements. Therefore, the correct tag question for this sentence would be "should she," making the complete sentence "Mary shouldn't have disobeyed the teacher, should she?" The other options do not fit the context of the sentence, making "should she" the correct answer.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.
My mother never thought it necessary to inform any of her children that she would pay them a visit in Lagos at any time. After all, no child would refuse her entry into their home. She had always been lucky to meet a member of the household each time she came Visiting and it was unimaginable to her that a day would come when no one would de at home to receive her.
In her usual manner, Mama boarded a vehicle from the village at noon with all her luggage which usually comprised the local delicacies we all enjoyed eating whenever she came visiting Since she was aware of the time of the day everyone would be back home from work, she was not worried when the bus made frequent stops to either pick up or discharge passengers. while the journey lasted, Mama chatted heartily with a fellow passenger who was also going to See her son in Lagos and the two exchanged telephone numbers.
Eventually, the vehicle crawled to a final stop and everyone alighted. Mama flagged down a taxi and headed for her daughters' house. Although the fare demanded by the driver, was outrageous and the money on her could not cover it. Mama believed that when she got to the house, her daughter or son-in-law would come to her aid by making up the difference.
How wrong she was! Unknown to Mama, my husband and I had traveled out of town on one of our numerous official assignments while my son had returned to the university campus, The only person on the premises was the new watchman. Mama s dilemma, however, began with the payment of the taxi fare. When she alighted with some of her luggage, she met the cold unfriendly stare of a complete stranger. She tried frantically to introduce herself to the watchman but could not communicate effectively because of the language barrier. To her embarrassment, the taxi driver called her a fraudulent old woman, left his contact number, and drove off in annoyance with one of her bags.
Mama remembered that the woman with whom she had traveled on the bus had given her her phone number and she decided to call her for help. After what seemed like an eternity, the woman's son drove in his car to fetch Mama.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.
There are gifts of nature without which human survival on Earth is impossible. Some of these gifts include water, oxygen and the forest. The last is of particular interest. Forests occupy a vast landmass and are found in many parts of the World. They are uncultivated lands thickly covered with trees. Forests have played a significant role in the Survival of humans, Unfortunately, thousands of hectares are destroyed each year due to human activities. It is, however, becoming increasingly obvious that if appropriate steps are not taken to curb the wave of forest destruction, the future Survival of humans i? hanging in the balance. This realization is fueling the campaign to preserve this wonderful gift of nature.
Forests are more important to humans than humans are to them. Forest trees serve as a protection against erosion Without the canopy provided by trees, the land will be exposed to all the elements such as strong winds and heavy rainfall The strong winds blow the soil while running water washes away the top soil with its nutrients, Thus, the most fertile land becomes barren. Wood from trees also serves as an important material in building construction. It is cut and .processed for use in building houses and shelters which provide protection against the inclement weather. With this, the forest shields both humans and the Earth. It is therefore important to ensure the continued availability of this important natural resource. To this end, there is the need for the relevant authorities to enact laws that will mandate tree planting to replace felled ones. Where such laws already exist, efforts must be made to enforce compliance.
The inventiveness of humans has led to the discovery of another use for forest trees. Logs can be cut, chopped into pieces, ground by machines and turned into wood pulp which then goes through some other processes and paper is the end product. We can imagine the great things timber does when we look at the tons of books that are produced and read Worldwide. Thanks to technology, it is now possible to operate a paperless society to some extent. Everyone must therefore continue to make a conscious effort to protect the forest by going paperless. Soft copies of books should be preferred to hard copies. More newspaper publishers now have online outlets where news items are published. Hence, Subscription to these outlets will ensure, a reduction in the demand for paper.
Forests feed the earth, humans, and animals that live in them. Through the addition of humus and vegetable matter from dead leaves and droppings of animals, the soil is replenished with mulch, minerals, and manure, which are much better than fertilizers. Humans also get food from the nutrient-packed plants and animals of the forest and even use them for medicinal purposes. Thus. governments must discourage the cultivation of forest as farmlands by creating forest reserves. Such reserves should be protected by law to prevent encroachment. This will ensure unfettered growth of trees, and ultimately, the survival of humans.
(a) In three sentences, one for each, state three benefits derived from forests.
(b) In three sentences, one for each, state three measures to control deforestation.
(a)
i) Forests provide protection against erosion
ii) Serve as a source of building materials
iii) Contribute to the growth of plants and animals that are important for human survival and medicinal purposes.
(b) Measures to control deforestation include the enactment and enforcement of laws mandating tree planting to replace felled ones, the promotion of a paperless society to reduce demand for paper made from trees, and the creation of forest reserves that are protected by law to prevent encroachment and ensure the unfettered growth of trees.

Promoting Good Reading Habits in Students: The Key to Unlocking a World of Opportunities
Reading is a fundamental skill that opens doors to a world of knowledge and opportunities. It is a vital tool that helps students develop critical thinking skills, expand their vocabulary, and improve their writing and comprehension abilities. As such, promoting good reading habits in students should be a priority for educators, parents, and the wider community.
One of the main benefits of promoting good reading habits in students is that it helps to improve their overall academic performance. Students who read regularly tend to have better grades and perform better on standardized tests. They also have a wider knowledge base and are better equipped to tackle complex problems and concepts.
Reading also has the power to boost students' self-esteem and confidence. When students are exposed to a variety of books, they are able to develop a love for reading and build their own personal interests. This can lead to increased confidence and a sense of accomplishment, which can carry over into other areas of their life.
Good reading habits can also help students develop empathy and a sense of understanding. When students read books about characters and experiences that are different from their own, they are exposed to new perspectives and ideas. This can broaden their understanding of the world and help them become more tolerant and accepting of others.
In order to promote good reading habits in students, it is important to provide them with access to a variety of books and encourage them to read regularly. This can be achieved through programs such as school libraries, book clubs, and reading incentives. Parents and educators can also play an important role by modeling good reading habits and setting aside time each day for students to read.
In conclusion, promoting good reading habits in students is crucial for their academic, personal, and social development. By providing students with access to books and encouraging them to read regularly, we can help them unlock a world of opportunities and prepare them for a successful future.

A new Principal has been posted to your school. Write a speech you will deliver at the welcome party organised for him informing him about some problems faced by students.
Dear Sir/Madam,
On behalf of the entire student body, I welcome you to our school. We are very happy to have you as our new principal and we are confident that you will bring positive changes to our school.
However, I would like to bring to your attention some of the problems that we, as students, have been facing. Firstly, the school facilities are inadequate and in dire need of upgrading. The library is poorly equipped, and the laboratory equipment is outdated. The classrooms are overcrowded, and some of them are in a state of disrepair.
Secondly, there is a need for better communication between the administration and the students. We often do not receive important information on time, and this has led to confusion and frustration among the students.
Lastly, we are facing some disciplinary issues among students. Some students are involved in bullying and other forms of misbehavior, which affects the overall learning environment of the school.
We hope that under your leadership, these issues will be addressed and resolved. We believe that you will take the necessary steps to improve the facilities, enhance communication, and maintain discipline in the school. We are looking forward to working with you towards achieving our academic goals and making our school a better place.
Once again, welcome to our school, and we wish you all the best in your tenure as our principal.
Thank you.

On behalf of the entire student body, I welcome you to our school. We are very happy to have you as our new principal and we are confident that you will bring positive changes to our school.
However, I would like to bring to your attention some of the problems that we, as students, have been facing. Firstly, the school facilities are inadequate and in dire need of upgrading. The library is poorly equipped, and the laboratory equipment is outdated. The classrooms are overcrowded, and some of them are in a state of disrepair.
Secondly, there is a need for better communication between the administration and the students. We often do not receive important information on time, and this has led to confusion and frustration among the students.
Lastly, we are facing some disciplinary issues among students. Some students are involved in bullying and other forms of misbehavior, which affects the overall learning environment of the school.
We hope that under your leadership, these issues will be addressed and resolved. We believe that you will take the necessary steps to improve the facilities, enhance communication, and maintain discipline in the school. We are looking forward to working with you towards achieving our academic goals and making our school a better place.
Once again, welcome to our school, and we wish you all the best in your tenure as our principal.
Thank you.

As the Senior Prefect of your school, write a letter to the Principal pointing out at least two practices among students that should be discouraged and two habits that should be promoted among teachers.
Dear Principal,
As the Senior Prefect of our school, I would like to bring to your attention some practices among students that should be discouraged and some habits that should be promoted among teachers.
Firstly, it has come to my attention that some students have been engaging in the use of mobile phones during class hours. This habit is not only distracting to the user but also to other students in the class. It hinders their learning and concentration, and can also lead to disciplinary issues. Therefore, I suggest that students should not be allowed to use mobile phones during class hours.
Secondly, it has also been noticed that some students are not taking good care of the school's facilities. Some of them have been writing on walls, desks, and chairs, and also littering the compound with waste materials. This not only creates an unsightly environment but also shows a lack of respect for the school's property. Therefore, I recommend that students should be educated on the importance of proper maintenance of the school's facilities.
On the other hand, there are some habits that I believe should be promoted among teachers. Firstly, teachers should encourage students to participate in extracurricular activities, such as sports and clubs. These activities not only help to develop the students' talents and interests but also promote teamwork and a sense of community among them.
Secondly, it is important for teachers to create a conducive learning environment in the classroom. This can be achieved by maintaining a positive attitude, treating students with respect, and being approachable to them. Such an environment helps students to feel comfortable and motivated to learn.
In conclusion, I hope that my suggestions will be taken into consideration in order to foster a better learning environment for all. Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
Senior Prefect.

Write a story that ends with the statement: I had never felt so embarrassed in my life.
Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Sarah who loved to sing. She had a beautiful voice and dreamed of becoming a famous singer one day. So, when she heard about a local singing competition, she jumped at the opportunity to showcase her talent.
Sarah practiced every day and put all of her heart and soul into her performance. On the day of the competition, she felt confident and ready to shine. When it was her turn to sing, she took a deep breath and began to sing her heart out.
However, just as she hit the high note in her song, a loud sneeze escaped from the audience. Sarah was so startled that she lost her focus and forgot the lyrics to the rest of the song. She stumbled through the rest of the performance, her voice cracking and wavering.
When the performance was over, Sarah was horrified to see that everyone in the audience was laughing and pointing at her. She felt so embarrassed and ashamed that she ran off the stage and out of the building. She didn't stop running until she reached the safety of her home.
For the next few days, Sarah was too embarrassed to leave her house. She was sure that everyone in town was laughing at her and talking about her disastrous performance. But eventually, she mustered up the courage to face the world again.
As she walked down the street, she was surprised to see people smiling and waving at her. A woman approached her and told her how much she had enjoyed her performance, despite the sneeze and the forgotten lyrics. Sarah was shocked to hear this and couldn't believe that someone had actually liked her performance.
From that day forward, Sarah realized that it didn't matter what others thought of her. She was proud of herself for having the courage to follow her dreams and perform in front of a large audience. And although she was still embarrassed about what had happened, she was grateful for the experience and the lesson it taught her.
"I had never felt so embarrassed in my life, but I learned that the most important thing was to be true to myself and follow my passions, regardless of what others may think."
