1. If your teacher says to read it twice, if your group-mate says to shut up, if your friend says to cheat, you'd better follow your teacher's wishes rather than your friends. 4. Whether you think you are ugly or whether you think you are not smart, you should be always happy and enjoy your life. 5. The basketball coach shouted that the referee did not call the foul, that the other team's coach said unpleasing words to his team, and that his team should have won and receive the award. My own sentence: If I had gone to America, if I did not have to study, or if i had not been sick, then it would have been a better spring break.

Patterns 1-7:

Both paragraphs listed below incorporate the patterns studied thus far, however, one of them uses the structures more effectively.

1. Which would you say is better? Support your answer with specific instances from the text. - I would say that the first paragraph is better. For example, for the first sentence, the "really" does not fit in the right place. It makes it sound weirder than the first one. The second sentence that includes the colon is used in a right way for both paragraphs. However, the second paragraph's colon is used in a wrong way. The sentence is too long and descriptive that is not needed for the paragraph. Also, the colons that are used in the other places for the second paragraph is not used properly. For example, Her endpoint: Lincoln, Nebraska. The plum's endpoint: who knew." sounds very awkward. Also, the first paragraph used the semicolon very usefully for its last sentence that organizes the sentence format.

2. With the paragraph you decided wasn't as good as the other, then make at least two changes to that paragraph which would improve it.

Greening buds, patches of mud, scattered puddles, a birth of color -- spring was on its way. Noel always found this season to be the ripest: thoughts of change and potential circulated through her body. But what made this spring more anticipated than the last? Perhaps it was the knowledge that she was going to be moving back home at the end of the school year. Or perhaps it was the warming air or extra chatter at home or one of a million other things. Whatever it was, she knew this spring was special; it really was going to be a season of change.

Greening buds, patches of mud, scattered puddles, a birth of color -- spring really was on its way. Noel always found this season to be the ripest: knowing about the changes that would bring her a bond to the nature. She too would be plucked from her current home and shipped off to some far off place. Her endpoint: Lincoln, Nebraska. The plum's endpoint: who knew. It could have been Nebraska or Melbourne or Brittany or Johanesburg. But this was not the first time she had started over on some other side of the world, and it certainly wouldn't be the last. She had learned to look for the small beauties amidst these times of transition, and she knew these harbingers of spring would always find her no matter where she moved.
