Dear School Board Members, Our principal, Mr. Terry, recently informed the student body that the school board will be voting whether or not to ban skateboards from school property due to safety concerns. Please do not do this. This is a position many students would agree with. I know several of my friends ride their skateboards to school because they do not own bikes. Walking would take them too much time. If you take away their ability to ride their skateboards to and from school, it will make getting to school much harder. They will have to wake up earlier for school, which will make them more tired and less able to concentrate in their classes. For example, take my friend Barry. His parents leave before the sun rises to go to work, which is way before the school opens. He relies on his skateboard to get him to and from school every day.
The school claims skateboarding is dangerous. However, it is actually a fairly safe activity according to a 2010 article in Medical Trauma Magazine. They found that skateboarders had 9 injuries per 1,000 skateboarders. The article also notes that there are 12 injuries per 1,000 bicyclers. Football has over double the amount of injuries as skateboarding. In comparison, skateboarding is much safer; yet, we have a football team at school and have many kids who ride bikes to school. Please do not ban skateboards in our school district.

Sincerely,

Marko DeSpeer, 7th grade

what's the topic we have to write about?

it would be b.) because if you process of elimination and when mr.white pulls the monkey it’s the action of the whole story

explanation:

being judged by your physical appearance, gender, age or race has been a problem for many people around the world. we all have experienced segregation or rejection at some moment in our life. i   am not the exception. i am an overweight latin girl, two characteristics that do not me very much in a bullying society. i am an excellent student, speak beside my native language – spanish, english and i am currently studying portuguese. once there was a job opening for an international company. i was the perfect candidate for the position. i fulfilled all the requirements to get the job. yes, because of my   curriculum i was called for an interview. the same day, other candidates were appointed too.   i simply said to myself: this is for you, no one else is as prepared as you are, besides, you are smart, honest, responsible and reliable.

the recruiter called me, it was a middle age man, demanding looking one. as soon as he saw me entering the room he looked at me and said: “i am sorry, you are not the type of person we are looking for. it is for the reception and we need someone with different physical appearance”  

i felt like if a train had run over me. i felt miserable. he didn´t even asked me a question nor check on my skills! a pretty face and a perfect body was just as perfect for the position.

when i got home i cried for a long time until my tears dried from my being, then i told myself:   you are who you are, no one can tell you that you are not good enough because of your physical appearance. your intelligence will last forever! bodies age, faces disappear, but you   will always be
