Read the rough-draft paragraph.

studies support the claim that volunteering on a regular basis actually benefits one’s general physical health. depending on the needs of an organization, many volunteer opportunities can involve physical movement. volunteers at a local soup kitchen may, for example, find themselves unloading truckloads of donated supplies. other research related to volunteering and staying healthy found that volunteers often experienced decreased chronic pain and fewer symptoms of heart disease. of course, not all volunteer positions involve physical exertion. tasks involving minimal movement, such as answering phones, filing papers, and/or addressing envelopes, should be combined with some type of physical activity. using the stairs instead of an elevator or walking to work instead of driving are examples of easy ways to integrate exercise into a daily routine.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
