Many of the words found in the english language can be traced to other languages from countries throughout the world. you use many of these words each day, but you may not realize their origins. during a typical day, you encounter foods, objects, and other items that get their names from foreign languages. you most likely start your day in your bedroom, where you’ll find many objects whose names have foreign origins. you probably wake up each morning wearing a pair of pajamas, snuggled up under your duvet. the word duvet, which is a type of blanket, is french, and the word pajamas comes from a word in the hindi language. next, you groggily trudge over to your armoire—-a french word that describes a piece of furniture used to hold clothing—-and choose an outfit for the day. from the armoire, you might pull out a bolero, which is a spanish word for a short jacket. delicious smells come from the kitchen, where your dad prepares a breakfast burrito made with eggs, cheese, peppers, and beans, wrapped in a flour tortilla. the words burrito and tortilla are of spanish origin. although when you think of the word tortilla, you picture a round, flat bread, people living in spain have a different definition for the word. in spain, a tortilla is an egg dish similar to an omelet in france or a frittata in italy. how would this expository essay change in style and structure if it were transformed into a literary memoir? a) the essay would use a more formal and distant tone to make its points dispassionately. b) the essay would have a more informal tone and use personal examples to make its points. c) the essay would make a list of other people's personal experiences with learning new words in english. d) the essay would use more statistics and numerical evidence in chart form to support all its assertions.
