Try it:Our neighbors who have dogs need to remember the
town ordinance; dog waste must be picked up and disposed of by the owner. I know that owners occasionally forget to bring baggies with them when they walk their dogs. That’s why I’m proposing that the town install waste-disposal stands on various streets. These stands will have a supply of bags and a special container where dog owners can dispose of their pet’s waste.

Try itThe most important reason for teachers to use and discuss
technology in the classroom is because our children are exposed to it every day. More than ever, children are using social-media websites like Twitter and facebook to communicate with family members and friends. It’s important for children to understand both the benefits and the drawbacks of using such technology at an early age. Teachers can help children understand that Web sites are more than just places to chat with friends; they are powerful tools that should be used with care. Finally, its also helpful for kids to see how they can use technology for their own learning and creativity. There are many sites that help young people tap into their knowledge and interests in ways that they can take pride in and share with others.

Example:Learning a new language is like being a small child
all over again. You find yourself pointing at things, blurting out words, and hoping someone will understand. Meanwhile, people around you seem to be speaking a mile a minute, laughing with each other, but you have no idea what they’re saying. Frustrated that you can’t express yourself or join in the conversation, you may have the urge to ball up your hands into fists, and cry.

Repetition Used to emphasize a point or to add dramatic
effectEx:
So let us begin anew…remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate. Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.
--Kennedy’s inaugural address
