Rewrite the following conversation between a teenage boy and his mother so that it sounds natural to you. Make sure that you beg

in a new paragraph each time the speaker changes.
"I absolutely, positively do not want to go to that commencement ceremony, Mother. Brenda's graduation is of no significance to me. Why, he'll talk on and on about what a great class this is and what hopes he has for their future. It's a drag, Mother," Tommy said. "You must go, Tommy, dear," Mother returned. "Brenda will be all torn up if you don't."

<span>"I really do not want to go to that ceremony, Mom. Brenda's graduation doesn't matter to me. People talk too much. "It's pointless," Tommy said.

Answer:

I don't really want to go to that graduation ceremony, Mom. I don't care about Brenda's graduation at all. He won't stop repeating what a great class they were and that they have a great future to go. It's annoying, Mom. - Tommy said-

You've got to go, Tommy. - Mom said - Brenda will be sad if you don't go.

Explanation:

The original conversation shows the use of more formal vocabulary and structure, in the provided answer some of the words and expressions were changed by more popular ones without going to the full opposite by presenting a totally informal conversation all covered with slang words.

Popular words are considered "natural" in spoken English.

Answer:

The correct answer is Great care was taken to keep the truth from the public.

Explanation:

The ambulance members were trying not to be seen by any person when they were going to the monkey house. That's why they wore camouflaged suits, and no member of the ambulance wore the suit they should be wearing.

They even parked in the backyard of the house to avoid being seen.

All this is evidence that they wanted to hide the truth from the public.

I believe this is the correct answer:
<span><em>So before a battle begins, the horses paw the ground; toss their heads; the light shines on their flanks; their necks curve. So Peter Walsh and Clarissa, sitting side by side on the blue sofa, challenged each other. 

</em>I would choose that particular paragraphs because the metaphor is slightly unusual there - two kids, Clarissa and Peter Walsh (when they were young) are being compared to horses, which is not really a common occurrence. <em>

<span><span>elp them see what you see. You might be focusing on yourself when creating messages about your business, thinking that everyone sees things the way you do. But they don’t. People won’t “hear” you, or pay attention, until they perceive what you perceive. So you’ve got to make your position crystal clear — help them to see what you see, using storytelling, description, personal experiences, case histories, and anything that will put the prospect in the right position to understand your message.</span><span>Make it personal. When you make your writing personal, you make it important. Personally interesting or perceptually meaningful information can grab attention, bring clarity, and help it slip right into your prospective client’s awareness. You don’t have to do a lot of explaining to tell someone his house (or his hair) is on fire — because it’s so personal to him. You immediately get attention.</span><span>Use emotion. Emotion is a great way to bring clarity to your business messages while making them personal. Emotion also comes with the triple bonus of adding clarity, giving clients a reason to talk about you and your business, and triggering the circuits in the brain that activate behavior and decisions — emotion is much better at that than logic is. Emotional messages get attention.</span><span>Don’t take chances with attention </span></span>
