Suggested Answer
-This paragraph describes how a steam turbine generator works.(0.5point)
-First, water is heated to extremely high temperatures until the water is converted into
steam. (1point)
-Second, steam energy is used to rotate blades of a turbine to create mechanical energy.
(1.5 points)
-After that, an exhaust pipe releases pollutants. (1point)
-Then the steam from the water in a boiler is pumped into a steam turbine and the steam
energy spins the turbine blades.(1.5 points)
-Next, as the turbine blades spin, a generator spins and creates electricity.(1.5 points)
-Following this step, the steam passes through and is cooled by a cooling tower. (1.5
points)
-Finally, the cooling tower releases lower energy and cooled steam into the atmosphere
and remaining water is pumped back into a boiler.(1.5 points)

Write a paragraph defining and classifying a credit card.

A credit card is a small plastic card whose holder can buy goods and
services and can pay for them later. A credit card can be divided into two
main types: a standard credit card and a rewards credit card. A standard
credit card is a credit card which is the most common type of credit cards. It
is available from most banks and financial groups and for which the way
the annual percentage rate is offered or calculated for the credit card can vary.
A rewards credit card is a credit card with which users earn incentives for
making purchases with the credit card. It has an annual fee which can
increase every year. A standard credit card can be further classified into two
types: a balance transfer credit card and a low interest credit card. A balance
transfer credit card is a standard credit card which allows consumers to
transfer a high interest balance onto a credit card with low interest rates. A
low interest credit card is a standard credit card which is very interesting
because it allows several months to a year to pay it off. A rewards credit card
can be further classified into two types: a cash back credit card and a general
reward points credit card. A cash back credit card is a rewards credit card
which is designed for people who regularly pay off their balances each
month. A general reward points credit card is a rewards credit card on
which cardholders can earn points on the rewards credit card.

Opinions

In the beginning humanity was equal to zero, nothing but rocks, animals and no
civilization. What made them change, what made them develop? Drugs. Besides their great
11
benefits, whether drugs are doing more damage than good is the question you have to weigh
your decision on.
A great number of advantages would come with the usage of drugs. One main point
in favor would be that medicine will develop at such a level, never imagined before. It has been
proven that marijuana causes people to have less pain and headaches. Things such as LSD or
other hallucinogens make a simple chemical reaction in our body that might awaken parts
which are asleep in our brain. Although policy makers have used prohibition as a smoke
screen to avoid addressing the social and economic factors that lead people to use drugs, illegal
and legal drug use is recreational and makes people happier. Poverty and despair are at the
root of most problematic drug use and it is only by addressing these underlying causes that we
can hope to significantly decrease the number of problematic users.
However, there are also drugs like heroin, which are very addictive and harmful. Every
drug should therefore be looked at separately. Legalizing one drug does not mean we have to
legalize all drugs. I expect that with legalization of the relatively safe drugs people will less
easily be seduced by highly addictive, harmful drugs. In addition, if you have health
problems, you should use drugs because those health problems are more serious than other
side effects of the drugs. For example, you have Ventolin that helps people with
bronchospasms (lungs problem) but the disadvantage of Ventolin is a bad influence on heart
and vessels. People use it to cure their lung problems, but in the meantime it creates another
problem.
