1-The path was too narrow for a car.

2a- “paradise”

3-She goes by Catilin and we first hear about her when she is striding ahead on
her walks and is far ahead of her daughter. She also has a distant relationship with
the dog as she would call him names despite him doing no wrong. She also
“collects” her husband which may show she can have some authority and
responsibility over him. It is also apparent that she is a fast walker and has to slow
down for her husband. Overall, she seems careless and athletic as a person.

The writer creates interest in her childhood by painting a descriptive and specific
picture of the house. This is illustrated when the writer states “of the path to our
new home, called the Boat House. It looked heavenly: a place to explore, to run
around, where we would be living forever. It had balconies, stepped gardens, a
large boat shed and a wall protecting us from the wilds of the friendly estuary
beyond. We had fallen upon paradise.” The writer uses key adjectives such as
“Heavenly”, “Large” and “Friendly” which all give us the idea of the looks, feels
and size of the home. The writer also states that it has balconies, stepped gardens,
a shed and an estuary showing that there are many places “to explore, to run
around” Which depicts that the writer is excited about living in their new home
and felt that they were truly at the right place. This interests the reader to
continue to explore the house through the text alongside the writer.

The writer also creates interest by sharing her relationship and interactions with
her father. This is apparent when the writer states “My mother had to slow down
as usual to walk with my father, me trailing at the rear. It was a five-minute walk
home. “Come on,” urged my parents, half-way along the cliff walk.” The writer
uses a quote to show an interaction when her father encourages her to pick up
the pace and walk faster with them. Despite this, they both fall behind the mother
whose Olympic-level skills are too much for them to cope with. Another similarity
between the writer and her father is their gratefulness for the house. This is made
clearer when the writer states “. We had fallen upon paradise. As we were settling
in, my father wrote to Margaret Taylor, who had arranged for the place, that, “this
is it: the place, the house, the workroom, the time,” and that he could never thank
her enough.” The writer uses repetition “The” in “the place, the house, the
workroom, the time” to show how he labels his house and its uses. The writer also
mentions that her father insisted on thanking her as much as he could and he felt
that it would never be enough. The writer is also shown to be grateful when she
stays “We had fallen upon paradise” to show her feelings. Labeling the house as
paradise and “heavenly” shows that she sees the house as perfection and
wouldn’t change a thing. This engages the reader to try and find more similarities
between the father and his daughter and interests the reader into analyzing their
bond and their relationship in the writer’s childhood.

The writer creates interest by immediately mentioning statistics. This is made


clearer when the writer states “already 150,000 people are dying every year
because of climate change and, within 50 years, one-third of all land-based
species could face extinction. If we carry on the way we are now, by 2100 the
planet will likely be hotter than it’s been at any point in the past two million years”
The writer uses logos to provide accurate evidence proving that climate change
has had a negative impact on the world. This makes the reader feel fear and guilt
for their inaction of not preventing climate change and the writer states that it will
reach its worst in 2100 which encourages the reader to begin to delay or even
prevent this from happening. This interests the reader to acquire more knowledge
about the subject and how to prevent in in a section named “what can you do”
The writer uses a rhetorical question to attract the reader to a section which
provides the reader with the information they need. Therefore, the reader will
continue to read and take action in the fight against climate change.

Dear Government Of Qatar,

I wrote this letter as I have come up with an idea to make Qatar a brighter and
greener place for its citizens. It is clear that trees and parks have been added to
the more populated areas but I believe a step in the better direction would also be
spreading the trees and parks throughout the desert area of Qatar.
The contrast between the greener places in Qatar and the parks shows a huge
difference. Which is why I believe improving the environment is about improving
everything, even if it’s a small improvement it can make a difference. Instead of
focusing on one area. I encourage you to focus on the other part of Qatar. The
larger part of Qatar. The cleaner part of Qatar. The neighborly part of Qatar. I
currently live in al khor and I feel as if I’m stranded in a desert when there is a
park just 45 minutes away.

I strongly believe take this into consideration and improve our already great
country.
Kind regards,
Jassim AL-Emadi
