Have you ever tried to read while someone is watching videos with the volume on? Staff at the Green Street Public Library noticed this problem in the teen area: many students came to do homework, but they often left early because of noise. Some visitors also said they felt embarrassed to ask others to lower their voices.

To make the space more comfortable, the library is testing a “Silent Corner”. At the entrance, a sign explains the rule: no phone sound and no group chatting inside that corner. Anyone can use it by choosing a seat with a green sticker. If a visitor needs to take a call, they can step outside for a minute and return.

After two weeks, the staff will count how many people use the corner and will read short comments left in a box near the door. If the test works well, the library plans to create another quiet area on the next floor.

Analyze how the paragraphs work together. Identify the main function of the second paragraph in building the text’s overall message.

Why do some visitors leave a place saying, “I saw everything,” but remember almost nothing? Last month, the small Harbor Museum noticed many people walked fast through the rooms and skipped the short stories next to each object. Staff heard the same comment: “There is too much to read.”

So the museum tried a different idea: “Story Stops.” At each room entrance, visitors can pick one card with a color and a simple task, like “Find the oldest tool” or “Listen for one minute.” The cards point to only two objects per room, and the stories are shorter.

This weekend the museum is inviting families to test the cards for free. After the visit, volunteers will answer three questions about what they remember and what felt easy or hard.

Analyze the three paragraphs. How does paragraph 2 connect paragraph 1 to paragraph 3 in the text?

At the bus station, many people buy coffee in disposable cups and leave them on benches or near the trash bins. By the end of the morning, the floor is covered with lids, napkins, and empty cups. The station manager notices the problem and asks a local volunteer group for help.

The group places bright return boxes near the exits and puts simple signs above them: "Put your cup here after use." They also talk to commuters and show them where the boxes are. The idea is easy to follow, so more people join in.

After three weeks, the station looks cleaner, and the staff collects much less waste. Some passengers even remind others to use the return boxes. What started as a small change becomes a habit for many travelers.

Identify the paragraph that presents the action linking the problem at the start to the result at the end.

You read an online short story about a coastal festival that uses many sensory details. In 180–220 words, analyze how the author's use of sensory imagery (sight, sound, smell, touch, taste) builds the story's atmosphere and supports its cultural significance.

In the line 'The town emptied onto the square as if a cupboard had been turned inside out,' what does the simile suggest about the crowd's movement?

Imagine you hear a 90-second news interview with the city mayor describing a plan to open a technology hub next year. The mayor lists features: shared workspaces, start-up microgrants, evening coding workshops, and a target to host 30 start-ups in the first year. Prepare a 2-minute spoken summary that (1) explains the hub's main components and timeline, (2) makes two predictions about the hub's possible effects on local jobs and education using modal verbs (will/might/may), and (3) gives your recommendation on whether the project should be expanded, with reasons.

Read the short opinion below (about local activities). Then write a revised concluding paragraph (2–3 sentences, 40–60 words) that improves coherence by using at least one connector of addition, one of contrast, and one of conclusion.

Text:
"Our town park hosts many free activities for teenagers. However, attendance has fallen recently. Some argue the schedule is inconvenient for students who work after school. Others say the park lacks sufficient advertised events."

Write the new concluding paragraph.

When persuading readers who may disagree, which order of presenting arguments is most strategic in an English argumentative paragraph?
