I am going to descripe 3 examples from the first exercises:
1- Parallelism
It means you have to make the sentence balanced and have the same weight especially between these word ( and , or, but).
ex.1 A tsunami can also result from a large explosion or when a volcano erupts.
ex.2 A tsunami can also result from a large explosion or a volcano eruption.
So, the first example is not balanced because after OR he uses verb and it should be noun, but in the second he uses noun before and after OR
2-Active and passive verbs
Active verbs form more efficient and more powerful sentences than passive verbs
ex.1 I throw the ball.
The subject of an active sentence performs the action of the verb
ex.2 The ball is thrown by me.
The subject of a passive sentence is still the main character of the sentence, but something else performs the action.
3-Mixed construction
It is a sentence that starts with one grammatical form and ends with another.
ex.1 The name of the song called "words unspoken".
In this sentence we don't need the word "called"
ex.2 The name of the song is " words unspoken"
So you notice that we change the word " called" to "is"

Jin Xin- Story of the Box
This was an interesting story for me. He had a dream that travels would bring wealth. First of all people would love this because people are attractive to wealth and see wealth in monetary terms. This story is about a dream that told a person that travels would bring wealth to this person. After all of his travels and experiences he came to find out the real meaning of wealth. This to me is a great story. I am sure that he explained it well and I appreciate the real story of wealth.
Chris Osby- A wierd Day
This is a fairly short story that talks about voodoo and this is something that I am not familiar with but it sparked an interest. This story starts off with alot of chaos and displays of a person that had plans and was very disorganized with thier traveling plans. I am not sure how the voodoo plays into affect of peoples lives or exactly what it means but this story seems to be interesting.
Khalid Alotaibi- Story In a Box
This story I think is well written and also makes me curious about not only the story but the life that may be in this story. Being on a voyage and having a captain in charge of the voyage would be an interisting experience. I am curious to know what the anitient pictures are of and also what the antient tools that are used in this story. This story make me intererested in not only the time of the story but what happens then and what will happen.
