The Railway Children

By Edith Nesbit

Chapter I, The Beginning of Things

They were not railway children to begin with. I don't suppose they had ever thought about railways except as a means of getting to Maskelyne and Cook's, the Pantomime, Zoological Gardens, and Madame Tussaud's. They were just ordinary suburban children, and they lived with their Father and Mother in an ordinary red-brick-fronted villa, with coloured glass in the front door, a tiled passage that was called a hall, a bath-room with hot and cold water, electric bells, French windows, and a good deal of white paint, and 'every modern convenience', as the house-agents say.
There were three of them. Roberta was the eldest. Of course, Mothers never have favourites, but if their Mother HAD had a favourite, it might have been Roberta. Next came Peter, who wished to be an Engineer when he grew up; and the youngest was Phyllis, who meant extremely well.
Mother did not spend all her time in paying dull calls to dull ladies, and sitting dully at home waiting for dull ladies to pay calls to her. She was almost always there, ready to play with the children, and read to them, and help them to do their home-lessons. Besides this she used to write stories for them while they were at school, and read them aloud after tea, and she always made up funny pieces of poetry for their birthdays and for other great occasions, such as the christening of the new kittens, or the refurnishing of the doll's house, or the time when they were getting over the mumps.
These three lucky children always had everything they needed: pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely nursery with heaps of toys, and a Mother Goose wall-paper. They had a kind and merry nursemaid, and a dog who was called James, and who was their very own. They also had a Father who was just perfect—never cross, never unjust, and always ready for a game—at least, if at any time he was NOT ready, he always had an excellent reason for it, and explained the reason to the children so interestingly and funnily that they felt sure he couldn't help himself.
You will think that they ought to have been very happy. And so they were, but they did not know HOW happy till the pretty life in the Red Villa was over and done with, and they had to live a very different life indeed.
The dreadful change came quite suddenly.

What details in this text help the reader understand that the setting of this story is in the past and is not in the present or in the future? NOTE: This question is referring to the events taking place in a different time period (in the past) as opposed to being written in past tense.

I would like for someone to explain to me what I have to do

or

just write the first 2 sentences :)

Answers

Answer 1
For the prompt, you have to explain how the passage is in past tense. In the last paragraph, you can tell it is in pass tense because it uses the words like “were” and “had” represent the time. If this was written in future tense, you would see words like “will” to represent future time. And lastly, this is not in present tense because the main character/ narrator would be telling the story as it goes. If there is not narrator then we would be able to tell if the tense was present if the main character was currently telling this is first, second, or third point of view. I really hope this helps you!!

how the Paralympics classification system keeps things fair??

Millions of people are expected to watch the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro over 11 days this September. Chances are you will see a swimmer with one leg on the blocks next to another swimmer with two legs and two arms. So how that can be fair?

The secret is a process called classification.

Classification underlies all Paralympic sport, yet the concept – and its practical application – is possibly the greatest barrier to the broader community’s understanding of the Paralympics.

Classification is the process of allocating athletes into classes so that they compete against others whose impairment affects them to a similar degree in their sport.

Who can compete?

The Paralympics are for athletes with a physical, intellectual or visual impairment.

But not every person with a disability is eligible for the Paralympics, and not every athlete who is eligible for the Paralympics is eligible for every sport.

Some sports, such as athletics and swimming, have events for athletes with any impairment who meet a threshold disability requirement.

Other sports, such as 7-a-side football or goalball, are reserved for athletes with a specific form of impairment.

The first element of classification is to determine whether an athlete has an impairment that makes them eligible for a sport.

The rules for the Paralympic games are said to be unfair because they exclude those who are severely disabled.

Participating in the Paralympics Those who participate in an event have to have the same level of disability. If an event cannot produce enough players according to a specific criteria, it is cancelled.

The events that are usually cancelled are those belonging to those who are severely disabled. The reasons they are not usually high in number is because they require specialized transport and accommodation which can be quite expensive.

As a result, their chances of participating in the Paralympics are reduced which is unfair.

Changes need to be made so that even the most severely disabled are able to compete if they want to.

In conclusion, there should be a change to Paralympic rules as well as more funding and support.

Read the passage.History in the MakingThe December morning was cold and crisp as John Lee and his retriever Sampson turned toward the beach. Inhaling, John Lee let the smells and sounds wash over him. As he and Sampson crisscrossed the fields of sea oats and beach grasses, a cold, bitter wind gusted across the dunes. Pulling his jacket more tightly to him, John Lee clucked at Sampson, urging the lumbering black dog onward. Despite the cold, John Lee was determined not to miss a single, solitary moment of this dayhistory was in the making!As he and Sampson walked along the dunes, John Lee recalled that first meeting with the two brothers from Ohiothe Wright Brothers. John Lee had literally collided with Wilbur one day while chasing after Sampson. Then, his brother Orville wandered over to see what the commotion was about. John Lee was afraid that both he and Sampson were in for a scolding. Happily, Orville and Wilbur simply initiated a conversation, patiently answering the curious John Lees questions. John Lee had already heard some rumblings about the two; they were inventors, tinkering with some unique contraptiona flying machine. They had run a bicycle shop back in Ohio until they had become increasingly intrigued by anything and everything having to do with flight. They researched and studied and toyed with various experiments, and eventually had made their way to North Carolina to conduct trials with their flying machine. Everything about the brothers fascinated John Leefrom their flat Ohio accents to their conversations peppered with scientific jargonwords like velocity, atmospheric, and physics. For the first time, he could envision the existence of a world beyond Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.Jogging over a large dune, John Lee spotted the familiar outlines of the Wrights work shed and living quarters. Coming around the corner of the shed was Orville Wright; trailing behind him was his brother Wilbur, deep in conversation with one of the men who worked at the Kill Devil Hills Life-Saving Station, one of the many stations constructed along the coastline to assist sailors in need of help. The Wright brothers had chosen this area of the outer banks because of the constant wind needed provide a lift to their flying machine.John Lees gaze strayed toward a group of men placing a series of tracks down on the ground, watching as one man guided the others in the placement of the tracks. Today, the Wrights were conducting another trial with their flying machine. Three days earlier, Wilbur had successfully steered the machine, soaring above the ground for a total of three seconds. John Lee treasured that sightit was one of the most thrilling things he had ever witnessed. Now, he and Sampson watched as several men from the Life-Saving Service guided the flying machine out of its shed. John Lee could feel the excitement in the air, as if it were he that would be aboard that flying machine! The men guided the contraption to the edge of the tracks. John Lee had to remind himself not to hold his breath.Then, much to his surprise and delight, Wilbur came over and handed John Lee a watch, telling him he would be one of the timekeepers for the trials today. Orville strode over to the machine and then climbed aboard, positioning himself between the wings; the engine throbbed to life. To John Lee, it seemed as if everything was in slow motion as the flying machine glided across the tracks and then began to slowly ascend. For twelve glorious seconds, Orville was airborne. Dixon heard the other men whooping; applause filled the air.Then, all too soon, it was over. The flying machine skimmed back into the soft dune sands; the men cheered and clapped Orville on the back, while another man pumped Wilbur's arm so hard that it looked like he was trying to pump water. Sampson barked as if he understood that something very exciting had happened. John Lee was in a daze; it was turning out to be a most unexpected daya day he would never, ever forget.How does the second half of "History in the Making" contribute to the development of the theme that teamwork can make the impossible happen?by including information about the problems the Wrights overcame to make the first flightby describing how the weather conditions of the Outer Banks made it the ideal place to flyby mentioning the Wrights's kindness to John Lee and his dog Sampsonby explaining how it took many people to coordinate the first successful flight Which of the following verbs is not conjugated like ouvrir?
