Read this excerpt from the time travelled by h. g. wells and then answer the question that follows:

“now i want you clearly to understand that this lever, being pressed over, sends the machine gliding into the future, and this other reverses the motion. i am going to press the lever, and off the machine will go. it will vanish, pass into future time, and disappear. have a good look at the thing. look at the table too, satisfy yourselves there is no trickery. i don’t want to waste this model, and then be told i’m a quack." there was a minutes pause perhaps. the psychologist seemed about to speak to me, but changed his mind. then the time traveler put forth his finger towards the lever. he sent forth the model time machine on its interminable voyage. we all saw the lever turn. i am absolutely certain there was no trickery. there was a breath of wind, and the lamp flame jumped. one of the candles on the mantle was blown out, and the little machine said only swung around, became indistinct, was seen as a ghost; and it was gone—vanished!

which of the following is an example of theme in this excerpt?

-time travel
-friends are enemies
-seeing is believing
-machinery

Your answer would be "seeing is believing." The scientist was only telling the character about what the time traveling machine could do, but needed to actually show the character that the machine wasn't a fraud by actually sending it through time.

as we know, the english language is spoken all over the world by native and non-native speakers and has become the most certain tool when it comes to communicating. businesses, schools, even romantic relationships depend on it to keep thriving. in addition, it is the language of the internet not only because most of the content available is in english, but also because people prefer to use it when talking to others, since it's the language everyone supposedly learns.

yet, there have been some current claims that chinese will soon take over as the most important language in the world. china's magnitude has never been more evident and doing business with the chinese is a gold mine for any country. we now see language schools offering chinese courses as commonly as english.

however - even though we cannot deny china's importance and the advantage it is when someone takes the time to learn the language their business contact speaks-, people in general seem to be ignoring the aspects that seem to keep english as the chosen one of languages. one of them has been mentioned above: it is the language of the internet. also, chinese people are still learning english, since it opens doors in communicating with practically everyone else, from every single country.

note: if this is not the sort of transition you need, let me know. : d

what were the pronouns? did it use i, me, and my? if so, it was first person. if it had pronouns like you and your it was second person point of view. if it used he, she, and they, it was 3rd person point of view.
