Passage 1 Questionable Competition

"I know I can win the stair race," thought Jared. "After all, I run to the bottom and climb back up at least three times a day!"

Being the youngest kid in the class was hard for Jared. He wanted to be like his peers, but only experience and time could elevate him to that esteem. He invested all of his energy on competing with everyone, hoping that maybe one day he would reign victoriously as champion. Barbi was the best dancer, Frank was the fastest typer, Elizabeth was the smartest girl in the class, and Kate was the most athletic. With so much talent, that left no room for poor Jared to shine. That is, until the stair race was established. At last, his time would come.

Passage 2

Winning Comes Easy

"It's going to be a busy day today," Kate said to herself as she looked over her agenda. "Helping the breakfast crew down at the nursing home, an important meeting with the principal, Ms. Phelps, and finally a quick stair race before heading back home."

Kate was so used to winning that she didn't put much thought or anticipation into competition anymore. It was essentially a known fact that if she was competing in an athletic competition, she was sure to win, especially today since her opponent was the youngest kid in the class. The stair race was no different. If something fluky happened, though, it would really matter because she was the longstanding winner of the school's field day, foot race, and even jump rope contest. Without another thought of the stair race, Kate rushed out the door to get her day started.

Answer from: Quest

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
