THE TOWN IS SHOCKED OVER DEATH OF MR. DUKE
ReplyDeleteMr. Duke, the prominent public figure of our Town has passed away yesterday due to acute cardiac arrest. Mr. Duke is a well known real estate business man, who is prudent and a generous person. He bestowed a 100million$ to the Methodist Hospital, for cancer treatments and research. Early this year, Mr. Duke underwent kidney transplantation from an anonymous donor of his family. Even though initially he was doing well, recently he suffered fever and doctors suspected it to be sepsis, and were apprehensive about his condition. Inspite of best treatment with antibiotics, the recipient kidneys did not improve, and overall there was less improvement. The inter medical team, planned for a re transplantation of his diseased kidney and postponed it till he gets stabilized. Unfortunately, He had a massive cardiac arrest and inspite of best resuscitative efforts, he was declared dead. The Town has lost the famous public figure and it is a great loss for the society.

The biggest issue we have today is that you did not follow instructions. You had to talk about someone that passed away. When you talk about a different topic, I am unsure if you were the one who wrote it, or if you copied it from another assignment. In the future, I will not accept work that does not answer the topic/prompt of the assignment.
As for the vocabulary words, the only 2 that were not used correctly were “recipient” and “donor”. You had a few fragment errors. We will learn about those soon. Total: 91 %

As for the assignment it self, you only have two periods. This means, you only have 2 sentences. You also have several comma splice errors. It makes it hard to read and understand your logic. As for the vocabulary words, you did not use “recipient” or “bestow” correctly. I also don’t know what you mean by “milliner”.

Mr. Fredrickson, as you may know, is one of the best-known members of our town's community. This former municipal president always helps in the town fairs, donating his money to charitable causes and being a good friend, husband, and family man.
That is why today we regret the passing of our great friend Mr. Fredrickson; he was prudent in speaking and communicating with people, never arrogant, and always trying to help the people of his town, as he called it.
We just want to thank him with these words for all the help he gave us, hoping he has eternal rest in the afterlife.
Words: Donating, prudent, arrogant.

You also need to make sure you write 5 complete sentences. You did not use the word “recipient” correctly. You put it in parenthesis. I was confused as to why you did this. However, you did use “receiving” correctly. Finally, the word “apprehensive” was not used correctly. This is the adjective. For it to fit in your sentence, you would have to use the noun form.

The assignment was not to talk about someone that was retiring. You had to talk about someone that died. In the future, paragraphs that do not follow the instructions will not be accepted.
You also wrote “donoring”, which is not a word. You should have used “donating” or “donated”. The word “recipient” was also not used correctly. In the future, I suggest you use more than 3 vocabulary words, to increase your chances of getting at least 3 of them correct. Total: 70 %
