Can someone plz make this essay better. maybe adding better words and checking grammar. pleeeaazzzz

The date was 12th march 2020.I was coming back from writing my end-of-term exams when my mom broke the news to me: “The first case of the corona virus has been identified here in Kenya; I don’t think there’ll be an exam tomorrow. The government has ordered a lockdown and we have to stay at home." At first, I didn’t take this seriously but little did I know that my whole life was about to go down the primrose path! I couldn’t go to school, I couldn't go to the mall - or anywhere else for that matter. Unfortunately, I wouldn't see my friends for a year and a half. About a week later, my parents received an email from school saying that we would attend online lessons from eight o’clock in the morning to three o’clock in the afternoon. At first, this was a scary experience as I had never been on a video call on the platform so there was no way of telling if my camera was on or off or if my microphone was muted or unmuted. After about a week or two of attending online lessons, I got more comfortable with it and soon got used to it. Also needed new equipment because my back started hurting and I got other types of illness. Ever since I started online school, I would be waiting for the day that the government would announce that the lockdown was over but they kept postponing it until the situation was more controllable. Weeks passed and we were still stuck at home with nothing to do. This was frustrating because I was used to getting up early and going to school. However, things were not so bad after all. I could wake up late now because I did not have to worry about changing into a school uniform or the time taken to travel from home to school and back. This also meant that I could have more leisure time because as soon as school was over I could finish all my work. I got used to it faster than everyone because I was especially good at ict. even though I was used to it now, there was a problem …boredom. I was just not used to sitting in front of a computer screen for long. I would feel itchy sitting on my chair and start moving around. My legs would hurt because of low blood circulation and I would also get “pins and needles” quite often. As time passed, I realized I was gaining weight and it was not healthy. Back when I used to go to school, I used to move a lot, which meant I was constantly burning fat but now I was stuck at home and could barely do anything. This was easily fixed when my dad bought a few gym equipment, which I could use to keep myself fit. Phone calls and FaceTime kept me connected with my friends. Even though it was not as good as meeting them in person, it was better than nothing. This kept going for about a year until finally, the government released the lock down and we met in school shortly after that. I will never forget this experience.

The date was March 12, 2020. I was returning after finishing my end-of-term examinations when my mother informed me, "The first case of the corona virus has been found here in Kenya; I don't believe there will be a test tomorrow." "The government has declared a state of emergency, and we must remain at home." I didn't take it seriously at first, but little did I realize that my entire life was about to take a turn for the worse! I couldn't go to school, the mall, or anywhere else. I wasn't going to see my friends for another year and a half.My parents received an email from school about a week later informing them that we would be attending online sessions beginning at 8:00 a.m. to 3 p.m. This was a stressful experience at first, since I had never been on a video call on the platform before, so I had no idea if my camera was turned on or off, or whether my microphone was muted or not. After a week or two of taking online sessions, I felt more at ease and quickly became accustomed to it. I also need new equipment since my back began to suffer and I became unwell in various ways. I'd been waiting for the day the government would declare that the lock down was lifted since I started online school, but they kept putting it off until the situation was more under control. We were still stranded at home with nothing to do after many weeks. This was readily remedied when my father purchased some gym equipment for me to use in order to stay fit. Phone calls and Face Time allowed me to stay in touch with my pals. It wasn't as wonderful as meeting them in person, but it was better than nothing. This went on for approximately a year until the government lifted the lock down and we all met in school shortly thereafter. This is an experience I will never forget.

Which sentence best supports the idea that tap water is healthier than bottled water?

B) Natural resources, however, are still used in manufacturing and distributing the bottled water.

No laws require bottling companies to provide testing results of bottled water, but research indicates that one in four bottles of water contains tap water.

Kites: Birds of Glory


As a rule, raptors, or birds of prey, are among the most admired and adored birds in the world. From the California condor to the snowy owl, few birds compare to the tigers of the air: the great hunters whose beauty and skill have inspired art and literature for centuries. The most glorious feathers of the peacock or the vibrant plumage of a bunting cannot compete with the power of a peregrine falcon or the determination of an osprey. Included in this group of hunters, however, is one bird of prey that is little known but equally impressive. The kites of the world are generally smaller than most raptors, but just as astonishing in skill and grace as any other hunter of the skies.


Most people think of paper or cloth structures flown with string from the ground when the word 'kite' is used. In addition to these popular toys, kite can also refer to a type of raptor. Kites have a small head, a short beak and long narrow wings and tail. Kites can be found all over the world in mostly warm regions. Kites live on a variety of prey—from insects to small rodents or reptiles. Some kites eat only one kind of prey. Kites are generally masterful in the air and represent a group of birds that are among the most acrobatic of fliers.


Two of the most familiar kites in the Southern United States are the swallow-tailed kite and the Mississippi kite. The Mississippi kite is rather plain to look at: a light brown and gray body with a buff or white colored head. But to watch a Mississippi kite fly is to watch a ballet in the air. These raptors eat primarily flying insects, so they do most of their hunting on the wing. As you might imagine, catching flying insects requires a great deal of agility and speed. If you are lucky enough to see one in flight, you will be amazed at the quick turns, graceful moves, and speedy pursuits of this bird. Look for them above large fields, especially during the summer.


The swallow-tailed kite, also common in the South, is more easily identifiable and often seen flying over roads. With black wings and tail, white head and body, and a forked or swallow-like tail, this raptor is just as acrobatic as the Mississippi kite. Swallow-tailed kites like flying over highways in the summer as they can take advantage of the thermals, or columns of warmed air, that rise above the pavement. Once they have climbed to sufficient height, swallow-tails will glide, looking for snakes and reptiles and insects. They also eat small rodents, frogs, and other birds on occasion. Watching a swallow-tail fly is a lot like watching a gymnast perform a floor routine. Rarely flapping its wings, it uses its forked tail to make sharp turns, trace circles in the sky, or simply maintain a heading. Skilled, accomplished, and graceful, this bird is as entertaining as it is beautiful.


Both kites are known to eat while flying, unlike most other birds of prey. This practice conserves energy and allows them to hunt almost continuously. While these kites are not listed as endangered, they are rare and in some states are listed as critical. Loss of habitat is the main reason for the decline. If you are lucky enough to see one, count yourself among the few. These magnificent birds are a sight you won't soon forget.

What can be inferred about Lily from this passage?

Lily had a talent for getting into trouble. Her parents were always scolding her for doing things she shouldn’t do. She loved to play in the woods behind her house. However, her father warned her to not stay in the woods after dark. He told Lily tales of dangerous animals that roamed the woods in the night. Being a curious child, Lily did not pay attention to her father’s wise words.

One evening after dinner, Lily sneaked out of the house and went exploring in the dark woods. Armed with a flashlight, Lily was determined to see for herself these scary creatures her father described. She had never been in the woods at night. It was a strange place indeed. The sounds were unfamiliar to her. Suddenly, she heard a low growling sound. It sounded similar to the sound her dog, Toby, made when he was angry. Slowly, she scanned the woods with her flashlight. She saw a pair of glowing eyes that seemed to be coming closer to her. Lily became frightened. Forgetting her exploration, she ran home as fast as she could. Once out of the woods, Lily calmed herself down. She realized that her father was right. It was too dangerous to be in the woods after dark. Lily learned that being stubborn isn’t always a good thing.

A.
She likes to play with wild animals.
B.
She sometimes disobeys her parents’ rules.
C.
She isn’t afraid of walking at night.
D.
She doesn’t like stories about wild animals.
E.

Let me know what you think of this tweaked rap?
Holidays, Birthdays, I can’t even see you on my worst days, and even thou you gave me my worst days I’m still missing something I can’t replace. I can’t call my dad for advice, he gave me none of his time. I don’t even know what that feels like and I only seen him when he got high and I only talk to him when I called. I’m just hoping that he might see this one day when he’s scrolling through his timeline and maybe then he might try. So used to this feeling that now when I think about it I don’t even cry and now that I’m older, my bloods getting colder cause I see through all the lies. Now wake up. Why couldn’t you just wake up? And take care of your kids cause you made us. You put us through so much that it changed us. All of that love it was fake huh? All of them drugs was your thing huh? I see that and you were stuck on it. Every single day gotta rush on it and you was feeding, kept wanting more of it. Forgot about us for some pills and needles. All of them drugs they made you so evil. Told you to stop that you didn’t need em but you was attached and just couldn’t leave em. With all of that said. I don’t care no more. Now you can just keep em. I’mma let it go, I’m telling you now I’mma let it go, all of these feelings gon stay and float, but I’m telling you now I’mma let it go.
