Energy in Food-Evaluation
Having executed an inconclusive investigation in which food samples were unsuccessfully combusted to produce heat in order to raise the temperature of a body of water, there is an array of evaluative remarks to be made.
Firstly, the fact that some food samples proved difficult to ignite and only produced a small flame meant that not all the heat energy from the combustion was transferred to the water; hence, the stored chemical energy in the foodstuffs was not fully released. This made it impossible to obtain an accurate estimation of the energy in the food samples.
((indented paragraph beneath the former)) The release of energy from the food sample through combustion allows energy to escape into the surrounding body of air, air movement and saturation effect the amount of energy lost. The vertical distance between the test tube and the combusting food sample should also be taken into consideration and be kept consistent as it influences the amount of heat energy that is transferred to the test tube.
Additionally, the fact that the food samples were of different sizes meant that the surface area to volume of the different food samples was inconsistent. Therefore, the rate of combustion among the selection of samples differed greatly. The faster the rate of combustion, the quicker the rise in the thermometer reading of the water; however, this does not correlate to the food having a high energy content. Some foods may burn slower and for a longer time, yielding lower temperature increases because of the slower rate of combustion, even though they actually have more stored energy; therefore, the experiment with the employed methodology was inaccurate.
In investigations of a similar nature, I would suggest that the food samples to be ground down with the use of pestle and mortar or electronic blender to ensure a consistent, small size of food particulates and keep similar the rate of combustion and energy release to yield more reliable results in the future.

Writing Feedback / GRE Argument: "Palean baskets" archeologists discovery [2]
Another possible argument as thatAdditionally, although the travelling across the river may not have been easily achievablemight be as rare as thought, the transfer of basket manufacturing skills and techniquesismay still have been possible. The Travelers mightcould have learnedadapted the specific patterns and integrated them into their baskets,evolved thespreading basket weaving furthermethods . The fact may be explained wellThis could be proven if such an evolution of design and patterns is seen in the baskets and other woven items in the region .
Since Archaeology is a science on unearthing the past; yet, manyhowever several truths might still remain hidden. Hence We should remain open to the possibilityies that certain evidencesmay be flawed, these may becomehave loopholes which might be more visible if contradictory evidences appears . In this case, Palean baskets were not Palean because they were found near the village but because they were yet not found anywhere far away.
The piece lacks clarity and structure. I have attempted to rectify the grammatical errors, of which there were a significant amount.
I suggest that to extend the piece you elaborate more on the already mentioned aspects, for example: saying how the remains of riverboats may have disintegrated over time based on environmental factors, etc.
I hope this helps, should you chose to adapt my alterations. Good luck!
The previous archaeological assumptions seem to present a constricted view.Only because the characteristic pattern has been found in the vicinity areas previouslyThe observance of a certain phenomenon in an area does not mean it is restricted to that area. Furthermore, in ancient times people used to trade their goods in exchange of food. Also , and fishing was anrather important food source; hence,there must have been significantthe interaction between these across-the- river villages must be frequent .
In order to properly analyse the argument, we must first and foremost need to understand the frequency and nature of the interaction between the two communities. The absence of 'Palean' boats sodoes not provide sufficient evidence that there was no interaction between the people of Palea and of Lithos. The ancient boats mightmay have withered over time, or sunk or . Also, the Paleans might have been usingused boats other than those we identify as 'Palean' boats. Furthermore, there may have been more Lithosians travelling to Palea than otherwisevice vera . Thus the travel might have been more frequent than previously thought.
The woven baskets with the Palean patterns may still be of Palean origin and were perhaps traded with people of other villages including Lithos. Again, the boat travel through boatscancould have beenbe possible due to previously explained reasons. Futhermore, there is a chance that via fishing, the two villages might have interacted more hence increasing the exchange of goods.

Writing Feedback / "water car" - If I could invent something new [4]
First of allFirstly , it is apparent that cars play an important role in our everyday lifelives . Cars have become the essential piece of our day-to-day conveyance. Going to work, doing groceries or just transportingtraveling from one place to another are just a few examples of how we use this kind ofefficient method of transportation. In the place Where I live, public transportation is a bad choice to travel from one place to otherinconvenient;thereforehence, private cars are widelythe use of automobiles as a personal way to transport are very used. I dare to say We depend of this kind of transportationon cars ; we depend of itstheir comfort and itstheir privacy.
Secondly, in additionAdditionally,cars play an important role in our everyday life, the increased use of cars havehas resulted in the increase of air pollution. This Consequently,results in thethere has been an increase of respiratory deceases as well as the lost of healthy ecosystemsdamage to the natural environment . The importance of air pollution is high throughout the world and people try to find a way to reduce this. In this manner a "water car" would be a precursor of this important trend.Throughout the world, experts continue to attempt to reduce the impacts of carbon emissions, and I believe the 'water car' is a viable solution.
Lastly, beyond the importance of cars in our everyday life and also the fact that the increase use of cars have resulted in the increase of air pollution,Furthermore, I strongly believe that 'water cars' would be an importantrevolutionary innovation difficult to resist, this due to the fact thatbecause water is deeplysignificantly cheaper than any fossil fuelsare . In a beginningInitially, water cars may be more expensive to manufacture;yet, in the long run they will save costsbut it will be an important investment for our life, Just image how cheap will it would be to travel from one place to another using this kind of transportationbeing powered by water .
To sum up,In summation, I strongly believe thissuch an invention willwould be a turning point in the way we seefor transportation, this will bringwith itself a lot ofbrining many benefits for ourto society,such as the reduction in market product's cost and the encourage of touristic places (this due to it will be cheaper to travel from one place to other)reducing traveling costs and carbon emissions in the future .

The beginning of an invention begins alwayssimply by dreaming about it, and personally I have many dreams. Generally speaking, if I could invent something new, it would be something that would make an impact in our society; I would invent a car whichthat uses directly water as its fuel (let's call it "water car"),instead ofas opposed to fossil fuels such aslike gasoline or natural gas. I name this remarkable invention; 'the water car'.I explain below some arguments to defend this stance.I will further elaborate on how such a concept would benefit society:

In closingIn summation, teen alcohol-fuelled violence is a problem that affects all those in its wake. Many families have been left with no son, brother, husband or friend. The community haveSociety has been motivated to change this, but none have come up with an affective solution. An increase in time spent in jail will not help meet our aim, and not prevent teens from throwing the punch in the first place, which is our aim. A larger police presence of police is unreasonable due to the vast amount of money needed to see it fulfilled. Let's dare tous listen to our teens and see that they have great ideas. By educating children from a young age, they will learn that being drunk isn't cool and live by this principle through their entire lives, hopefully teaching others this principle as well. My Mary has decided to become an ambassador for FARE (Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education) she hopes to be able to teach young children about alcohol abuse. I'm very proud of Mary. Will you be proud of your child? Teach them the right way to drink and you will be helping create the change we need in society today .
Please reconsider your use of only male family members as it affects both genders, this may also increase effect on the audience.
Please note that "the community have" is grammatically incorrect; the communit(y) refers to a single body and not multiple bodies, hence the singular indicative is used (it is referring to one thing) //the community has//
I would like to remind you that the use of the phrase "let's dare" is not exactly appropriate in this scenario, although it may have been incorporated to sarcastically show that your idea is effective and simple, its use still suggests that is is not very proper and has been unfinished; I hope my suggestion clearly eradicates the sarcasm and makes your piece more emotionally touching.
I have not had an abundance of time to evaluate the entire speech comprehensively, but I hope that my alternations assist you, should you choose to adapt them.
I hope this helps: I am only in year 9...haha. And good luck!
I have continued...
Firstly, I want to talk aboutwish to discuss how tougherstricter legislations may seem like great plan but won'twill not work in action. Proposed, stricterTougher legislations will mean that those found guilty of throwing the 'King Hit' will have a minimum sentence of eight years in prison. Also,and those found guilty of alcohol-fuelled assaults will have minimum penalties increased by two years. The reason why we have prison is for three main purposes:
2. To rehabilitate those in prison, so they become law-abiding citizens.
3. To deterthose people maywho consider breaking the Law, and prevent them from actually committing the crime.
3. To deter
By suppodedly increasing the minimum prison sentence it is hoping to employ the third reason for prisonsin an effort to lower crime , deterring people from committing crime. By implementing this theywe are hoping that a highly intoxicated youth is expectinggoing to remember the time they will spend in prison for the punch they are mindlessly about to throw. Wait a second, how is that supposed to work? The man who killed Nicholas was so drunk that they found him a couple of blocks down the road asleep in his own vomit; not remembering throwing the punch. In such as state,How is hecan we expectedhim to think about the possible jail time he will spend for punching someone?
Secondly, let me talk aboutelaborate on another suggestion proposed;: increasing police presence on our streets. When Mary called the police, to report the fight in the pub arrived they arrived in under a few minuets, but still we are calling for prevention not a cure.It is clear that the response was very efficient,some people call for prevention and believe we need to stop the fight before it even starts. as people are still getting hurt or killed
