Good day everybody! Cervantes Students activity !

Hello guys this is a short homework where you need to translate into English the following Anne Frank quotation.

“Women should be respected as well! Generally speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why shouldn't women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, martyrs are revered, but how many people look upon women too as soldiers?...Women, who struggle and suffer pain to ensure the continuation of the human race, make much tougher and more courageous soldiers than all those big-mouthed freedom-fighting heroes put together!” ― Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl

Prefix, Root Word, and Suffix Study Sheet
Name: _________________________________________ Date: _______________

A prefix is a word part with a specific meaning at the beginning of a word.
A suffix is a word part with a specific meaning at the end of a word.
A root word is the main part of a word that contains its core meaning. Sometimes it is a word on its own, as in unbelievable (believe is the root word), and sometimes it cannot stand alone, as in relocation (loc is the root word). In either case, prefixes and suffixes can be added to root words, which might change either the meaning of the word (reactivate, deactivate) or its grammatical function (transports = present tense, transported = past tense, transportation = noun). Sometimes spelling changes when suffixes are added to root words (noise, noisy).

Learning root words, prefixes, and suffixes can help you because:
• If you recognize these word parts, it is easier to figure out what a word you don’t know means.
• They can help you to spell words because you’ll remember patterns.

Instructions: As you read this paragraph, underline all words that have prefixes or suffixes. Write them below the paragraph and then write a definition of the word. If you do not know the definition, use the Make-a-Word Game Chart to help you guess.

The Garbage Problem
Improper garbage disposal can cause contamination of subterranean water sources. Relocating garbage dumps doesn’t necessarily solve this incredibly unhealthful problem. Laws preceding the discovery of this problem were predictably relaxed in terms of garbage disposal. Since the discovery, authorities have proceeded to toughen these laws and have injected funds into reevaluating ongoing practices. Interjection of environmental organizations has helped to convince an incredulous public of the depth of the problem and the need to recycle. Some garbage dumps have receded in size, but most have increased as the unbelievable amount of garbage produced continues to multiply unnecessarily.
