While reading a magazine you came across some addresses of children from the United States desirous of having pen-friends in India. You decided to write to Cody Stewart as your interests are quite similar. As Preeti Sinha of B-97/5, Model Town, Patna, compose a letter describing yourself to your new pen-friend in around 120 words.

Dear Cody Stewart.

I would like to start this letter by showing how excited I am to start this journey of friendship with you. I believe we have a lot to talk about with each other and I'm sure this will be a very enriching cultural experience for both of us.

But I believe that to make this friendship official, we must introduce ourselves. I'm going to start and know that I'm already looking forward to seeing your presentation.

My name is Preeti Sinha and I live in Patna with my brother, mother, father and two kittens (I hope you like cats). We are a very happy family despite some challenges that we have been through, but we are very privileged to have each other and to live well.

I am the older sister of the family and I always try to keep the example, being studious and obeying my parents as much as possible. I am very interested in English literature and I hope you will give me some recommendations from books and authors. I also like sciences a lot, but they are not good with numbers.

I like to spend my book time watching shows and movies, as I am not much of a homemaker and I love dancing. I hope we can watch movies together one day and comment on the whole plot.

I hope to receive your reply soon.

Best regards,

Preeti Sinha.

This excerpt provides information about the Roman Empire. Which sentence in the excerpt speaks about the purpose of the text?
The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
by Edward Gibbon (excerpt)

In the second century of the Christian era, the empire of Rome comprehended the fairest part of the earth, and the most civilized portion of mankind. The frontiers of that extensive monarchy were guarded by ancient renown and disciplined valor. The gentle but powerful influence of laws and manners had gradually cemented the union of the provinces. Their peaceful inhabitants enjoyed and abused the advantages of wealth and luxury. The image of a free constitution was preserved with decent reverence: the Roman senate appeared to possess the sovereign authority, and devolved on the emperors all the executive powers of government. During a happy period of more than fourscore years, the public administration was conducted by the virtue and abilities of Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, and the two Antonines. It is the design of this, and of the two succeeding chapters, to describe the prosperous condition of their empire; and after wards, from the death of Marcus Antoninus, to deduce the most important circumstances of its decline and fall; a revolution which will ever be remembered, and is still felt by the nations of the earth.

The principal conquests of the Romans were achieved under the republic; and the emperors, for the most part, were satisfied with preserving those dominions which had been acquired by the policy of the senate, the active emulations of the consuls, and the martial enthusiasm of the people. The seven first centuries were filled with a rapid succession of triumphs; but it was reserved for Augustus to relinquish the ambitious design of subduing the whole earth, and to introduce a spirit of moderation into the public councils. Inclined to peace by his temper and situation, it was easy for him to discover that Rome, in her present exalted situation, had much less to hope than to fear from the chance of arms; and that, in the prosecution of remote wars, the undertaking became every day more difficult, the event more doubtful, and the possession more precarious, and less beneficial. The experience of Augustus added weight to these salutary reflections, and effectually convinced him that, by the prudent vigor of his counsels, it would be easy to secure every concession which the safety or the dignity of Rome might require from the most formidable barbarians. Instead of exposing his person and his legions to the arrows of the Parthians, he obtained, by an honorable treaty, the restitution of the standards and prisoners which had been taken in the defeat of Crassus.

Word Bank - People Colonists Benjamin Franklin Indentured servants Native Americans French Enslaved people Thomas Jefferson House of Burgesses Word Bank - Terms Ship building Colonies Southern Land Cash crops Town hall meetings Slavery New England Fishing East Grains Mercantilism Raw materials Democracy Agriculture In the early 1600’s, ___________ (people) came from Europe to establish new _______________ (term) on the American continent. When they began establishing settlements, they immediately ran into conflict with the _____________________ (people) who had been living on the land for thousands of years. The two groups competed for land, food, and the use of natural resources. British colonies dominated the ____________ (term) coast of the American continent. There were a total of 13 colonies by the early 1700’s. Europeans came to America for a variety of reasons; some came looking for religious freedom, others came to seek gold and fortune. The poorest Europeans, often criminals, signed a contract obligating them to service for an average of seven years, and came to the Americas as ______________________ (people). Their terms of work required them to perform certain tasks such as field work, sewing, cooking, or other chores. In exchange they often received a free passage to the United States, room, lodging, and were even often given ___________ (term) upon their release from service. Each of the 13 colonies was unique in terms of environment and geography. This led to different economic activity. In the ___________________ (term) colonies, because of the rocky soil and harsh winters, farming was not a lucrative economic pursuit. However, because of their coastline, industries such as _________________ (term) and _________________ (term) became popular ways to earn income. In the middle colonies, because of milder winters and less rocky soil, ________________ (term), such as wheat and rye, were often cultivated, giving these colonies the nickname “breadbasket colonies”. The ____________________ (term) colonies had a nearly year round growing season due to warmer winters and humid summers. This allowed them to grow ________________ (term) such as tobacco and rice. The British colonies had to comply with the British economic policy of ____________________ (term). This meant that all ________________ (term) cultivated in the colonies had to be shipped to England. England would in turn provide the colonies with manufactured goods, often at a marked up higher price. This ultimately meant that the colonies were forever in debt to the British government and that the colonists couldn’t sell their goods or raw materials to any other nation legally. Almost all colonies participated in the trade of _____________ (people) from Africa. Over time, the institution of ____________ (term) grew so quickly that there were more _________________ (people) from Africa than colonists from Europe or Native Americans. Politically, the colonies each formed different governments; however, most incorporated some aspect of _____________ (term). Whether it was the equal representation found in the Virginia _______________________ (people), or ____________________ (term) in New England, the democratic roots of America were formed in these early years. For nearly 100 years, the colonies each operated fairly independently; this lasted until the French and Indian War threatened the safety and security of the British colonists. Specifically, British colonists were trying to expand their settlements into the Ohio River valley, which the __________________ (people) claimed as their own territory. This was further complicated by the French colonists, who were also trying to settle on this same land. Just before the French and Indian War, ______________ (people) wrote a piece called “Join or Die” calling for the thirteen colonies to unite against their common enemies. This would be the first time the colonists united against a common enemy, but it would not be their last.
