Gifted Girl Going Big

Minu Dietlinde is only 14 years old but she has already graduated from high school with the best grade possible. He race through school started for her unlike for most students not in grade one but in grade three as her writing and reading skills had already surpassed those of her classmates. Having passed elementary school she skipped grade 5 and later on even went straight from grade 10 to grade 12 as part of an experiment which her class took part in. Asked whether she has any regrets about her fast track through the school system, Minu happily talks about her mainly female friends she has made during that time. She feels, however, sorry about the fact that the boys never really accepted her and that she couldn’t take part in the PE lessons as the teachers feared that she might get injured due to her physique which has always been petite compared to that of her classmates. These minor setbacks won’t stop her though from continuing her education as she plans to study medicine at the University of Heidelberg to work later on in research or teaching. Knowing about her success, it might come as a surprise that Minu doesn’t spend all her free time studying but that she enjoys similar things other kids her age like. So she loves reading books and writing stories although in English and she took place in a biology program- just for fun. The future has certainly big things in store for this gifted girl.

TEXT PRODUCTION

Here is an example of a comment

„Get up, Nigger.“ These are the words that young Rosa Parks probably heard on that December afternoon in Montgomery Alabama in 1955. The Alabama segregation law demanded from her to give up her seat for a white man which she refused to do that day as she was tired from a hard day of work. As a consequence she was arrested and had to pay a considerable fine.

This act of bravery and defiance caused Martin Luther King, a black Baptist preacher, to start the Civil Rights Movement which led to the famous Montgomery Bus Boycott during which African Americans refused to take the local buses. This non-violent protest was successful because segregation on buses was made illegal by the Supreme Court. In the course of the next years the movement achieved more equality for African Americans by making the government pass more civil rights laws. Rosa did, however, not only inspire African Americans but also whites whose attention was, for the first time, drawn in a very public way to the injustice and discrimination in the South. That caused many Americans to contribute more actively to the Civil Rights Movement. The result of that was the mass protest in Washington in 1963 when whites and blacks protested together against discrimination in the USA.

So Rosa Parks has been the metaphorical spark to a fire which would eventually consume all of the United States and bring more equality to the United States and therefore change history.

Here is the improved statement answering the question why people should NOT tombstone

Tombstoning has become a favourite pastime for teenagers and even adults who want to experience the rush of adrenaline by jumping off a cliff. These jumps can also end in tragedy when a tombstoner hits a rock on the bottom because they didn’t anticipate the shallowness of the water or is swept away by the strong current. This can cause serious injuries like fractured bones, severe blood loss or you can hurt your spine or head which can leave you disabled for life. Being then in a wheelchair changes not only your whole life but also that of your family. Some tombstoners even die as a result of their injuries. Therefore, people should not jump off cliffs as it is too dangerous and can alter your life in ways you never wished for.
