Skills Post 2

Hello everyone, I am Kaysters. Today I would like to Summarize & Paraphrase the article Shark Attacks from the hand-out and one article that I am interested in.

1.Handout - Shark Attacks

< Summarizing >

    People sometimes get attacked by sharks when they go swimming in the ocean. However, when I meet a shark it will not always attack you. There are more chances to be struck by lightning or get drowned than getting attacked by sharks. If you are still worried about shark attacks there are few ways to reduce the chances of being attacked by a shark. First, traveling in groups is one way to reduce the risks. Sharks usually attack swimmers who are alone. Also, you have to stay away from the water if you have a cut because sharks are very good at smelling.

    To reduce the risks from getting attacked by sharks, I should swim in groups because sharks attack solo swimmers than people swimming together. Staying away from the ocean is a good way if I have a wound. This is because sharks have excellent ability to smell things.



2. An Article that I am interested about

< Summarizing >

    Steffanie Leigh  has got the lead who is 24 years old in the musical Mary Poppins. She personally thinks that she can not ever be like Julie Andrews even if she is good. The script was made by the book by P.L .Travers and the songs and moments were from the movie. This was definitly a performance for all people because there is a 11-year-old actress. She had achieved her dream that she had since she was a teen. She is  loving being part of a community that loved and supported the arts so much.

<Paraphrasing - 3rd paragraph>]

   Article : “I haven’t really worried about it,” said Leigh from a tour stop in Costa Mesa. “And I think it’s because the show’s creative team has never asked me to be like Julie Andrews, which is very nice of them. I play Mary with my own spin because there’s just no way I could ever be Julie Andrews.”

:Steffanie had not been anxious about it and she thinks the reason is because the team never asked her to be like Julie Andrews but just do it her way. This was told by Steffanie in a tour stop in Costa Mesa.
