They Do not play with your teeth when you bite down on the straw. Other straws are not good because you can choke on the plastic straws if the fall apart, and paper straws don't fell good on your teeth.

2- The lithium-ion batteries used in self-driving vehicles pose a fire hazard if they overheat. Lithium-ion batteries may explode if they catch fire, and the fire can spread to other vehicle systems. You can’t put out a lithium-ion battery fire with water or a fire extinguisher, which makes it challenging to contain these fires. 

3- I believe the author is informing. I know this because it talks about a specific battery name.

2-Trampolines pose several safety risks to children and are frequently the cause of accidents and injuries. These injuries from trampolines can be as mild as a sprain or bruise, or as severe as broken bones, dislocated joints, head injuries and even paralysis.

3- I believe the author's purpose was to inform because they are informing the reader of the dangers of trampolines

2- Supporters of straw bans say they are a simple step that can help reduce the massive amount of plastic waste in our oceans that can be harmful to marine life. Advocates also see the bans as a first step in a campaign to reduce single-use plastics and a means to compel consumers to think critically about the environmental impact of their buying decisions.

3- I think the authors purpose is inform, because they are informing you to take plastic straws away because of the plastic waste in our oceans.

2- Plastic straws are simple, inexpensive devices that perform their purpose well. That's why they are so ubiquitous. But unlike other plastics, straws are so small and lightweight that they often get left out of the recycling process. People forget to recycle them. Or machines accidentally sort them out, causing them to end up in landfills and waterways. 

3- I think this article's purpose is inform because it is informing you that plastic straws are lightweight and since they are lightweight, people or machines displace them.

2.Tesla is the leading automaker with semi-autonomous technology and an enhanced autopilot system that comes standard on every new vehicle. With 90 reported crashes, the American Honda Motor Company had the second-highest number of Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems-related accidents. Subaru of America comes in third with 10 reported accidents.

3. I think the author is trying to inform us. I think this because the author is telling us information about the crashes.

But given the opportunity and interest, teens can get health benefits from almost any activity they enjoy.

3. Persuade because the author is trying to make teens go out doors and try to get some activity done.

2-A 2019 report from World Animal Protection found that hundreds of zoos actively abuse their animals in order to provide entertainment for visitors. Animals were forced to undergo extensive and painful “training” in order to learn how to perform activities that visitors find amusing. Examples of such activities include dolphins being forced to act as surfboards, elephants being forced to swim underwater and wild cats being forced to perform in gladiator-style shows.

3-The author is describing the abuse animals receive at zoos. I know this because it gives me multiple examples of how they get abused.

2.animals in zoos suffer in both physical and mental ways.

3.I think the author purpose is that they suffer from many things and develop concerning behaviors like repetitive pacing, bar biting, and swaying

2-The emergence of AVs presents great opportunities for enhancing accessibility and inclusion. AVs free up people’s driving time and could potentially increase transportation safety with well-trained driving behaviors

3-I think this means that self-driving cars can enhance our future and help us.

2) they want the staff to watch the customers so they are safe

2-Young children are especially susceptible to trampoline injuries, according to Armin Tehrany, an orthopedic surgeon and founder of Manhattan Orthopedic Care.“Their bones are still growing,” he said. Tehrany cautions parents that a soft surface doesn’t ensure safety because the mechanism of jumping on a trampoline — jumping to progressively higher heights and landing — puts a lot of stress on developing bones.

“The pressure they put themselves under puts them at high risk for fracture and other injuries,” he said.  

3-The author of this article is trying to inform because he states facts about developing bones and that they are risking fracturing bones and other injuries.

2-Plastic straws are simple, inexpensive devices that perform their purpose well. That's why they are so ubiquitous. But unlike other plastics, straws are so small and lightweight that they often get left out of the recycling process. People forget to recycle them. Or machines accidentally sort them out, causing them to end up in landfills and waterways. 

3- I think this Authors purpose is to inform. This is why is think its to inform. It says that they are too small and lightweight so people forget to recycle and them.

#2Gilbert needs them to be the right length, and they have to be able to handle hot temperatures. And many restaurants don’t offer what he needs.

#3 Many people with disabilities to do things like drink coffee and bend to make easy to drink

2. Zoos produce helpful scientific research.

3.I think the authors purpose was to inform because he is telling us zoos help with scientific research.

3. I think the author is trying to inform us about the autopilot safety and how safe these cars control.

2-Zoos can be educational institutions, providing valuable information about animals from all over the world; they can also be conservation centers, helping to protect endangered species and promote breeding programs that increase the population of threatened animals; and zoos can be entertainment venues, offering a fun day out for families with children.

3- The author is to persuade that zoos provide knowledge to people all over the world. I think it is persuading because they are saying zoos can provide a lot of info about animals and how they live.

2- “Every newborn panda is important,” says Don Lindburg, leader of the giant panda research team at the San Diego Zoo. “After they have grown to adulthood, some of the captive-born bears could be released into the mountainous wilds,” he says. Those that mate and give birth to more cubs will help rebuild China’s perilously small population of wild pandas.

3- I believe that what the author is trying to say is that when a panda is born they are like hope because they can grow the endangered species and make them safe and not be hunted or anything. Also when the panda grows up they can be released back into China so they can build up the population that is very small.

2- Trampolines are not safe for kids. Between 2018 and 2019 more than 800,000 kids got hurt on trampolines. Trampolines risk high injuries including injuries to ligaments that require surgery, paralysis, and even life threatening injuries. Even broken bones can have lasting effects including the potential for nerve damage. These are reasons why trampolines are not safe for kids.

That is why zoos are not all good.

2- Plastic straws are one of the biggest polluntants in the world. One reason is that cannot be broken down by natural decompers such as fungi. Another reason is that, researchers off the coast of Costa Rica shared a viral video of a sea turtle with a plastic straw stuck up its nose. My final reason is that plastic pollution is extremely dangerous to marine life, and plastic straws are no exception. This is why plastic straws are one of the biggest polluntants in the world.

2- There is evidence of people experiencing a condition called Vertebral Compression Fracture (VCF) because of bad posture during rebounding. Rebounding does involve a combination of compression and decompression of the spine due to the gravitational changes when jumping and landing, and his could theoretically put pressure on the spinal discs. Trampoline jumping has a greater knee extensor moment compared to hard surface jumping.

3- The main idea is that there are negative effects to jumping on trampolines.

2- Self-driving cars is a hopeful future for us all. One reason is that it has greater convenience. Another way is that it reduces the cost in maintenance requirements. A 3rd reason is that it can help people who are old and for disabled people. A 4th and final reason is that it improves transport interconnectivity. All of these reasons support that self-driving cars can be a hopeful future for us all.

60% of the energy used in electricity is lost in the progress.

940 million people worldwide don't have electricity, and without electric cars the electricity could go to those people, meaning air conditioning, heat, etc.

electric cars, heat pumps, and electric technology is predicted to increase power consumption by 40% in 2050.

2- According to the World Animal Foundation, zoos don't provide suitable environments for the animals, because they are kept in small, confined spaces where their needs aren't met. Many animals are ignored and may even die prematurely. The New York Times also points out a number of harmful zoo practices such as killing "surplus" animals. Meanwhile, some zoos can be credited with saving certain species from extinction, biodiversity is still decreasing.

3- The author is pursuing me that zoos are bad for animals. I know that because it gives me reasons why zoos are bad.

2- Taronga Conservation Society Australia

How zoos saved many animals from extinction.

3- The author is trying to tell me that zoos can and have saved many animals from extinction and will probably do more. They have shown many animals the zoos have saved from extinction including the Przewalski's Horse, Arabian Oryx, California Condor, California Condor, Corroboree Frog, Bongo, Regent Honeyeater, Panamanian Golden Frog, Bellinger River Turtle, Golden Lion Tamarin, and the Amur Leopard. They have probably saved many more. The Przewalski's Horse was announced extinct then they had an incredible comeback and the zoos helped create a stable population around the world. This is what the author is trying to tell me about zoos saving many animals from extinction.

2- Shuddering and unable to breathe he vomited up five plastic bags. The small pilot whale found in a Thai canal that happend is another symptom of a crisis in the world’s oceans. Plastic waste mostly broken down into tiny particles floats in huge blobs among ocean current patterns called gyres that together cover as much as 40 percent of Earth’s ocean surface. Growing public concern has inspired movements to ban single use plastics most notably straws.

2.people get hurt if an animal get out of the cage. One day a zoo keeper was working and was feeding the animal. He was feeding the bears, lions, hippos.

As he walked into the hippos cage there was sopposed to be a protector but it was broken. He walked in and the hippos started dragging him around he was scared and even said that he was screaming. But he said no one helped him. Fortunately he was okay.

3. Sometimes people get hurt. One day a man who worked at the zoo was feeding the animals. He went to the hippos cage. But there was no protector it was broken then the hippo dragged him around the cage. Fortunately he was okay.

3. They are saying that self-driving cars are bad.

4. They gave examples of incidents. One example is in 2018, while Uber was testing their self-driving vehicle, the car struck and killed a woman.

5. I think self-driving cars are bad ,because

2-Wednesday that they have at least three weeks of food prepared for the animals in-coming Milton, they got the animals 3 weeks worth of food, the workers are securing buildings and preparing food around the clock in an effort to keep more than a thousand animals safe, there also there was group of employees had remained on site during the hurricane to keep watch over the animals.  

3- The main idea of this video and website is to inform the reader about the hurricane and how the workers helped keep the animals safe. I think this is because in the passage it said the workers provided 3 weeks of food. Another reason I think this is there was a group of workers who had remained on site during the hurricane. This is why I think this.
