Please, type your paragraphs here (Don't forget to write your name) :-) mbarbera1 https://padlet.com/mbarbera1/f5ozjx5ocblv/wish/245060731 2018-03-22 15:31:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mbarbera1/f5ozjx5ocblv/wish/245060731 https://padlet.com/mbarbera1/f5ozjx5ocblv/wish/246834588 Extreme sports are very dangerous sports and at the same time they are very exciting activities. Both of skydiving and cliff diving (?????)you have to jump from high hill. In skydiving you must jump out of an aircraft that is 200 km above ground. You open the parachute when you get near the ground. It’s similar to clifediving. Although it is dangerous but it’s fun to do. Personally, prefer cliff diving because it’s less dangerous but at the same time it’s exciting for me. (Why?)

I do not understand...you were not supposed to describe these sports. In addition, this paragraph isn't complete. You are not using any comparative/superlative. Not enough details are given. The paragraph is too short and it is not what you were requested to do. Who are you? 
Please, go through all the material I sent in my last email. Make sure you follow instructions.

Parasailing is an activity where a person is seated in a small chair with a parachute attached to it . On the other hand, Scuba Diving is where a person dives 100 feet under the water with a oxygen slander attached to his back.

    Both sports are considered as risky and very extreme sport . Scuba Diving and parasailing have a lot in common. For instance, both of them are practiced in the water and people do it mostly in summer . Scuba Diving is a dangerous sport because it involves going so deep in the water with just a tank of oxygen. However parasailing is not as dangerous as Scuba Diving because it is practiced above the water, and there is no risk of oxygen tank failure or being attacked by dangerous inhabitant. However , both sports are so fun and very interesting to try.

To sum up , I really would like to Try Scuba Diving because it is more adventurous and thrilling. To add up, it would be awesome to swim with the fish and see different kind of coral reefs .

EXCELLENT PARAGRAPH!!!!

These two sports are considered to be extreme sports. They both happen in water,  one happens above water and the other under it. These sports are usually practiced in hot countries. Scuba diving is more adventurous and might be more dangerous than parasailing because you might run out of oxygen  or you might be faced with some sharks  while you are under water . On the other hand, parasailing seems more fun to do with friends because you can share together the experience of  flying  like a bird in the air and feel free. In addition, when practicing scuba diving you should carry a breathing equipment for deeper and longer dives, which might be too heavy to carry with you. However, parasailing seems very easy to practice as you comfortably sit on a chair which is connected to the motorboat. In conclusion, I think parasailing would be better for me because I’m scared of diving for a long time. I cannot wait to try this new sport with my friends this weekend!

Scuba diving is a sport where you go 100 feet underwater. Also, the only thing keeps you alive is tank of oxygen. Usually the compressed air tank lets you dive deeper and allows independence and freedom of movement, but it might be dangerous if there are sharks.On the other hand, parasailing is an entertaining activity where a person is towed behind a boat while attached by a specially designed parachute. If the boat is strong enough, two or three people can parasail behind it at the same time. You will fly above the ocean while enjoying the view.In conclusion,  If i had to choose I would prefer parasailing instead of scuba diving because it seems more fun to do with friends,also it’s not as dangerous  as scuba diving.

This is good. However, you will definitely lose points for Context and Purpose. Do not focus too much on the description of the two sports. The main objective is to compare and contrast between the two sports. Why is parasailing more fun? Why is scuba diving more dangerous?]]> 2018-03-29 12:16:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mbarbera1/f5ozjx5ocblv/wish/247213906 Alanoud Alkuwari https://padlet.com/mbarbera1/f5ozjx5ocblv/wish/247225177 Scuba diving and parasailing are interesting sports that happen in water and usually during summer. Scuba diving happens inside the water but parasailing above the water .First of all, while practicing scuba diving you need a tank of oxygen strapped on your back because it will help you to swim 100+ feet under the water for a long time. Scuba diving is an interesting sport because you will discover new kind of fish, also you will discover more kind of plants. On the other hand,parasailing is a sport that requires you to hang from a parachute and it is known as parasail wing. While being pulled by a motorboat the harness attaches the pilot to the parasail which is connected to the boat. (You gave too many unnecessary details that are taken from the text provided)It is an interesting sport because it’s not dangerous as scuba diving. In addition, you can use your phone to take selfies, and it is suitable for all the ages.In conclusion, I think parasailing  is better than scuba diving because it is safer and more fun ,so I would choose parasiling instead of scuba diving.

Good! However, the description of the sports needs to be reduced and more focus given to comparing/contrasting the two sports. :-)]]> 2018-03-29 12:53:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mbarbera1/f5ozjx5ocblv/wish/247225177 Fatma alsulaiti https://padlet.com/mbarbera1/f5ozjx5ocblv/wish/247392277 Parasailing and Scuba Diving are two very interesting sports and they are considered to be extremely sport. Both sports require water but Parasailing is above the water and Scuba Diving is deep in the water. In Scuba Diving, all you need is tank of oxygen strapped to your back, because you will swim 100+ feet under water and more. Also, don’t forget the professional person who knows how to swim under water in case you need help. Moreover, Scuba Diving is more interesting because you will be able to discover new kinds of fish, and you will see how is the world under water looks like. On the other hand, Parasailing is a sport that allows you to see the world from up. IAll you need in this sport is a parachute and a motorboat, you will be hanging from a parachute, while you are being pulled by a motorboat. Furthermore, If the boat is strong enough two or three people can para sail. Parasailing is interesting because you will be flying in the air. In conclusion, Scuba Diving is more interesting than Parasailing. 

(Why? You need to explain why in the conclusion)
Remember the point of this paragraph is too compare/contrast the two sports. The description of the actual sport needs to be brief. This is good but you need to focus more on comparing the two sports and give reasons.]]> 2018-03-29 20:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mbarbera1/f5ozjx5ocblv/wish/247392277 199859536 https://padlet.com/mbarbera1/f5ozjx5ocblv/wish/247440074 Parasailing and Scuba Diving

These two sports are considered to be extreme sports. They both happen in water, one happens above water and the other under it. They are famous in hot countries. Scuba diving is more adventurous and might be more dangerous than parasailing because maybe the oxygen will run out or you might be faced with some sharks while you are under water. On the other hand , parasailing seems more fun to do with friends because you can share together the experience of flying like a bird in the air and feel free.

You are a wonderful student. :-D ]]> 2018-03-30 07:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mbarbera1/f5ozjx5ocblv/wish/247444749 Noora Hamad J S Noora https://padlet.com/mbarbera1/f5ozjx5ocblv/wish/247512833 Scuba diving and white water rafting are two water activities and both of them are  extreme sports. These two sports are in the water, and you can try both sports with your family or friends. Scuba diving and white water rafting seem both safe sports because before anyone tries these two sports, they should wear something to keep them safe. For example : life jacket, helmet, and the tank of oxygen (but the latter does not apply to rafting). However, regarding safety, white water rafting does not appear to be as safe as scuba diving because the weather controls the white water rafting, and no one can expect exactly how the weather is going to be. On the other hand, trying scuba diving with family and friends is not as good as white water rafting because in scuba diving you can’t communicate with others down in the water except by sign language. In conclusion, I think scuba diving is much better than white water rafting  because it’s a new and different experience, and  from this experience you can discover new types of fish and sea plants. Moreover, you can swim without any restrictions except the tank of oxygen. 

I am wondering why you did not compare scuba diving with parasailing? Maybe to try something new? Regardless, your paragraph is extremely good. :-D
Just make sure to use it seems/it appears rather than "I think". You can use "I think" in the conclusion when you state your own opinion. It is better that way. Also, no comma before "because". :-)]]> 2018-03-30 15:54:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mbarbera1/f5ozjx5ocblv/wish/247512833 Sareeah alkuwari https://padlet.com/mbarbera1/f5ozjx5ocblv/wish/247541111 Parasailing and scuba diving are two very interesting sports  that happen in water.Parasailing happens above water and scuba diving happens underwater. In addition, both of these sports are usually practiced during summer or in hot countries. Scuba diving seems more adventurous and might be more dangerous than parasailing because scuba diving has many risks that the person who is doing it might have to face, like running out of oxygen or getting injured by the creatures under the sea. On the other hand , parasailing is more fun because you can do it with your friends and it is less dangerous than scuba diving. Also , parasailing is a way to get fresh air and be away from the noise, so it is not just  fun it’s relaxing too. In conclusion, I would try parasailing for several reasons. First , its an easy sport. Second , I am scared of diving under the sea. Moreover, parasailing is a relaxing sport.

Good job!!! :-)]]> 2018-03-30 18:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mbarbera1/f5ozjx5ocblv/wish/247541111 Rouda salem https://padlet.com/mbarbera1/f5ozjx5ocblv/wish/247546779 Scuba diving and parasailing both happen in water.but scuba diving happens under water whereas the other happens above water. They are usually practiced during or in hot countries. Scuba diving  is more adventure and at the same time more dangerous than parasailing. Instead, parasailing is more fun to practice  with friends. It is a less dangerous experience to share with friends and family.
On the other hand, scuba diving might be more dangerous because of several risks, such as running out of oxygen and meeting sharks while under water.
In the end, i think parasailing is better than scuba diving because it is  more fun and you will have a wonderful experience that you will never forget.

Good job Rouda! :-D I had to make some arrangements on the second part of your paragraph related to word order and connectors. Have a look!
