14. Take for example Dr. King’s most famous speech “I Have a Dream.” Paragraph 1 gives the background of his time: “in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment I still have a dream.” Paragraph 2 states his main point: “all men are created equal.” Paragraphs 3-5 reveal opposing opinions and then respond to them: “my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

18. _______________________________________ _______________________________________ That means that less than 1 percent of the world’s water is usable. Hence, water conservation is definitely a must for all mankind.
