Read the passage. If you really want to make a difference in your community, then you can start by helping out in your community. Volunteering is a way you can make a difference. Start by thinking about what you like to do. Then look for an organization that might be a good match for you and volunteer there. For example, if you like animals, volunteering to walk the dogs at your local animal shelter would be a good fit. You can make a difference in your community by giving your time and energy. If you want to make a difference in your neighborhood, then you can start by assessing what needs to be done or who might need help. Look around for elderly neighbors who might need help taking their trash and recycling out or mowing their grass. Check the area for trash and pick that up. Volunteering your time in your neighborhood can bring people there closer together. If you want to make a difference in your own household, then you can start by asking your parents what they need help with. Offer to help with neglected household chores and unfinished projects. Volunteer to baby-sit younger siblings or help them with their homework without being asked. Pitching in and helping brings families closer together and makes households function a lot better.

Read the passage. One-degree Fahrenheit may seem like an insignificant amount to many, but it can be enough to cause a change. Temperatures on Earth have increased one-degree Fahrenheit over the last century. This seemingly small change on Earth has made a big impact, though, when it comes to global warming. Global warming on Earth causes changes in rainfall patterns around the world, resulting in droughts in some areas and flooding in others. Global warming on Earth also causes the sea level to rise. As glaciers in the Arctic melt, the oceans absorb their extra water, which causes changes in coastal flooding. It can also seriously affect freshwater biomes as salty water moves inland on Earth. Global warming can also be tied to health problems related to heat stress and air pollution. So, as you can see, one-degree Fahrenheit may not seem like a big amount to many, but it sure can affect the world we live in. Which repeated phrase is the most powerful and why? global warming because it emphasizes that the entire Earth is warming, not just one area one-degree Fahrenheit because this small amount usually does not have much of an impact, and in this case it does causes changes because it reiterates how many global changes are occurring
