Dear Ms. Jackson,
to our class.
You have asked for student input to help decide our guest speaker this fall. I am proposing that we ask veterinarian Dr. Gabby Ruiz to speak
First of all, Dr. Gabby Ruiz is a former student of Center Point Middle School, I think she would be a great inspiration to aspiring doctors, and
she could describe what kind of classes she took in high school and in college. Also, it was Dr. Gabby Ruiz who started Paw Pals at our school when
she was in eighth grade. Since then, many students have enjoyed volunteering for the pet rescue program and have benefitted from the work
experience they have gained.
Second, Dr. Gabby Ruiz wants to get students more involved with her practice. She needs volunteers to walk and feed some of the pets. She
could explain the kind of training that students need in order to participate, and she could motivate students to volunteer their time.
Which statement provides the best conclusion to Amber's letter?
1. Dr. Gabby Ruiz is the ideal choice for speaker because she works well with pets, which interest almost all teenagers.
2. Center Point is a friendly town, and by asking Dr. Gabby Ruiz to speak, you will be demonstrating how friendly our school is.
3. As a former student, active community leader, and successful doctor, Dr. Gabby Ruiz would be the perfect role model to speak to our
class.
4. If chosen to be guest speaker, Dr. Ruiz could probably bring in some rescued animals from her volunteer program, which the
students would truly enjoy.
