Sample Response: Plan: I will begin with a quotation about the importance of helping in the community, then state my claim about helping seniors. The body will discuss three main points about why students should volunteer. I will support the reasons with evidence showing what students have already done at the center. I will also include pictures of volunteers and senior citizens having fun to show that they will enjoy the experience. To close, I will review all the points and ask the audience to volunteer.

Explanation:

this is the sample question from the test just took it

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
