Read the formal email, and then answer the question. Subject: Traffic Concern Dear Principal Miller, As you know, the main entrance to the high school is on Main Street. This road becomes jammed at the beginning of the school day. The traffic is lined up all the way to the light at Main Street and Blake Lane, and it is a very short light. The green light for traffic turning from Blake Lane to Main Street is especially short. It takes at least 20 minutes just to get through this light. As a result, students are often late getting to their first class in the morning. In addition, drivers are tempted to go through yellow or red lights since so few cars get through. I did some research and found that there have been three accidents in the last month alone. Although these have all been minor collisions, they create major delays and a safety hazard for students trying to get to school. I hope that you will look into these issues before there is a more serious accident. Sincerely, Joanna Mason Senior at Blake High School What is the purpose of this email? to request information about a specific problem to discuss reasons to start school at a later time to introduce a problem with the timing of traffic lights to provide an excuse for why students are often late

the purpose of the email was to persuade the principal to get the light fixed so students can get to school on time and safe.

Explanation:

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.
