Science Mysteries: How Many Species Are There? You might think that after 200 years, the scientists who find, name, and describe Earth's species would be close to finished. But taxonomists, as organized as they may
be, have no idea how many species Earth has. Nor can they even provide an educated guess. Although reporting over 16,000 new species every year, taxonomists still
cannot predict how many more are undiscovered.
In total, taxonomists have categorized and listed 1.2 million species on Earth. At this point, you would think scientists should be able to use the information they have
gathered to make good predictions about how many species an ecosystem can support. This would help them make better predictions about how many species are left
to identify. So far, however, the guesses seem to vary so greatly that it seems there is no good theory for making a prediction.
One of the main problems is that most of the places that seem to have a lot of diverse species are in places that are hard to get to. One such place is the ocean, where
scientists believe some 80 percent of Earth's creatures are hiding at depths too deep for us to study. In addition, many of the planet's most diverse areas are in remote
places with few taxonomists.
Despite all the unknowns, scientists have agreed that there are between five and 15 million species left to discover on Earth. This is a huge range, but whether
it's five or 15, taxonomists clearly still have a lot of work to do. And who knows, there may yet be a dragon or a Loch Ness monster left to discover.

  plan: i will begin with a quotation about the importance of unity in a community. then, i will state my claim that an activity will unite our school by creating a shared vision, purpose, and direction. in the body, i will use three main points that describe the different avenues the students can take: through a variety of clubs, through a special event, or through an awareness week. i will provide evidence about other towns that have unity activities and the kinds of events that they include. pictures will illustrate my three main points in action. for the ending, i will restate the main idea in a new way and pose a question to keep the audience thinking. 

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.

the answer should be

the simple past tense of strive.

hope this !
