Read the excerpt of a valedictory speech from a senior high school as she addresses her classmates. Then, write five (5) sentences that use cohesive devices and underline each. Do
this in your answer sheet.

This may sound harsh, but it's not untrue to how some of us feel. It is easy to feel buried
by our circumstances. However, he (the pastor) goes on to paint a picture of a farmer planting
a seed. Did the farmer bury the seed? Well, yes, but he also planted it. Instead of feeling buried
by our situation, we must realize that the pain and heartache that has been piled upon us is not
meant to bury, but to plant us in a way that will allow us to grow and prosper into who we are
meant to be. As you stop and take in the circumstances around you, will you allow yourself to
be buried or to be planted?
As we move on from this place and embark on the next big journey of life, whether
that's college, the workforce or something else, life will at some point begin to feel like it's
going too fast. My bike rides have taught me a new way to handle these times because they
allow me to exercise and be among the beauty of nature, which are things that cause me to slow
down. When life becomes too much like a race for you, it may not be riding a bike. It may be
playing an instrument, sport, creating art or something else entirely. I encourage you to find
that one thing that allows you to unwind and refocus when life seems too much to handle.
Now, I'd like to take you on a bike ride with me as we share this experience together in
our faces, something that is both exciting and terrifying: freedom. We sit atop our bikes of life
as high school graduates and now have the freedom to choose who we are and where we
will go
