Explanation:

1. The student writes about her daily activities with the simple aim to telling the story about it so the text structure is description.

2. The man writes about the strange-looking creature from things that he observes, so the writing would be the description of what he saw.

3. A boy wants to write about how his life changes for his new puppy, so that the changes here is the sequence of the appearance of his new puppy. So that the text structure is sequence.

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.
