Dr. Miller doesn’t want the tigers to vanish.  These majestic beasts are disappearing at an alarming rate.  Dr. Miller thinks that we should write to our congress people.  If we let them know that we demand the preservation of this species, maybe we can make a difference.  Dr. Miller also thinks that we should donate to Save the Tigers.  Our donations will help to support and empower those who are fighting the hardest to preserve the tigers.  We owe it to our grandchildren to do something.

The twist is a dance inspired by rock and roll music.  To do the Twist, first stand with your feet approximately shoulder width apart.  The torso may be squared to the knees and hips, or turned at an angle so one foot is farther forward than the other.  Then, hold your arms out from your body, bent at your elbow.  Next, rotate your hips, torso, and legs as a single unit with your arms staying more or less stationary.  Every so often lift one leg off of the floor for styling.  Now you're doing the twist!

Which text structure is below:
Acoustic and Electric Guitars
As broad as their sounds are, there are several very distinct similarities and differences between electric and acoustic guitars. For instance, both utilize the use of a body for the neck to attach to and a neck with frets for finger placement. An acoustic guitar needs no amplifier to make its sound loud enough to be heard. However, an electric guitar is very hard to hear without an amplifier. An electric guitar requires the use of an amplifier to transport the sound though pickups that are secured in the body. . The genre of the music frequently dictates which type of guitar should be used.
