Let's Put it all Together - Practice Passage 2 Correction


All of us have a special skill or talent. That skill or talent may be drawing, playing a musical instrument, or excelling in a sport. For Mia Hamm, (introductory phrase) it is playing soccer. Both Mia’s athletic ability and her interest in the game were (subject-verb agreement) evident at a very early age. (run-on sentence) She joined her first soccer team at the age of five and has focused on the sport ever since. At the age of fifteen, Mia became the youngest player ever to join the U.S. Women’s National Team. As the years passed, Mia’s dedication to her sport continued to pay off. She won several awards, including three Olympic (proper noun) medals, and was recognized as the U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year for five years in a row. It is hard to believe that when Mia was a baby, she had to spend several months with her feet in casts to correct a structural foot problem. Could you be the next Mia Hamm of art, music, or sports? Anything is possible if you work hard enough.
