Answer:
The Marshmallow Experiment
Imagine that you are seven years old. You are participating in an experiment. A
researcher greets you and shows you into a small room. In the room there is a
marshmallow. The marshmallow is for you, but here is the interesting part: The
researcher tells you that he is going to leave you alone in the room for a while. You can
eat the marshmallow right away, or you can wait until he gets back. If you wait until he
gets back, you will get a second marshmallow.
What do you do? Do you eat the marshmallow right away?
An experiment like this, known informally as the marshmallow experiment, was
conducted decades ago at Stanford University. It turned out that some children ate the
marshmallow right away, while others were able to wait. In other words, some sought
instant self-gratification, and some delayed it.
Years later, the researchers followed up on the participants. They found that the
children who delayed self-gratification were in general more successful than those who
ate the marshmallow right away. By a variety of measures, including SAT scores, they
appeared to be more competent.
Common sense tells us that the ability to delay self-gratification is a mark of maturity.
The marshmallow experiment provides evidence that it may also correlate with success
in life.
Notes:
- Many of these verb phrases consist of an auxiliary verb and a main verb. So, for
example, “are participating” and “do…eat” are considered verb phrases.
- “is going to leave”: If we consder “is going to” a kind of auxiliary verb, then this is a
verb phrase, just like “will leave.”
- “known as…”: If you underlined “known,” that’s fine. It is a verb. It is a nonfinite verb,
Today's day was such a boring day! Yeah! it was too boring. Just because sugar was not there at home. Mom finished whole jar of sugar by preparing coffee thrice a day. Because of lockdown, shops are closed and neighbour's house is locked. Maybe they went on trip to nearby village. The day was so boring without a sugar. I'm a tea person. I need tea atleast thrice a day. I feel fresh after having tea. But sugar was not there! I felt like Imma gonna die soon! A day without a sugar is a gravy without salt. And my day went so slowly. I can't even express through words how cheap this day was! I'm gonna bring sugar tomorrow and will taste tea the whole day and nobody can stoppp me tomorrow. Yeahhhh!
