Default Re: thank you

rare beauty = great beauty, unusually great
The writer uses 'or' because people work in one not both of the places. parks may be beautiful, but they are often not well-maintained
elite sports- the top, mot competitive ones
hold it together = not lose control. 'it' doesn't really have a reference
embroidered- strange word, but the neuron interweave like threads making a pattern
