During week one of EDC131 I learned that the way in which language is used to communicate can vary depending on the context. I also learned that there are numerous forms of communication this includes writing, talking, and gestures. In learning the three communications, it became clear that communication is more than just speaking and the way that language is used to express different emotions. Language also shows opinions, beliefs, wishes, threats, commands, promises, and many others are also expressed through language and can alter the meaning if the context is changed. This will later be helpful with my education and future career.
Tattoos have recently become increasingly popular in youth, due to the hidden meanings and symbolism that they are endowed with. Helen Day’s opinionative blog entry, The Power of Ink, asserts that the significance of tattoos have diminished due to the fashionable aesthetics that tattoos project. A highly casual, yet acknowledging tone characterises her blog entry, which is predominantly catered to young Australian readers who are interested in receiving a tattoo. Accompanying her blog entry is a number of comments which both support and criticise the new phenomenon of tattoos. Poignantly complementing her article is an image of Ta Mako tattoos, a Maori form of body art, and the front cover of the written work “No tattoos before you’re
Staff handle things fast and it all around seems like a happy staff-team to be apart. I have been wanting be staff again because I miss the old days of being staff on other server's and just handling things correctly and doing my job. I never abuse which is always a common issue with some servers but doesn't seem to be a major one on this server. I do watch 2 of the server's youtuber's which is the Owner and MackemYT which is an old friend of mines ''I am zak mackem if you are reading this'' sorry but I had to say that. Anyway's this server seems like a good place for me to handle my staff duties on and play on basically. I like to make my applications original so if somethings arent things you hear on the daily it's because i'm diffrent yea i'm diffrent. I honestly think being apart of the team I can help out a lot of people because I am usually in the teamspeak at all times and on the server when I can be on the server. I know being staff is a lot of responsibility and there is some drama involved at some points but I do not like to get my self into the drama I rather just continue working and trying to get those promotions! Being staff can be difficult some times because of the amount of issues that go on at once but I can help out with that along with
I learned a lot about communication in week 1 during the instructor’s lecture. It was very valuable to me because I learned about the different styles of communicating in reference to conflict. I myself have used an avoiding style in the past so as not to offend anyone during a disagreement. I enjoyed learning about the different styles and how they relate to our daily lives. e.
When Miss Tarango wins the bet against Barry Bagsley by using deceptive language, Ishmael realizes that language is an extremely important virtue when dealing with people like Barry Bagsley. Throughout the book there are some very good examples of Ishmael, his friends and other people featured in the book that use language to have an effect on people.
Elsa seems to fit the profile of many first-generation Hispanic students. Although she was born in the U.S., her first language is Spanish and she arrived at school with limited English proficiency. Since she qualifies for free lunch and her parents are recent immigrants, they are more than likely a working-class family with limited resources for learning materials or experiences outside school, aside from the after-school program. Also, Elsa’s punctuality and readiness to learn may be an indicator that her parents probably place a high value on education. It is not mentioned if Elsa is shy in settings outside school, therefore, it is not clear if her shyness is a result of insecurity when speaking English or if it is a part of her personality. However, the fact that there are many others Hispanic children in the school is a positive element that can help her boost her confidence and ethnic identity.
Option No.2 is the best. According to Cathy, Firoz’s ability for doing the nonverbal jobs, such as bank reconciliation and financial reports, is undoubtedly “first rate”. As a non English speaker, Firoz’s ability of getting all his nonverbal jobs done well in English has already shown his English ability and learning ability. Cathy may expect someone in Firoz’s position to have great communication skills, but nobody is perfect. Communication skills can be taughted and improved over time; someone speaks English fluently does not mean he has great communication skills.Cathy requires her coworkers to speak in her rapid-fire Brooklyn accent; Cathy is more self-centred. She needs to know to how interact with people from different background and

The Newspeak Language George Orwell’s novel 1984 paints a disturbing picture about perpetual power through the future perspective of 1980’s Oceania. Several types of people live in this alternate universe including proles, Outer Party, and Inner Party. Winston Smith, the protagonist, works in the media in order to rewrite history using a new language, Newspeak. Ingsoc, the party, uses subtle distinction in order to control the people with Newspeak by limiting vocabulary, which reduces the ability to make decisions, and the poverty of the language is manifested in the city itself.
Jenifer, as you said that you live in a country that value the education, especially reading, actually that is undeniable, and it is proven that 99% American both men and women are literate. Also, thanks to NRP who endorse a tremendous effort to introduce and publish the big five ideas (Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, Comprehension) of reading. If the educators, parents, and community integrate with each other, and help the children to familiarize these five notions with the creation of various effective approaches then definitely, children would be successful in Language Arts as well as in all
The /ʌ/ sound is made with the tongue in its rest position while /a/ is made with the back part of the tongue low in the mouth. It is important for ELLs who experience trouble with this to practice their mistake. Stress, rhythm and intonation in the English language all poses unique qualities making it difficult for ELL’s to grasp the concepts because they are so different from many of their native languages. Mastering stress, rhythm and intonation will lead to better understanding of the ELL when they are speaking because these components are essential to the English language. Each native language has different challenges when it comes to learning pronunciation in English but through practice and noticing their weakness and strengths an educator
The author uses an effective simile to emphasize the physical appearance of Okonkwo. Okonkwo’s repulsive appearance is illustrated by the phrase “his eyes were red and fierce like the eyes of a rat when it was caught…” which serves to broaden the image of Okonkwo and project the Heart-rending emotion he was feeling, caused by the death of Ikemefuna. The disturbing yet effectual Phrase of Okonkwo “not [tasting] any food” depicts Okonkwo’s emotion of mourn and grief for Ikemefuna by revealing his self-harming
For my sixth paper, I would like to talk about the “I” language. This language is a part of the language of responsibility. It takes an, “It” statement to an, “I” statement, making arguments or fights less possible. One example I have of this is from a situation I had at work with coworker.

They are: 1. the defeated sleuth, whether he be an armchair detective or a private eye; 2. the world, city, or text as labyrinth; 3.
