A composition should be structured in paragraphs. Each paragraph should represent a clear idea which should always be in link with the preceding and succeeding ...

Religions

Religion was one of the reasons behind change and upheaval in England during the 17th century. Looking back at history keenly, religion was one of the causes of the civil war witnessed in England during the 17th century. This began from the days of godly rule by Oliver Cromwell and ‘the Saints’, straight to the Glorious Revolution witnessed at the end of the 17th century. These years witnessed tensions within English Protestantism leading to a very intense battle for supremacy during the early 17th century. This war did not stop here as it continued through the mid-17th century by ...

Ancient literalists can be easily identified with their works and their time. Christopher Marlowe's poem "the Passionate Shepherd to his love” is a classic piece that paints a picture of the English pastoral life applied to a love context. Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593) was an English translator, poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan era (Edgecombe, 42). Marlowe is said to have been so good a poet and dramatist that his exploits are only comparable to those of William Shakespeare. Initially a controversial character, Marlowe later wrote several plays and poems among them the poem titled "the Passionate Shepherd to his ...

Introduction

The development of English as a first or second language comprises four strategic domains. These include listening, reading, speaking and writing. An English language learner can either attend classes to learn the language from a teacher or tutor or may simply learn through association with frequent English as the way children learn language from their parents and peers. In the class contexts, learning of English required skills from the tutor as well as other learning materials like audio-visuals that are meant to reinforce written or spoken words from the teacher. The learning of English focuses on a few critical ...

Business Communication

Business Communication for English as a Second Language Speaker
In the 21st century, businesses have increased cultural interaction in the workplace. Most places of work have become a haven of multicultural association due to the positive impact it has on running business. Despite the multicultural benefits, there has emerged certain issues that my cause miscommunication in the offices. Employees who speak English as a second language (ESL) bring about most of these issues in communication. Stephens, SiIbert, and Hasson (2010) argue that though they might have learnt to speak English elsewhere, the native speakers often have a different dialect ...

Abstract

Photography is more a form journalism than art. It is these pictures that are used to influence the way people think in life. As a form of art, pictures would not be able to influence people’s thoughts and ideas but would instead be a source of amusement. I would care if I realized that the photo in a magazine or newspaper had been manipulated. Unfortunately, few are the times that one realizes of any manipulation in a picture. However, in the case that I came to realize of any manipulation, I would have a lot of questions left ...

The kind of childhood we had inevitably influences the kind of adults we become. Those who consider themselves failures or successes in life attribute most of this to their upbringing.

She tells the story of her life with nostalgia, reflection, and humor, intended to keep her target audience captivated with ...

Rhetorical Analysis of The Ideal English Major

The article The Ideal English Major, by Mark Edmundson, argues against the common idea that an English degree is useless. The author posits that while the current economic downtown has pushed students away from liberal arts studies and towards the hard sciences or business, an English degree is still worthwhile as it teaches students to understand what makes us human. Through reading, people gain a better understanding of different lifestyles and eras and can integrate that knowledge into their day-to-day dealings with other people. Degrees that are thought to be more practical, such as biology or economics, allow students ...

Language is a growing and living phenomenon and is always evolving by borrowing different words from different languages and absorbing them. Globalization is one of the reason languages evolve by being influenced by other languages due to high exposure of foreign countries. The American English is more open and flexible while British English is stricter with its rules, however, it has also evolved during the years and many words from other languages have been seen added to the English dictionaries(Pandey).
A lot of the fairy tales in English have always started off with ‘once upon a time’ which ...

Learning is one of the critical processes that every human being has to undergo in their lives. There are various lessons that one is required to learn in life. Sometimes the process of learning is extremely challenging and difficult to tolerate. There are extreme obstacles that one is required to overcome as they will never lack in any process. Like many people I had an obstacle to overcome and needed extreme conscience to handled them. English was the main obstacle that I felt I needed to overcome.

Abstract
English is not only known to be the most common language in the world today but is also known for the seemingly funny, and unexplainable, intricacies that surround the language. In this paper, we will address the topic of how and why do we come to know of the language as a comical and confusing one and yet manage to attain and retain it at the same time. We will delve on the observations made by Richard Lederer in his essay “English is a Crazy Language” where he opines that there are numerous words in English which will ...

In George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, Eliza Doolittle is initially nothing but a poor girl selling flowers on the street. Due to her incidental presence of Higgins and his bravado in discussing his abilities with Colonel Pickering, Eliza is swept up into a world that she would have been unable to touch without the help of Henry Higgins. Eliza speaks with a Cockney accent, making her incapable of breaking into the more refined world that she dreams of; Higgins takes her in and transforms her into a completely different woman. The transformation is that Eliza goes through not on ...

Response Paper

In the advent of technological sophistication and development in other branches of science, the importance of technical writing and communication cannot be understated. Essentially, technical writing involves the compilation of technical information in a form of writing in a manner that can be easily understood by readers. In most cases, technical information contains words and phrases that cannot be easily understood by all and sundry, and even by people with a background of the topic being discussed in writing.
The concept of Humanistic Rationale for Technical Writing first came into the limelight in 1979 in an article by Carolyn ...

Introduction

Sexism is a major political issue since many centuries. This is assumed to be revealed much in the languages used. Most people consider English to be a sexist language since it is considered man-made and the society is patriarchal. Margaret Piercey has discussed about numerous works by authors like Cameron, Phillipson, Spender, Kramer and Triachlae in her essay “Sexism in the English Language”. In this article, she has tried to portray the fact, how the English language discriminates and marginalizes women in society; how ESL teachers try to educate their students using non-sexist language. English is considered as a ...

English being the Global Language
English is considered as a global language by many people since it has dominated not only the international business, but has invaded media, politics, and culture across the globe. English is considered as the universal language since every person in the entire human history can speak it. It is spoken not only on television by politicians and others from various countries. Even travel signs and advertisements mostly written in English.

Communication is difficult for me a lot of times because I am in English but it is not my first language.

They understand me more easily and I am starting to understand them too. There are still many times when I wish I knew English better though. Speaking English more fluently than I do now would mean many things would ...

Moreover, this is uncertainty and hope that make a dream “dream”.

‘Instructor’s Name’

Comparison & Contrast
The obvious similarity between, Mary Mebane's "The back of the bus," and Amy Tan's "Mother Tongue", is the theme of the problems faced by the racial minority and their plight in America. However if we dwell deep we find that, both the authors have stressed upon the different aspects of this problem, and have taken a different approach in highlighting the sociological implications of racism/ethnicity.
While Mary Mebane has talked about lack of equal status (both legal/social) for American Blacks during the era in which she grew up, Amy Tan’s essay deals with the way in ...

There are many things that go into the consideration of a lesson plan, but perhaps the most important thing is encouraging young students to be both creative and risk-taking with language. Students who are happy to memorize but unwilling to speak in English are not the students who develop the most effective communication skills; perhaps the most important thing in the course of teaching these students is encouraging this creativity in them. Students who are afraid or too embarrassed to speak in class must be treated carefully and encouraged to speak up; this will give them a confidence boost ...

Essay #2: IMAGERY

The Wasteland is presumably the most scholarly rich work of T S Eliot; it teems with literary references, symbolism, and imagery, and it has enormously impacted the English poetry of its time as well. Wasteland is the manifestation and interpretation of the disenchantment the writer encountered about the modern world after the World War I. Eliot communicated his sentiments about the debasement of human qualities and disgraceful state of the civilized world in the post-World War I period. Characteristically, the tone and the subject of the Wasteland are filled with desolate and frightful imagery. Eliot has utilized the literary ...

My Final Writing Reflection

The biggest challenges that I had are arranging ideas to create clear and easy to read essays. On my essay, “Relationship Between Shadow Puppetries and Religions in Different Cultures,” it was hard for me to follow and understand the instructions.

On my essay, “New Prospective View of The Struggle of Naga Tribe with Social, Political, Cultural and Economic Issues,” it is evident that I still had a problem following proper formatting. Nevertheless, I tried my best to minimize my formatting errors. I also come to realize, when I was ...

There are hardly any academic or popular sources today, which encourage a student to memorize textbooks from cover to cover exclusively. It seems that the prevailing part of modern Western society started following a major trend, in which one would not only approve of, but rather advocate for the kind of learning, which happens outside of a classroom. Rightfully so, participating in real-life experiences transforms one’s personality and trains one to confront challenges with courage. Kaye, the author of the book “The complete guide to service learning” masterfully points out that there is a better ...

Though originally a West Germany language, English is presently a global lingua franca following its wide use and the national language of several sovereign states. The knowledge of English has become a basic requirement for a number of professions, fields, and occupations. Its greatest impact is attributed to the reduction of native linguistic diversity across the world hence promoting mutual understanding amongst mankind of different backgrounds (Todd, pg. 7). Like any other discipline, the English language has evolved over time following the contribution of the Greek language. This discussion looks at Greek and Latin plurals borrowed into the English ...

No man is an island. Although it may sound cliche in the modern society that people live in today, this quote bears a big importance in the formation of groups and society. Every individual is unique. Some come from different walks of life, while others are defined by their beliefs and values. There is also the difference brought about by the geographical location where everyone is born, as well as the various ways that individual is raised by their own families. Despite the differences, people became tied together and formed groups because of language. People of the past communicated ...

English is one of the subjects that I have never been good at, and writing is one of the things I used to hate the most. To become a good writer; I need to have best word choices, decent organization, and good ideas in order to support my essay. Given that I am not good at English, it is hard to improve my writing. After I had come to the US, I improved my English a lot especially when I got to English 100 class. This course helped me in improving my writing skills (Johnson-Sheehan 360).

Contrary to the belief of most of the people, the USA had no official language in the country. Though federal legislators have proposed making English the official business language of the country, that legislation never sees the face of the approval. The first ‘English Language Amendment’ (ELA) was introduced by the senator of California, S. I. Hayakawa. However, that amendment was rejected by the Congress. Though this proposal of making English the official language of the USA appeared many a time, it never turned into a law (Brice 2013). There is a huge debate on this issue. This paper ...

The development of English literacy instructional programs has provided teachers the opportunity to inculcate ‘English Literacy Learners (ELLs)’ with appropriate strategic models. Literacy instructional models now embrace an appreciation for cultural diversity. In terms of linguistic variety brought to schools, the concept engages learners to excel in reading, writing, and generally to grasp an appreciation for language diversity in literacy. John McWhorter explains that “growing up in America” advances the notion that any English dialect veering away from the so-called ‘good’ English spoken on TV news programs represents “evidence of grungy mitts” leaving filthy prints on the sanitized “formica ...

Introduction

The rapid advancements in mobile and computing technology in the last decade have resulted in a global network of information. People are now able to access a wealth of data at their fingertips and can communicate with others located remotely nearly anywhere across the globe.

Therefore, the need for in-person communication has lessened, as has the need for speech and therefore the need for ...

Language is the most important thing in communication. There are different types of languages that people develop over time. Language usually helps people to communicate and understand each other. It occurs between two or more people or groups. However, language contact takes place when there is an interaction between one or more languages. This has led to multilingualism where one person gets interested in knowing more than one language and takes the initiative of doing so. This has been well known throughout the human history, and many people have become multilingual in the today world. Language has been known ...

After listening to the Spanish album and more specifically the songs that were done by Enrique Iglesias, I realized that there are certain differences in them. The difference between the Spanish songs and the English were songs were not very many, but a few that existed could be easily seen. There are different aspects through which the differences in them could be observed.
First, there was the issue of length. English songs are moderately short as compared to the Spanish songs. The Spanish songs tend to take a long time. Some go as long as 9 minutes. These were ...

The title gives the reader the idea that this poem is a love song; but The Love Song of J.

Hitchings (4) elucidate that the well-established dictionaries produced by lexicographers in English are within the inner circle depicting England, America, and Australia.

Currently, Lynch (7) observes that there is a global competition in the lexicographic market place where people embrace dictionaries and find it hard to work without them.
