We may attribute the deterioration of English writing with political language. Riddled with so many ambiguous statements, it is commonplace for political language to be written in modernized English. Political statements that are made offer no description of what the statement is truly about, but instead a large labyrinth of words. It is easier to deceive us when statements regarding politics are so vague. Instead of defining an issue, or explaining their intent, the statements they make are often misleading or unidentifiable.
A common theme through Anil's Ghost is violence. Anil Tessera is symbolic of the Western audience, and the inability to understand the trauma due to postcolonialism. Through out the novel, Michael Ondaatjee uses different literary devices to describe trauma, and what it does to victims during civil wars. As a novel focused around historical strife, there is no mention of government and religious factions. Since there is no mention of key factors to point at Sir Lanka, readers are to take the novel as a commentary about several places that experienced post-colonial trauma.
On the other hand, in Sheppard’s translation the language is more like the ones in Shakespearean plays. This makes the latter translation seem more formal and perhaps well-fitted to this particular play. First of all, one could easily notice the differences in diction. Diction in Sheppard’s translation makes the play seem more formal and diction in Fagles’ translation makes it seem more colloquial. In the Sheppard’s translations words used are those that would have appeared in Shakespearean plays.
During the translation step, if you worry too much about grammar and mistakes, longer time would pass by or you would be stuck in the middle of sentences, which would make you even more nervous and forget stuff you already knew. In a conversational communication, the audience would not be easy to follow you or even worse, they would be totally lost. So, try to use simple words and short sentences. Think about meanings more than grammar. As long as you can express your own idea and the listeners can understand what you are saying, that would be fine.
Root simple past pronunciation need needed need /id/ exhaust exhausted exhaust /id/ It is also useful to know about voiced and voiceless consonants in grammar when talking about plurals.

The Humanizing Effects Of Fiction By: Massimo Riccio The major downfall to the essay was the use of evidence and sentence structure. Working on correcting the following areas will help the following: - Correct any run on sentences, which in turn will help the syntax errors in the essay. - The proper use of quotes as evidence will further help readjust and correct other syntax errors caused by misplacement of quotes and evidence. All the corrections being made in the following areas will have universal effects on other criteria used for marking therefore improving many other areas in turn and improving the over all mark received for the essay. Fiction can be a great tool to broaden one’s outlook on the world.
Because of this, authors were more liable to take care with what they wrote. Today, with word processors, and programs to check spelling and grammar, this activity is much less common. Instead of carefully considering both the original words and any correction, the ease with which ideas can be revised allows ideas to be written down without much forethought, as errors are easily dealt with. Technology evolves rapidly and what was considered new and unique becomes old and commonplace. The following three different types of literacy practices are all currently in use: Newspaper vs. Blogs Regular mail and phone are typically used for one-on-one communication.
Similarities and Differences When people begin to compare Vietnamese with English, they will surprisingly realize that these two languages are so different from each other. Taking a closer look at noun phrases, we can find some similarities between the two languages which helps the learners have an insight of the English language.

Additionally, a noun phrase usually needs a pre-modification and a post-modification which effectively elaborates and supplements the head noun.
Phil was asked nicely to find another hotel because the hotel is full and there is no space available for him. The hotel staff could not say that the hotel is off-limit because it would be too obvious. Even though it is not said out loud, this is clearly a form of discrimination because was a treated differently due to his origins. Discrimination can take different shapes and styles, but it is still ugly and should be stopped. I believe that discrimination by gentlemen agreement still occurs in today’s society.
Inflexibility can take the blame for the voice recognition software’s inefficiency. Most people speak faster than they type, so in theory, it should mean that dication must be faster than typing manually. However, these programs’ inaccuracy makes proofreading and correction a vital factor in writing something as simple as a casual e-mail. The program might not recognize different regional accents, deepness in the voice that different people have, and words such as brand names or uncommon names and surnames until you add them to the program’s library of words, either. For example, people who have tried to get “help” from a robotic voice that tried to walk them throught their technological problem via voice commands will know from experience that not much later, they end up screaming “AGENT!!
