Moving to American, I felt as if I needed to embrace my native language, but I also knew that I needed to speak English. The same way as Rodrigues parents pushed him into speaking English at home, my parents did the same way. As I start speaking English more and spending more time at school, I started
In “Why you need Good Grammar” by Michael Kwan, the rhetor is trying to tell his audience that proper grammar is necessary in all scenarios, he states, “Professional business correspondence (including press releases) needs to be impeccable but you should also take a similar level of care to your blogging. Just because the book is called Booher’s rule of Business Grammar doesn’t mean that the rules only apply to the realm of business.” In this quote, Kwan amplifies the importance of good writing in and out of the workplace; he states that just because what you’re writing isn’t going to be presented for business matters, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t take your time to present it with proper grammar. He constantly uses the words “Business” and “Professional” throughout his article to emphasize the importance of proper grammar in the work environment; he uses these words to persuade his reader that in order to be successful in your career you have to be a stickler for traditional grammar rules. Throughout the article he compares grammar mistakes to a small chip on a coffee mug, telling the audience that you might think that one little grammar mistake is not a big deal, but truly it can damage the image of your whole paper. In the cartoon in the Wall Street Journal, the rhetor is trying to tell his audience, most likely aspiring musicians, that to be a successful
The teachers done all kinds of stredegy to engage me on English. As time go by I was not grasping the assignment as quickly as I should have been. Learning how to point out sentence essential and agreements were just another part of English that was getting me prepared for writting skills. After learning several parts of English I started working on establishing a express book to write my thoughts that come to surface in it. Writing in my express book helped me correspond with English in a different way to understand how writing is a way of English taht should be familar.
“One of the first consequences of the discovery of the union was that Jurgis became desirous of learning English. He wanted to know what was going on at the meetings, and be able to take part in them.” (Sinclair 83). Unions would also teach members the way of the democracy versus wherever they were from such as Russia, Germany, and
The advantages of this method of communication is that Samir would find a way to communicate without him, express his feeling and interact more with others. However the disadvantages of British sign language is that it is not suited for people like Samir, as he does not have a hearing impatient, but he is partially sighted so seeing the signs but be a problem.

If I want to teach a topic, I should try to learn as much as I can about it and never stop learning Spanish, this is also one of my goals. Another thing I could learn more about, are teaching methods, and classroom management. I feel that a reason I don’t know too much about teaching is because I haven’t taken enough education classes. I should take more classes on those subjects to improve my subjects. The final thing that I think I need to approve on is
Your proficiency in English is one of the main things that employers pay attention to, when you go for a job interview. If you are qualified in other aspects but you cannot communicate because of your language skills, then you will lose your chance of getting the job. One of the other important aspects of finding a job in Canada is having a good resume. You need to have a good level of English knowledge in order to write an acceptable resume. “If you are having trouble writing your resume or cover letter, or if you are uncomfortable at the thought of negotiating with a potential employer, you will need to improve your language skills” (Cheinis, and Sproule 44).
This is change is crucial to a person establishing normalcy in their life. The assumption that personal choice is used to establish identity may be difficult to argue against the assumption about identity coming from culture. Culture can play a minor role in creating one’s self as states in the essay, “How to Tame a Wild Tongue”, Gloria Anzaldua, (p.77)“I, and all Chicano students, were required to take speech classes. Their purpose: to get rid of our accents.” The accent is part of your culture, your culture is part of your identity. Even though her mother wanted her to speak English to blend in, it was the authors’ decision to hold onto both
Unit one also taught me to reevaluate how important certain priorities when it came to writing. I learned from the other unit one authors, Joseph M. Williams and James E. Porter, that when an essay is read by someone who is looking for grammatical error or plagiarism instead of content, they will often find the error and ignore the content. Although I do still know the importance of grammar and originality, this class and the grading style has let me put those constructs in the back seat until the editing process, instead of making them something I had to constantly worry about. I don’t believe that good writing revolves around grammar, but rather how well your words can convey a message to the intended audiences.
Make sure you know which language a person is comfortable communicating with, a written translation or interpreter may be required especially in serious discussions or communication. You should always use a professional interpreter where possible as it is not always appropriate to use a friend or family member in private matters. Interpreters can be sought through Adult services or the police. You should try and learn essential words in their language or use flashcards to help. Non-verbal communication can help but be careful when using hand gestures as they may be the same in a lot of cultures but may be very offensive in another always research.
