first part, Chris Smith and Dave Howard use stress on subject-specific lexis, for example: “double-dip recession”, “count”, and “business”. These are all related somehow to money, emphasising the topic on this section of Newsbeat – money issues, these words would be the ones that the audience would pay more attention to, thus knowing the topic, they could be used to attract a certain audience to keep listening – if they were interested in this topic. Smith also uses emphatic stress on “bad” and…
some games are in fact more important than others. With this in mind, there is one particular matchup that can trump all others, which is undoubtedly one against a rival. The Toronto Maple Leafs-Montreal Canadiens rivalry is well known to be the longest and most…
North America. This theory is that there used to not be water between these two continents, and the first people to come to America was on accident, due to exploration for hunting purposes. If this were true it would be an answer to one of Americas longest standing questions. Where did the Native Americans come from? The Bering Land Bridge is still only a theory, however if true, its reflects were Americas first settlers arrived from and supports facts of continental migration, a widely known…
piece although contradicting my previous statement of not wanting to do generic pieces, this piece help me prove to myself that I was capable of writing college ready essays. This piece being apart of two classes, my AP English and writing, this was my longest piece, showing growth in word count, but also being able to properly form opinions and back them up with evidence. Having two classes to work on this, really allowed me to dive deep with this piece and receive a lot of feedback and…
Beowulf, written in Old English, provided a vivid glimpse into the early medieval past. The vocabulary that was portrayed in this poem seemed old fashion to its very first audience (Beowulf). With 3000 lines long, Beowulf became the longest epic poem in Old English. The first-recorded known owner of the manuscript was Laurence Nowell. He was a pioneer of the study of Old English that inscribed his name at the top of the manuscript’s first page. Nowell died in the year of 1570. The Cotton…
goal for this course is to write fast and naturally. Personally, writing in English is a time-consuming and stressful job for me. It takes me more time time than domestic students to write an essay. A lot of times, I sit in front of my computer for hours trying to figure out what I should write for my next sentence. Even though I thought of what to write in Korean, sometimes it takes me awhile to translate it into English. For these reasons, I sincerely want to write my assignments faster and…
“Dude, those were the longest three hours of my life!” Troy exclaimed. “They went by so quickly for me! But then again, we watched a movie in English, so...” Sandy smirked, unpacking her lunch. I grinned, reaching into my bag for my usual packed lunch, but came up empty. “My dad forgot to pack my lunch,” I groaned, “Now I have to find Grayson.” “Again?!” Gabe asked, “Where is your freak of a twin anyway?” I glared at him as soon as the words escaped his mouth. “Excuse you?” I raised by…
told once again that we are moving. The idea I am trying to express throughout the poem is that moving houses and schools regularly can be difficult to tolerate. Ask teacher what to write. Poem WE ARE MOVING?! URGH! WHY NOW? How can 6 letters, a word that takes under 1 second to say Change my life, my emotions and just change everything so much? When my parents say we’re moving again all I really hear is: New friends, new school… Will I even make friends? Great. I’ll have to awkwardly…
Gulliver as ploy to mock European politics using events taken around the time of the novel’s creation. Mentions of English politics and how much politics actually have a hold on England is slipped under the rug, that being said, the political jargon is used to address a more serious matter. The governments and their inhabitants Gulliver encounters are a representation of the English and how they come to terms living with it. The first point used by Swift is to acknowledge the fact that…
