a) Use bias free language. To use bias free language is to remain in the middle ground of an argument. To write bias free means that you write without being for or against something, you give facts and present them without giving your opinion. Some examples are: You are asked to write a paper about the possible medical outcomes of having a abortion. To write bias free you would have to write the entire paper without putting in your opinion about abortion. So instead of saying --abortions can have many lasting medical side affects and it’s wrong so people shouldn’t even consider them-- you should write – abortions when done in unclean condition can have many long term negative affects— You are writing about whether crunchy peanut butter …show more content…
b) Pay attention to the connotative meaning of words. Paying attention to the connotative meaning of words means that when writing a paper or any kind of message you have to be careful to use/not use words that have their deffinition along with a different meaning. There are negative and positive connotative meanings and you should always be careful that you are getting the correct meaning across. Home, home has different meanings along with its deffinition. The deffinition is a place where a faminly resides, but when you say home it usually gives an impression of a warm loving happy place. Or it can also mean an institution for people needing help. Another connotative word is retarded. Retarded actually means a person with a disability but people use the word to put down others. Someone says “you’re retarded”, they usually do not mean they think you have a disabilit but that you did something unintelligent. c) Balance abstract and concrete terms to convey your meaning …show more content…
The forest has mainly oak and berch trees and the leaves change throughout the fall. d) Avoid cliches and trendy buzz words (slang). To avoid cliches and trendy slang means that you do not use words that teenagers in highschool are using, you speak like a perfecional and speak english properly like an adult. Avoiding cliches is important because if you over use cliché sayings it sounds like you cannot speak for your self and are not unique. Some examples: You are writing an email to someone you work with. You do not start the email by saying Whats up?! You say hello, how are you today? Two people are applying for the same job and have to write a paper aboutwhy they want the job and think they deserve it. Of one person uses slang and writes like he does not really care and thinks he will be hired anyways and the other person uses profecional language and is respectful it is more likely the respectful, profecin sounding person will receive the job. e) Use plain language for clarity. Using plain language for clarity is important when writing because you do not want to confuse your readers or make them feel like they are not as

In terms of writing, the words “They Say” are the ideas and views of others, that must be paid attention to by the writer. While the inverse term, “I Say” is talking in terms of your personal opinion. A perfect example in which both techniques are used would be through writing an argumentative essay. When using what “They Say” in your writing you may either quote what was said or summarize in your own words. By using this skill you can prove your statement to be correct, and to persuade the reader to agree with your views. I find that the best time to use what “They Say” is before presenting my argument to the reader. Using what “I Say” can sometimes be harder because the stipulations increase on the writer. While staying respectful
The quote's definition is that language cannot be fully understood without looking at the social context in which it is used. The meaning of the words is dependent on the social environment. Crystal (2016) stated that when English is taken to a different country, in come the 'loan' words from other people in the country, and which makes English language hard to understand for native speak people. Choosing the right words, grammar and pronunciation all reveal what kind of people belong to which group in society. It also depends on what belief or background the person is from and what kind of home environment they live in. Geiger (2014) stated that "language means something slightly different to each person" (para. 2). Everyone has a different
An example of denotative and connotative meanings, is that the word “home denotes a place where someone lives, but it connotes warmth, security, family, comfort, affection, and other more private thoughts and images” (287). Another example, is that
In the second edition of the twentieth volume Oxford English dictionary, there are 171,476 words. Words such as dull, illogical, stupid, foolish, and absurd. Yet, the word retarded is still being used as a verb to describe a person or event that is thought to be as ridiculous. Using the word retarded is degrading to people apart of the down's syndrome community. In the dictionary, the word retarded is an adjective used to describe a person that is less advanced in mental, physical, or social development than is usual for one’s age. So, incorrectly calling an object retarded is demeaning and hurtful to those who are mentally delayed. There are both negative and positive aspects of being in this discourse community, and before one can become apart of this community, they must first become literate of the communication that occur in the community.
Retard “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”; one of the most inaccurate sayings of all time. Words can have a huge emotional impact on people and often negatively affect their self-esteem. Since the word retard is becoming more and more common in our society’s everyday language, many people do not realize how offensive the word actually is. Throughout the years, retard has had multiple definition changes. The word retard came about from the medical term mental retardation, defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, as a “sub average intellectual ability.manifested especially by delayed or abnormal development, by learning difficulties, and by problems in social adjustment”.
Many people have very different perceptions of the word home. While some think of home as a place, others describe it as a person or a feeling. People in different situations often have unlike views on the topic. For example, in the short story The Smell of Home by Chika Unigwe the author feels that home is in his wife and makes this realization when forced into a situation where he must move away. On the other hand, the article “After a lifetime of loss, refugee finds a new home in Buffalo” from the Buffalo News very much considers home a place you make for yourself. The true meaning of home is a feeling of comfort and relaxation.
The point of English classes in high schools all around the world is to read passages, books, and article with the purpose of increasing teenagers’ literacy. Students who read the same books in high school only have a limited range of vocabulary and literacy. This would lead to them having lower IQ levels and a low range of vocabulary. I believe that English schools should incorporate a wider range of texts and passages in order to make teenagers all around the world smarter.
Did you know that it takes about 1 hour for 3 people to scrape gum in 1 classroom? Well, there are 3 reasons this gum policy: costly gum removal, parents complain about gum on their children’s shoes, clothes, and hair and the parents are not happy about the cleaning bills. There was a questionnaire given to one class in grades 5-8 and 3 of the questions were: how often do you chew gum at school, how do you discard your used gum, and why do you think students put gum under chairs and desks? Do I agree with this ban? No, I don’t agree with this policy because there was never a time when gum was allowed at school so the ban is based on guesswork. The guesswork was that if gum was allowed, kids would put it on desks and chairs.
Are people always doing the right thing? A person is able to perform an act to better themselves and their community around them. They believe in that action, that everything around them is for good. Anne Frank’s statement, that people are truly good at heart, is true. The current generation and the past generation have had its faults, its own troubles, and events, just like the Holocaust and the recent Florida school shooting. Yet, there is always good in the world, no matter the evil. During challenging times, people will come together to help one another, and try to make a difference in the world. People will sacrifice their own for others. People have the ability to change their mind from thinking of the worst in people
