...Interdependence of the SPEAKING components 1. The relationship between S and other components The relationship between S and P The large factory allow the accommodation of great number of audience and cadidates. The relationship between S and E The informality contributes to jokes made by MCs for entertainment. Thus, it fulfills the purpose of the audience to kill time by watching the show. The relationship between S and A Subject to the low formality, the order of certain parts of speech acts is not fixed. For example, the sequence of talent show, swimsuit show and question and answer session can be arranged randomly. Moreover, the low formality leads to the fact that not all sessions of show are compulsory to the entirety of this TV program. For example, the session of resurrection of candidates appears only in several years. However, overall speaking, this event somewhat follows a logical order. It starts with lower order actions and ends with higher order actions. By starting with the introduction of candidates which is followed by shows, voting and finally prize presentation, it allows audience to have a brief understanding of the candidates at the beginning of the show. In terms of the setting of the event, since the area outside the factory is spacious, its allows the placement of red carpet so that candidates can walk through it to enter the stage at the beginning of the contest. The relationship between S and K The event is relatively informal...

...benefits and plays a larger role in general education. Music education has been noticed for quite some time as a form of expression and a universal language of sorts, thus expressing the importance of music in the lives of children. In recent history, music’s importance in cognitive development and impact on education in other courses has emphasized the need to continue music as part of a general education curriculum. Music helps with listening and language skills. Through music, children learn to hear different sounds, beats and melodies. The many different tones and beats help with speech and hearing development. If you have a beat to sing words to, it makes reading poems and rhymes much easier for some students. Music encourages movement and activity. Most children, even many adults, when they hear a good beat or song, they start tapping their feet, shaking their leg, clapping their hands or want to get up and dance. At risk children can also become positively affected when music education is implemented in their lessons. It can help these children transition from one activity to another by singing songs like “Time to go to Lunch” and “Clean-up”. By singing, it takes the stress off of the children who have problems transitioning from one activity to...

...Rett Syndrome Rett Syndrome first discovered by Dr Andreas Rett, a pediatrician in Vienna, Austria in 1954. He first noticed two girls in his waiting room with their mothers where he observed them making repetive ‘hand-washing’ motions. He later compared with his clinical and development histories and discovered there were more girls with similar symptoms. In 1966 Dr Rett published his findings in several German medical journals which at the time it was well known to that part of the world however it remained in the backwaters of medical concern to the rest of the world even after he has published the disease in English in 1977 due to lack of electronic informations were rarely available. A break through in 1983 as an artical on Rett syndrome appeared in the mainstream of english journal finally raised the profile of Rett Syndrome and put it on the radar screen of many more investigators-this finally a break through and recognised this syndrome, it was therefore named after the doctor whom first discovered and named Rett syndrome. Rett syndrome often misdiagnosed with autism, it is a unique developmental disorder that is first recognized in infancy and almost exclusively in females although it can occur rarely in boys. It is found in all racial and ethnic groups throughout the world. It occurs worldwide in 1 of every 10,000 to 23,000 females births. Rett syndrome is not a degenerative disorder, but rather is a neurodevelopmental disorder. Barring illness or complications...

...some lime-green panels to it that made her look “out of this world”, Uncle Rawhiri said. Which was really funny because the dress was red. My dad was also there. But paka wasn’t. But it didn’t matter, because he could always come later and listen to my speech at the end. The school break-up ceremony was going to be held on a Friday evening, and I had sent out invitations to EVERYBODY in the family, including Koro and his boys to the ceremony. I made sure to remind them to not wear leather jackets to the ceremony, and especially to NOT park the motorbike in the headmaster’s parking space again. I was so embraced last year... When I saw my uncle and Nani, I asked Nani if I could fix her hat in the back seat, and outside the window, I saw Uncle laughing really hard while I fixed Nani’s hat. I don’t know why he was laughing though, because I didn’t find anything wrong with Nani’s outfit. As it turns out, the correct word was ‘embarrassed’, not ‘embraced’. Whoops.. I was so excited for the whole performance; with the school choir, skits and gymnastics, and the neat clothes, I wasn’t really paying attention to the words for the invitation. And especially because my paka is coming to watch, I’m super excited because my speech later in the ceremony is for him. Anyway, I lead Uncle, Nani and Dad to the hall, which was full of people already, where their seats were. I showed them the sign that I made for Koro’s seat, which says ‘reserved’ on it. Somehow their faces turned from...

...describing the uniqueness of the early African American language, as the roots for the spiritual and the secular forms of the African American vernacular. But for one to understand the African American vernacular, one must understand how the language was created. The language of the early Africans that occupied north America was unique to only this ethical group, because they where the only forms of Africans in that time that spoke a kind of language that was broken English or formally called “Pidgin” which is known as the language of the slaves. Lets take a look at the active definition for pidgin, so we can come to a clear understanding of the word before we progress further in the paper: “A simplified form of speech that is usually a mixture of two or more languages, has a rudimentary grammar and vocabulary, is used for communication between groups speaking different languages, and is not spoken as a first or native language. Also called contact language.”(pidgin online) so contact language is the language first spoken or developed when the Africans where first In America. The language was created due to the direct result of the times being that Africans by law where not allowed to be educated or to be treated like anything other then a slave, no social interactions revolving relations, only a master, slave relationship. So these are all some factors that lead into why the language was not learned traditionally through the use of public...

...Hamlet review and critique On Sunday October 26, 2003 at 2:00 PM I saw Hamlet the play at Cal State Fullerton campus in the Little Theatre. Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, is a tragic play consisting of numerous deaths. The deaths that took place played a very important role in the unfolding of the play. From viewing this play the audience can almost guess who was going to die. A prince named Hamlet is the main character. Hamlet planned to take over the throne in Denmark, but treachery would spoil all of Hamlet's plans. The King, Hamlet's father, was found dead. Hamlet was devastated when he learned of his father's death, but what made him more uneasy was the fact that Gertrude, Hamlet's mother, remarried so quickly to the brother of the dead King. The brother would be the one who would betray Hamlet. Horatio, a loyal friend to Hamlet, was on night watch outside the castle, he told the prince of an incident when they saw an apparition who resembled King Hamlet. Hamlet came out the next night hoping to see the ghost. Sure enough, the ghost appeared and called to Hamlet, wanting to speak with him. The spirit talked about how Claudius poisoned the King while he was sleeping. The spirit wanted the prince to avenge his murder. All was quiet in the kingdom until the start of Hamlet's supposed insanity. The Prince was with his mother talking when the prince noticed someone in the room. Hamlet thought it was Claudius, and killed him. Hamlet did...

...My teacher, Mrs. Sharon Whitley, said that I needed to be there and my parents were invited too. In our way to the invitation, I was telling my family that I don’t wanted to go because we are always sitting down and clapping for the other students and we never get something. When we enter the room, I was astonished because of the elegant place, but fearful at the same time because only adults were there and I was expecting kids. Once we found a place to sit, the president began the speech. I wasn’t really paying attention because I was for the kids. Afterward, I got tired of waiting and not being courteous. They announced the counselor of the month. Then I heard, “when shinning a light on Esmeralda, one finds her to be inspiration not only to other ESL students, but to all her peers.” Suddenly the president called my name to go in front and to shake all the board member’s hand. When he placed the most precious recognition I have had, I felt so joyful and blessed with my parents and every teacher that supported me in all aspects of my education and personal...

...4: There are three main types of autism which include Autistic Disorder which is what most people think of when they hear the word “Autism.” Those with this type of disorder may have troubles with language delays and may be verbal or non-verbal. This means that they may have a hard time expressing how they feel using their words, as some do not speak or have a very large vocabulary. Non-verbal children’s goals tend to focus more on expressing their wants and needs through the use of P.E.C’s, which will be discussed later on in this presentation. Social and communication can also be a struggle for someone with Autistic Disorder, and usually have “unusual behaviours.” Many of these behaviours can include rocking back and forth, tapping or clapping, making noises, spelling certain words repeatedly, and my personal favourite, calculating dates. In my own personal experiences, I remember one girl I worked with who had Autistic Disorder. Her first question for me was when my birthday was. I told her that my birthday was January 17th, 1996. In a split second, she told me that I was twenty-two and that I was born on a Wednesday. I checked, and it turns out that I was born on a Wednesday! Months later I returned to the school, not expecting anyone to remember me. The same girl looked at me and said, “You’re twenty-two years old and you were born on a Wednesday.” Even though it was months, she somehow remembered my birthday just by looking at my face. The second type of autism is Asperger...

...physiology, and nonverbal. You can communicate by using your body by looking and smiling at somebody. A person can send conflicting verbal and non-verbal communications. For example, a person can tell you that they are mad but they are smiling at you. This happening is where the saying originated: “Actions speak louder than words”. When a person sits too close to you and you take a step back you are communicating demonstratively that someone is invading your space. Also, when a person dresses formally that is demonstrative communication. The body language of a person is the physiological part of communication. For example, if a person turns there back on the other person that sends a message that they do not want to communicate. People use hand gestures to say hello and goodbye and that is communication as well. The tone of the voice is a nonverbal communication. A person can make their tone of their voice serious and that is demonstrative communication. Effective ways for a sender and a receiver to communicate in a demonstrative way would be to send the right message, making sure the message received is correct and making sure it is comprehended and understood by the other person...

The mother squeezed her daughter’s hand. She needed to feel something. Edwin took in another breath, he seemed nervous, and continued, “No matter what battle confronts us we will rise above it. Today is a sad day, but we are united together and we will conquer whatever our new world throws at us. Because today is the start of a new future for all of us. Finally, we are united! Do not forget the past, but do not hold on to it either. Learn from it!” The speech continued. Edwin talked about unity and how we have come together in a dark time, that soon would turn into something worth...

...others have larger sized brains that average. These neurological deformations contribute to the persons over or under active senses. Something as simple as a tag on the back of a shirt might feel like sandpaper to them, and some may find ordinary noises painful to hear. Some things that would regularly be very painful to one person might be even more or less painful to them. Music provides auditory, visual and tactile stimulation. The rhythm of music is very organizing for the sensory systems of autistic people. Hearing the same beat repeatedly is helpful to a person's walking stride or gait. Music therapy strategies can address poor balance and and coordination issues. The different activities such as dancing, clapping and rhythmic movements help establish a better hand eye...

...Paul Lee Professor Askren English 100 March 7, 2012 Censorship Suppression of information and ideas by anyone, whether it be government officials, writers, or artists, censorship is what blankets the world from seeing what the truth really is. Media and ads in various forms are forced to be careful what they air to the public. With the growth of technology and the expansion of resources available via the Internet: Email, World Wide Web, and Video-Chatting, the amount of censorship throughout the world has increased drastically over the years. Every nation on Earth has a certain form of censorship that ranges from the extreme to the not so extreme. The United States and most European nation’s censorship level is the least compared to that of other countries. Nations where foundations are shaky and don’t have a strong central government is where censorship really takes it tolls. Countries like DPRK (North Korea), Pakistan, Burma, Syria, Cuba, Iran, and China must abide by what the dictator wants the people to see and not, by the use of extreme bias. Along with the international community and its government using censorship, the decision of censoring something can also be made by an individual aside from the government. Individuals that might be biased with is or her own thoughts. Censorship decisions might be illogical, unfair, unconstitutional, or in some cases just immoral. People tend to want to censor everything that they personally don’t tend to agree with. Corporations...

...The article “Business is Show Business: Management Presentations as Performance” written by Brigitte Biehl-Missal is the result of a study done by the author from 2003 to 2009 of annual general meetings (AGM), press conferences and analyst meetings. The purpose of this study was to compare and contrast these types of organizational meetings/communications with the theatre and to understand more about how all of the elements that go into a meeting impact the final results and participants perception of the meeting. Important to note is how theatre techniques are used in performance situations to create experiences because “…aesthetic techniques increasingly are employed in organizations for controlling and influencing employee behaviors and external audiences.” At these major corporate functions, what could be considered unimportant details by some (lighting, colors, stage presence, and proximity to name a few) could influence the outcome of the meeting and help to determine whether the audience hears the intended message or takes away a completely different experience. This “theatre theory” discussed by Biehl-Missal focuses on elements that are typically thought to be part of dramatic activities such as scenography, lighting system and music, clothing, style of performing, and rhetoric. The article discusses how at AGMs, management can use a white spotlight on the speaker to give the impression of truth or trustworthiness. In contrast, management could cast the audience...

...at this point that the first symptoms typically occur. Symptoms in children with classic RETT Syndrome occur in four stages. The first stage, called early onset, starts when the affected child is between six and eighteen months old. At this point, the child will begin to regress, losing developmental milestones such as maintaining eye contact (Neul). Children also become more irritable and may cry for hours inconsolably for no reason. They start to lose interest in toys. Stage two is called rapid destruction and occurs between one and four years of life. “Affected individuals begin to lose previously acquired skills, specifically spoken language and hand skills” (Neul). Stereotypical hand movements are also prominent during this stage. These hand movements include hand wringing or squeezing, clapping, rubbing, hand washing, or hand to mouth movement. A smaller than normal head size is also one of the first main signs of RETT Syndrome and is noticeable in this stage. Children’s ability to crawl and walk also begins to decrease. Breathing irregularities begin in this stage, including breath holding, hyperventilation, and swallowing air. The third stage is called plateau and occurs between two and ten years of age....

...called on-set and it begins between the ages of 6-18 months. Since the symptoms of this early age it’s usually unnoticed, the symptoms of the disorder is usually unclear that the parents and the doctors may not notice it right away. Some things that usually happen to the kid is slow eye contact, reduced interest in toys, delays in motor skills, decreased head growth, and it usually last for a few months to a year. The second stage is the faster damaging stage. They start to get it between 1to 4 years old and it lasts for weeks or months. Being able to use their hand and speak skills will disappear slowly; they will start to lose that capability. In this stage they also start to do hand movements to the mouth and other characteristic hand movements will also begin to take place such as; washing, tapping and clapping. Children do these movements all the time but when they are asleep is the only time that they aren’t doing any hand movements. Apnea and hyperventilation will occur in this stage as well, but breathing while they are sleeping does improve. Social communication and interaction is not a thing that they will adapt to as much. As far as walking abilities, children will have difficult with it, they’re walks will be unsteady. Pseudo-Stationary stage is the third stage that can start within the ages 2 to 10 and can last for many years. The female’s behaviors start to change and they make a better improvement. The types of behaviors that are noticeably changed are that they’re...
