...Why English is important IF YOU are currently learning English in a school, college or institute of further education, you join approximately one billion other people around the world who are engaged in the same pursuit. However, as you try to memorise proper grammar, and try to avoid the mistakes common to most students of English, you may wonder why you are learning the language in the first place. So, why is English important? After Mandarin, English is spoken by more people than any other language, and is the native language of more than 350 million people. More people speak English than those who speak the Arabic and French languages combined. Moreover, English is the international language of diplomacy, business, science, technology, banking, computing, medicine, aviation, UN & NATO armed forces, engineering, tourism, Hollywood films and arguably the best pop and rock music in the world. English has plenty of words to choose from. In fact, an English speaker is offered the biggest vocabulary of any language with a choice of 500,000 to 1,000,000 words (including technical and scientific terms). But don’t panic, most English speakers do very well with a vocabulary of around 20,000 words. English can be fun too. For instance, the music of such stars as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson and Madonna has encouraged fans to speak the language of their idols, whilst others have enrolled in English classes to improve their understanding...

...Appropriate spelling is required in an essay, a letter, and even on tests. The main concern is, does it really matter? A large number of people would contemplate the thought of spelling as something that is not so essential. Although numerous amount of people would argue against that claim. Learning to spell correctly is indeed exceptionally critical. Several people would presume that spelling makes one seem intelligent, even more literate. To get children with good spelling and have them more confident while writing an essay they should be utilizing accurate grammar, and spelling. In the article ‘How important is good spelling really?’ by James Clements, Clements quotes “If they are constantly stopping to think about how words are spelled while they write, it can interrupt the flow of their thoughts, taking them away from what we want them to be thinking about: their choice of words and how they construct those words into sentences that communicate exactly what they want to say.” Not only can substandard spelling confuse students during essays, but it also has to power to...

BY “Sometimes you have to look back in order to understand the things that lie ahead.” Y Woon The initial consultation before therapy is one of the most important parts of the whole procedure, as this will form the basis of therapy. This Essay is written to address some of the ethical issues which may arise at the time of the initial consultation. It is the most important meeting and these issues addressed should be of benefit to both parties. I will, in this essay, discuss and explain what should happen during the meeting and highlight some of the ethical issues. This initial meeting is also to ascertain personal circumstance and the communication and understanding between client and therapist. The initial consultation is to find out why the client feels he/she needs therapy and to establish a rapport. As it is the first meeting it is good to determine the continuing relationship which will progress during the therapy. When a therapist first meets with a new client it’s necessary to establish several things in order to know whether they can work together. These include background and personal circumstances of the client, previous experiences (if any) of therapy, medical and psychiatric history and very importantly, why they are seeking therapy. From the therapist side of things it is a means of assessing...

...07-02-2014 Module Three. MAIDSIA14: word count 1996 Why Is The Initial Consultation So Important? What factors will an ethical therapist cover at this time? When a person has a specific problem, whether it is a fear or phobia or something they wish to change about themselves, one of their options is to use a hypnotherapist to help them overcome their problem. During the first consultation, the therapist will address the client’s specific needs by conducting an assessment. The assessment is the fundamental base line from which the therapist will use the information needed to design a program specifically tailored for a particular client. During this essay I hope to deliver the importance of the initial consultation between therapist and client including the ethical factors. I would like to discuss the process, what happens at the initial consultation, and how the therapist will gather the required information. I also aim to explore the benefits and use a debate for the more complex ethical issues that therapists face. As well as discovering the reason why the prospective client has thought about hypnotherapy, the therapist is also judging their skills for the appropriate job at hand, and that the client’s goals are obtainable. The initial consultation can be a very powerful tool for both the client and the therapist. First impressions will be formed during the initial conversation which can be in person or over the...

...Slavery began thousands of years ago when war captives and fugitives were forced to do labor under their ancient societies’ leaders. Even though slavery had existed for so long, it became most severe and serious in Africa. Initially slaves in Africa consisted of criminals or citizens from enemy tribes and were not very numerous. But as sugar demand increased and the Europeans made their first visit to Africa with their valuable goods, little by little slave trade began. After centuries of slave trade, starting in the 1700’s a vast majority began to realize how immoral and cruel it was. Slavery Abolitionists were able to prevail mainly because of Church Reform and American Revolution which encouraged them by showing them that they were not alone and change was needed, now. These people promoted and spread the importance of human rights and freedom for all. The spirit and determination of the Abolitionist were improved by Reforms and the American Revolution because they aided them in spreading their opinions effectively and widely. In 1774, during the same time period as the growing American revolutionary fervor and various Reforms (Protestant and Church), Methodist leader John Wesley began to speak up against slave trade....

...live. Now I could say the hell with ‘em, I don’t care if they don’t like it. I do say I don’t care if they don’t like it, right enough- but I don’t say the hell with ‘em, see? I try to give ‘em a reason, you see. It helps folks if they can latch onto a reason. When I come to town, which is seldom, if I weave a little and drink out of this sack, folks can say Dolphus Raymond’s in the clutches of whiskey- that’s why he won’t change his ways. He can’t help himself, that’s why he lives the way he does” (268). Mr. Dolphus Raymond only uses the “drinking problem” to hide himself from the questions and judgement of society. Married to a black woman, and having mixed children, Mr. Dolphus Raymond intentionally carries out this drunken deception, so that people would have a reason to identify the prejudice against him, and a reason for his “wrongdoing”. Harper Lee uses Tom Robinson a black man as the first mockingbird because of the convicted crime, something he was innocent on. She also portrays Boo Radley as the second mockingbird because he was always thought to be a crazy man whom everyone was intimidated of, but he was never guilty for many rumors pinned against him. Lastly, Lee demonstrates the meaning of the mockingbird using Mr. Dolphus Raymond as the final example, who used alcohol as an excuse to escape from reality, because he is misunderstood by the society. To kill a mockingbird is to destroy innocence, because all mockingbirds do is make wonderful music for us to hear. ...

...The Japanese invaded New Guinea in 1942, putting Australia in a position where they were desperate. Mainland Australia was at stake, as the small and soldiers who had been poorly trained, were up against the Japanese army who previously, had never been defeated. The bravery and conditions of fighting in both armies, and the victory that saved Australia are why the Kokoda track is important in Australian history today. The true ANZAC spirit was shown in this battle, as the Australian army was vastly outnumbered and the conditions were horrible. They were fighting through jungles and mountain terrains, making the battle harder than it actually was. These men were also starving and their living conditions weren't good. By 1942 the Japanese had control over most of the Pacific region and New Guinea was the last place between the Japanese and Australia. If the Japanese had won the battle, they would’ve had control over Australia, hence, this battle “saved Australia”. Australia seemed to be in serious threat, as Australia’s allies had been destroyed, making it an easy target. The Japanese were becoming...

...ARPU, average revenue per user, and MOU, minutes of use, are two units of measurements telecom companies use to measure performance. These units of measurements indicate how well a business is performing, for example, ARPU displays the amount of money specific consumers spends on products or services. Usually, APRU is used for multiple combinations of product consumption, like combinations can include voice calling, text messaging and a data plan. MOU, on the other hand, measures on average how long each a consumer uses a product or service per month. MOU permits telecoms to produce appropriate pricing based on how much the user consumes on a monthly basis. Most businesses are capable of generating packages and promotions based on the consumers demand. With this, businesses can build better packages to make it more appealing to their customers, at the same time this helps increase their revenue. Hangzhou City Branch used both the ARPU and MOU to evaluate the performance of various campaigns to better understand which campaigns were effective and which needed to be eliminated. The use of EDW and OLAP, allowed the city learned that physical outlets and call centers were the most successful channels to make sales. Incorporating what they’ve learned, Hangzhou had more employees at it’s’ call centers. This resulted in a huge increase from 2 to 30 perfect in success rate (Whang 8).

...primitive, or barbaric. God carefully devised them as teaching tools to those under the Old Covenant, who looked forward to the full revelation of the object of His law, and to those of us under the New Covenant, who look back on it. There are five different kinds of offerings given within the first 6 chapters of Leviticus. Beyond this the first seventeen chapters of Leviticus are devoted to explaining the occasions for, and the correct procedures to be followed in, sacrifice. It is clear then that Sacrifice is important to Leviticus’ presentation of Israel’s worship. We will look at the five types of worship and summaries for each of them, why they play an important part. The burnt sacrifice shown in Leviticus one is the most important of all the sacrifices offered to God. This is mainly because it expressed dedication. This sacrifice, unlike any other, was wholly consumed and is also described as the whole burnt offering. Offerings would be graded in value so that even the poorest worshippers might find access to God by coming in complete devotion. The sacrifices signified that the whole of man, for whom the sacrifice was offered, was to be entirely offered or devoted to God's service. It is amusing that the meat offering in Leviticus 2 was the one offering that did not consist of meat. The proper translation is “meal offering,” which would be an offering of grain or cereals made of fine flour. The word translated ‘meat’ in Hebrew simply means a present. The primary...
