...better understand sentence structure. You’ll need to have a working knowledge of subjects, predicates, and objectsbefore you continue. Clauses A clause is a subject and a predicate working together. Examples I took the dog to the park. The example has one subject, I, and one predicate, took. Since they are working together to form a comprehensible sentence, this sentence has one clause. I love learning, so I spend a lot of time reading. This example has two predicates: love and spend. Since they are each working together with separate subjects, this sentence has two clauses. Phrases A phrase is a group of words related to the subject, predicate, or object. Phrases do not contain a subject and a predicate, or we would call them clauses. Phrases provide additional information about subjects, predicates, and / or objects, and understanding how they work is helpful to building an analyzing sentences. Examples After working late into the night, Jack fell asleep on his desk. The emboldened portion of the sentence exemplifies the phrase. It provides additional information about our subject, Jack, but the sentence does not require this information to be grammatically complete. I left my keys inside of the Whole Foods, my favorite grocery store. In this example sentence, the predicate is left and the subject is I. On the other side of the sentence we have a phrase that provides additional information about the object of the sentence Whole Foods. Note that a phrase can come at...

...Federal Investigations Notice No tice No. 06-07 Date: August 29, 2006 Subject: Coverage Changes for Access National Agency Check with Inquiries (ANACI) and National Agency Check with Law and Credit (NACLC) Investigations for FY 2007 The Federal Investigative Services Division (FISD) has been working with a stakeholders group, representing many of the agencies that use OPM investigations, to create more uniform and efficient investigative products and services. As a result, the coverage requirements for ANACI and NACLC investigations have been enhanced to support a common content baseline for all agencies. Note that these enhancements apply only to those ANACI and NACLC cases submitted on an SF 86. The purpose of this FIN is to provide you with information concerning what case coverage changes have been made. The case price adjustments necessary to support these changes will be reflected in the FY 2007 case prices. ANACIINACLC Cases Currently, listed and developed issues which are identified in ANACI and NACLC cases (for non-DoD customers) are not pursued beyond the normal scope of the investigation. These cases are returned to the requesting agency so that the agency may decide whether to adjudicate the case based upon the information in hand, conduct additional follow-up themselves, or request a Reimbursable Suitability Investigation (RSI) from FISD to cover the additional issues. Beginning with FY 2007, expansion of these issues will become a standard part of both the ANACI...

...Grammar notes: relative clauses Definition A relative clause is a part of a sentence beginning with a relative pronoun (although this pronoun can be omitted in certain cases). For example: The company where I worked is called International Enterprises Plc. The man who went into the baker's bought a loaf of bread. My sister, who lives near London, is coming to visit me soon. Basic relative pronouns The relative pronoun you use depends on the thing you're talking about. Generally speaking, the most basic ones are these: for people for things for places for reasons for times who/that which/that where why when Who, which and that cannot be used indiscriminately. That can only be used in defining relative clauses. Trickier relative pronouns Four relative pronouns often seem to confuse people, but they're easy to use too. WHICH This can be used to refer to the whole part of the sentence that went before. Usually a pronoun refers to a noun, but this refers to more. For example: I've broken my leg, which means I can't walk. I've still got some money left, which is surprising. WHOM This is hardly ever used in spoken English, and not often in written English. It sounds very formal to most people. If you're going to use it at all, then only use it after prepositions. Even so, there's usually another less formal way to say the same thing. For example: The woman to whom he was talking is his sister. The woman that he was talking to is his sister. WHOSE This is used to show...

...to the function and the use of the passive voice in Czech. As research material I have chosen the short stories by the American writer O. Henry and their Czech translations by Stanislav Klíma. The reasons why I have chosen the genre of a short story are that it is noted for the unity of time, place and action. I believe that due to this fact, the results of my research will give higher evidence of the use of the passive voice since the basis for comparison is unified and compact contrary to, for example, a novel. For the same reason of evidence, I explore just the translations of one translator, since everyone has his/her personal style and different way of thinking and understanding of original text. I am interested in the issue of information packaging, especially in the different ways of expressing one and the same reality in the two languages: when both active and passive versions are formally permitted, what factors favour the choice of one over other? The passive voice is a phenomenon which is involved both in English and in Czech but in unlike extent. As far as I know, the passive voice is a favourite means of expression in English whereas in Czech its usage is not so popular. In view of this fact, I suppose that the results will work this way. The thesis is divided into two main parts which are interlinked, and complement each other. The first part deals with the theoretical knowledge about the passive voice in English as well as in Czech, whereas in the second part...

...Persuasion is a definite aspect of education, both in a professor’s teaching methods and the students’ assignments for the teacher. Professors use various techniques of persuasion to influence and impart knowledge to their students on the subjects in which they are an authority to change their beliefs or attitudes towards those topics. The social psychologist Robert Cialdini (2003) discusses six principles of persuasion which are often used by people in everyday life whether unconsciously or consciously. It seems that the current theoretical and empirical studies on these principles of persuasion and various other “processes makes available to instructors a technology for systematically altering the nature of people’s beliefs and actions” (Friedrich...

...been by one of my favorite activities during my studies. This is because they tend to reflect that the student understands the subject that the tutor had handled. Personally, I have always concentrated on two principles which include: ensuring that I meet deadlines and that I respond correctly to the requirements in the statement. However, my inability to hand in the assignment was not deliberate but as a result of coordinated coincidences. I was unable to hand in my assignment because of various events that I have explained in the following account of events. I accept that I received the assignment and the duly attached requirements for the said exercise. I attended the lecture on the exact day that the assignment was given. You had indicated that the assignment should be delivered through your respective email address that you gave to the class. I understood all the instructions that the assignment required. Your research indicated that we should research extensively using secondary resources in regard to the subject. I visited several libraries and online sites. I visited our library for three consecutive days and this can be confirmed with my entry records with the senior librarian. I found several journals and books on the subject and I felt that I had gathered a lot of information regarding the topic that addressed to the assignment. This information was meant to ensure that I deliver an assignment that responds to the requirements to the assignment. My inability to hand...

...and 2,500 words (excluding notes and bibliography) and represent original and independent work. There may be a case for writing a slightly shorter essay if one of your universities requires a shorter sample essay. Supplying an accurate word count is in any case crucial. Your essay should aim to be quite a focused piece and be a work of analysis and interpretation rather than just description. You may need to seek advice on the planning, structuring and the title of your essay. Some modifications may be necessary for scientific submissions. Where will inspiration for my essay come from? Your essay may, or may not be, a further development of normal subject work (e.g. Physics Research and Analysis, English Phillimore, History Gibbon Prize etc); it may be on subjects which have no existing prizes; it may be on a subject which is not on the curriculum (e.g. Anthropology) or which is cross-curricular (e.g. English and History of Art); or it may have emerged from Cultural perspectives lessons, the Cultural Perspectives timed essay which you take at the end of this term, be inspired by Critical Thinking work or be a ‘further developed’ praebendum essay. You should state in a covering note how and why the essay came about. Of course, it may represent a completely new and independent study of a personal academic interest of your own. When is the deadline? The deadline is the first day of Play Term after...

...are sure you will throw out. Be ready to keep adding to the list at odd moments as ideas continue to come to mind. Talk to your audience, or pretend that you are being interviewed by someone — or by several people, if possible (to give yourself the opportunity of considering a subject from several different points of view). What questions would the other person ask? You might also try to teach the subject to a group or class. See if you can find a fresh analogy that opens up a new set of ideas. Build your analogy by using the word like. For example, if you are writing about violence on television, is that violence like clowns fighting in a carnival act (that is, we know that no one is really getting hurt)? Take a rest and let it all percolate. Summarize your whole idea. Tell it to someone in three or four sentences. Diagram your major points somehow. Make a tree, outline, or whatever helps you to see a schematic representation of what you have. You may discover the need for more material in some places. Write a first draft. Then, if possible, put it away. Later, read it aloud or to yourself as if you were someone else. Watch especially for the need to clarify or add more information. You may find yourself jumping back and forth among these various strategies. You may find that one works better than another. You may find yourself trying several strategies at once. If so, then you are probably doing something...

...Nouns Nouns - are simply the names we give to everything around us, whether it be a person, an event, a place or an object, etc. Every particular name used to define something is a noun. Examples are account, babies, cabbage, dad, ear, car, parents, cat, John and house. 1. The babies are so cute. 2. My ears are too small. Collective Noun - The names given to a group of noun to identify them as a whole. Examples are class of students, army of soldiers, choir of singers, crew of sailors, band of musicians, group of civilians, horde of zombies, flock of birds, group of mountains and group of mountain ranges. 1. A band of musicians have so many members. 2. The army of soldiers is very brave. Possessive Nouns - Nouns or pronouns can also modify themselves to show possession of another noun, usually by attaching’s’ to the end of the noun. Examples are John's school, John's car, Julian’s house, Sophia’s pencil, Faye’s book, Cat’s tuna, Elijah’s book, Joshua’s height, Sun’s ray and Worker’s fee. 1. John owns the school. 2. Sophia owns the pencil. Gender Of Nouns - Sometimes nouns have different forms for different genders, although this practice has been largely abandoned by the people who prefer to use the same noun for both genders.

Examples: actor, baron, boy, bachelor, groom, duke, son, prince, king and doctor. 1. ...

Process Essay: Explain the rituals and activities of a church service you’ve attended. 2. Compare and Contrast: What scholastic habits among men and women lead to differences in their academic performances? 3. Argumentative: Is universal health care an unnecessary tax burden on the self-employed? Introduction - 3 STEP Intro: Creating interest > presenting the subject > stating thesis STEP ONE: Attention Catching Device (first sentence): An interesting or entertaining statement or question at the beginning of an essay that draws the reader’s attention and relates directly to the subject of the essay. Examples of Attention Catching Device: 1. Definition – Create an original definition of a relevant term or concept. (Ex. Democracy is a form of government in which power is given to and exercised by the people. This may be true in theory, but ….(lead reader to your thesis).) 2. Anecdote - A brief (half-paragraph) story that leads to your thesis statement. Note: This technique works best with narratives and works less well with more fact based papers. Ex.

Have to be worded with exquisite care, particularly for announcing bad news-turn down in business, a firing, promotion over rivals. Recipient are likely to pore over these bullentins.(rewrite) 6. Announcing executive’s dismissal become more concise for the fear of annocing too many contributions may cause people think the firing was unjustified. Good that companies have stopped firing people by memo 7. Psychological reason: Memos are overused by mangers because they feel uncomfortable, too shy to communicate in person or over the phone. 8. Mangers send memos for political reasons. carry political power 9. Convey more subtle political messages. If changed from informal to formal, need to find out what has changed. 10.
