Onomatopoeia in Spoken and Written English: Corpus- and Usage-based Analysis

Studies show that one concrete measure of readiness for college and careers is students’ ability to read and comprehend complex text independently. Many students who do not encounter sufficiently challenging texts in high school struggle upon entering college. In the twenty-first century, students may change jobs often; they must therefore be able to read a range of complex texts to be ready for an ever-evolving workplace. While no sampling can do justice to the numerous ways in which different authors craft engaging and complex prose, the four selections below exemplify the kinds of passages students need to grapple with in...

In addition to surveys of required reading in twelfth grade and the first year of college and consultations with experts in text complexity, two leading measurement systems were used to help make the selections below. While other measures of readability and text complexity have value, the two described below helped guide this initial work and confirmed that these four texts are suitable exemplars of the types of complex texts that students need to master to be ready for college and careers. The first system—a methodology described by Jeanne Chall and her coauthors in The Qualitative Assessment...

The band had been having a rest. Now they started again. And what they played was warm, sunny, yet there was just a faint chill—a something, what was it? —not sadness—no, not sadness—a something that made you want to sing. The tune lifted, lifted, the light shone; and it seemed to Miss Brill that in another moment all of them, all the whole company, would begin singing. The young ones, the laughing ones who were moving together, they would begin, and the men’s voices, very resolute and brave, would join them. And then she too, she too, and the others...

Improving writing skills - Recommended text: The Pyramid Principle

A covalent bond results when two atoms share electrons in such a way that each atom has an octet of electrons in the outer shell. In a hydrogen atom, the outer shell is complete when it contains two electrons. If hydrogen is in the presence of a strong electron acceptor, it gives up its electron to become a hydrogen ion (H+). But if this is not possible, hydrogen can share with another atom and thereby have a completed outer shell. For example, one hydrogen atom will share with another hydrogen atom. Their two orbitals overlap,...

Writing Across the Curriculum

The passage of salt (NaCl) across a plasma membrane is of primary importance to most cells. The chloride ion (Cl–) usually crosses the plasma membrane because it is attracted by positively charged sodium ions (Na+). First sodium ions are pumped across a membrane, and then chloride ions simply diffuse through channels that allow their passage. As noted in Figure 4.2a, the genetic disorder cystic fibrosis results from a faulty chloride channel. Ordinarily, after chloride ions have passed though the membrane, sodium ions (Na+) and water follow. In cystic fibrosis, Cl– transport is reduced, and so is...

The effect of grammar teaching (syntax) in English on 5 to 16 year olds’ accuracy and quality in written composition

MM, Inc. strongly discourages the storage of large numbers of e-mail messages for a number of reasons. First, because e-mail messages frequently contain company confidential information, it is good to limit the number of such messages to protect the company’s information. Second, retention of messages fills up large amounts of storage space on the e-mail server and personal hard disks, and can slow down the performance of both the network and individual personal computers. Finally, in the event that the company needs to search the network server, backup tapes, or individual hard disks for genuinely important documents, the fewer documents...

POSITION PAPER NATIONAL FOCUS GROUP ON TEACHING OF ENGLISH

Students are asked to analyze and explain the ideas presented in the passage, and then take a position that they support by providing reasons and examples from their own experience, observations, or reading. Because the writing assignment requires students to analyze the passage’s ideas in developing their own position on the subject, it integrates the critical reading and expository writing skills that are essential to college-level work.

America’s modern culture is unavoidably and irreversibly immersed in the media. Men, Women, grandmothers, teenagers, even children are subject to the powerful influence of media today. As Americans, we are subject to an abounding atmosphere of subliminal messages and culturally strive to be like those we see on television, in the movies, and walking down the streets of Hollywood. It is vital to realize in our hustle-bustle lives that a billboard with a favorite celebrity sprawled across it does not deserve respect and extensive praise. As Americans, we need to do future generations the duty of realizing the media’s powerful...

I, like other average Americans, an subject to these seemingly indifferent, yet extremely influential advertising ploys all before 10 a.m. Without actually retracing my morning, I would never notice what advertisements I had been subject to. This is the exact effect advertisers and marketers wish to have on modern culture. This tremendous hold on Americans gives the advertisers the power to throw any kind of marketing scam at us, usually without us even noticing their negative goal: financial...

The big question is, though, how effective are these marketing ploys? Am I really going to go out and buy Proactive Acne Solution because I think it will do for me what it did for Jessica Simpson? National studies buy the FCC have said yes. As Sue Jozui’s brilliant and accurate statement says, the audience subject to celebrity oriented advertisements is expected to relate approval of the particular celebrity with the approval of the product. This is true, and certainly insults the intelligence of the target audience. This particular form of advertising by celebrities is effectively analyzed in Maslow’s...

Although Jazui recommends boycotting advertising, I find this request impossible to fulfill. We simply could not effectively boycott all celebrity-oriented advertising. It hold much too broad of an influence on culture today.

In a country like the US, That is founded upon competitions and capitalism, producing clever television advertisements is the only way to keep up with a company’s competitors. If this means that false information must be presented by doctors, athletes, or celebrities to promote a product, then so be it. The US believes in freedom of speech, and the first amendment certainly protects the company’s right to advertise in a testimonial fashion. Secondly, it’s up to the consumer to determine whether they want to buy a certain product or even believe the ad in the first place Without question, this...

Freedom of press guarantees citizens and business the right to advertise however they like, as long as it does not contain malicious content. If a country didn’t allow harmless ads like the ones Miss Jozui speaks of, we’d be headed in the direction of turning into an overpowering totalitarian-style of government. To agree with the entirety of the first amendment, one must be able to respect the opinions of others even if they are the exact contrary to one’s own values. It is not the company’s responsibility to warn consumers if an “A-list” celebrity is really using the product they...

With a simple gland through the United States history, it is easily seen that propaganda is no new strategy to persuade the common man or woman’s thoughts. During elections, during war or peace, propaganda has been used by businesses and our government. Politicians like Ike Eisenhower used cartoons to try and get him elected. The cartoon diverted people’s attention away from whether he was a good president or not. This nearly the same idea as having a popular person tell people that the product shown is great. They want people to think “Of if so and so uses that, it...

Advertisers have a difficult job of marketing products; making products appear to be the best solution. Sometimes, using celebrities in commercials help to sell the product. Today, the population of America is infatuated with celebrities. We all know who is dating who in Hollywood, which dress did the hottest movie star wear, and so on. Therefore, it is understandible to see how advertising a product endorsed by a celebrity can be easier to sell. Some may say that this type of advertising is misleading. I disagree because advertisements and commercials are not solely based on the celebrities use. They are...

If a football star touts a deodorant soap, an actress starts everyday with brand.

I agree with Jozui if an atractive talk-show host gets paid to pretend to drive a car, it does not mean that your going to go buy one. It would be good boycotting this kind of advertisement but theres always a positive & negative side to the advertisements. Boycotting this advertisement will be good so...

In some cases, people raise the bar unnecessarily by exaggerating requirements for successful publication. This may be either an intentional attempt to bring the game to a higher level, or merely unintentional. Unfortunately, it is difficult to improve the level before understanding the publishing game in the first place. Writing scientific journal articles is learned through writing and publishing attempts when constructive feedback is available. It may occasionally be possible to enter the big league of very high-level journals directly, but only with adequate levels of support and feedback. In other cases, it is possible to publish in increasingly better...
