First, I would like to maintain better eye contact. Second, I would like to avoid fillers like “um” and “like”. Third, I need to cut out any distracting motions. In order to increase my effectiveness, I think it would be a good start to recording myself as I’m practicing my speech. I believe this will help me realize what I should be mindful of not doing. In addition, I can tie my hair back to avoid distracting motions, like messing with my hair. I also will need to be better prepared
Sources of information come in various formats, especially through the internet. It is more easy to find sources that are not reliable than to find sources that are reliable. Reliable sources can come from websites that have a .org, .gov, or .edu domain. Domains like these are most likely to give accurate information compared to sources with a .com domain. That is not to say that .com sources are completely unreliable, but the reader should be more careful when getting information from domains like
the main points of focus will be firstly my personal development, secondly feedback and finally group work. These factors will subsequently be analysed in detail. To begin with, I will identify my personal development. Initially I was scared to start university because I did not know what to expect, but I was still excited and felt that I was ready for the next step of my life. Having to build an entirely new network of friends was going to be difficult. However, I soon learned that surrounding
Efficiently Using Wikipedia When there is a murder case, there are normally many suspects involved in this case. Quite frequently, people who are close to the one murdered are looked into. But, if someone is wrongly reported as being accused, it can damage one’s whole life. This happened to John Seigenthaler. He was wrongly accused on Wikipedia of being a murder suspect. This begs the question: is Wikipedia a reliable source? It is banned from some schools, even though that might be the wrong approach
Introduction The claimed sources of information gives credibility to the information which can either be verifiable or not verifiable. For instance, the Pluto is bigger than the moon; this is a credible claim because it has scientific evidence. On the other hand, the day is longer than the night; I don’t think this is a credible claim because we cannot establish the source of the information. This same effect is applicable to media, some media houses are credible based on their track record and
you have obviously put a lot of work into this. My goal is to provide you effective feedback about concerns/suggestions I have as a reader. Although I will provide critical feedback, the objective is to give you ways to rethink for draft 1.2 You start the introduction with an engaging attention-getter that states “Political music has been prevalent in society since the 1800s, beginning with slave hymnals”; this statement shows the significance/importance of the research issue. After that you even
The sound of the river calms me, my nose is now submerged beneath the water. The numbness that earlier enveloped my arm has started to dissipate. All I feel is a sting in my arm and I take a light breath in an attempt to start drowning myself. It is not what I had hoped. I immediately panic, it seems as though death does not suit me. Using my one arm and leg I push my way to the surface. Looking around I see a beach like area. Kicking and flailing my appendages to my best
During high school and college, whenever I was assigned to write a research paper, my professors always emphasize, “Do not use Wikipedia as your source.” I followed this rule pretty well, but I have never thought deeply into the reasons behind why shouldn’t Wikipedia be cited as a source in research papers. After today’s reading, I gained a sense about what Wikipedia is, how it operates, and more importantly why it is an invalid citation for research papers. Wikipedia’s lack of defined authorship

It was one of the simplest forms of survival. The physical benefits of running are countless. According to “The Planet Weave: Runners are Different
the sound of the gun. As the gun fires, everyone takes off running. Not away from something, but all towards the same thing: the finish-line. Adrenaline kicks in, the bystanders all cheer, packs of runners start to form, and then the actual competition begins. As the people beside you try to show dominance and speed up, you need to stay mentally strong, and run with them. Three miles later, with the finish-line in sight, everyone starts sprinting. This is where you use every last bit of energy, giving
especially ones that involve lots of running. Softball doesn’t involve as much running as say football or soccer, but it does involve sprinting from base to base and when in outfield. Running in any form is good for you, so that’s a pro for me playing. Sports have both mental and physical benefits for the person playing. The
ran my first track meet in the 3200 meter run. This was a small tribal meet so they combined the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade runners all together. I was a little anxious to compete with who I thought was the “best of the best.” My game plan was simple; “start off slow, and as the race progresses, slowly make your way to the front and finish strong.” After the race had started, I realized that I was striding my way into 2nd place. I was behind the heels of a well-built eighth grader, Eric. Pacing myself
