LANGUAGE LEARNING

"Learning to speak another's language means taking one's place in the human community. It means reaching out to others across cultural and linguistic boundaries. Language is far more than a system to be explained. It is our most important link to the world around us. Language is culture in motion. It is people interacting with people."

PARAGRAPH WORK - EXERCISES

A presentation about a series of exercises to practice how to analyze and improve paragraphs. First, a text about how to stop soring needs to be divided into paragraphs. Later, a paragraph about pesticide suicide needs to be organized/sequenced in a logical way. Next, some sentences in a paragraph about elderly people living on a reduced income need to be omitted or eliminated. Finally, in two paragraphs, people need to work out the topic and the topic sentence. Additionally, one sentence needs to be omitted or eliminated.
