The document discusses noun phrases and their usefulness. Noun phrases make writing more sophisticated and succinct by allowing writers to present ideas clearly within word limits. Noun phrases replace parts of sentences, like "my leg injuries" instead of "because I injured my legs". Identifying the head noun in a phrase allows the correct verb to be used. Different structures are used to form common noun phrases, such as "a/the + noun + preposition + noun" or "noun + 's/s' + noun".

Adjectives
This presentation is about adjectives; the position of adjectives, degrees of comparisons of adjectives, ways in which adjectives change their spelling, and proper order of adjectives.
Grammar and Correct Usage
This document provides information on English grammar concepts including:
1) It discusses modal auxiliary verbs and their forms, as well as marginal modal verbs like "dare" and "need".
2) It examines semi-auxiliary verbs introduced by "have" and "be" like "be going to", and catenative verb constructions.

Noun clause functions
This document defines and provides examples of different types of clauses, with a focus on noun clauses. It defines a noun clause as a dependent clause that functions similar to a noun by acting as a subject, object, or complement. The document then discusses the different grammatical functions that noun clauses can serve, including as a subject, subject complement, direct object, object complement, prepositional complement, adjective phrase complement, and appositive. Examples are provided for each grammatical function.
Pronoun antecedent powerpoint
The document discusses pronouns and antecedents. It defines different types of pronouns such as personal, possessive, intensive/reflexive, relative/interrogative, and demonstrative pronouns. It also defines antecedents as the nouns that pronouns replace. The general rule is that pronouns and antecedents must agree in number, person, and gender. Some special cases of tricky pronoun-antecedent situations are also discussed, such as indefinite pronouns, collective nouns, antecedents with "every", "each", and "one", antecedents joined by "and", and antecedents ending in "s".
Compound adjectives
The document discusses compound adjectives, which are adjectives made up of two or more words usually separated by hyphens. It provides examples of different types of compound adjectives, including those formed with periods of time, adverbs and past/present participles, nouns and adjectives/participles, and proper nouns.

It instructs the reader to ask "who is this sentence about?" when reading a sentence to identify the subject, which is usually the words preceding the action verb. An example is provided where the subject of the sentence "the dog chased the postman" is "the dog".
Homonym & hyponym presentasi b.inggris
Homonyms are words that sound the same but have different meanings or spellings, such as palm, quiver, and bat. Hyponyms are more specific terms that belong to a broader class, for instance daisy and rose are hyponyms of the hypernym (more general term) flower. Hypernyms are broader terms that constitute a class containing more specific subclasses.
Adjectives
An adjective is a word that modifies a noun or pronoun. It describes, explains, or tells something about the noun.
Gerund
Gerunds are verb forms ending in "-ing" that function as nouns. They can serve as subjects, objects of prepositions, direct objects, subject complements, or appositives in sentences. Common uses include gerunds as subjects like "dancing helps lose weight" or objects of prepositions like "the family enjoys picnicking." Forming gerunds is done by adding "-ing" to the base verb form.
English Parts Of Speech
English parts of speech is a challenge to many Indonesian teachers. The content of these slides are purely taken from a book (unfortunately I have completely forgotten the title ad author). By grouping the parts of speech and providing some examples, the book tries to 'elucidate' the seemingly perplexing topic.
Phrasal verbs
A phrasal verb is a verb combined with a preposition or adverb that creates a new meaning different from the original verb. Phrasal verbs can be transitive, taking a direct object, or intransitive, not taking a direct object. Examples of intransitive phrasal verbs include "grew up", "will talk", and "jumping". Examples of transitive phrasal verbs include "came across" and "set up". Phrasal verbs can also be separable or inseparable, affecting the placement of the object.
SINGULAR AND PLURAL NOUNS

Examples are provided to illustrate the different uses.
Pronouns
Pronouns are used in place of nouns and include subject pronouns like I, you, he, she, it, we, you, and they.

An adverb phrase can be a prepositional phrase that modifies a verb, adjective or other adverb. An adverb phrase tells how, when, where or to what degree something is done and may include pre-modifiers and post-modifiers around an adverb as the headword. Common adverb phrases use prepositions like "in", "after" or "behind" to indicate time, place or manner.

8-Difference between phrase and clause
A clause contains both a subject and a verb and can stand alone as a complete sentence, while a phrase lacks both a subject and verb and cannot stand alone. The difference between a clause and phrase is that a clause provides a complete meaning on its own, like "He is sleeping", while a phrase does not, like "on the bed". A sentence can contain both clauses and phrases.
Possessive nouns presentation
Possessive nouns use an apostrophe to show ownership or belonging. For singular nouns, add 's to form the possessive. For plural nouns ending in s, add only an apostrophe. For other plural nouns, add 's. Possessive nouns can indicate something belongs to a person, place, or thing, or describe a characteristic of the noun.

The authors feeling about the issue of non‐vaccination of children in New South Wales was worrying
as this could impact the health of others (Dalton & Allan, 2013)
Irwin (2010) suggests that the absence of students at classes is worrying.
(Matthushek, 2012) noted that when the births of children are separated by 5 or more years, the
effects of birth order are changed. The pattern would differ from that of a sibling in a four‐child
family if the children were spaced fewer than 3 years apart (for example, if the children were 10, 8, 5
and 3 years old); this second child would exhibit the characteristics typical of second‐middle child.
Research has shown that students who leave work to the last minute seldom complete their work
with satisfaction (Brown, 2010)
Roberts, Yang, and Heckenberg (2009) recorded results when university work is handed up on time,
students will perform better in final examinations (as cited in Mackenzie & Caruso, 2011).

The position of higher education today can be best summarised as the following: “Money, rather
than means, is becoming the chief end of higher education. The rationale to pursue and practice
higher education is now routinely predicated not on learning but on money. With growing
frequency, the ends are not cultural values or critical thinking, ethical convictions or intellectual
skills. When those goals are pursued, it is often not because they offer multiple uses and relevance
but because they might be converted into cash.” (Engell & Dangerfield, 2007)

This presentation is for researchers who face a blank sheet of paper whenever they try to rewrite their research findings to audiences outside of their academic community. The 7 rules for writing in plain English are:
1. Keep your sentences short
2. Prefer active verbs
3. Use 'you' and 'we'
4. Avoid jargon: use words that are appropriate for the reader
5. Don't be afraid to give instructions
6. Avoid nominalisations
7. Use lists where appropriateI think you’re off to a good start on your opening segment, but th.docx
I think you’re off to a good start on your opening segment, but the purpose seems underdeveloped. The purpose of a memo is usually found in the opening paragraph and includes:
· the purpose of the memo
· the context and problem
· the specific assignment or task
With this in mind, let’s look at what you have:
PURPOSE: Comparative Analysis of a Domestic Intelligence Agency for the United States
This information does signal what the document is. If this is all your instructor is looking for, then this probably meets the requirement.
However, the purpose is typically written as a complete sentence and is usually preceded by information that provides some background (context) of the issue. It looks like you might have actually placed the information for this section at the end of your BACKGROUND section:
As such, the best alternative is to establish a domestic intelligence agency. As such, the report offers an analysis of various issues that are associated with instituting domestic intelligence agency.
Also, it examines and analyzes organizations of other nations that have instituted democratic institutions. The best nations to learn from are the UK, India, as well as Australia. Furthermore, the examination will be used to determine whether the United States Intelligence reforms will mainly be centered on targeting the intelligence shortfalls. Moreover, it will also explore whether the establishment of the intelligence organization is a feasible idea to deal with the threats that are culminating in the present era caused by the terrorists.
The BACKROUND section should only be for providing relevant historical information regarding the topic.
Here’s a sample introduction for a memo:
Due to extensive customer feedback, we at Chloe’s Cupcakes would like to demonstrate our commitment to making healthy choices by publishing nutrition information for all of our baked goods. Although our stores would not be required by law to provide the nutrition facts of our products, we agree that customers should have access to as much information as they desire before making a purchase. The purpose of this memo is to __________.
The blue section states the issue. The green section narrows the focus. The yellow section signals the document’s purpose.
Here is a link to more information on writing the parts of the business memo, including information on the opening segment and other segments.

The document discusses the causes of obesity at length. It identifies that obesity is caused by an excess of caloric intake relative to energy expenditure. However, the causes are complex, involving genetic, environmental, economic, and social factors. The food environment has shifted to promote overeating through abundant fast food and large portions. Physical activity has decreased due to less access and more sedentary behaviors. Additional contributing factors include changes in sleep patterns, medication use, smoking rates, endocrine disruptors, ambient temperatures, demographics, and infections. Government policies may have also played a role in increasing food supplies and lowering prices of unhealthy foods. Social networks can influence weight gain trends between individuals as well.

Returning mothers often face challenges securing full-time work after returning from childbirth leave. While many women want to return to work, they frequently find only part-time work is available. However, part-time work can negatively impact women's careers by limiting access to training and career progression. It is therefore recommended that organizations provide more support to help returning mothers fully return to and advance in their careers.

The privatization of the Forensic Science Service (FSS) in England and Wales was completed in 2012 due to financial losses of around £2 million. Prior to privatization, FSS handled 65% of forensic casework while private companies handled 35%, with the largest private provider being LGC ltd. The closure of FSS has raised concerns as many private companies completing forensic casework have not been adequately tested. This is believed to negatively impact the forensic field.

Causes of obesity plan and paragraph structure
The prevalence of obesity has risen dramatically in recent decades due to numerous interrelated factors. Increased caloric intake from highly processed, affordable, and accessible foods has contributed, as has decreased energy expenditure due to declining physical activity. Other contributors include changes in sleep patterns, medication use, smoking rates, environmental pollutants, urban design, and social networks. Genetics also play a role through their interaction with lifestyle and environmental conditions. Reversing obesity will require interventions that address its complex, multifactorial causes at both societal and individual levels.

Topic sentence: One approach that has proven effective in supporting international students is providing a blended model of academic support.
Evidence: Pyke et al. (2012) conducted research demonstrating that a blended model combining drop-in and one-to-one consultations, workshops, writing clinics, and intensive academic programs helped students fulfill assessment requirements and maintain retention rates.
Analysis: This blended approach allows students to receive support through various modalities like individualized tutoring as well as group workshops and clinics. Having multiple options helps address different learning styles and availability.
Conclusion: Overall, Pyke et al.'s research shows that a blended academic support model can successfully assist international students
Black History Month
- The author argues that Black History Month is still needed to highlight black history and achievements that are often ignored or forgotten throughout the rest of the year.
- Some councils have scrapped Black History Month and replaced it with more general celebrations of culture that fail to adequately represent or embrace black experiences.
- Examples are given of events meant to celebrate diversity that instead come across as tokenistic and that erase the specific experience of black communities.
- The author believes a new diversity test is needed to evaluate whether celebrations of culture and diversity are truly inclusive and representative or if they diminish important differences.
Critical analysis developing your reading
The document discusses critical reading strategies for academic work. It defines primary sources as original documents, and secondary sources as analyses of primary sources. It recommends pre-reading activities like scanning and skimming to evaluate a text's relevance and quality. The critical reading process involves analyzing the task, researching, pre-reading, evaluating the text, developing questions, deeply reading using techniques like listing and sequencing, taking notes, mind mapping from memory, and consolidating knowledge. When skimming, readers should look for indicators of meaning like contrast, illustration, extension, and conclusion. Critical analysis requires using evidence to form an unbiased opinion.

Childhood obesity has become a global epidemic, with approximately a quarter of Australian children classified as overweight or obese. The main causes are poor diet, lack of physical activity, increased consumption of unhealthy fast foods and snacks, and less time spent playing due to homework and screen time. Obesity can have serious long-term health impacts, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. It can also negatively impact children's mental health and confidence. To address this issue, society, schools, and families must take responsibility to educate children about healthy lifestyles and the risks of obesity.
Academic reading what is it and how do you do it

Linking words are important to connect sentences smoothly and allow readers to easily transition between ideas. They help convey thoughts effectively and engage readers. Appropriate use of linking words enables ideas to flow naturally and for readers to follow the writing easily. Different types of linking words like independent markers, coordinating conjunctions, and subordinating conjunctions are used to join independent clauses and dependent clauses in compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences. The document provides examples of how each type can be used.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
