The document discusses rules of thumb for word stress in English. It explains that stress is louder volume and longer vowel sounds on certain syllables that can change a word's meaning. For two-syllable words, stress is usually on the first syllable whether it is a noun or adjective. Three-syllable words usually stress the first. Compound nouns stress the first part, while compound adjectives and verbs stress the second part. There are also rules for words ending in suffixes like -ic, -tion, -cy, and -al, which typically stress the syllable before the last one or two.

Rules of word stress in english
One word can only have one main stress, though some long words may have a secondary stress. Stress is always placed on vowels, not consonants. There are general rules for stress placement in multi-syllable words, such as stressing the first syllable in most two-syllable nouns and adjectives, and stressing the last syllable in most two-syllable verbs. However, stress placement can change the meaning or class of some words, like "present" as a noun versus a verb. Exceptions to the rules are also common.
Word and sentence stress
English is a stress-timed language, meaning stress occurs at regular intervals based on the number of stressed syllables rather than the total number of syllables. Sentences contain both content words, which carry meaning and are usually stressed, and function words like articles and prepositions, which are usually unstressed. Stress has three levels - primary, secondary, and weak - and changing stress can alter a word or sentence's meaning.

Stress in linguistics refers to giving extra force to certain syllables when speaking. In English, some syllables are pronounced with greater force and are considered stressed. The level of stress can be primary, secondary, or unstressed. Primary stress is given to the most prominent syllable, while secondary stress is weaker. Some words have variable stress that changes depending on whether the word is by itself or in a sentence. The placement of stress helps determine meaning and the structure of sentences.
Rules of word & sentence stress and intonation
The document provides information on word stress and intonation patterns in English. It discusses key points such as:
- Words can have primary and secondary stress; only vowels can be stressed
- Stressed syllables are longer, louder, and higher in pitch
- Sentences have rhythmic patterns of strong and weak beats
- Content words like nouns and verbs are usually stressed, while structure words are reduced
- Common stress rules are outlined for words of different syllable lengths and endings, including compound words

Stress refers to emphasis placed on certain syllables or words. Word stress emphasizes syllables within words, usually the first or last. Sentence stress emphasizes content words over structure words to create rhythm. Content words carry meaning while structure words are grammatical. The time between stressed words is always the same to create English's rhythmic "beat". Understanding stress helps comprehend spoken English, especially fast speech.

Stress refers to the relative loudness of syllables within words and sentences. There are three types of stress: major stress, minor stress, and schwa. Rhythm deals with the length, number of stressed words, pauses, and intonation in speech. Two-syllable words usually have major stress on the first syllable if a noun and the second if a verb. Compound words have major stress on the first word and minor on the second. Function words are stressed when spoken alone but unstressed in connected speech. Suffixes are stressed on the same syllable as the base word. Contractions involve the loss of the initial consonant of an auxiliary verb.

CLIL: Biology; blood cells.
Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body and live for about 120 days. White blood cells help fight infection as part of the immune system. Platelets help the blood clot. Blood is made up of plasma, which allows cells to move, and four main cell types - red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart while veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Capillaries are where gas exchange occurs between blood and tissues. The immune system responds to infections through a coordinated response between white blood cells and antibodies.
Continuous tenses
The document discusses various continuous verb forms:
1) The present continuous is used for unfinished actions now or future arrangements. The past continuous is used for unfinished past actions or duration.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
