Week 14

In this week, I learned about the adjectives and adverbs. I'd like to share you about the information. Let's see together.

  • Adjective
 Adjectives are words that describe or modify another person or thing in the sentence. The Articles — a, an, and the — are adjectives.



Ex. the tall professor


the lugubrious lieutenant


a solid commitment


a month's pay


a six-year-old child


the unhappiest, richest man

  •  Adjective Clause
 
An adjective clause—also called an adjectival or relative clause—will meet three requirements:


■First, it will contain a subject and verb.


■Next, it will begin with a relative pronoun [who, whom, whose, that, or which] or a relative adverb [when, where, or why].


■Finally, it will function as an adjective, answering the questions What kind? How many? or Which one?


The adjective clause will follow one of these two patterns:


relative pronoun or adverb + subject + verb

relative pronoun as subject + verb



Here are some examples:



Whose big, brown eyes pleaded for another cookie


Whose = relative pronoun; eyes = subject; pleaded = verb.


Why Fred cannot stand sitting across from his sister Melanie


Why = relative adverb; Fred = subject; can stand = verb [not, an adverb, is not officially part of the verb].


That bounced across the kitchen floor


That = relative pronoun functioning as subject; bounced = verb.


Who hiccupped for seven hours afterward


Who = relative pronoun functioning as subject; hiccupped = verb.

  • Adjective phrase


In an ADJECTIVE PHRASE (AP), the Head word is an adjective. Here are some examples:


Susan is [AP clever]


The doctor is [AP very late]


My sister is [AP fond of animals]


The pre-Head string in an AP is most commonly an adverb phrase such as very or extremely. Adjective Heads may be followed by a post-Head string:


[AP happy to meet you]


[AP ready to go]


[AP afraid of the dark]




A small number of adjective Heads must be followed by a post-Head string. The adjective Head fond is one of these. Compare:


My sister is [AP fond of animals]


*My sister is [fond]

  • Adverbs
 ADVERBS



Adverbs are traditionally defined as words that describe verbs.


Adverbs answer any of the following questions about verbs:


how? when? where? why?


The following examples illustrate adverbs modifying verbs:


How did he lift the barbell?


Easily is an adverb.


When will we use it?

Tomorrow functions as an adverb.


Where did she hide the key?


Nearby is an adverb.



Adverbs are the most moveable of all parts of speech; therefore, it is sometimes difficult to identify an adverb on the basis of its position in a sentence.


For example, the adverb slowly will fit into three places in the sentence He climbed the ladder:


Most adverbs end in -ly. In fact, most adverbs are formed by adding -ly to adjectives:


Like adjectives of more than one syllable, adverbs usually become comparative and superlative by using more and most.

Examples:
  • Adverb clause



The Five Types of Adverbs


Adverbs of Manner: Adverbs of manner provide information on how someone does something.


For example: Ali walks very carefully.


Adverbs of Time: Adverbs of time provide information on when something happens.


For example: We'll come to you next week.


Adverbs of Frequency: Adverbs of frequency provide information on how often something happens.


For example: They usually get up at eight o'clock.


Adverbs of Degree: Adverbs of degree provide information concerning how much of something is done.


For example: They like playing golf a lot.


Adverbs of Comment: Adverbs of comment provide a comment, or opinion about a situation.


For example: Fortunately, there were some sandwiches left for us.

Week 13

In class in this week, I was study a modifier of noun. There are two modifier of noun that is modifier before noun and after noun. First, I'd like to share about modifier before noun.
  1. Modifier before noun.
  • Adjective
Adjectives are words that describe or modify another person or thing in the sentence.
  •     Present paticiple.


Ex.Seeing a dog, I ran away.


  • past participle.
Ex. The stolen dog has been found.
  • Noun adjunct.
Noun Adjuncts (noun + noun)




In English we can put two nouns together. The first noun is used as an adjective to modify the second noun and is called a noun adjunct. The first noun is almost always singular because it follows the rule for adjectives, which do not have plural forms in English.


N1 N2 can mean that


a. N1 is a kind of N2 (a grammar book is a kind of book)
b. N1 is an object of an implied verb (an apple tree is a tree that produces apples)


It is important to understand that N2 is the thing and N1 is the kind or type:


a rose bush is a bush
a wrist watch is a watch
computer paper is paper


N1 is singular, even if the phrase is plural.
Examples:


My mother planted a rose bush in the garden.
I bought a new table lamp.
Bobby takes the school bus to school.


The school ordered fifty new grammar books.
That man makes bird cages.
Mrs. Taylor bought some new baby clothes.


We can use a number with N1 to make a compound adjective. Since the number and noun make one unit, we use a hyphen to join them. Note that N1 remains singular because it is being used as an adjective.


Examples:


a three-car garage
a ten-speed bicycle
a twenty-dollar bill


If we use a number to refer to the second noun (how many), we do not use a hyphen:


two grammar books
five rose bushes


We can use a number to refer to the second noun (how many) and a number with the first noun (compound adjective). In that case, there is no hyphen after the first number, but the second number is still used with a hyphen because it forms a compound adjective.


two ten-dollar bills
four three-bedroom homes

       2. Modifier after noun.
  • Adverb
Adverbs can modify nouns to indicate time or place.


For example:-


The concert tomorrow.
The room upstairs.


  • To infinitive.
1. The to- infinitive can be used to modify a noun or indefinite pronoun (i.e. nothing, something, etc.). The to- infinitive comes after the noun or pronoun it modifies. (See sentences in the above frame).


2. The to- infinitive shows how the noun or pronoun is to be used.




Ex.I have work to do.
     Do you need a book to read?
     She gave him something to drink.
     They don’t want anything to eat


  • Present participle.
Ex: She heard them talking about her.
      I saw a rock rolling down the hill.



Dear Abby
Dear Abby: 'Nice guy' wants some control over his explosions of anger

By Dear Abby

DEAR ABBY: I have an issue that has me concerned, and I need some expertise.

I have a problem with anger. I don't know what triggers it. It happens out of the blue sometimes.

I have never struck out in anger toward another person, but people have witnessed my outbursts and seemed taken aback by the behavior. The instances occur every month or two.

I'm a nice guy. I would bend over backward to help someone if I could.

My verbal explosions contradict who I am inside. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to control my temper in these situations?

- Hothead in New Jersey

DEAR HOTHEAD: Anger is a normal emotion. Everyone has experienced it at one time or another. When primitive men and women were faced with a potential threat, they reacted instinctively with either fear or anger. It was nature's way of enabling us to run away or fight back.

Even infants display anger by screaming or holding their breath until they turn red. And we've all seen older children throw tantrums, holler and throw things.

Whatever is causing your angry outbursts, it is important to analyze what has been triggering them.

Being out of work, unable to pay one's bills or feeling unfairly treated can arouse feelings of anger.

Being hurt emotionally by someone can cause it, too. People have been known to become angry if their beliefs or values are questioned or threatened.

Low self-esteem can also cause people to feel easily threatened. Many people who suffer from chronic low self-esteem believe they must continually prove themselves. To compensate for their feelings of inadequacy, they are driven to "win every battle," whether at sports or in an argument.

People who are overly tired have been known to lash out without real provocation.

Being physically ill can have the same effect. (You can break that cycle by simply explaining that you're not feeling well and ask for patience because your temper is short at such times.)

Depression, drugs and alcohol abuse have long been known to cause people to lose control of their emotions and say - and do - things they later regret.

I publish a booklet, "The Anger in All of Us and How to Deal With It," that was created to help people learn to control their anger.

For people of all ages, it is a kind of survival guide to help them understand their anger and appropriately deal with it.

It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus a check or money order for $6 (U.S. funds), to Dear Abby - Anger Booklet, Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling included in price.

Most of us have been trained from early childhood to suppress anger. But it is even more important to learn to express it in ways that are constructive rather than destructive.

Anger can be a positive emotion if it is channeled in the right direction. Uncontrolled, it can be a killer.


Dear Abby:I'm interesting English language,because it is fun and challenge. Now,I can not speak English very well.Please tell me the strategies for to learn English better.

Week 12

In this week I'd like to shared you a good website, that is about invention of gift. There are eight main section such as food, health, living, outside, play, technology, workshop, dremel. If you interesting to invented by yourselfe, you can learn at this website. The name of the website is instructables,http://www.instructables.com/.
Now, I'd like to share you about making a card for special day.
First, let's see the materials for making a card.

step 1What you need....

For this make you will need the following:
- blank card and envelope
- red and black card or paper (or any colours you want to use)
- glue stick
- sticky foam pads
- scissors
- pencil
- compass (or something to draw around)
- ruler
- googley eyes (optional)
- gel pens
- heart paper punch (or these shapes could be drawn and cut out with scissors)


step 2Cut out your bug
Mark and cut out two circles the same size, one black, one red.
The size of the circles should be relative to the card blank you have.
Draw a line through the middle of the red circle and cut to make two halves.
Mark and cut a smaller circle out of black card (about half the size of the first circles)
Cut this in half, you only need to use one of the halves.
You should now have the pieces in the photo.


step 3Make the hearts


Use your heart punch to cut out six hearts from the black card.
(these can be bought for about £2 in most good craft shops)
Alternatively you could mark these out in pencil and cut them out by hand.


step 4Decorate your bug

Glue the hearts onto the two halves of the red card, try to get them symmetrical.
Use a small piece of sticky foam pad to attach the googley eyes to the head.


step 5Assemble the bug body


Add a sticky foam pad to the bottom of each red piece, then use a glue stick to attach the top half of the red piece to the large black circle as shown.
Using the sticky pads will give a slight 3d effect to your bugs wings but is not essential.
If you do not have these simply glue the wings on.



step 6Assemble the bug


Arrange your bug on the card front so you know where you need to stick it down.
Make sure you leave room for the text.
Use glue stick to stick the body on.
Use a sticky foam pad to stick the head on - again this will make it slightly 3d.

 
step 7Make the message
 

Cut a small rectangle of red card.
Make sure it will fit on the card.
Use a gel pen to write the message 'Love Bug'
(You may want to write this lightly in pencil first to make sure your writing will fit on the card.)





step 8Complete your card


Use a glue stick to stick your 'love bug' text onto the card.
And there you have it, a super cute card in very little time.
Perfect for you to add your personal message inside for your loved one!
Get experimental, try it with different colour combinations and different shapes for the wing spots,
