Have you ever had to adjust your communication style to engage a customer or teammate? what was the situation and the outcome?

stealth61 [152]

Most of the people in a third world country who deals with a lot of tourists or foreigners can relate to this. There will always be a language barrier that you should be wary of. I had worked as a tour-guide once and I had Japanese customers with me. As you may know, most of Japanese people have a hard time speaking in or understanding English and if they don't, they somehow find it difficult to pronounce some words. As a tour-guide, I need to speak slowly and clearly so that they will be able to understand every word that I say. In turn, they respond and ask questions to me which means that they are hesitant to do so.

Read the essay "Love Thy Garden." Then rewrite the essay to improve the flow between sentences as well as between the paragraphs

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Love Thy Garden

Most of us associate gardening with our grandparents, with people recovering from an illness, or with older folks gently tending to rows of hydrangeas and tomatoes. Of course, it is not something young people do, right? However, an increasing number of young adults and kids are getting into small-scale farming or gardening. This happens because schools across the country have initiated programs that involve working not only in gardens but also in small community farms. For example, The Edible Schoolyard Project, which was created in 2005 by Alice waters, makes farming fun for young people. In the beginning, Alice wanted to transform a vacant lot into an edible kitchen in her neighborhood school. After 2005, the project blossomed into a nationwide campaign to involve kids in the food-growing and production process. The program lets school kids of varying ages grow their fruits and vegetables. Then, it teaches them interesting and simple recipes. Can you imagine the joy kids experience in every stage when growing their food? First, they plant the seed. Then, they watch the plant grow as they take care of it. Finally, they pick the fruits and eat them. Besides, farming has other benefits: it relieves stress and it helps kids stay fit and connect with the community. Gardening or farming can also be fun for adults and teenagers. Thus, people of all ages can enjoy it.

Explanation

Grandparents: unification of the concept grandpas and grandmas to get a shorter sentence.
Sentence 1: Since the first three sentences are closely related, the text flows better by linking them. The repetition of the preposition "with" gives the text a poetical aspect.
people recovering from an illness/with older folks gently tending to rows of hydrangeas and tomatoes: omission of the expressions "who are"/"We have seen" to make the sentence shorter.
Of course: to emphasize the claim.
Young people instead of younger because there is not a comparison between two elements in the same sentence.
It is not instead of it isn´t since it should be formal as it may be an academic text.
However: connector to show an opposition between two ideas.
This happens because: phrase to link the cause and the effect.
not only in gardens but also in small community farms: not only but also to show addition.
For example: to introduce an instance of the previous idea.
, which was created in 2005 by Alice waters, : use of a relative clause to characterize the previous pronoun.
In the beginning/ After 2005: connectors to show the before and after of the project.
neighborhood school instead of a school in her neighborhood to make the sentence less complex.
The omission of "own" because it is redundant.
Then: connector of time to show that the idea follows the food-growing process.
as: to show simoultaneous ideas
Can you imagine the joy kids experience in every stage when growing their food?: use of a question to invite the reader to think and make him/her feel part of the text.
First/then/finally: connectors to show the chronological order of processes.
Besides: to add a new idea
use of colon: to introduce a list of equal elements
also: to show the idea of addition, inclusion
Thus: connector to show a consequence of the previous statement

Write one to three sentences explaining how the word ""swim"" adds to the idea that the turtle ""can’t see herself apart from th

Lana71 [14]

Answer and Explanation:

"The Turtle" is a poem by author Mary Oliver in which a beautiful and sacred action is described. The speaker is delighted by a turtle laying her eggs in the sand, patiently, full of a drive no one - not even the turtle herself - knows where it comes from. The speaker also draws attention to the fact that the turtle is unaware of itself as an individual. She sees herself as the world, and world as herself, all things converging to keep life going:

she is a part of the pond she lives in,

the tall trees are her children,

the birds that swim above her

are tied to her by an unbreakable string.

The word choice in this stanza is particularly interesting. The author chose to say that the birds "swim" above the turtle. That serves to enhance the sense of connectedness. There is no difference between the turtle and the birds. They all fly; they all swim; they are all a part of the world, and the world itself. Even though they may appear different, they belong together in nature, completing the gorgeous mosaic of life. "Swim" only helps convey this beautiful idea that the turtle "can't see herself apart from the rest of the world."
