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.

Revise the passage by changing all of the gerunds to infinitives and all of the infinitives to gerunds.
AnnZ [28]

On the one hand, a <u>gerund</u> is a verb that acts as a noun, know for the -ing form. On the other hand, an <u>infinitive</u> is the basic form of a verb, that usually follows  "to" or another verb form.  The revised sentence, including both of these, is:

"To give is one of the best things people can do. Volunteering their time shows what caring people they are."

In his poem "Easter, 1916," does Yeats favor either side in the conflict? If so, which side does he favor? If not, how does he a
Dominik [7]
Yeats states that he was not closely acquainted with the people in the Easter Rising. He acknowledges that he only exchanged pleasantries with them before the uprising. He also indicates that he has personal reasons for disliking one person. So he is writing about the cause for which they stood, which, by inference, is important.

The comparison of the rebels to "stone" suggests that Yeats may have viewed the rebels' attitude as inflexible or not adapted to the changing times. Yeats also acknowledges the possibility that their deaths may have been "needless" because the British might keep their promises.

However, his reference to the "sacrifice" (of all who had supported Irish independence) and the rebels' "excess of love" suggest that he views their cause in a positive light. Moreover, Yeats's repeated description of the kind of change that the uprising has brought about as "a terrible beauty" suggests that his sympathies lie with the rebels.

To summarize, Yeats places a certain distance between the rebels and himself, but he supports the rebels' cause.
