Thought Provoking question

Was it really necessary for the guy to chase the kids just to say " You stupid kids!" ?

I think that he wanted to chase them because he enjoyed to chase them around. He also said in the essay " I wanted the glory to last forever."

Introduction 1

Does the environment really effect our way of speaking with people? Does it change our communication due to the language and age? The answer to both of these questions are yes, because our brain was developed to exchange communication with another by the difference of age and environment. The way we speak in professional environments in front of mature adults has a different effect to speaking with our peers at school. Our families also has a different effect to our language because we might be more comfortable speaking our native language with one another due to the connection to our culture. For example, we might be teaching our baby cousins our native language so that when they grow up they can speak it along with us to show respect to their culture. Our environment definitely has a huge effect on the way we speak towards one another.

Introduction 2

"Language forces us to perceive the world as man presents it to us," said Julia Penelope. The world offers us many different ways of using language due to language courses and classes. The environment forces and lets our minds know what is surrounding us and how we should adjust to the language around us. In a professional environment, our language has changed from the regular slang to the language used by others in our environment. For example, if someone worked at a hospital, they would use the hospital language where they use abbreviations and substitutes for certain words. If we were speaking with our peers at school, we would use our normal language where we use slang terminology because we will feel more comfortable to use it around our peers. At family gatherings, one might use their native language as part of communicating with their families. Our language really depends on where we are and who we are with and that's how our brain determines what language to use.

Both essays are talking about the main languages of their native tongue. The essay from Welsh was put in a very formal form while the other one was about informal. It was usually support from her experience and the one from Welsh was from research rather than experience. They are both informative about the mother tongue. The one in the Welsh was more demanding where you had to learn the language when the other one was just like a bonus to learn the language. Both essays are good but very different from each other.

Is learning the "new languange" necessary for all medical and hospital staff?
