   Language is like a chameleon: it changes its colors according to the place where it is. What can be considered as good use is using language with certain standards in mind. Such standards do not necessarily have to do with grammatical correction; it is actually a matter of social context. Depending on where one is and whom one talks to, language will certainly have to be used differently, that is, in a particular, sometimes even peculiar way, if one's goal is to get himself or herself across.

   A certain level of grammatical correction is necessary, sometimes more, sometimes less, but it has to be there. After all, certain elementary rules must be followed so communication can be achieved. There are language conventions that cannot be taken for granted if one wants to be understood.

   A certain quality of language and usage must be maintained. That does not mean one has to talk like a scholar who is giving a lecture all the time. One should simply bear in mind the various situations of communication, the many different contexts in which individuals from all walks of life interact and talk. The rules of context correctness can be applied by always using common sense. Language effectiveness requires sensibility and empathy. Depending on the context, this or that approach must be used.

Answer:

Language changes according to the place where it is. It depends on where you live, who you talk to, hangout with, etc. It will change due to all of the different cultures in life. Although I think a level of correction for grammer is right, it has to be there. Certain rules must be followed so communication in our everyday lives can be achieved.

Why do you believe that you are reliable<br> needs to be persuasive and of high quality and formal
olasank [31]

Answer:

I am a reliable person because I am responsible, loyal, and know how to keep secrets.

People always rely on me since I have never failed with my tasks at work or my studies. They know that I work hard to succeed in my daily duties and always have everything planned to avoid failing at what I have to do if a problem arises.

Another quality that defines me as a reliable person is my loyalty. I stand with the ones that I consider to be my friends or valuable people for their beliefs and actions. In other words, I help them and am by their side on the good and the bad days, supporting them even when no one else does because I believe in them and their potential.

The last thing that makes me a reliable person is that people always come to me to tell me about their problems or secrets because they know that they can trust me. I never have, and would never, divulge private information; even if it keeping other's secrets puts me in compromised positions, I would not tell what the other person has confided me.

I consider that being responsible, loyal and someone who you can tell your secrets are the main characteristics that make a person reliable. Besides, it is hard to find in today's world, but I am lucky enough to have them.

Explanation:

When we write a persuasive essay, we have to convince the reader. To do so, we have to be confident and give clear facts. We have to explain why we are reliable in different paragraphs giving evidence and facts. It is important to make an impacting conclusion where we restate the main points of the essay.

We also write in the introduction three characteristics that define us as someone reliable. This technique shows confidence and demonstrates in a summarized way why we are reliable.
