Passage 1 adapted from The Fox and the Goat A fox one day fell into a deep well and could find no means of escape. A goat, overc

ome with thirst, came to the same well, and seeing the fox, inquired if the water was good. Concealing his sad plight the fox praised the water, saying it was excellent beyond measure, and encouraged the goat to descend to the well. The goat thoughtlessly jumped down, but just as he drank, the fox informed him of the difficulty they were both in and suggested a scheme for their common escape. "If," said he, "you will place your forefeet upon the wall and bend your head, I will run up your back and escape, and will help you out afterward." The goat readily agreed, and the fox leaped upon his back. Steadying himself with the goat's horns, he safely reached the mouth of the well and made off as fast as he could. He then turned around and cried out, "You foolish old fellow! If you had as many brains in your head as you have hairs in your beard, you would never have gone down before you had inspected the way up, nor have exposed yourself to dangers from which you had no means of escape." Passage 2 Woes of Taking a Shortcut Bianca was very popular in school and had many friends. Everyone had something good to say about her, but Bianca had one trait that always landed her in trouble: She was always in a hurry and did things on impulse. Her parents had often advised her to spare a minute to think before acting, but Bianca did not heed their advice. It was a pleasant evening, and Susan had organized a small gathering at her place to introduce her cousin Alan to her friends. Bianca loved parties and was looking forward to having a good time at Susan's house. She spent a couple of hours dressing up in her finest dress, doing her hair, putting on makeup, and finally coating her nails a bright red color. "Mom, I'm leaving!" called out Bianca, as she hurriedly took her purse and stepped out of the house. She had hardly reached the next lane when she noticed the thick, dark clouds looming in the sky. She knew it would start raining soon. Her friend Mini had joined her as well, and the duo quickened their pace to avoid getting caught in the rain. "I know a shorter route, and we'll save 10 minutes," panted Bianca. "You know that means crossing the field with the barbed wire," muttered Mini, looking frowningly at Bianca. "Don't you want to get there sooner?" coaxed Bianca. Before Mini could respond, Bianca had already steered away from the street and taken the slushy sidewalk to the field. "Oh no!" she cried as the muddy water splashed on her party dress. She tried to wipe it with a tissue, and together the girls carefully moved toward the field. Bianca ducked as Mini held the wire to make space for Bianca to crawl through the horizontal wires. Her heart stopped when she realized that the hem of her dress had caught in the barbed wire, and as she tried to pull herself free, she could feel her dress tearing. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she realized the folly of her thoughtless decision.Which theme is found in both passages? A. Sometimes attending a party during bad weather is not a good idea. B. People should listen to the advice given by friends and family. C. People should think of the consequences of their actions before making a decision. D. Sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice something in order to gain something.

What was the message in freedom walk
VladimirAG [237]

Explanation:

Free software had remained a technological and an economic issue in the state of Kerala and it had been very successful in being so. A team of four people decided to take the fundamental principle of the freedom behind free software and take this message of freedom to the masses in Kerala. They decided to project free software as an empowering agent to change the lives of people and in solving social, environmental and technological issues. They wanted to take free software and the freedom behind it to the common man in Kerala.

For doing this they decided to follow the Gandhian concept of walking, and walk they did. The quartet -- Anoop John, Cherry George Mathew, Prasad S. R. and Sooraj K. -- decided to walk from one end of Kerala to the other end, covering 1200+ kilometers, and preach this message directly to people. They also decided to follow a simple lifestyle -- no posh food, no paid stays, eating from small hotels and utilizing only public places to rest and stay. They decided to start on the birthday of Gandhiji -- Oct 2 -- from Kasargode and end at Trivandrum on Nov 14 -- the birthday of another great Indian leader Jawaharlal Nehru.

The free software community in Kerala embraced this walk and successfully organized 49 formal functions including seminars, public meetings, formal receptions and media interactions during this journey. This was on top of the very large and uncounted number of interactions they had on their way with people they met on the roads. The smallest formal functions would have been ones where 10-15 people attended (e.g., Agricultural University, Padanakkadu) whereas the largest ones would have been ones where 500+ people attended (e.g., Reception at Baselious College, Kottayam, Reception at BCM College, Kottayam). The median attendance would have been around 30 per meeting. Mass media in Kerala also liked this campaign for its novelty and its message and covered the walk end to end. A detailed list of all the formal programs conducted by the freedom walkers is at http://www.freedomwalk.in/content/freedom-walk-list-of-conducted-programs.

More than half of the formal functions, 28 to be exact, were conducted in educational institutions where the freedom-walkers conveyed the message of freedom and exhorted the students to embrace this freedom. In some places they had the opportunity to address the entire institution including teaching, non-teaching staff, and students, e.g., Vocational Higher Secondary School, Irimpanam; whereas in some places they addressed only faculty members, e.g., Agricultural University, Padanakkadu; NUALS,Cochin. These occasions were also utilized to convey to these students that the Freedom Walkers were following the Gandhian principle of "being the change they wished to see in the world." We can hope that the determination and the will of the freedom-walkers would very likely have inspired at least a few in their audiences to take very strong and life-changing decisions around these ideas.

The meetings generally had 3 sessions: a) message about being the change we wished to see in the world, b) introduction to the concept of freedom in software, its underlying philosophies and how free software can change our world, c) how people can join the movement, how they can get help, how they can contribute to the movement and through this how they can build careers in free software.

The formal functions were also used as a means to get connections established between the educational institution and the local free software communities. Messages about the existence and the activities of local free software users groups were given with instructions on how to join and participate in these communities.

The walk, zig-zagging across Kerala to cover all the fourteen districts, also effectively brought together the local communities in these districts around a common need to organize and participate in the Freedom Walk. This has resulted in better networking between these communities as has been evident from the cross-list involvement of free software users in the FSUG mailing lists in Kerala.

The campaign was very novel in terms of the origin (non-governmental and purely community based), in terms of the organization (totally owned and distributively organized by free software communities locally), and in terms of the physical involvement (that of walking for 44 days). The quartet has photo-documented (with around 8000 photos) their complete journey and they have also blogged on a daily basis during these days. The blog and photos are available at http://www.freedomwalk.in. Freedom Walk concluded on the 14th of November at a public function organized by the free software users group Trivandrum and chaired by the IT Secretary of the Government of Kerala.

How is grammar important when speaking to others? How do people perceive you if you are speaking incorrectly? How does the use o
rodikova [14]

Grammar lays the groundwork for effective communication.

 Grammatical errors come in many forms and all can easily confuse and obscure meaning.  Some common errors are with sentence structure, subject/verb tense, punctuation, spelling, and other basic mechanics and parts of speech.  Even something as simple as a misplaced comma can completely change the meaning of a sentence.  For example: "Let's eat grandpa" vs. "Let's eat, grandpa."

 Grammar makes written content more readable and in turn more interesting. 

That's all I got, I hope this helps in some way or another! XP
