Give two reasons why it might be important to use the standard version of English than writing

English

laiz [17]3 years ago

Answer:

"That’s why we have a standardized language in the first place. People grow up in different parts of the country, in different families and communities, speaking different versions or dialects of English — or not speaking English at all. The only purpose of language is to communicate, and if the language or dialect you use in a particular situation allows you to do so, then it is effective.

As I tell my students, English teachers are fond of using words like "wrong" and "error," but those words have meaning only in a classroom context. In students’ personal lives — as they converse, text, or email with friends and family — there is no "wrong" language.

The problem is that, in their work lives, they will be sharing documents or exchanging emails with people from other families, other parts of the country, and other walks of life. Assuming that everyone will understand your dialect only leads to confusion, misunderstanding, and false impressions — all of which are bad for business. Standard American English is no better or worse than any other language or dialect, but it is the one by which educated Americans (and, increasingly, people in other parts of the world) communicate in the workplace.

Like any other language, English can be used to express bigotry or hatred, and certain words may have offensive roots or connotations (like "uppity" and "hysteria"). But no language is inherently discriminatory. Language itself is merely a tool — one that students must learn to use well if they are to be successful in their chosen professions. (To the extent that there are discriminatory words and phrases in English, the solution is to teach students more about the language, not less.)

Students, then, have a vested interest in mastering SAE: It literally pays off for them, as those who are more proficient tend to be more easily hired and more successful on the job. Think of the retired professional athletes who go into television: Many of them were indifferent students and perhaps left college early. Now they sound as if they’d earned master’s degrees. Clearly, they have figured this out."

How did Thoreau practice civil disobedience? Why did he consider himself truly free?
Minchanka [31]
Thoreau begins Civil Disobedience by saying that he agrees with the motto, "That government is best which governs least." Indeed, he says, men will someday be able to have a government that does not govern at all. As it is, government rarely proves useful or efficient.

A student giving a presentation uses a "Z" pattern while expressing his point
vazorg [7]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Using a Z pattern is an example of a tactic that can be very effective in keeping the audience involved in the speech. Focusing too much on any one person can make that uncomfortable and also distract the speaker.

Scanning the room in a Z type pattern gives every member of the audience the illusion of being looked at and addressed individually by the speaker. This is useful tactic because people who feel involved will pay more attention to the subject matter.

How does Mansfield convey her theme in “The Daughters of the Late Colonel”?
mote1985 [20]

In “The Daughters of the Late Colonel” the theme is captivity and is explored by the author through the relationship between the two captive sisters.

Explanation:

In Katherine Mansfield's short story “The Daughters of the Late Colonel”, the theme is the exploration of captivity and how it affects the primary characters of the story.

Josephine and Constantia have been imprisoned in a world where they have essentially two goals in their lives one is to avoid displeasing their cranky old father and the other is to keep away from him as far as necessary to.

This is the part where the relationship between the two sisters is explored in their silent and morbid captivity within the household.
