Business Letter (Complain Letter)

  9 BUSINESS LETTERS AND MEMOS Dear Sirs, My recent order which arrived safely contained two items: one Red Pyjama, and one White Stripe Pyjama. Our daughter is four and a half months old, weighs 7 kilos, and is 61 centimetres long. In other words, she is a fairly average size for her age. Given this, we were confident that the right size of pyjama for her would be the 70 cm, which you claim will last until the baby is some nine months old. To our great disappointment, the Red is a tight fit now, while the White stripe is comfortable fit now, and may last, say, one or two months. Misleading labelling and predictions are unfortunate in any circumstances, but doubly so when the customer lives abroad. Apart from the trouble and cost of returning the things, the fact is that our daughter needs the garments that we ordered now, and we can thus hardly afford any delay. Could you please let me know whether it is your normal policy to overestimate the age and size for which particular

3. ARRANGEMENT 4. Drafting and Revising

  RECOGNIZING A PATTERN Sometimes arranging your ideas will be easy because your assignment specifies a particular pattern of development. This may be the case in a composition class where the instructor may assign or descriptive or on narrative essay. Also, certain assignments or exam questions so just how your material should be structured. For example, an instructor might ask you to tell you about how something works or an exam question might ask you to trace the circumstances leading up to an event. If you are perceptive, You will realize that your instructor is asking for a process essay and that the exam question is asking for either a narrative or a cause and effect response. The important thing is to recognize the cues such assignments give and to structure your assignments accordingly.  For example, if questions like “what happened” and “when did it happen” yielded the most useful information about your topic, you should consider structuring your paper as a narrative.  Underst

Darkened by the Light!

Characterised, dramatised, popularised and politicised  Politics , Yes, you are circumcised. Insane, inhuman, impute and inbreed you may; Hanumans and flatterers Surrounded by corrupters   Politicians , Though you are poeticised In the rhyme of vandalized  Yes, you are criticised In the heart of individualised.  You, the mind of feudalised Suffered being generalized  Even being stereotyped   I see you are ideologised  Though for a time being You are popularised. I fear the day you get categorised Being called prostitute, tagged in the local market, Tottering being touched and tormented  Then you might realise Foreseeing the day The costs I paid on you The Luxuries they spent on you All vain in that brothel Darkened by the light Destined are you for the plight!

You feel High even being Obsessed!

 I  mock  seeing you amazed. Insane are they though they be glad The world already on the race track, started just as you behave  You, the marron doomed by the fate I hasten ahead, since I do hate Success, prosperity as they might have dreamt about you, Boomed and doomed in real has happened upon you Destined by the luck, overwhelmed with the jests  Crawling and creeping, griming on your steps You feel high even being obsessed  Gaol is that place I call without haste  Sledging on you, as they are the one I hate the best. My country, would you have had a man for you to breathe;  Sure, I would have rested in the peace with the mighty grace!!

Colon (:) and Semi-colon (;)

  COLON (:) Use a colon to introduce a series of items. For example, You may be required to bring many things: sleeping bags, pans and warm clothing. Avoid using a colon before a list when it directly follows a verb or preposition. For example, Incorrect: I want: butter, milk and sugar. Correct: I want the following: butter, milk and sugar. Correct: I want butter, milk and sugar. A colon instead of a semicolon may be used between independent clauses when the second sentence explains, illustrates, paraphrases or expands on the first sentence. For example, The whole thing became terribly clear: they had no means to escape.  SEMICOLON (;) Avoid the common mistake of using a semicolon to replace a colon. For example, One man went to mow; the others went to sow.  A semicolon can replace a period (.) if the writer wishes to narrow the gap between two closely linked sentences. Use a semicolon before such words and terms as namely, however, therefore, that is, i.e., for exa

The Allegory of the Cave - Plato (428-347 B.C.)

Plato is an ancient Greek philosopher, born in approximately 428 BCE. Plato spent much of his time in Athens and was a student of the philosopher Socrates and eventually the teacher of Aristotle. He is also one of the most important philosophers in history. He made notable contributions to ethics, the study of values and morality, metaphysics, the study of the basic assumptions and ideas that frame the world, and epistemology, the study of knowledge. Most of Plato's works are dialogues, in which two or more people engage in a conversation about one or more theoretical topics. The dialogues are not records of actual conversations, but Plato, nevertheless, bases the characters in his dialogues on real people. The most notable recurring character is based on his teacher Socrates. Plato , in  Allegory of the Cave , attempted to answer some of the philosophical questions, most notably about the nature of reality. He tells the 'Allegory of the Cave' as a conversation between his

Shooting an Elephant - George Orwell

‘Shooting an Elephant’ is a 1936 essay by George Orwell (1903-50), about his time as a young policeman in Burma, which was then part of the British empire. The essay explores an apparent paradox about the behaviour of Europeans, who supposedly have power over their colonial subjects. Orwell begins by relating some of his memories from his time as a young police officer working in Burma. He, like other British and European people in imperial Burma, was held in contempt by the native populace, with Burmese men tripping (losing balance) him up during football matches between the Europeans and Burmans, and the local Buddhist priests loudly insulting their European colonisers on the streets. Orwell tells us that these experiences instilled in him two things: it confirmed his view, which he had already formed, that imperialism was evil , but it also inspired hatred of the enmity between the European imperialists and their native subjects . Of course, these two things are related, and Orwell
