How my group organized the presentation

Group Preparation

            Because we choose the same Topic Which is Grammar and rules, Abdullah, Xippen, and I Becomes a grope since last Monday, September 17, 2012. We choose this topic to learn from it and try to fix our mistakes. At first, we start to gather information from each other about what do we understand or what do we know about the topic and to see what did we mess in the homework that the teach told us to do. After we finish, we started looking for more information online and using some online sources to learn more about our Topic. Then, we tried to put all the information that we found in a presentation. When we put all the information that we know about that subject, we thought that the presentation would not reach the four minutes limits. So, we work more than hour to make our presentation good enough and easy to understand, but we could not present on Monday of the last week.

            Daring the last week after the class, my group and I, who are Abdullah and Xippen, planned to meet on this week. We decided to meet and talk about the presentation on Saturday. At first, we start to give the roles for echo one and try to make our presentation easier to understand and giving echo other role in the presentation. After that, Xippen took the intro, Abdullah the Body, and I took the conclusion. It was difficult at the beginning, but I finish it on time. Then, we start to practice it for the rest of the week until the class period.

            The class has start, and the teacher start lecturing. Our group was ready for the presentation in anytime, but the time is not in our side. The lecture and class activates was taking too much time around two and half hours from the course which is a three hours class. The problem is, we weren’t the only group who is going to present today, and there were four groups before us. So, we don’t have any solution expect waiting for our turn.   We were the last group for that day, and most of students were already tried. However, we did our presentation on that day and everyone did a great job except me. I was super excited about doing the presentation and forgot everything about it. In that moment, I thought that all of us are going to take an F because of my mistake. So, I tried to relax and try to redo the presentation again. After that, we finish our presentation and everyone went to their home.

Parts of speech

 

It plays very important role in our speech. Not only the funny part the wrong sentence that you are writing, but the audience couldn’t understand your speech. Learning grammar is the only way you can avoid misunderstanding your speech. Grammar consists of many components, but parts of speech are the most important part that we have chosen to present to day.

Parts of speech are nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunction, and interjection. In my essay(in our presentation) we will introduce all of these things. First, nouns are places, persons and things. Nouns are two different parts, proper nouns and common nouns. A proper noun is a specific name of a person, place or thing. The first letter of the proper noun is always capitalized. Some examples include, Mrs. Rogers, Anderson Middle School, Redding, and so on. The common noun always describes any person, place or thing, such as, teacher, school, and city. Second, pronouns are words that replace the nouns, such as, I, you, he, she, it, we, who, that, which, and everyone. Next, a verb expresses an occurrence or state of being, such as, go, be, run, and drive.

 Adjectives describe the nouns and give a specific size, color, or shape like soggy, short, tall, thin, wet, dry, red, round etc. On the other hand, adverbs modify the verbs, and usually end with LY such as quickly, tiredly, sickly, and loudly. Similar to what we mentioned above, prepositions and conjunctions are the parts of speech. Prepositions show how nouns or pronouns are related to other words in the sentence, and usually show the position of the noun. Some examples are over, under, against, behind, of, though, etc. Furthermore, here is an example sentence, he is crying behind the door. In addition to what we detailed above, conjunctions are linking words or phrases. There are three main parts: coordinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, and subordinating conjunctions. Coordinating conjunctions connect the two equal parts of a sentence. Some of them are and, or, but, and so. Example in sentence: I have seen Joe and Jacob walking in the rain. Also, subordinating conjunctions connect two parts which are not equal. Examples for those conjunctions like: after, before, unless, although, if, and so on. Examples in a sentence: Xiannping wrote her presentation just after me. Furthermore, in parts of speech, correlative conjunctions are two conjunctions that work together in the same sentence. Such as both…and, either…or, neither…nor, and not only …. but also. Here are some examples in sentences: both my friends and I made a presentation.

In conclusion, there are many parts of speech, but the most important are: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunction, and interjection. Everything has to follow rules in order to understand each other in reading, writing, and speaking. Sometimes that could reach to understand the wrong idea. A small mistake could give you an F in your courses or losing you job.

PARTS OF A SENTENCE

Part of Sentence		Definition	Examples
Subject		The noun, or word group acting as a noun, that performs the action expressed in the predicate of a sentence or clause.	The author uses symbolism and repetition to convey the character's personality. Analyzing a literary text is a subjective process; supporting the analysis is not.
Predicate		The part within a given clause or sentence other than the subject and its modifiers.	Linguists study the science of language. The connection between economic conditions and fashion trends appears variable rather than fixed.
Object		A noun, pronoun, word, or word group acting as a noun that receives the action of a verb or is influenced by a transitive verb, verbal (a word derived from a verb, i.e., gerund, infinitive, and participle), or a preposition.
	Direct objects	Receive the action of a verb or verbal and frequently follow it in a sentence.	The essayist Pico Iyer examines social issues. Aristotle's words about invention deserve renewed study.
	Indirect objects	Tell for whom, to whom, or to what something is done.	Reading the poem "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening" gives me a sense of a long journey lying ahead. The heroine lends the situation dignity.
	Objects of Prepositions	Follow prepositions and are linked by them to the rest of the sentence.	Accomplished public speakers can move their audiences to action with their eloquent words.
Complements		A word or word group that completes the sense of a subject, object, or a verb.
	Subject complements	Follow a linking verb and modify or refer to the subject. They may be nouns (also known as predicate nouns) or adjectives (also known as predicate adjectives).	The market is dynamic. (adjective complement/predicate adjective) The market is an economic indicator. (noun complement/predicate noun)
	Object complements	Follow and modify or refer to direct objects.	The Church labeled Galileo a heretic. (The noun heretic complements the direct object Galileo.) They considered his ideas dangerous. (The adjective dangerous complements the direct object his.)
	Verb complements	Are direct or indirect objects of a verb. They may be nouns, pronouns, or words or word groups acting as nouns.	Campus-based volunteer groups provide students an opportunity to work in the community. (Students is the indirect object, and opportunity is the direct object of the verb provide; both objects are verb complements.
Phrases		A group of related words that lacks a subject or predicate or both and that acts as a single part of speech.
	Prepositional phrases	Consist of prepositions and their objects and modifiers.	The poet leads the reader through her childhood. A consultant forms an opinion during an initial meeting.
	Verb phrases	Are verb forms of more than one word that serve as the predicate of a sentence or clause.	The main character has experienced much isolation. Can we define normalcy?
	Verbal phrases	Are formed from a verbal (a word derived from a verb).

Clauses		A group of related words containing a subject and a predicate.
	Main (independent) clauses	Can stand by themselves as sentences.	The author's style emphasizes the character's confusion.
	Subordinate (dependent) clauses	Cannot stand by themselves.	The author's style emphasizes the character's confusion when he is captured.

story

One day, I was returning to my home for a long time full of final exams. So, I and my friends were planning to refresh ourselves and go camping in the forest for a coble of weeks. I took my wallet and went to the super market to prepare ourselves for the trip. After I returned to my home, I was surprised because it was my birthday that day, I totally forgot about it. While I was celebrating me father gave me a coins case for my birthday and letter from my grandfather who is traveling around. The letter was sealed by wax like in the old days and the stamp is strange. So, I tried to open that letter but I couldn't. So, searched for a tool to help me open that letter and in the end I found a ruler, finally I opened it. It was from grandfather in Africa, he wrote some story about his journal and telling me some of his adventure that he face while traveling around the world. After that, I was existed to live some of his adventure. After the birthday party we started the car and went to the forest away from electricity and from cities noises. After we finished set up tents, we start to enjoy our time. We stayed there for a coble of weeks but in the last week, something happened. I went to bring some wood to for fire camp but I lost when I was trying to returning to camp. I couldn't fine my way back to the camp for more than four hours. It is getting darker and darker so I start to find a place to sleep and try to find the camp in the morning. When it was dark, I heard some music comes from the forest, not far from me. So, I started to walk to the way where the music coming from. When I reached it, I saw an old house between trees. I took a quick look from the window to see what going on in there. I saw a man playing drums and dance weird dances. I was happy to fine someone. So, I knocked the door to find out where am I now. The doors opened and the man welcoming to his home to drink some tea. For me, I was scared because when I came in I saw human doll head I think they call voodoo dolls covered with piece of clothes. After that, he gave me a wood plate full of fresh fruits and a cup of tea. We stayed there and talk about how I get this far from the camp. In the end, he offers to help me to return back to my camp by using his bout. So we went to the river and we took around an hour until we arrived to my camp. So, I gave him the coins holder as thanks for giving me a ride to here. After that we returned home and start to write a letter to me grandfather about my journal and hoping to see him again.
