STATEMENTS OF OPINION 

You can start a debate or discussion by sharing your opinion, or you can give people your opinion within a conversation.

In my opinion...

This is the most straightforward way to talk about your opinion.

Frankly, I think... 

To be "frank" is to be honest. "Frankly" means the same thing as "honestly". People often say this when they want to give the impression they are expressing an opinion they wouldn't always express.

Personally, I think that...

This phrase is used to make the point that you are sharing your opinion alone, and that you do not necessarily expect others will agree with you.

If you ask me, I think that...

People use this phrase even though they have not been asked for their opinion. You can use it if you've been asked for your opinion, but it is redundant, or repetitive.

As far as I'm concerned...

This is sometimes used to express an opinion you know that will be unpopular, so it is used to say that the opinion is yours alone, or that it only affects you.

Skill or Talent

“Talent” and “skill” are often used interchangeably in conversations and perceptions. Both words pertain to the ability or potential of an individual to deal, work, and perform a particular task. However, their main difference is their point of origin.

A talent is defined by resources as the ability by a person that is inherent, inborn, or naturally occurring. A talent is said to be a special ability to do something without prior experience, study, or tutelage. It is often classified or compared to an instinct or a certain flair for doing something without extra effort and almost perfect in execution.
Since a talent is innate, only some people have actually acquired it. A talent makes it somewhat restricting–some people…show more content… Listening and speaking are oral skills. Reading and writing are literacy skills. Each week teachers should include some activities which focus on developing the students’ oral skills (e.g. pair and group interactions and games) and some activities which focus on literacy skills (e.g. reading and analysing texts and then students write their own). The four skills can also be grouped another way. Listening and reading are receptive skills since learners need to process and understand language being communicated to them in spoken or written form. Speaking and writing are known as productive skills since learners need to produce language to communicate their ideas in either speech or text

Reading.Benefits of using Multiple Sources

Why are sources important? Using sources in your paper is important because they show that you have researched your topic, considered other viewpoints, and found experts in the field that support your point of view. As a writer, you want your audience to know that your paper is more than just your opinion and that there is strong evidence and facts that support your point of view.

When including sources in your paper, there are really just three ways to use them correctly. First, you can paraphrase your source. When you paraphrase, you are taking the author's words and making them your own. For example, let's say an author wrote, 'On a cold, rainy night, John and Steve wrecked their car.' You can paraphrase this statement by saying, 'John and Steve crashed their car in the rain.' As you can see, the main idea is still the same. Just be sure that you cite the source! The idea originated elsewhere and it needs to be cited correctly!

Second, you can directly quote your source. A direct quote copies the source line by line and then credits the information. You would use a direct quote when you feel it is important for the audience to hear it as the author wrote it.

Finally, you can summarize your source. When you summarize, you are reviewing the author's thesis, key points, and overall argument. We may use a summary in a paper to present an author's ideas before we present our argument. Just like when you paraphrase, you must credit your source.

Now that we have an understanding of how to use sources, let's discuss how to include them in your paper. After you complete your research, you will probably have multiple sources that you want to include. How can you do so?

First, decide how you want to use each source. What role does it play in the paper? Will it be used to introduce a fact or statistic? Is it a quote from an author that supports a statement that you made? Or, is it an attention grabber or closing strategy?

You will also want to decide if the source is there to help present the problem or present the solution. For example, let's pretend that you have been assigned an argumentative paper on recycling. Does your source discuss the reasons we should recycle, or does it discuss the result of not recycling? Knowing the role that your source will play will help you decide how to organize it.

Healthy and key ideas Presintation

First, let’s start with a basic definition. We define health equity this way: When every person has the opportunity to realize their health potential—the highest level of health possible for that person—without limits imposed by structural inequities. Health equity means achieving the conditions in which all people have the opportunity to attain their highest possible level of health. (Source: Advancing Health Equity in Minnesota: Report to the Legislature) When we look at the health inequities in our communities, inequities that have persisted over time, it forces us to think critically about our work. How are we making decisions? Who is affected by those decisions, and how? When we put equity at the center of what we do, we begin to ask different questions : who is at the decision-making table? Whose voices are heard? Who is left out? Who benefits? Who doesn’t? And when we acknowledge that social conditions, more than access to health care or individual behavior, are at the root of health inequities, it becomes apparent that public health solve this alone. We need to be asking a different set of questions and seeking out different perspectives. Because the root causes of inequities are complex and embedded in the social conditions that structure our everyday lives, addressing it requires systems thinking. We found a video that does a nice job describing systems thinking and what it requires of us. I’ll put the link in the chat box, and I’ll mute the lines, so that we can watch it independently of the webinar. We’ll come back to group discussion when it finishes

Developing presentation techniques and visual aids

What Are Visual Aids?

They are commonly something like slides setting out your main points, or a video. They can also take the form of a handout, either of your slides, or a summary of your presentation, the use of a flip chart, or even something interesting that you have brought along to show your audience and make a point.

If visual aids are used well they will enhance a presentation by adding impact and strengthening audience involvement. They can also be a helpful to reminder to you of what you wanted to say.

Fine art

In European academic traditions, fine art is developed primarily for aesthetics or beauty, distinguishing it from decorative art or applied art, which also has to serve some practical function, such as pottery or most metalwork. In the aesthetic theories developed in the Italian Renaissance, the highest art was that which allowed the full expression and display of the artist's imagination, unrestricted by any of the practical considerations involved in, say, making and decorating a teapot. It was also considered important that making the artwork did not involve dividing the work between different individuals with specialized skills, as might be necessary with a piece of furniture, for example.^[1] Even within the fine arts, there was a hierarchy of genres based on the amount of creative imagination required, with history painting placed higher than still life.

Historically, the five main fine arts were painting, sculpture, architecture, music, and poetry, with performing arts including theatre and dance.^[2] In practice, outside education, the concept is typically only applied to the visual arts. The old master print and drawing were included as related forms to painting, just as prose forms of literature were to poetry. Today, the range of what would be considered fine arts (in so far as the term remains in use) commonly includes additional modern forms, such as film, photography, video production/editing, design, and conceptual art

Holiday with my family

This time in the winters, our small family planned for a holiday in the hills of Darjeeling. This was a much-needed break for the members of this family to remain quite busy in their daily scheduled life. They remain occupied in the strictly disciplined life of either work or study. Me and my little sister studies in grades 8 and 4 respectively, my father is a deputy manager in his reputed company and my mother is a working lady also a housewife, so you can guess how our life will be in the strict realms of schedule. Thus, this time my father and I decided on a short trip to the hills. We started our journey on the 1st of December 2019. On the way, we played a variety of games. The view over the hills was quite pleasant to watch. When we were on the top of the summits we looked down at our town which seemed like a toy town, how small that was from the top! We clicked pretty snaps of the places, clicked pictures of us, of the local residents there. After which, we went to a famous restaurant to eat our afternoon meal, we had the most delightful dumplings and noodles, which were cooked and served to us when still on steam. As dusk dawned on us, the jungles over the hills seemed to tell us another story of spirits and supernaturals. I and my sister were quite fantasized about this view. We preferred to keep our eyes shut till we reach our destination. It was half-past 8 when we reached the hotel where we would pass the night. The hotel staffs were kind people who welcomed us in great warmth. We got freshened up and went downstairs to watch their cultural program. The tribes danced to the music of one of their traditional song, which was quite amazing for us to watch them. After this, dinner was served. The dinner was quite rich and they served us in a sophisticated manner. After the tiring day, we decided to call it off and went to sleep.
