- I have heard this situation explained this way: When you want to connect two independent clauses, which can stand alone as sentences, then you can connect them with a Coordinating Conjunction, also called a FANBOYS word. (FANBOYS is an acronym reminding us of the seven coordinating conjunctions, which are For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So.) Normally, these FANBOYS words should indicate the connection between the two independent clauses. Here's an example: 1. I usually drink orange juice with breakfast. (Independent clause, and Simple Sentence.) 2. I prefer to drink cold milk when I eat pancakes. (Also an independent clause that can stand alone as a sentence.) Now, to combine these two simple sentences into a Compound Sentence, we use a comma followed by a FANBOYS word. Since these two sentences are contrasting the drink preference of a normal breakfast with that of pancakes, it would be best to use the coordinating conjunction BUT to connect these independent clauses like this: "I usually drink orange juice with breakfast, but I prefer to drink cold milk when I eat pancakes." Notice that the period of the first sentence is replaced with a comma, the conjunction "but" follows, and then the second independent clause finishes the compound sentence. If the second sentence/independent clause begins with a word that wouldn't normally be capitalized, then you must make it lowercase. Here's an example: 1. Teachers encourage students to read daily. 2. Students choose video games over reading more often than not. Because these two independent clauses are making statements that should have a connection, but don't, we can use "YET." And again, the word "students" is not capitalized. "Teachers encourage students to read daily, yet students choose video games over reading more often than not." I hope this helps and that it's not too complicated. (I'm no expert!) An English grammar handbook with a writing chapter could help also. PEACE!0 votedMay 25, 20161
write about a funny experience
Last weak i went to the teater.the play was very interesting,i didn't enjoy it,a couple was sitting behind me,talk loudly.i couldn't hear the actors;so i looked them angrily.they didn't pay any attention"i can't hear any word"he said"it's none of your business this is a private conversation " :-PLast week, I went to the theater. I watched a play that was very interesting, however, I didn't get to enjoy it because the couple sitting behind me was talking loudly. I couldn't hear the actors, so I looked back at the couple angrily. They ignored me. I told the man, "I can't hear the play!" He said, "Mind your own business! We're having a private conversation."
I hope this is helpful. I had to interpret a few things, so I could be wrong about what exactly happened. Peace.

For example, at the beginning of a small class or Bible study with unfamiliar people, the leader may ask of each person: "Could you please introduce yourself?" Most people would say their name along with their grade level, college major, or reason for taking the class (depending on the context). If only your name is needed, then the leader could just say, "Please tell us your name," but that would not be a warm and friendly way to begin as a class. I hope this helps. Peace.0 votedMay 23, 20160
I am reading William T. Tardy's, Easy Spanish Reader (Premium 3rd Edition). It features 80 readings with vocabulary glosses and post-reading exercises. If you can download the Language Lab app by McGraw-Hill Education, then you will get free audio recordings of the readings and flashcards, etc. It's an amazing resource. The readings get progressively longer and more difficult. I also found the Apostles Creed and the Lord's Prayer in Spanish, so I could practice daily and get the language not only in my mind, but in my heart. Peace!
In Esperanto, I recently ordered the The Bible in Esperanto, so I'm looking forward to reading that as well. Bonon tagon!

With this definition in mind, here is my response to your question and WHY I think your professors posed it:
Creative writing is that form of writing which requires imagination and takes the reader on a journey in their mind. Examples exist endlessly in literature, where stories are CREATED out of the writer's imagination. Characters come to life with personalities, quirks, and values that cause them to behave in certain ways. Worlds, which will never exist in real life because physics, biology, and time place limitations on the physical world that cannot be transcended, can nevertheless be described employing "creative writing" techniques. The movie, Inception, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is an example of what I am describing; and in that movie, the behavior of the physical laws of the universe are only overcome in the dream world of the mind.
I agree with Saqib, but would add, I think your professors want you to demonstrate your understanding of the value of "thinking outside the box." If you're an engineer, you must be able to use the creative side of your brain to solve problems in the real world. (A Beautiful Mind, starring Russell Crowe, is another movie that connects science and creativity.) Lastly, they probably want you to make your presentation engaging to the reader/listener.
Bonon tagon!0 votedMay 22, 20160- The third sentence will not work. The only difference between sentence one and two is the preposition "of." Therefore, I would side with Irina's idea: "I have had an experience of losing my passport." Actually, as a native speaker myself, I would say, "I've lost my passport more than once." Or, "I have lost my passport before." I would lean away from using the word "experience," since losing your passport is already an experience, so you're being redundant. If you want to say you're good at it or you're disorganized or forgetful so you lose your passport from time to time, then you can say, "I have had several experiences of losing my passport." (Thank you for your focused question.)0 votedMay 22, 20160

That con let can lead to a promotion at work and a much better life at home.

Diligent people are working for toward their goals, taking making every effort necessary to achieve them, while lacy lazy people are just sitting around and hope hoping that their dreams came come true whiteout every without any effort.
Although it its is true, that intelligence is probably more important than diligence, being intelligent is something you can’t learn. Many recent studies have proven, that a human’s IQ don’t doesn't vary over their lifetime, or vary varies only on a very small scale to a small degree.
Diligence, on the other hand, is a skill everybody can develop. Just set one step after another will enlarge your comfort-zone By taking one step at a time, until you will become a very diligent person.

Therefore, you will have an incredible advantage over lacy lazy people. Other people will simply consider something not worthy to invest their precious TV-time. (I'm not sure of the intended meaning.)
