Teaching English If-conditional sentences to Chinese students is always a challenge for English teachers. English teachers are still continuously seeking for an effective method to make the language point more understandable for students. The probability approach put forward by Mei Wu (2012) provides a clear classification of conditional sentences. Based on her theory, conditional sentences can be mainly divided into four types. In terms of probability, type 1 is the factual conditionals (zero condition)
Introduction In this essay, I shall argue that there is no established truth-functional account of the meaning of indicative conditionals that is not subject to criticism but that the equivalence thesis - a truth-functional account of the meaning of indicative conditionals - is worth saving. Throughout the course of the essay, I will discuss two different attempts to defend truth-functionality: the principle ‘assert the stronger instead of the weaker’ and the supplemented equivalence thesis. The
metaphorical and largely conditional. Moreover, the purposes served by metaphors and conditionals in it are similar. Metaphors ask us to imagine the world in a new way, while conditionals may ask to imagine a new world. Yet some conditionals and metaphors are incompatible. There are limits to how metaphors can occur in conditionals, and how conditionals can themselves be metaphors. Specifically, only certain kinds of metaphors can be accommodated in the antecedents of conditionals, and even then only
Introduction Based on the textbooks in Hong Kong, the students in Primary 5 get the first chance to learn conditional sentences. There are four types in all: Type 0 (any situation which is always true), Type 1(something is going to happen in the future), Type 2 (an imaginary situation which stands no chance of happening or even impossible) and Type 3 (a situation which might have happened in the past but which did not really happen) (Loo, 1996). As time goes by, students will get a better understanding
Conditional and Iterative Data Types Conditional and Iterative A programming language cannot be a programming language with out its conditional and iterative structures. Programming languages are built to accomplish the task of controlling computer input and output. A programmer must use every tool available to complete his/her given tasks, and conditional as well as iterative statements are the most basic items of programming which must be mastered. Many different programming languages
well documented that there are three main kinds of conditional sentence. The first one is the verb in the main clause is “will” or “shall” and the verb in the conditional clause is in the simple present tense. Secondly, in the main clause the verb is “should” or “would” and in the conditional clause the verb is in the simple past tense. Last but not the least, the verb in the principle clause is “should have” or “would have” while in the conditional clause is in the past perfect tense (Sinclair, 2011)
we must shun material concerns to be redeemed. Both plays seek to reinforce these aspects of redemption to insure that all may be redeemed. The world is imperfect, and the only way we can make ourselves perfect and worthy of redemption is by not worrying about our material well being and performing good deeds. It is by disregarding our material concerns that allow us to perform good deeds. Everyman places his faith in material things, his friends, relatives and goods. These material things do him
in the past by the lack of materials available to plagiarize, either in libraries, newspapers, magazines, or in academic files of campus organizations. With the birth of the Internet however, the ability to commit fraud through plagiarism has greatly increased. In this electronic age, there are many materials available that promote plagiarism, and many measures being applied to detect it. Along with the plagiarism materials of the past, there are many new materials arising in this electronic
The purpose of operating a job cost subsystem for I Do Attire is to calculate and accurately record the direct costs (raw materials and direct labour) of the job so they can provide the accurate selling cost for the product they are producing to their customer, Ace Modeling Agency and so sufficient profit is made. The system allocates overheads to each job so the applied overheads are approximately the same cost as the actual overhead using the appropriate cost driver. In I Do Attire, the direct
In this modern age we have numerous man made materials and more commonly used in our everyday lives, man made plastic materials. Almost all modern day plastics are derived from petroleum and can have negative effects on not only on our enviroment but also on our body’s. Kevlar is one of these man made plastics and it has many benefits but also many faults. Do kevlar’s benefits out way its faults? Are these benefits sometimes used to disguise the many problems with this product? Kevlar with its harmful
Expansion and Contraction of Materials When most materials are heated they expand and this increase their volume. One example of expansion is the fitting of the starter ring gear to the flywheel. The gear is heated until it expands sufficiently to pass over the rim of the flywheel, and when it is cool the gear tries to return to its original size, this gripping the flywheel with considerable force. All metals do not expand equally when heated through the same range of temperature, e.g. aluminium
electrons. This increase in collisions means that there will be an increase in resistance. 2.Material: The type of material will affect the amount of free electrons, which are able to flow through the wire. The number of electrons depends on the amount of electrons in the outer energy shell of the atoms, so if there are more or larger atoms then there must be more electrons available. If the material has a high number of atoms there will be high number of electrons causing a lower resistance
resistencia tensil si soporta un estiramiento similar a éste: La resistencia tensil es importante para un material que va a ser extendido o va a estar bajo tensión. Las fibras necesitan tener buena resistencia tensil. Luego está la resistencia a la compresión. Un polímero tendrá resistencia a la compresión si soporta una compresión como ésta: El concreto es un ejemplo de material con buena resistencia a la compresión. Cualquier cosa que deba soportar un peso encima, debe poseer buena
the bones of cattle. During processing, these source materials are exposed to extremely harsh conditions, including prolonged exposure to highly acid or alkaline solutions. Gelatin is used in a wide variety of consumer and medical products regulated by the FDA. These products range from candies and desserts to vaccines, drugs, medical devices, dietary supplements and cosmetics. In the unlikely event of any initial contamination of raw material, the gelatin manufacturing process would reduce BSE activity
that Topps produces, there are of course many raw materials that contribute to each entertainment product. In fiscal year 2002, Topps spent $6,395 on their raw materials as compared to $2,860 spent in 2001. The company’s sports cards are the most popular and require a few materials. Film must be on hand constantly, as photographs must be taken of each athlete before computerized technology adds graphic designs to be put on the cards. Other materials needed for their collectible trading cards include
reflecting on this, minds would automatically assume the existence of some superhuman being. I think it would be necessary to invent God, if he did not already exist. We try to control our lives, by material means, but when we find that we cannot control everything by ourselves and by our own material means, we search for something that can control these things. We look for an answer to questions that we cannot answer ourselves. For example, when someone who believes in God has a series of bad situations
West to the rest of the country. People now had an escape from there lives in the East, and eagerly began to populate the farthest corners of the country. America was on its way to making an enormous impact on the world’s industrial market. Raw materials, new techniques in the workplace, a massive increase in the labor force, and numerous technological inventions all played integral parts in the United State’s economic and industrial boom. Large quantities of coal, iron ore, silver, and gold were
perspective on the beauty and luxury of course needs to be expanded, because the design of an innovative low-cost housing we will see many designs that are not standard. Although the actual meaning of beauty and luxury, with a detailed execution and materials used, also applies in architecture in general, not just for low-cost housing. The beauty of a substance should be fundamental to the realization of the house. Illustration Thus, in general people are more easily see a beautiful woman of her physical
CHAPTER 4: MARKETING THE QUALITY COMMITMENT The main aim of the Parle is to maintain a hygienic condition. It begins from the procurement of the raw material to the packaging and storage of the final product to ensure that a product of long lasting freshness is produced and delivered to the stores for consumers. Expert staff is responsible for the thorough checking of every batch of biscuits and confectionaries using the most modern equipment and technologies ensuring the consistent quality of the
around how children will perceive Darwinian “social teachings” or social Darwinism. Will studying evolution corrupt the morals of school-aged children? I began my research pondering the following: Can children that look at website-based material learn the latest material from both a scientific and biblical perspective? Some sub-questions that emerged are Can students learn about both sides in order to form their own opinions? Are creation-based websites dangerous because they make students believe that
