Essay # Latest Technological Developments

The younger generation is mainly responsible for the latest technological developments. How far do you agree?

The world has become a global village and the barriers have blurred out. A considerable shift in the approach of doing things, can be observed easily. Gone are the days when people were satisfied with a 9 to 5 job; this is the era of entrepreneurship, the era where people are on their edges to show their creativity. New things are being developed every day and the hunger for achieving greater heights has paved its way into human minds. At this point, considering only younger generation while talking about the great advancement would be unfair to the older ones.
You can never create a house if you don’t have the ground. Although most of the latest advancements are credited to younger generation, but the basis of these developments are provided by the earlier generation. For example-: facebook, Google, dell or apple might not have been possible if Charles Babbage had not developed the computers. Even more the mother of all languages “C” was developed by Dennis Ritchie who was in his late 40s when he developed it. There might not have been any facebook or twitter or android, had Dennis Ritchie not created C.
Having said that, the younger generation is surely developing new, exciting technologies. It could rather be said that they are effectively utilizing the base that already has been given to them. A ground is useless if you are not doing something about it.

Grammar Rules #Imperative Sentences

The best and the worst thing about grammar is that there is no certainties, no fixed rules. There are rules but then there are always some cases attached with them.

POINTS TO BE NOTED

  1. Exclamation marks can be used with imperative sentences. But when you do that it makes the imperative sentence, more urgent.
    For Example-:
    Wait!
    Now since there is an exclamation mark in the end of it, it means wait immediately.

  2. When a do is used before imperative sentence, it shows the irritation of the speaker.
    For example:
    Do come on time.

  3. “you”, if used before a command shows the anger or rudeness of the speaker.
    For Example-:
    You better keep your mouth shut.
    But if used in different context it can also show positive emotions.
    For Example-:
    Don’t you worry about anything.

    4. Follow The Rules

    Follow The Rules


  4. You need not to always have a please to show that it is a request. Grammar offers you with two words i.e. while and shall to make a polite request. These are added at the end of the sentence.
    For Example-:
    We must get to work, shall we?
    Be yourself, will you?

  5. A question mark in the end doesn’t always signifies an interrogative sentence. Sometimes, even an imperative sentence can be ended with a question mark; usually to show more politeness.
    For Example-:
    Will you pass me the book, please?
    Can you do this for me?
    Would you mind giving me your bike?

  6. If the imperative sentence is used in context of the first person you usually use, let me or let us.
    For Example-:
    Let me help you.
    Let us do some work.

  7. If the imperative sentence is used in the context of the third person, we use let+him/her/them/it.
    For Example-:
    Let him go.
    Let it be.
    Let her try.

Private Institutions Should Be Banned # Essay

Do you think that private institutions should be banned ? Discuss your opinions in 250 words.

A country runs on education. The better education it provides to the younger generation, the higher economic success it will gain in later years. Keeping this in mind, a country usually has both private as well as government institutions. When establishing the institutions it is hoped that they would stand by their words, and will provide excellent education. Although with time, it has been observed that government run institutions lose their focus and indulge in activities that have no concern with education. I, although, still believe that private institutions should be banned.

Banning private institutions will surely come with great advantages. Firstly, the quality of education in government schools and colleges will find hope of improvement. It has been observed that until and unless people have no other choice they don’t raise their voice for reform. Secondly, the rise of private institutions has led to a satisfaction with mediocrity. In no ways, it means that private institutions instigate mediocrity, the point to be noted is that with the rise of private institutions people have become more of “show off”. For example-: Since the past decade the number of students doing Bachelors In Technology has increased many folds. The reason being the course is easily available in private institutions. As a result, people don’t introspect themselves more often and live a life under the pressure of society.

On the other hand, absence of private institutions might be a reason of upsurge amongst middle and high income people as the ban may be misunderstood as a loss in their freedom of choice. Even more children with special abilities are often cared more in private institutions and banning them would be a major setback to them.

In nutshell, I would like to assert the importance of improving the quality of government institutions. Private institutions do cater to every individual’s demands, but they often lead to either mediocrity or high level of competition. So, according to me, private institutions should be banned.
