NwaAmaikpe:Make-up from inception is made for ugly women. If you are already beautiful what is it that you are covering? My wife is so beautiful and natural that I am so used to seeing her that way. Anytime she wants to follow the crowd and make-up, it is as if she is wearing a mask. |
OSITA2love:From your poor English, the girl is probably right! |

HOW TO GENERATE IDEAS FOR YOUR TASK 2 ESSAYS Frankly,when I was asked the question- How can I generate ideas for my essay? I found it quite funny, because to me, it was just natural to be able to come up easily with your points in an essay. However on a deep reflection, I realized that as a candidate writing IELTS, you are confronted by two monster of time and the normal examination pressure which nobody is immune to. Now how can you easily generate ideas for your IELTS Task 2 essays? 1. From a month to the exam, take time to spend at least an hour everyday to read articles on current issues. 2. What are these current issues? You must realize that questions are often drawn from current realities and human interest topics especially those that confront humans in the 21st century. 3.Such questions are often drawn from technology,education,environment (pollution etc.),politics etc. 4. So where can you get these materials? They are readily available in publications such as Saturday or Sunday newspapers published in your country. These are basically human interest stories. For example there was an article in the Saturday Punch Newspaper of 10th August, 2019 on Internet and Students. A subject like this should interest anybody that is preparing for IELTS Writing exam. It is also important that such a student must begin to read purposively, especially around like issues for the purpose of the exam. Having enriched yourself with this kind of reading experience, you would obviously be in a better position to draw inspiration to write your essays. 5. Closely related to the above point is the need for such a candidate to realize that he or should be ready to transfer knowledge and be able to make logical inference. For instance, you may not read exactly what would be needed in the exam, so you should be able to draw a sort of inspiration to tackle a related question. A content for a topic or subject on Internet and Students for instance could be useful for a question on Computers and Students. 6.Apart from the source above, you must also realize that every essay expects you to draw from your personal experience and this comes from your past encounters with different situations-movies you have watched, bitter experience, travels, books read etc.It is all these that would form the bedrock of your inspiration. No one can claim not to have had an intimate experience. It is this individual peculiarity that makes your writing unique to you. Medical personnel could at times have undue advantage over others as I have seen a lot of them drawing from their medical background to write proficiently on questions from their field. It is therefore not coincidental that all essay questions have this tag-Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience. 7. When writing too, note that you are writing fictitiously and not necessarily a true life story, so don’t be afraid to concoct stories as far as it is logical and sensible. You are not assessed based on the truthfulness of your content, but its logicality.

WHO ARE THE MINOR CHARACTERS IN SWEET SIXTEEN? Minor characters in the story are personas who not only play minor roles ,but also did not actually develop.For instance,Mrs.Bello appears in just few places or mentioned in the story.Her roles is that of a loving wife to her husband and this never changed. CAN YOU THINK OF OTHER MINOR CHARACTERS? |
WHY ALIYA AND HER FATHER ARE THE MAIN CHARACTERS IN SWEET SIXTEEN 1. Aliya i[/b]s actually the protagonist in the novel ( a protagonist is the main character in a story around which all events radiate ).She is an innocent 16 year old student,who though has some knowledge of life, mostly got from her circle of friends,yet a lot of these are not too correct.It is the father who also acts as her moral teacher who begins to teach her various lessons about life and correct many misconceptions.So from a naive girl at the beginning of the story,she grows into an enlightened character.This qualifies her as one of the main characters in [b]Sweet Sixteen. 2. The second main character in the novel is Aliya's father-Mr.Bello-Though a mature man, who knows a lot about life, through experience and books read,he himself has some things to learn from his own daughter.Can you remember where he is ignorant about some teenage sexual slangs and acronyms ?He also grows from being naive in some knowledge about his own daughter and teenage lifestyle generally, to being more enlightened by the end of the story,so he too qualifies as a main character. |
