EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Emotional intelligence is the ability to deal in a mature and understanding way with others in all situations, however challenging. One requirement for emotional intelligence is what we call self awareness. A person needs to have a sense of self awareness and understanding of his  or her own strengths and weaknesses to be able to handle constructive criticism from others. Being able to maturely handle emotion and exercise restraint is important in all relationships. People who have this ability are said to be self regulated.
People who are emotionally intelligent people are also self motivated. They are usually resilient and optimistic when they encounter disappointment and are driven by an inner ambition rather than by other considerations.
Those who have empathy are able to connect more easily than others with people around them and they show genuine consideration for others' problems. This ability is important in effective relationships and for crisis management.
People who are emotionally intelligent are able to build rapport with others and win trust easily. They not only appreciate others but also win appreciation from others for the respect they show towards others. Thus being emotionally intelligent includes self-motivation, trust in others, concern and empathy.

CONSONANTS

Consonants are produced when there is either a closure or narrowing of the air passage in the oral cavity. For example, /t/ is pronounced with the front of the tongue pushing against the palate. The 24 consonants in English are listed below: Consonants are further classified in terms of how the sounds are made: Plosives: Plosive sounds are produced when the vocal tract is blocked, building up air pressure, and then the air stream is abruptly released.  Fricatives: In the production of fricatives, airstream is directed through a narrow construction in the vocal tract. Nasals: In the production of nasal sounds, air flows through the nasal cavity.   Affricates: Affricates begin as stops and conclude as fricatives. Consonant Clusters : Consonant clusters are groups of two or more consonants sounds that come before, after or between vowel sounds. Look at a few examples below:

GUIDED COMPOSITION

'Guided writing' refers to the expansion of a set of points or short sentences to form a short passage or an essay. There are five essential stages in the process of expansion: examination, exposition, elaboration, conclusion and copying out. 'Examination' refers to studying the given points or ideas. Through 'exposition' and 'elaboration', a systematic interpretation or explanation is written based on the points or ideas, and providing extra material and examples, and clarifying details. The passage also needs a logical conclusion that rounds off the discussion. HOW TO WRITE AN ESSAY An essay must have unity of theme, which means that you should have your aim clearly set down before you start writing. You can give emphasis to the main idea in the essay by placing it in a prominent position ( for example, the beginning or end), either by giving more space to it or by directly starting it. The beginning introduces the subject of the essay, the ...

PREFIXES AND SUFFIXES

Affixes are part words that are added to ful words and that modify their meaning or grammatical function. There are two types of affixes: prefixs and suffixes. Prefixes are added before the base word and suffixes are added after a base word. Sometimes the spelling of the word may change in the process of adding a suffix/prefix. Sometimes, the part of speech of the word will also change. Some words may take both prefixes and suffixes. Look at the following examples: PREFIXES Prefixes are groups of letters added to the beginning of words to get new words. This kind of word formation leads to changes in the meaning and changes in part of speech and is also used to indicate number. It is important to know the meaning a prefix imparts before using it to form new words. LATIN AFFIXES Affixes used in the English language have been delivered from many languages. While many of them belong to English, many more have been borrowed from Latin. The following table gives you an overview...
