This involves variation in sentence structure, diction, and overall style and presentation. Should I try and mimic other writing styles or improve on vocabulary, or is it just a naturally acquired skill?

I guess I was just wonderin if anybody has any good "guerilla tactics" that work with regards to learning material effectively while not spending a lot of time doin it. I understand that there's no substitute for hard work, but i'm sure there are some good strategies to hone in that hard work to make your time more useful

I look it up on YAHOO! answer, but people come up with many opinion/answers. I don't really which one is the right answer, because it could be wrong.

Maybe a comfy recliner.?

I am so tired of seeing questions that have nothing to do with special education posted here. I bet that if you deleted all the non-SPED questions and those that make no sense at all we'd have maybe ten good, decent questions here. How can we stop people from posting in the wrong section?

i cant seem to get the answer of this on my math homework, please help, there are 6 possible answers!!

2007-09-02 12:11:51 · 1 answers · asked by Anonymous in Homework Help

The first 6 people to post ONE phrase that they would like to have listed, will have their phrase listed. ( IT MUST BEGIN WITH THE LETTER ► " S " ◄)
So instead of me making up the phrases.....YOU have a hand in it!!!!
Confused??? You'll see...... It's really quite simple....
After I see the first 6 phrases, I will LIST THEM IN THE ADDED DETAILS....THEN,GO BACK TO MY QUESTION , LOOK AT THE PHRASES AND WRITE A LITTLE STORY THAT MUST INCLUDE THOSE 6 PHRASES.
P.S. I WILL NOT ACCEPT BATHROOM HUMOR OR PROFANITY.
█ If you are not one of the first 6 responders, you are still invited to write a story and compete. ◄◄ Good luck and have FUN~~~~~~~~~

when you purchased the text for one class, you probably were forced to buy from one of a few sellers.

I love to write stories but I cant write something worth reading unless I get insperation. I can't just THINK of something out of nowhere. And our teacher is reading all of them to class, and then the best get 20 extra credit points!!! Plus I'm in the middle of writing a much longer story that is not 1/3 and far to long to be a short story...
Sould I just wright one anyway even though it won't be very good, or sould I try and wait untill I get insperation?

(the short story can be about anything so long as it has a good plot diagram)
