The INFORMER

“Ash”


In town there was a big bash
I couldn’t go for I was out of cash

I barbecued some fish in a dash
And ended up with a bowl of ash.

When I am angry I just lash
I shouldn’t charge in a flash.

Whenever I wear the sash
I break out in a terrible rash.

I like food that’s mish-mash
Most of the time I only eat hash.

There is always a wide gash
Whenever I go slash, slash.

Whenever I use the process of frash
My equipment comes down with a crash.

Reading Strategies
Reading Efficiently by Reading Intelligently
Good reading strategies help you to read in a very efficient way. Using them, you aim to get the maximum benefit from your reading with the minimum effort. This section will show you how to use six different strategies to read intelligently.
Strategy 1: Knowing what you want to know
The first thing to ask yourself is: Why you are reading the text? Are you reading with a purpose or just for pleasure? What do you want to know after reading it?
Once you know this, you can examine the text to see whether it is going to move you towards this goal.
An easy way of doing this is to look at the introduction and the chapter headings. The introduction should let you know whom the book is targeted at, and what it seeks to achieve. Chapter headings will give you an overall view of the structure of the subject.
Strategy 2: Knowing how deeply to study the material
Where you only need the shallowest knowledge of the subject, you can skim material. Here you read only chapter headings, introductions and summaries.
If you need a moderate level of information on a subject, then you can scan the text. Here you read the chapter introductions and summaries in detail. You may then speed read the contents of the chapters, picking out and understanding key words and concepts. At this level of looking at the document it is worth paying attention to diagrams and graphs.
Only when you need detailed knowledge of a subject is it worth studying the text. Here it is best to skim the material first to get an overview of the subject. This gives you an understanding of its structure, into which you can fit the detail gained from a full, receptive reading of the material.
Strategy 3: Active Reading
When you are reading a document in detail, it often helps if you highlight, underline and annotate it as you go on. This emphasizes information in your mind, and helps you to review important points later.
Doing this also helps to keep your mind focused on the material and stops it wandering.
This is obviously only something to do if you own the document! If you own the book and find that active reading helps, then it may be worth photocopying information in more expensive texts. You can then read and mark the photocopies.
If you are worried about destroying the material, ask yourself how much your investment of time is worth. If the benefit you get by active reading reasonably exceeds the value of the book, then the book is disposable.
Strategy 4: How to study different sorts of material
Different sort of documents have different information in different ways. They have different depths and breadths of coverage. By understanding the layout of the material you are reading, you can extract useful information much more efficiently.
Reading Magazines and Newspapers: These tend to give a very fragmented coverage of an area. They will typically only concentrate on the most interesting and glamorous parts of a topic - this helps them to sell copies! They will often ignore less interesting information that may be essential to a full understanding of a subject. Typically areas of useful information are padded out with large amounts of irrelevant waffle or with advertising.
The most effective way of getting information from magazines is to scan the contents tables or indexes and turn directly to interesting articles. If you find an article useful, then cut it out and file it in a folder specifically covering that sort of information. In this way you will build up sets of related articles that may begin to explain the subject.
Newspapers tend to be arranged in sections. If you read a paper often, you can learn quickly which sections are useful and which ones you can skip altogether.
Reading Individual Articles:Articles within newspapers and magazines tend to be in three main types:
News Articles:Here the most important information is presented first, with information being less and less useful as the article progresses. News articles are designed to explain the key points first, and then flesh them out with detail.
Opinion Articles:Opinion articles present a point of view. Here the most important information is contained in the introduction and the summary, with the middle of the article containing supporting arguments.
Feature Articles:These are written to provide entertainment or background on a subject. Typically the most important information is in the body of the text.
If you know what you want from an article, and recognize its type, you can extract information from it quickly and efficiently.
Strategy 5: Reading 'whole subject' documents
When you are reading an important document, it is easy to accept the writer's structure of thought. This can mean that you may not notice that important information has been omitted or that irrelevant detail has been included. A good way of recognizing this is to compile your own table of contents before you open the document. You can then use this table of contents to read the document in the order that you want. You will be able to spot omissions quickly.
Strategy 6: Using glossaries with technical documents
If you are reading large amounts of difficult technical material, it may be useful to photocopy or compile a glossary. Keep this beside you as you read. It will probably also be useful to note down the key concepts in your own words, and refer to them when necessary.
Key points:
This section shows six different strategies and techniques that you can use to read more effectively.
These are:
Knowing what you need to know, and reading appropriately
Knowing how deeply to read the document: skimming, scanning or studying
Using active reading techniques to pick out key points and keep your mind focused on the material
Using the table of contents for reading magazines and newspapers, and clipping useful articles

“Ace”

The earth from its face
Has lost its beauty and grace.

Everything is dependent upon pace
And the nations are in an arm’s race.

Where is the earth’s beauty and solace?
No sir! It’s not here! Not even a trace!

Wars of racialism are causing a
Menace

An alien won’t like it from outer
Space.

ACTIONS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS

This is an idiom. It means that what you do (actions) is more important than what you say (words). There are lots of examples to prove this idiom.

As we have seen a group in the class that group was totally against the Actions speaks louder than words. They had no gesture. This was the reason that presentation was Average.

One of the best examples is Charlie Chaplin. He was the pioneer of the comedy. He always made people laugh by his actions. He did not speak any single word.

New born babies convey his message through his actions because he is not able to speak at that time.


Traffic policeman use his hand and control all the traffic.

Mr. Bean is also one of the best examples of “Actions speaks louder than words.”


If any teacher delivers his lecture without using gesture. It will not be effective.

If you guys have more examples or someone is against this idiom. Post your opinion and then we will have a nice discussion.
