What Are the Different Parts of a Sentence?

The five main parts of a sentence are:


Subject
Predicate
Clause
Phrase
Modifier
Subject
In general, the subject refers to the part of the sentence which tells whom or what the sentence is addressing. The
subject is going to be either a noun or a noun phrase.
For example, "Kelly walked down the street." Kelly is the subject, because she is the actor, or subject, in the
sentence.
There are a few different types of subjects. The underlined word is the subject.
Simple subject: Kate is a thin girl.
Full subject: Jeffrey's poem about his mother made the class cry.
Compound subject: Paul and Tommy joined the soccer team at the same time.
Predicate
Let us return to our example "Kelly walked down the street." In this sentence, "walked" is the predicate because it is
the verb that tells us what Kelly is doing. A sentence can have just a subject and a predicate. For example, you could
just say "Kelly walked" and you have a complete sentence.
Here are the types of predicates.
Simple predicate: Harry ate his apple.
Full predicate: The mouse slowly ran towards the food.
Compound predicate: She both laughed and cried at the film.
Clause
A clause is usually some sort of additional information to the sentence. We could say "They like ice cream."
However, we could also say "They like ice cream on hot days." "They like ice cream" can stand by itself, but "on hot
days" adds something extra to the sentence. Therefore, "on hot days" is a clause.
There are two different types of clauses:
Dependent clauses - "On hot days" is an example of a dependent clause because it could not stand by itself
as a sentence.
Independent clauses - "Paul washed the dishes, but he didn't want to." "He didn't want to" could be a
sentence by itself; however, here it is connected to the larger sentence.
Phrase
A phrase is sort of like a dependent clause. It is a group of words that cannot stand alone as a sentence, but it can be
used to add something to a sentence. There are a few different types of phrases:
A noun phrase acts as a noun. For example, "the hungry cat" is a noun phrase.
An adjective phrase modifies a noun. The child playing hopscotch was happy.
An adverb phrase begins with a preposition and acts as an adverb. "On a hot day" from earlier is an
example.
A prepositional phrase is made up of a preposition, its objects, and its modifiers. The house on the corner
was old.
Modifier
As you can see from above, there are many different types of ways to add additional information to a sentence. All
of these examples are known under the general category of modifiers.
The 5-Step Writing Process
1. Prewriting
Youre ready to start writing. So why has that blank page been staring back at you for the past hour? Prewriting
identifies everything you need to do before you sit down to start your rough draft.

o Find Your Idea
Ideas are all around you. You might draw inspiration from a routine, an everyday situation or a
childhood memory. Alternatively, keep a notebook specifically devoted to catching your ideas as
they come to you. Your own imagination is the only limit to finding your source of inspiration.
o Build On Your Idea
Two of the most popular methods of fleshing out your idea are free writing and brainstorming.
Free writing means writing every idea that comes into your head. Do not stop to edit your
mistakes, just let the ideas flow. Or, try brainstorming. If you're on a computer, try a manual
process first to help you visualize your narrative: write your idea in the center of the page and
work outwards in all of the different directions you can take your story.
o Plan and Structure
Piecing the puzzle together comes next. It's time to sort through your ideas and choose which ones
you will use to form your story. Make sure you keep your notes even after your book is published
there may be the seeds for your next story as well.
2. Writing
Now you have your plan and youre ready to start writing. Remember, this is your first rough draft. Forget about
word count and grammar. Dont worry if you stray off topic in places; even the greatest writers produce multiple
drafts before they produce their finished manuscript. Think of this stage as a free writing exercise, just with more
direction. Identify the best time and location to write and eliminate potential distractions. Make writing a regular
part of your day.
3. Revision
Your story can change a great deal during this stage. When revising their work, many writers naturally adopt the
A.R.R.R. approach:

o Add: The average novel has between 60,000 and 100,000 words. Does your book have enough
words to be considered a novel? Have you given your readers all the information they need to
make sense of your story? If not, go back to your notebook that you kept for additional scenes and
any additional details.
o Rearrange: Consider the flow, pacing and sequencing of your story. Would the plot be better
served if some of the events occur in a different order?
o Remove: After making additions to your story, how is your word count now? Are your readers
experiencing information overload? You may need to eliminate passages that dont quite fit.
o Replace: The most effective way to revise your work is to ask for a second opinion. Do you need
more vivid details to help clarify your work? Is one scene contradicting another? Ask friends or
fellow writers to take a look and give you feedback, and if something isnt working rewrite it and
replace it.
4. Editing
You have overhauled your story. Its time to fine tune your manuscript line by line. Check for repetition, clarity,
grammar, spelling and punctuation. Editing is an extremely detailed process and its best when performed by a
professional. You can hire your own editor or utilized the editing services available through LifeRich Publishing.
Nobody wants to read a book that is full of mistakes, and they certainly wont buy a book that is riddled with them.
5. Publishing
You now have a completed manuscript ready to publish. LifeRich Publishing's extensive portfolio of publishing
services can help you beome a published author. Explore LifeRich Publishing's range of available publishing
packages. To learn more about the benefits of publishing with LifeRich, read this article.

9 Core Principles of Writing


1. Omit needless words
2. Use the active voice
3. Be clear
4. Be concrete and specific, permeating the work with details. For non-fiction, interviews are a helpful way to
do this.
5. Build your work around a key question
6. Create tension
7. Be yourself
8. Write with nouns and verbs, not adjectives and adverbs
9. Give the reader room to play their role (for example, when you state an amazing fact, dont then say thats
really amazing. Let readers do their own marveling)
Research comprises "creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge,
including knowledge of humans, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new
applications."[1] It is used to establish or confirm facts, reaffirm the results of previous work, solve new or existing
problems, support theorems, or develop new theories. A research project may also be an expansion on past work in
the field. To test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments, research may replicate elements of prior
projects, or the project as a whole. The primary purposes of basic research (as opposed to applied research) are
documentation, discovery, interpretation, or the research and development (R&D) of methods and systems for the
advancement of human knowledge. Approaches to research depend on epistemologies, which vary considerably
both within and between humanities and sciences. There are several forms of research: scientific, humanities,
artistic, economic, social, business, marketing, practitioner research, etc.
The Importance of Research
Study Implications
The purpose of research is to inform action. Thus, your study should seek to contextualize its findings within the
larger body of research. Research must always be high quality in order to produce knowledge that is applicable
outside of the research setting with implications that go beyond the group that has participated in the research.
Furthermore, the results of your study should have implications for policy and project implementation.
One problem that often plagues progress in global health is the slow translation of research into practice. Oftentimes,
a disconnect exists between those who create the evidence base and those who are positioned to implement the
research findings. The underlying problem is in the way in which the production of evidence is organized
institutionally with highly centralized mechanisms, whereas the application of that science is highly decentralized.
This social distance prevails because scientists are more oriented to the international audiences of other scientists
for which they publish than to the needs of practitioners, policy makers, or the local public.(1)
Thus, as researchers, it is imperative to take steps to overcome this barrier. Publishing your study may be one initial
step to make your research known to the global community. Other proactive measures can be taken to encourage
the uptake of evidence-based interventions. For example, you can present your research findings at various venues
such as the Unite for Sight sponsored Global Health and Innovation Conference. Furthermore, you can send the
results of your study to local officials, policy-makers, and community leaders.
Goals of Research
There are relatively few published studies about eye care in developing countries, and Unite For Sight encourages
all volunteers to consider developing a research study to contribute important knowledge to the eye care community
on a global scale. Pursuing a research project will be a challenging and rewarding experience, and this opportunity
enables you to pursue an in-depth original study about a topic of interest.
Well-conducted research is vital to the success of global heath endeavors. Not only does research form the
foundation of program development and policies all over the world, but it can also be translated into effective global
health programs. Research draws its power from the fact that it is empirical: rather than merely theorizing about
what might be effective or what could work, researchers go out into the field and design studies that give
policymakers hard data on which they can base their decisions. Furthermore, good research produces results that are
examinable by peers, methodologies that can be replicated, and knowledge that can be applied to real-world
situations. Researchers work as a team to enhance our knowledge of how to best address the worlds problems.
The Iterative Process of Research
Ultimately, the key to a successful research project lies in iteration: the process of returning again and again to the
research questions, methods, and data, which leads to new ideas, revisions and improvements. It is easy to think of
research as a step-by-step 1,2,3 process, but it is important to be fluid and open to change. Oftentimes, by
discussing the research project with advisers and peers one will find that new research questions need to be added,
variables need to be omitted, and other changes made. As a proposed study is examined and reexamined from
different perspectives, it may begin to transform and take a different shape. This is to be expected and is a
component of a good research study. In addition, it is important to examine study methods and data from different
viewpoints to ensure a comprehensive approach to the research question. In conclusion, there is no one formula for
developing a successful research study, but it is important to realize that the research process is cyclical and
iterative.
The Purposes Of Research
Social research serves many purposes. Three of the most common and useful purposes, however, are exploration,
description, and explanation. Many studies can and often do have more than one of these purposes, however each
have different implications for other aspects of research design.
Exploration
A great deal of social research is conducted to explore a topic or familiarize oneself with a topic. This typically
occurs when a researcher becomes interested in a new topic or when the subject of study itself is relatively new.
Often times, exploratory research is done through the use of focus groups or small group discussions, which are
frequently used in market research.
Exploratory studies are typically done for three purposes: to satisfy the researchers curiosity and desire for better
understanding, to test the feasibility of undertaking a more extensive study, and to develop the methods to be
employed in any subsequent studies.
Exploratory studies can be extremely valuable in social research. They are essential when a researcher is breaking
new ground and they typically yield new insights into a topic for research. They are also a source for grounded
theory.
Exploratory studies do have a few downsides, however. The main shortcoming is that they rarely provide
satisfactory answers to research questions, although they can hint at the answers and provide direction as to which
research methods could provide definitive answers. The reason why exploratory studies themselves are rarely
definitive is because the people studied in exploratory research may not be typical of the larger population of
interest.
What are the Qualities of a Good Research
Rigorous
Research is a laborious and hard work in reality and it requires great patience and control. Research paper requires
rigorousness to maintain its quality. There can be several factors that can effect the quality and the outcome of the
research, the researcher should have a control over these factors. Some factors will effect the research positively
while other factors can negatively effect the research. Negative factors can decrease the validity of the research, so
these factors should be kept in control by the researcher.
Controlled
Another very important and basic characteristic of a research paper is that it should have to be controlled or
measured. Everything that you add in a research paper is preplanned and cannot happen just by chance. The first
step in conducting a research is choosing a research topic, from that step till the end, writing the research paper the
researcher should keep control over the research study. He should measure the consequences of each step that he has
planned to take prior to taking it.
Accurate
Accuracy is important because without accuracy the research paper cannot be valid and generalizable. In every step
of the research the researcher has to check the accuracy. When the researcher is reviewing literature he should write
down the references along with the literature review so that when writing those reviews he can accurately write the
reference of each review. While testing the hypothesis the researcher should write down the results of the tests
accurately so that there is no error. In research the researcher should leave no chances of error by himself. He should
ensure the accuracy of his research to 100 percent.
Clear
A research paper should have to be free of ambiguities and it should have great clarity. Clarity is one of the main
essences of research and without clarity the research paper is useless.
Concise
As a researcher you do not need to add a lot to the research paper to make it unique or interesting rather you should
add only relevant and original content. The readers will be able to understand a concise research more easily, there
should not be unnecessary details in the research.
Valid
Validity is the most important concern in writing and conducting a research. The actual strength of the research
paper is its validity. A valid research is applicable to various situations in general or it can be applied to any specific
situation, people or society.
Verifiable
The data the researcher adds in the research paper should have to be verifiable and provable. The researcher should
be able to demonstrate the research paper and there should not be any loopholes in the information.
Sequential
The research should have to be conducted and written in a logical manner. The researcher should follow a sequence
so that he cannot get troubled in the end as to how to compile this research. It is better if you start writing the
research paper as you are conducting it.
Precise
Preciseness means that the research paper should have completeness and it should contain detailed investigation of
the research topic.
Original
The research paper should contain only original content and copy work should be completely avoided. You can add
literature from other sources in various forms like in the form of literature review but you should never compromise
on the originality of the research paper.
Coherent
Coherence is necessary because it makes the research paper a complete and one unit. Every part of the research
paper should be so linked that it makes a whole.
Academic style of writing
Writing a research paper is the last step of the research and writing requires rigorousness. The researcher should
follow an academic style of writing and any ostentatiousness in writing should be avoided. The language of the
research paper should have to be simple and easy to understand.
Generalizable
The research paper findings should be generalizable and the findings should be applicable to the society in one way
or other. Sometimes the purpose of the research is to develop new research tools, techniques or data collection
instruments. Such research may not be useful for the society in general but in the long run researchers will be bale to
use these tools or techniques to conduct more researches.
QUESTION

1. How would you describe yourself?


Sample excellent response:
My background to date has been centered around preparing myself to become the very best financial
consultant I can become. Let me tell you specifically how I've prepared myself. I am an undergraduate
student in finance and accounting at ____________ University. My past experiences has been in retail and
higher education. Both aspects have prepared me well for this career.

2. What specific goals, including those related to your occupation, have you established for your life?
Sample excellent response:
I want to be working for an excellent company like yours in a job in which I am managing information. I
plan to contribute my leadership, interpersonal, and technical skills. My long-range career goal is to be the
best information systems technician I can be for the company I work for.

INTERVIEW
1. Tell me about yourself.
It seems like an easy interview question. It's open ended. I can talk about whatever I want from the birth canal
forward. Right?
Wrong. What the hiring manager really wants is a quick, two- to three-minute snapshot of who you are and why
you're the best candidate for this position.
So as you answer this question, talk about what you've done to prepare yourself to be the very best candidate for the
position. Use an example or two to back it up. Then ask if they would like more details. If they do, keep giving them
example after example of your background and experience. Always point back to an example when you have the
opportunity.
"Tell me about yourself" does not mean tell me everything. Just tell me what makes you the best.
2. Why should I hire you?
The easy answer is that you are the best person for the job. And don't be afraid to say so. But then back it up with
what specifically differentiates you.
For example: "You should hire me because I'm the best person for the job. I realize that there are likely other
candidates who also have the ability to do this job. Yet I bring an additional quality that makes me the best person
for the jobmy passion for excellence. I am passionately committed to producing truly world class results. For
example"
Are you the best person for the job? Show it by your passionate examples.
Safety is the state of being "safe" (from French sauf), the condition of being protected against physical, social,
spiritual, financial, political, emotional, occupational, psychological, educational, or other types or consequences of
failure, damage, error, accidents, harm, or any other event that could be considered non-desirable. Safety can also be
defined to be the control of recognized hazards to achieve an acceptable level of risk. This can take the form of
being protected from the event or from exposure to something that causes health or economical losses. It can include
protection of people or of possessions.

Hygiene (which comes from the name of the Greek goddess of health, Hygieia), is a set of practices performed for
the preservation of health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "Hygiene refers to conditions and
practices that help to maintain health and prevent the spread of diseases.[1]

Whereas in popular culture and parlance it can often mean mere 'cleanliness', hygiene in its fullest and original
meaning goes much beyond that to include all circumstances and practices, lifestyle issues, premises and
commodities that engender a safe and healthy environment. While in modern medical sciences there is a set of
standards of hygiene recommended for different situations, what is considered hygienic or not can vary between
different cultures, genders and etarian groups.[clarification needed] Some regular hygienic practices may be considered
good habits by a society while the neglect of hygiene can be considered disgusting, disrespectful or even
threatening.

Sanitation is the hygienic means of promoting health through prevention of human contact with the hazards of
wastes as well as the treatment and proper disposal of sewage or wastewater. Hazards can be either physical,
microbiological, biological or chemical agents of disease. Wastes that can cause health problems include human and
animal excreta, solid wastes, domestic wastewater (sewage or greywater) industrial wastes and agricultural wastes.
Hygienic means of prevention can be by using engineering solutions (e.g., sanitary sewers, sewage treatment,
surface runoff management, solid waste management, excreta management), simple technologies (e.g., pit latrines,
dry toilets, urine-diverting dry toilets, septic tanks), or even simply by personal hygiene practices (e.g., hand
washing with soap, behavior change).

Providing sanitation to people requires a systems approach, rather than only focusing on the toilet or wastewater
treatment plant itself.[1] The experience of the user, waste collection methods, transportation or conveyance of waste,
waste treatment, and reuse or disposal all need to be thoroughly considered.[1]

importance of food safety and sanitation?

Safe food handling begins at production and continues through the preparation process. If unsafe handling has
occurred at any stage, there could be a potential of danger. There have been times when contamination has taken
place at the meat production and processing stage, and if contamination occurs during manufacturing, a consumer
could inadvertently cook contaminated meat. To avoid this food risk, state and federal guidelines have been set in
place. These guidelines allow officials to inspect meat production and processing plants so that potential
contamination risks can be addressed.

In 1906, the Meat Inspection Act was implemented to protect consumers against poor food handling practices. The
Meat Inspection Act was amended and replaced in 1957 by the Federal meat Inspection Act, which provided higher
standards for meat handling. The FMIA has the power to inspect and cite any plant to ensure food safety. Any plant
that repeatedly fails to comply can be temporarily shut down.

Food handling safety is just as important at the consumer level because many consumers have contaminated food
through a lack of awareness. By practicing hygiene prior to handling food and ensuring that all utensils and surfaces
are clean, food contamination can be prevented. Food safety also requires that food is cooked to and stored at a safe
temperature. The best way to ensure that food is safely stored is to allow food to thaw in a refrigerator. Cross
contamination is also a common cause of food contamination. By always using clean utensils and surfaces that
haven't touched other food items, the risk of cross contamination can be greatly reduced.
A human society is a group of people involved in persistent social interaction, or a large social
grouping sharing the same geographical or social territory, typically subject to the same political
authority and dominant cultural expectations. Human societies are characterized by patterns of
relationships (social relations) between individuals who share a distinctive culture and
institutions; a given society may be described as the sum total of such relationships among its
constituent members. In the social sciences, a larger society often evinces stratification or
dominance patterns in subgroups.

Insofar as it is collaborative, a society can enable its members to benefit in ways that would not
otherwise be possible on an individual basis; both individual and social (common) benefits can
thus be distinguished, or in many cases found to overlap.

A society can also consist of like-minded people governed by their own norms and values within
a dominant, larger society. This is sometimes referred to as a subculture, a term used extensively
within criminology.

More broadly, and especially within structuralist thought, a society may be illustrated as an
economic, social, industrial or cultural infrastructure, made up of, yet distinct from, a varied
collection of individuals. In this regard society can mean the objective relationships people have
with the material world and with other people, rather than "other people" beyond the individual
and their familiar social environment.
