Iphone VS Blackberry

Iphone vs Blackberry


                    Mobile phone wars have  been ongoing for quite some time. But ever since the iphone was introduced, it has gotten much worse. The iphone has grabbed a chunk of probably every single category in the mobile industry. Here we will differentiate an iphone from a blackberry.
                    The blackberry was introduced in 1999 not as a phone but as a two way pager. The more popular smart phone format was released later in 2002 and has gained instant popularity among businessmen due to its heavy concentration on email services. As of that time, only the blackberry has push email capabilities, sending and receiving emails as if they were text messages.
                    The iphone was released around five years later than the Blackberry and was introduced as a phone with multiple capabilities. There was so much hype around the release of the iphone due to its innovative features and very intriguing design that have redefined the look of a smart phone since then. The iphone has lived up to the hype for most parts and is still a very prominent style icon.
                    It is quite difficult to compare the two since they are meant for different segments of the market. The iphone can do what the blackberry does but not so well, the same could also be said about the opposite. The focus of email writing in the blackberry meant that the QWERTY Hardware keyboard is always present. The speed and tactile feel of buttons is simply unmatchable by the touch screen interface of the iphone. The supporting servers of RIM, the makers of blackberry, also prove to be a big plus in its dominance amongst the businessmen who needs their emails fast. But we can now see that blackberry is beginning to lose its market share in hardware, giving other mobile makers permission to use their software like Nokia, Motorola, and HTC.
                    It is so hard to list all the advantages of the iphone over the blackberry, that’s why I started with telling the upsides of blackberry. Since those two are the only things that it has over the iphone. Typing with the iphone on screen keyboard is just not as fast as a hardware keyboard, although the iphone wouldn’t be as it is if it had a hardware keyboard. The lack of push email functionality also means that you must constantly check if new mail has arrived. Aside from that, everything is far superior in the iphone. Not to mention the fact that the blackberry is nowhere near the cool factor of the iphone, not even in the same ballpark.

CHAPTER 20 ( Preposing a Solution )


                       A good proposing-solution addresses a proposal that is worth pursuing and can be solved practically. Develop a proposal. The first person you’ll need to convince of your topic is yourself. By develop a rationale for your selection, define your initial understanding: clarify what you know about the proposal and what you think you know about potential solutions. Determine what you need to learn: develop questions to help you begin your research or writing. Get early feedback. Don’t jump to conclusion. We all think we have the answer to life’s problems. Unfortunately, in our rush to judgment, we often Miss Key details that would help us make better decisions, Research, Read as much as you can about your topic, starting with broad discussions on your topic, Research some more—but creatively. The two best methods: construct a survey to be given to the audience affected by your problem or interview key people associated with the problem (or solution). Both methods can provide significant credibility to your analysis and proposal. Outline your proposal first. Know where your paper needs to go before you begin. Proposal-solution has a lot of components and thus need to follow a tight structure: you address the problem, you establish middle ground between all concerned parties, and you present your vision for how to solve the problem. What I learned in this chapter that we need to define the nature of the problem, Establish its existence by explaining what has caused or led to the problem, Explain the extent of the problem, Explain its effects and why it is an issue that needs to be solved, finally, warn readers about future effects if no solution is offered. Apply prior experiences from other communities to this section.

CHAPTER 19 ( Persuading Readers To Act )


                       Persuading readers is a difficult task. No one is expected to persuade every reader or audience member, but you can get all of your readers or audience to think critical about your view. Difficulty Moderately Easy Things You’ll Need: Strong set of facts a command of your point of view a way to connect your points to the audience’s needs and wants Step1Tell your audiences why you believe in the point you are arguing for or against. People will not believe in something if they believe you don’t. Step2Present solid facts on what you are arguing for or against, or are trying to persuade your audience to do. Emotional appeals are fine, but when people are asked to believe in something they never thought of or don’t agree with the best way to get them on your side is to present facts that they can’t disagree with. Step3 Mention reasons why some people may not take your side. The point of persuasive readers is to get one’s audience to agree with his or her point of view, but everyone may not agree with you or have questions about what you are arguing for or against. By stating opposing viewpoints you recognize those members of your audience, show your audience that you are not blinded by your own personal view. But remember that you still hold strong to your views, and immediately after giving views different from your own that you tell your audience why your view is better. Step4Tell your audience how adopting your viewpoint can be beneficial to them. For example, if you’re trying to persuade your audience to quit smoking tell them how it will add more years to their life and save them money from not buying a new pack of cigarettes every week. Well, the important thing in this chapter is that when writing a persuasive paper, you need to think about whether you want to write on the whole issue or just one aspect of it. 

CHAPTER 18 ( Taking a Position )


                            A position presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to. Ideas that you are considering need to be carefully examined in choosing a topic, developing your argument, and organizing your position. It is very important to ensure that you are addressing all sides of the issue and presenting it in a manner that is easy for your audience to understand. Your job is to take one side of the argument and persuade your audience that you have well-founded knowledge of the topic being presented. It is important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims, as well as to address the counterclaims to show that you are well informed about both sides. Issue Criteria To take a side on a subject, you should first establish the arguability of a topic that interests you. Ask yourself the following questions to ensure that you will be able to present a strong position: Is it a real issue, with genuine controversy and uncertainty? Can you distinctly identify two positions? Are you personally interested in advocating one of these positions? Is the issue narrow enough to be manageable? Analyzing an Issue and Developing an Argument Once your topic is selected, you should do some research on the subject matter. While you may already have an opinion on your topic and an idea about which side of the argument you want to take, you need to ensure that your position is well supported. Listing out the pro and con sides of the topic will help you examine your ability to support your counterclaims, along with a list of supporting evidence for both sides. Supporting evidence includes the following: Factual Knowledge - Information that is verifiable and agreed upon by almost everyone. Statistical Inferences - Interpretation and examples of an accumulation of facts. Informed Opinion - Opinion developed through research and/or expertise of the claim. Personal experience related by a knowledgeable party. Once you have made your pro and con lists, compare the information side by side. Considering your audience, as well as your own viewpoint, choose the position you will take. In considering the audience, ask yourself the following questions: Who is your audience? What do they believe? Where do they stand on the issue? How are their interests involved? What evidence is likely to be effective with them? In determining your viewpoint, ask yourself the following: Is your topic interesting? Can you manage the material within the specifications set by the instructor? Does your topic assert something specific and propose a plan of action? Do you have enough material to support your opinion? Organization Your introduction should lead up to a thesis that organizes the rest of your position. 

CHAPTER 17 ( Strategies for Argumentation and Persuation )


                        The purpose of a persuasive or argumentation is to get the reader to side with you on a particular topic for the reasons that you present. One thing to keep in mind is that no matter what mode of writing you choose, all writing should meet the guidelines set by Persuasive and argument contains some common elements. They must clarify the relevant values of the topic so that the audience can see the position of the paper. Remember that there are many parts of any argument. The topic of the paper should be specific to the issue that you plan to address. Present facts that support the side of the argument that you plan to present and to persuade for or against. Facts can consist of statistics, researched information, and other materials that are found in. theStrategiesforPersuasive, Argument Papers should take some time to organize your thoughts. Here are a few prewriting strategies that focus specifically on writing persuasive argument essays. Choose a side of the argument that you feel most comfortable presenting._ while researching the facts, think of the questions posed for the assignment or the topics to investigate. Analyze the source of information presented for value and reliability. List the facts and opposing arguments on the topic that are most important for your audience.

CHAPTER 16 ( Definition )


                                 Definition is writing that explains what a term means. Some terms have definite, concrete meanings, such as glass, book, or tree. Terms such as honesty, honor, or love are abstract and depend more on a person's point of view. Three Steps to Effective Definition Tell readers what term is being defined. Present clear and basic information. Use facts, examples, or anecdotes that readers will understand. Choosing a Definition choosing a definition is a key step in writing a definition. You need to understand the term before you can define it for others. Read the dictionary, but don't just copy the definition. Explain the term briefly in your own words. Also, it's important to limit your term before you start defining it. For example, you could write forever on the term "love." To limit it, you would write about either "romantic love," "platonic love," or "first love."Thesis Statement of a Definition The thesis statement usually identifies the term being defined and provides a brief, basic definition. How To Write an Effective Definition Create a definition. There are several ways to define a term. Here are a few options. Define by function. Explain what something does or how something works. Define by structure. Tell how something is organized or put together. Define by analysis. Compare the term to other members of its class and then illustrate the differences. These differences are special characteristics that make the term stand out. For example, compare a Siberian husky to other dogs, such as lap dogs, or sporting dogs.(term) (precise definition)Ex: A Siberian husky is a dog reputed for its ability to tolerate cold, its distinctive features, and its keen strength and stamina. Define by what the term does not mean. This distinction can sometimes clarify a definition and help a reader to better understand it. Use understandable facts, examples, or anecdotes. Select facts, examples, or anecdotes to fully explain your definition. Ask yourself, "Which examples will best help readers understand the term? What examples would most appeal to my readers? Will a brief story reveal the term's meaning?" Do not use any examples that will not support the definition. Remember: A definition is writing that explains what a term means. When writing a definition, remember to tell readers what term is being defined, to present a clear and basic definition, and to use facts, examples, or anecdotes that readers will understand. 

CHAPTER 15 ( Process Writing )


                   Writing is a process that involves at least four distinct steps: prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing. It is known as a recursive process. While you are revising, you might have to return to the prewriting step to develop and expand your ideas. Prewriting is anything you do before you write a draft of your document. It includes thinking, taking notes, talking to others, brainstorming, outlining, and gathering information (e.g., interviewing people, researching in the library, assessing data). Although prewriting is the first activity you engage in, generating ideas is an activity that occurs throughout the writing process. Drafting occurs when you put your ideas into sentences and paragraphs. Here you concentrate upon explaining and supporting your ideas fully. Here you also begin to connect your ideas. Regardless of how much thinking and planning you do, the process of putting your ideas in words changes them; often the very words you select evoke additional ideas or implications. Don't pay attention to such things as spelling at this stage. This draft tends to be writer-centered: it is you telling yourself what you know and think about the topic. Revision is the key to effective documents. Here you think more deeply about your readers' needs and expectations. The document becomes reader-centered. How much support will each idea need to convince your readers? Which terms should be defined for these particular readers? Is your organization effective? Do readers need to know X before they can understand Y? At this stage you also refine your prose, making each sentence as concise and accurate as possible. Make connections between ideas explicit and clear. Check for such things as grammar, mechanics, and spelling. The last thing you should do before printing your document is to spell checks it. Don't edit your writing until the other steps in the writing process are complete.

CHAPTER 14 ( Writing a Classification Essay )


                              Classification writing is a widespread type of at colleges and universities. Some schools also practice giving students the task of composing a classification on one or several topics. This is a good way of organizing objects, materials or any other data using simple method of classification. This type allows you to rank a number of objects under several titles so that you can communicate with a person using the classification titles. You should include the definition of any process you are going to research. Classification is a system of grouping objects of study or observation in accordance with their common traits. A well-composed classification shows how well you understand its notion, functions and overall role for the research field. Being more or less conventional (respectively to the subject that fulfills it and its perception of “common signs”), the classification could help simplify the communication of people using it (if the perception of “common signs” is quite common). For example, in your paper you can use the concept of monotone function without having to apply each time to the definition that makes this a subset of the functions from multiple functions in general. Such classification can be taken into consideration when choosing an appropriate topic for your paper. The basis of classification that is for a person to use is referring objects to the different categories. What you need is to give your paper topic and instructions, in order to help writers make sense of large or complex sets of things.

CHAPTER 13 ( Comparison and Contrast )


                      In this chapter an author is talking about comparison and contrasts the subjects which will help you first to determine and decide which similarities, in order to make the results more clarity, by analyzing, explaining, and describing. The goal of comparing and contrasting is to help the readers understand the topics, explore what is the point. To help achieve this there are keys have to be used, starting from knowing your reader, how to help readers use the information, what they know about the subject, and what they should know. Comparing subject’s show how they are similar, while contrasting them show how they are different, what I can see in this chapter that when you reflect on similarities and differences, you gain a deeper understanding of the items you are comparing, their relationship to each other, and what is most important about them. 

CHAPTER 12 ( Cause and Effect )


                                The cause and effect essay explains the reasons of the event or interprets the consequences of the event. You may open your essay with a well-known outcome or situation and study what caused such a result. Another way of starting such an essay is to describe some event and then analyze its consequences. Many students find difficulty in differentiating cause and effect. If you want to define the cause of something, ask yourself “why”. Ask yourself “what” and you will determine the effect. The preparatory stage of writing this essay suggests your determining causes and effects. There may be too many causes for you to cover in your essay and you are to choose the main for presenting them in the scope of your writing. You should explain the reader that there are some other minor reasons not covered in your essay. It is important to decide whether you are writing to inform or to persuade the reader and accordingly choose your writing style, I advise to concentrate only on the most recent and direct causes (effects). Using supporting information will strengthen your essay. Feel free to provide the reader with facts, give examples. You may finish your cause and effect essay with a call for action.

CHAPTER 11 ( Description and Reflection )


                      When writing a reflection essay, keep to the basic rules of five paragraph essay; give an introductory paragraph that tells about the author, the document, and the issue or issues you will develop. Develop your idea by dividing it into several important points and, therefore, into several paragraphs, give solid background information. You can either put it into separate paragraphs, or weave into writing. Use topic sentences, identify and comment on specific issues addressed in the selected text, give examples, answer the five: who, what, where, who, and when, provide some sense of the importance of this writing for your own faith development. Use good sentence structure, avoid sentence fragments and fused sentences. Descriptive essay strive to create a deeply involved and vivid experience for the reader. Great descriptive essays achieve this affect not through facts and statistics but by using detailed observation and descriptions. There’s one thing we should remember as when we write our descriptive essay that we have to show the different between showing and telling. 

CHAPTER 10 ( Narration and Decription )


                          Description lists the appearance, smell, mood, or other characteristics of something. Descriptive text might account the appearance of a person (he had blue eyes, a big nose, and curly brown hair), or the details of a location, or some other element that lets you immerse yourself into the story. Descriptive text adds the details that help you visualize the characters and events in your mind's eye. It — quite literally — describes a person, place, or thing. Narration is the act of giving an account. The narrator is the person or entity within a story that tells the story to the reader. The ability to describe something convincingly will serve a writer well in any kind of essay situation. The most important thing to remember is that your job as writer is to show, not tell. If you say that the tree is beautiful, your readers are put on the defensive: "Wait a minute," they think. "We'll be the judge of that! Show us a beautiful tree and we'll believe." Do not rely, then, on adjectives that attempt to characterize a thing's attributes. Lovely, exciting, interesting – these are all useful adjectives in casual speech or when we're pointing to something that is lovely, etc., but in careful writing they don't do much for us; in fact, they sound hollow. Let nouns and verbs do the work of description for you. With nouns, your readers will see; with verbs, they will feel. In the following paragraph, taken from George Orwell's famous anti-imperialist essay, "Shooting an Elephant," see how the act of shooting the elephant delivers immense emotional impact. What adjectives would you expect to find in a paragraph about an elephant? big? grey? Loud? Enormous? Do you find them here? Watch the verbs, instead. Notice, too, another truth about description: when time is fleeting, slow down the prose. See how long the few seconds of the shooting can take in this paragraph.

CHAPTER 9 ( Form of College Writing )


                         In this chapter on the three divisions into which most college curricula is divided, the departments of and types of writing in each division. The three curricular divisions are humanities, social sciences and natural and applied sciences. To name a few examples, Humanities is made up of departments such as archeology, dance, English, history, religion and woman’s studies. Social science is made of departments such as criminology, genetics, government and psychology. Natural and applied sciences are made up of departments such as anatomy, biology, computer science, and zoology. By showing a few examples of each division, you can tell that humanities focus more on human culture, cultural trends and religion; social sciences studies human behavior and societies, while natural and applied sciences focus the aspects of nature. This chapter also briefly shows you what types and traits of writing take place in each division.

CHAPTER 8 ( ONE WRITER'S PROCESS )


                    Writing is a process that involves at least four distinct steps: prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing. It is known as a recursive process. While you are revising, you might have to return to the prewriting step to develop and expand your ideas. Prewriting is anything you do before you write a draft of your document. It includes thinking; taking notes, talking to others, brainstorming, outlining, and gathering information, although prewriting is the first activity you engage in, generating ideas is an activity that occurs throughout the writing process. Drafting occurs when you put your ideas into sentences and paragraphs. Here you concentrate upon explaining and supporting your ideas fully. Here you also begin to connect your ideas. Regardless of how much thinking and planning you do, the process of putting your ideas in words changes them; often the very words you select evoke additional ideas or implications. Don't pay attention to such things as spelling at this stage. This draft tends to be writer-centered: it is you telling yourself what you know and think about the topic. Revision is the key to effective documents. Here you think more deeply about your readers' needs and expectations. The document becomes reader-centered. How much support will each idea need to convince your readers? Which terms should be defined for these particular readers? Is your organization effective? Do readers need to know X before they can understand Y? At this stage you also refine your prose, making each sentence as concise and accurate as possible. Make connections between ideas explicit and clear. Editing Check for such things as grammar, mechanics, and spelling. The last thing you should do before printing your document is to spell checks it. Don't edit your writing until the other steps in the writing process are complete.

CHAPTER 7 ( Submitting Writing and Creating Portfolio )


                        Submitting a final paper is the driving force behind writing, it explain why you may have spent so much time planning, drafting, and revising any essay or a paper in the first place to express your feeling and thoughts, the most important form of submitting is sharing a finished piece of writing with your instructor and writing peers, and it also the most helpful, you have to make sure to format your writing, which mean a good page design makes your writing clear and easy to follow, the submission method is appropriate for assignment, program, and goals, and its develop the skills, may this chapter show you how to prepare your writing for any audience.

CHAPTER 6 ( Editing and Proofreading )


                      In this chapter an author is talking about the Editing and proofreading. When you must prepare your writing, you must edit and proofread your revised writing so that it speaks clearly and accurately. When you edit, look first for words, phrases, checking for sentences style, avoid these sentence problems that sounds unclear. When you proofread, check your writing for spelling, and grammar errors. The Editing and proofreading are the second step after revising to look for any errors. I think that will help you avoiding mistakes and look over again. 

CHAPTER 5 ( Revising )


                       In this chapter an author is talking about revising. Good writing almost always requires revising which help the writer to first drafts until he says exactly what he mean, examine your ideas, examine your thoughts. to prepare your writing effectively and carries out your message you advise to connect your ideas before you writing to determine what can be changed, what need to be added, what information needed to be appear, in order to get appropriate feedback and better respond . 

CHAPTER 4 ( Drafting )



                      In this chapter the author is describes a draft as a way of getting material together, and connecting ideas, and also he describes the steps in which you plan out the essay structure and the main writing moves that occur during the development of a piece of writing, in every essay you need to have the beginning, middle, and end. At the beginning it’s important to engage your reader, identify the topic, and get to the point, at the middle you need to cover your main points, raise questions, build interest, and clarify your main point, at the end you need to be able to remind the reader of the purpose, and gain the reader acceptance. Working through the previous steps helps you to find out what you want you’re writing to do, what you want it to say, and how you want to say it.

CHAPTER 3 ( Planning )


                         When you plan an essay, you have two basic thinking objectives (1) establish a thesis or focus for your writing, and (2) organize the supporting information you can approach the composition of an essay using a number of different writing strategies. Some people like to start writing and wait to see what develops. Others work up scraps of ideas until they perceive a shape emerging. However, if you are in any doubt at all, it's a good idea to plan your work. The task of writing is usually much easier if you create a set of notes which outline the points you are going to make. Using this approach, you will create a basic structure on which your ideas can be built. 2. Plan this is a part of the essay-writing process which is best carried out using plenty of scrap paper. Get used to the idea of shaping and re-shaping your ideas before you start writing, editing and rearranging your arguments as you give them more thought. Planning on-screen using a word-processor is possible, but it's a fairly advanced technique. 3. Analyze the question Make sure you understand what the question is asking for. What is it giving you the chance to write about? What is its central issue? Analyze any of its key terms and any instructions. If you are in any doubt, ask your tutor to explain what is required. 4. Generate ideas you need to assemble ideas for the essay. On a first sheet of paper, make a note of anything which might be relevant to your answer. These might be topics, ideas, observations, or instances from your study materials. Put down anything you think of at this stage.

CHAPTER 2 ( Beginning the Writing Process )


                   Here you will be able to produce essays and papers that reflect your best thinking through the following: understand the rhetorical situation subject and form, audience-who they are, what they know,and what they need,purpose of the writing,and main action, in order to develop writing that meets the needs, make decision, finding suitable subject and explain what main action you must perform.

CHAPTER 1 ( Critical Thinking )


                     The writer must always develop his text with awareness of reader’s perspective, and has to know firsthand what good reading is.We need to think through viewing, to read image actively, and to interpret what is meant by an image, viewing image will be using to identify the general impression and relate the image parts to one another.Critical thinking through writing must show the ability of thinking critically, be curious and ask why, what is creative, focus, and get involved.Thats will lead the audience to understand effectively.

My first time at Chiang Mai Zoo


"My First Time At Chiang Mai Zoo"

 
         When asking people about their favorite place, it could be somewhere cool , 
nice , quiet , scenic or memorable.For me the first place that comes to mind is The Chiang
Mai Zoo in my country (Thailand).
                      Chiang Mai Zoo is organized under the patronage of His Majesty the king of 
Thailand, was established in 1974 by Mr. Harold Mason Young. It has an area of more than 
200 acres, house more than 8,000 animals in an evergreen environment comprising two 
waterfalls , reservoirs  , an open camping spots and animal bleeding areas.
                      My first visit to this zoo was when I 15 years old. I went there with my parent 
during our family holiday. At this time Chiang Mai Zoo was a pride for this province and a 
center for displaying animals from the Northern in Thailand hemisphere. However, when I 
got older, I rarely paid a visit. Because this place was for families or little kids, not suitable
for teenagers like me.
                      In 2004, I returned to Chiang Mai Zoo again because this place had new
animals. It's the Giant Panda. The government of China gave a couple giant panda as a 
friendship ambassador and to celebrated her Majesty the Queen's 6 cycle birthday anniversary.
At that time was new kind of animal for Thai people. I was so exciting to see the real giant 
panda for the first time in my life. I was walking and wondering around for an hour before. 
I reached my destination, the giant panda's cage.

 









                    

                             I just laid down on a place of lawn and watched many parents seeing and 
exciting with giant panda. Since The Chiang Mai Zoo was a public zoo an admission fee 
was relatively cheap so that everybody could come and learn about animal no matter how 
rich or poor. Also, this zoo had the Twilight Zoo which mean it opened at night. My parents 
and I were exciting and enjoying about the zoo too. I saw my mom pointed at running deers. 
I heard a tour guide giving a brief explanation about history of Giant Panda from China to
his followers.
                      It was a fun exploration and observation day in my childhood. It gave me a 
wonderful experience and knowledge about my native animals as well as other country's icon
animal such as panda from China, penguin from South Pole and Elephant from Thailand. I 
will always keep this place in my memory.
