Linking words A linking word is a word which shows a connection between clauses or sentences. Linking words improve your fluency in English, as they help you to create longer sentences. Moreover, they help to guide your reader through your writing. In unit 3 you’ll go into more detail.

How to Start a Blog or Website: Step-by-Step Instructions The first thing we did was go to Bluehost and register our domain. We didn’t even need to set up a WordPress page first, since Bluehost does all that for you. Bluehost’s basic price is $3.95 a month, which works for 99% of people.

Then, we did a simple install of WordPress through Bluehost. When we had questions we were able to chat with the ‘live chat’ folks at Bluehost for free; they pointed us in the right direction and made the set-up super easy.

Genesis is WordPress theme frameworks on the market, but We looked at the framework first. There are several es merely them Genesis is the first half of your theme. Many without a doubt the best and most flexible choice. e. Simply Them Child your provides a necessary foundation for handle the aesthetics of your new blog, but Genesis b . go to StudioPress and purchase the Genesis Framework But good news: it’s easier than you think. We’ve learned a ton during our ascent to 2 million readers. And now you can learn from our pain and suffering to circumvent* much of the tedium* involved in creating a successful blog.

Here’s how we started our blog, step by step.

c

Once we had our domain, hosting, WordPress, and theme, we spent a lot of time tweaking* the theme to get the look and feel we wanted (i.e., making our vision a reality). Then we spent even more time tweaking the theme, arguing about it and tweaking it some more. We also set up a free Feedburner account so people could subscribe to our site via email and RSS subscriptions. And then we established a free Google Analytics account to track our stats. Feedburner and Google Analytics were both easy to sign up for, and we still use both today. d

After you get your Genesis Framework, you’ll want to find that right Child Theme (which is just a silly way to say ‘blog design’). The Minimalists uses the beautiful ‘tru’ theme, which is availabl e at BYLT, the Genesis Community Marketplace. Head on over to BYLT, browse their carefully curated collection of themes, and find the design that’s right for you.

e

So you want to start a blog or a website, but you don’t have any idea where to start, right? Guess what – neither did we. We were clueless. Literally. When we started The Minimalists a few years ago, we had no idea how to start a blog. We could hardly spell HTML, let alone build a beautiful website. f

online and we designed our logo using free images we found Last but not least, let’s focus on the content. First, important is (this r heade we put a picture of ourselves in the text from a regular word-processing program. Then g them postin and posts blog new g Finally we started writin because people identify with people, not logos). g y. regularly (at least once a week). And the rest is histor Next, we had to decide which theme to use. A good theme gives you the look and feel you want for your blog, allowing you to design your blog exactly how you want it to look. If you’re not a coder (we certainly weren’t), then a theme makes the design work a million times easier. Plus, once you purchase a theme, which are inexpensive for the time they save you, you own it for life. A theme has two halves: the framework (the bones) and the Child Theme (the beauty). h to circumvent: to find a way of avoiding something a tedium: a long and boring activity to tweak: to change something slightly to try to improve it

rite a blog entry that describes how you first came into contact with social media and W how your use of social media has evolved up until now.

Why? To prove that you can write a well-structured text, using linking words.

What matters? Correct use of the (past) tense(s), structure of the text, use of linking words, use of newly acquired vocabulary.

Have social media changed the way we speak and write English?

There’s no (a) … that social media have transformed the way we interact with each other. From sharing our thoughts and photos to planning a night out, most people tend to organise their social lives, or at least have it significantly influence them, through some form of technology-based engagement. But, has this shift away from more physical interaction actually (b) … the way we speak and write English?

First of all, social media have forced us to keep it short. They have enabled us to communicate with a much larger number of people on a global scale in a way that we only really used to be able to do on a local level. This is great when it means we’re keeping friendships alive over great distances, but it’s also increasing the demands placed on an individual to keep a much larger number of relationships going (c) … .

The average number of friends a person has on Facebook in the UK is around 300 – even if you’re only actually really friends with, say, 10% of that number that’s still 30 friendships to be maintaining.

The result? An ever-increasing speed of communication.

Facebook lets you communicate quickly, effectively and, most importantly, efficiently because written exchanges are concise and shared between all the friends you are connected with, meaning you only need to write them once. On Twitter there’s a 140 character limit, so even if you’re not against the clock you are quite literally forced to make the statement brief.

Other examples are the use of (d) … – an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of other words and pronounced as a word – and (e) … – a representation of a facial expression such as a smile or frown, formed by various combinations of keyboard characters. (d) … are now commonplace substitutes to whole sentences; LOL (laugh out loud), OMG (Oh my God), TTYL (talk to you later) are just a few that demonstrate how social media speed things up by lessening the need to write longer phrases and reduces space. (e) … are used to convey what the user is feeling or to express the intended tone without actually having to write it. You could argue that this is a lazy form of writing, but social media aren’t a process of creative writing (at least not in the traditional sense), it’s a fast and convenient way of interacting with an audience.

Secondly, language is an evolving thing. It’s naive to think that the language of social media isn’t having an effect on the way we use English in day-to-day life. It’s more appropriate to consider just how much of an effect it’s having on the way we communicate.

For starters, a whole host of words originating from social media and the wider Internet have become so commonplace that they’ve now slipped into popular usage, and we don’t even realise it. Just a few interesting words that have their origins in technology are (f) … – the collective word for personal websites called blogs-, (g) … – someone who creates conflict online by starting arguments or upsetting people – and (h) … – a word or phrase that is fashionable at a particular time or in a particular context. Even some acronyms have made the transition into everyday speech as words, ‘lol’ for example.

Another curious phenomenon we’ve seen in recent years is the reappropriation of existing words and words based on brands to refer primarily to their social media context. Reappropriation is the cultural

Unit 1 Man is by nature a social beast

15

55

process by which a group claims words that were previously used in a certain way and gives them a new meaning. In this way the people who engage with social media are quite literally creating new words and giving new meanings to existing words. ‘Friended’ and ‘unfriended’ are two examples of words that have been given a new meaning due to their usage online. The word ‘friend’ and ‘befriend’ is from Old English originating in the 13th Century, but it has been given an entirely new meaning thanks to Facebook (the process of adding or removing someone from your circle of friends). ‘Like’ and ‘viral’ are other popular examples of words that have had their meaning reappropriated by social media. There are even examples of this lifted directly from social media too; ‘tweet it’ refers to writing a message using Twitter, but has essentially come to mean ‘share it’.

So, have social media changed the way we speak and write English?

Yes, undeniably. Just think, ten years ago, if someone you’d just met asked you to ‘be their friend’ or ‘Instagram’ a photo of their lunch, you’d have scratched your head and wondered if in fact they were feeling alright.

How to change your privacy settings on Facebook 1

23a

It’s a well-known fact that having a Facebook account isn’t great for your privacy. If you aren’t careful, you could post the wrong thing to the world and get in trouble at work, school, with family or even the law. So, it should come as no surprise when I say that having the right Facebook privacy settings is critical. It keeps the wrong people from seeing what you post.

Even if you think you already have them set correctly, Facebook changes its settings and where they’re located frequently so you should double-check regularly.

Start by logging in to your Facebook account. Then click the downward arrow in the upper-right corner and choose Settings.

The Privacy tab controls who can see what you post and who can contact and find you. In the ‘Who can see my stuff ’ menu, you should set ‘Who can see my stuff ’ to ‘friends’. After you’ve done that, you should click the ‘Limit Past Posts’ link to limit the audience for posts you’ve shared with

friends of friends or public to ‘friends’.

Next, also have a look at the ‘Who can contact me?’ menu. If you want to keep strangers from contacting you, you should put the settings to ‘friends of friends’. You could also switch from ‘Basic Filtering’ to ‘Strict Filtering’ to weed out a lot of the messages you receive.

Under ‘Who can look me up?’ you want to change the settings to ‘friends,’ ‘friends’ and ‘No.’ This makes it much harder for strangers or stalkers to find you if they just have a phone number, email address or know your name. Keep in mind, this will also stop old friends from easily finding you.

Father’s death was ‘final act’ of bullying · Accused pair deny east London shooting · Victim’s life made a misery by gang, jury told

A young father who had been the victim of a campaign of violence and harassment

was shot dead shortly after he confronted a group of youths near his home in east London, a jury was told yesterday.

Two teenagers have pleaded not guilty to the murder – the ‘final chapter’ in a long catalogue of bullying.

Peter Woodhams, 22, of Custom House, east London, was shot four times at close range* on the doorstep of his home in August last year, the court heard, and died in front of his fiancee and young son.

and a 17-year-old, who cannot be named because of his age, both deny murder and firearms offences.

Prosecutor* Brian Altman said that in January last year Woodhams was stabbed in the neck during a dispute with a group of youths.

No one was arrested for that attack.

Before the shooting, he had been “subject to bullying by a group of local youths who had made Woodhams’ life and those of his family a complete misery,” Mr Altman told the court.

“Shooting him dead was the final chapter in this campaign of violence and bullying that had permeated* Mr Woodhams’ life over that period of time.”

Earlier, Woodhams had confronted a group after one kicked a football into the path of his car, forcing him to swerve*.

He drove after the youths and chased them.

One witness had heard Tucker “ranting and raving. He was shouting something like ‘fucking tosser, if he wants it he can have it, if he comes back round here he’ll get it, I’ll have him.’”

“Clearly Mr Woodhams had had enough.

It appeared very much as if he had set out to confront the group of youths who he considered had been responsible for plaguing him,” said Mr Altman.

The court was told that there were no

immediate arrests after the murder but that Bradley Tucker had later handed himself into the police.

The other youth, who was 16 at the time of the shooting, was arrested at his home a day later, the jury heard. He has denied knowing Woodhams. When interviewed by the police, he also denied taking part in or assisting in the murder.

Mr Altman said that the two teenagers had been seen close to the murder scene.

There was also CCTV footage which showed them arriving and running away into a block of flats after the shooting.

“Shots were fired and Mr Woodhams moved as if to trying to dodge the bullets* before collapsing to the ground,” said Mr Altman, describing the shooting.

Woodhams was struck in the chest by a shot that pierced his left lung and then his heart. He suffered massive blood loss and the shot proved fatal. He had also been struck in the hand as he tried to protect himself and another shot had grazed his chin. He collapsed and died in front of his fiancée, Jane Bowden, and their son.

A neighbour had found what he believed was a home-made bullet after the shooting. However, the officer who was given it “thought the object could be a screw or some other building-type material” and it has since been lost, the jury heard. The trial continues.

There is a demand for higher level technical skills, in particular to develop products and services to meet the needs of the fast-moving nature of the industry. This includes knowledge of the most up to date programming languages and systems, such as cloud computing.

Cyber security is a growing field.

Currently there are not enough experts

Large organisations, the government and social media companies, such as Facebook and Twitter, are all keen* to employ cyber experts.

Companies are looking for graduates who can combine technical skills with an understanding of broader business objectives, to be able to solve real business issues, particularly for consultancy roles. There is a demand for numerate and IT-literate graduates to work in analytics and solve business problems.
