Accidents occurs everywhere and anytime. We can’t say when and where will the accident will happen. Having safety with everything we do is a better way to prevent it.

Safety first sign was not just be seen on a constructions site. Even at home at the kitchen, at the garage, working places anywhere that we think we need a reminder that we have to always be careful.

Some people after having an accident that is the time they think that before they had an accident they think of being careful but they didn’t so. That’s why accident happens to them. So why wait for us to have an accident, safety measure can prevent us from having an accident so always keep on our mind to be careful in all we do and always safety first.

Many plants that you can find in your kitchen or backyard can be used to heal common illnesses. These plants are called medicinal or herbal plants. The most ingredients used in making commercial medicines actually come from plants.

Life’s problems are numerous and as long as one is alive and kicking he will always be faced with problems, be they big or small. Such problems stir-up one’s emotion or feelings which maybe pleasant or unpleasant. Unpleasant encounters result in frustration. Frustrations vary from person to person.

First let us define frustration before we indulge in the problems that they bring about. Frustration is a stirred-up state of hopefulness that results when a person is prevented from reaching a particular value-goal to which he has aspired or is prevented from satisfaction of a motive.

Parallel construction is the repetition of the same initial words in a sequence of phrases or sentences. As a desirable way to word the main points within the overall structure of a speech. But parallel construction also works in introductions as a way to focus listeners on a vital first thought. Note, for example, how Leslie Eason introduced her classroom tribute to golfer Tiger Woods:
You’re at the Western Open where Tiger Woods could be Elvis resurrected. People clap when he pulls out the club, they clap when he hits the ball, they clap no matter where that ball lands. They clap if he smiles. They clap because he is.
Parallel construction also can work in conclusions, when it puts the final imprint on thoughts developed in the speech. Senator Dan Coats of Indiana, speaking at the Stony Brook School after a discussion of the Holocaust, used the following parallel construction:
Hate is not dead. It does not even sleep.
We see it displayed in racism that finds new victims, and reopens old wounds.
We see it when a synagogue is desecrated.
We see it when a homosexual is attacked and beaten.
We saw it when flame touched tinder in Los Angeles and Asian shopkeepers were assaulted in the riot.
We saw it in Florida when a murder was committed in the name of the pro-life cause.3°
Parallel construction suggests strength of conviction, a desirable trait of ethos.

Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in closely connected words. One student speaker who was criticizing the lowering of educational standards paused near the conclusion of her speech, then made the following emphatic statement: “We don’t need the doctrine of dumbing down.” Her repetition of the “d” sound was distinctive, and helped listeners remember her point. It made her and her case seem strong and impressive. Alliteration can be effective in the introductions and conclusions of action-oriented speeches. But be careful not to overdo it—if used too frequently, it can sound contrived. Save it for the moments that really count.

The work of language is cumulative: That is, to achieve action, we must help listeners see a situation clearly, arouse their feelings about what they see, and bring them together into a group prepared to act. This implies that all the language techniques we have described—from simile to universal images— can contribute to the work of encouraging action. There are, however, certain techniques especially suited to meet this challenge. These resources can help speakers build the kind of ethos that will make them respected advice-givers and leaders in persuasive and ceremonial situations.
In persuasive situations especially, the ethos of the speaker is a central consideration. After all, taking action requires time and trouble and often involves cost and risk. Do we really trust this speaker? Do we respect his judgment? Does she have our good at heart? These questions rise as we hesitate on the threshold of action.
Special techniques that help build the ethos of the speaker and stir listeners to act include alliteration, parallel construction, inversion, and antithesis.

A final technique that helps awaken feelings, especially when the subject is abstract, is personification. Personification involves treating inanimate subjects, such as ideas or institutions, as though they had human form or feeling. In the late spring of 1989, Chinese students demonstrating for freedom marched in Tiananmen Square carrying a statue they called the “Goddess of Liberty.” They were borrowing a personification that has long been used in the Western world: the representation of liberty as a woman. When those students then had to confront tanks, and their oppressors destroyed the symbol of liberty, it was easy for many, living thousands of miles away in another culture, to feel angry and to identify with their cause. Personification makes it easier to arouse feelings about people and values that might otherwise seem distant.

Using Presentation Aids. Practice using the presentation aid until it seems a natural part of your presentation. Always talk to your audience and not to your presentation aid, and keep the aid out of sight when it is not in use. As you consider the use of presentation aids, be sensitive to their potential ethical impact. Be certain that your presentation aid represents its subject without distortion.
