Relative clauses

What is a relative clause? We can use relative clauses to join two English sentences, or to give more information about something. I bought a new car. It is very fast. → I bought a new car that is very fast. She lives in New York. She likes living in New York. → She lives in New York, which she likes. Defining and Non-defining A  defining relative clause  tells which noun we are talking about: I like the woman who lives next door. (If I don't say 'who lives next door', then we don't know which woman I mean). A  non-defining relative clause  gives us extra information about something. We don't need this information to understand the sentence. I live in London, which has some fantastic parks. (Everybody knows where London is, so 'which has some fantastic parks' is extra information). Defining relative clauses: 1: The relative pronoun is the subject: First, let's consider when the relative pronoun is the subject of ...

Child Labor Essay Writing Sample

Child labor is a situation where young children are employed to work on firms, homes, hotels, and firms. The practice is common in developing countries but is limited in developed nations where it is considered to be illegal and a violation of human rights. The history of child labor can be traced back to the Victorian era. During this period, children were forced to work in mines and factories. Child labor also played a critical role during the industrial revolution. In this case, children as young as five years were forced to work in manufacturing industries under poor working conditions. The introduction of child rights and human rights into the constitution of most countries has slowly curbed child labor. In Britain, for instance, the Factory Acts demands that children not more than ten years should not be allowed to work. Child labor is mainly contributed by poverty. Most parents send their children to work so that they can bring the much needed income. The practice is commo...

How to Write a Recipe

Instructions 1 Give your recipe a name. It doesn't need to be anything fancy-just something to describe the dish and distinguish it from similar recipes. Naming your recipes will let you tell Irish Stew from Mulligan Stew quickly. 2 Specify the number of servings the dish will provide. This lets you, and those with whom you share your recipes, know when to double the recipe or cut it in half to suit the number of guests. 3 Indicate the pans and utensils needed to prepare the recipe. This will keep you from getting halfway through the recipe and realizing you don't have that 10-quart stock pot or lemon zester. 4 List the recipe's ingredients, in the order in which they're used. Make sure you list the amount of each ingredient needed, and specify whether frozen ingredients should be thawed, canned ingedients drained or fresh ingredients chopped. 5 Note the oven, broiler or grill temperature to be preset and whether...
