What are the Parts of composition writing?
A good composition should have the 3 basic parts
1. Beginning - Introduction
2. Middle - Body
3. End - Conclusion
If you want it to be more clear, then you may use the P-R-E-P
P - point (what is your point?) this is like the Introduction.
R - reason (what is the reason for your point? [Body]
E - example (what example(s) can you give to support your reason?) [Body]
P - point (go back to your point to conclude your composition) [Conclusion]
N.B. Do not write anything in your introduction if you cannot explain it in your body. and do not wriote anything in your body which you did not properly introduce in your introduction. Same thing with the conclusion, so not write anything in the conclusion if you did not mention it in the body.
What are natural calamities how it occurs?
Natural calamities are the calamities which are inflicted by God, or Nature, on man and his world. At these calamities, the unseen hand wreaks havoc in the part of the world it chooses to act upon. On these natural activities of nature no scientific or technological developments can wield any control. They can occur as and when and where nature ordains it.
Natural calamities can be of many different kinds, but the similarity in all, is their massive destruction in the area of their occurrence. The natural disasters are of many kinds, they are drought and famine, flood, earthquake, hailstorm and a cyclone. In the wake of all these, in one sweep there is complete devastation and destruction, due to which normal life comes to a standstill. Loss of life is well nigh complete, and belongings of people get lost, blown away or swept away. The scene is one of awe, of some unknown power that appears to wreak some revenge on the people of the area. One feels that, there will never again be life in the area, there will never again come up any construction in the area. But, nature plays its part in this also,and even after the most ghastly disasters, life has come up blooming as ever as before in areas of such devastation.
A very touching scene is of a drought effected area. In any country that depends on the annual rainfall for its source of water, if there is no rain, for the water supply, the obvious famine comes in its wake. This condition of getting no rain is called drought, and with it, as its automatic corollary comes famine. For with the scarcity of water there is no vegetation and food scarcity follows. The crops get burnt up with heat, the earth gets parched for water, and all life seems to be cracking in the heat.
Just the opposite condition occurs when there is a flood. A flood is another from of a natural calamity. On the one hand, we find men dying due to want of water while on the other, in flood we see them marooned by huge expanses of water. High rise buildings start as if floating in water, men, livestock, and materials get an opportunity of floating, swimming and even drowing. If this flood is accompanied with a storm then there is no panacea for the sufferers. With the impact of the strong breeze, trees get uprooted and there appears no hope for the survival of life.
Regarding an earthquake, Oh God, the earth cracks and creeps with the huge solid face of the earth moving light as light as a cradle, moving in a loving soft breeze. However, this cradle of love is no less than a destruction of the highest magnitude, and causes massive destruction as of the other calamities. The earth appears to be crying under the weight of civilization and breaking and cracking in places with an unwarranted speed. The result of this swing like action of the earth is, the occurrence of cracks big and small in different places and, the falling of huge high rise buildings, felling of trees and complete annihilation of life and materials.
A hailstorm and a cyclone also result in absolute disaster and breakdown of lige. The latest of such tragedies has been a cyclone in the Gujarat state of India. Trees have been blown off their very roots, and houses and huge buildings have been as if dug out of their very foundation, and all life has been destroyed or dislocated.
As far as India is concerned, I feel that, nature has been very kind on the one hand and very cruel yes very cruel on the other. I say this because, not one year goes when there has been no natural disaster. However, when such calamities do occur in India, the entire Indian machinery, Governmental or non-government does fear up to provide succour to the disturbed area. The Government sanctions crores of rupees for the rehabilitation of the people in the area, food and medicines are air dropped and the entire country feels and acts together. However, it is a matter of thought that, even after 50 years of self rule, the Government has not been able to take any concrete steps to avert such natural disasters. For example in Assam every year there is a flood in the River Brahmaputra and then the machinery is geared up to take the people out of the trouble, but, no success has been achieved in averting the disaster.
It is to be thought of why we have not been able to avert the calamities which are annual. For if know of a calamity that is to come, we should be able to save ourselves from it. At this juncture, let us analyse why and how these calamities have remained unchecked even when we are so deep into civilization and development. The obvious reasons to my mind are two - one that, we are not able to, and second, we are not sufficiently interested in removing the hazard. I feel the Indian scenario is a combination of the two causes. We are not able to check them and also we are not as serious as we should be in trying to prevent these tragedies. For example in Assam, as just mentioned, every year without fail, there are floods. Though there has been instituted a Brahhmaputra Board that has done some work to clean the river, and increase the stretch of the river bed, the floods come non-stop. This proves another point that, man has no power over the will of nature. Though to-day man thinks that he can do everything and nature is now irrelevant, yet, all his efforts to counter the pangs of nature fall flat and fail. The repeated disasters that befall on earth are a continuous reminder to man that there is always a hand that can undo all that man does. For if this was not true, man would be ruling like a monarch on earth without a fear but, as we all know, this is not so. Nature plays its game off and on and gives pin pricks to this self styled monarch to remind him of his drawbacks and disabilities, and keep him in a balanced state of mind.

How do you write a letter of explanation for late?
==New Answer == If you are referring to writing a letter say to a mortgage company to explain past derogatories on your credit report, just be honest. Of course, the sympathy factor does come into play. Lenders don't want to hear that you just forgot or well better late than never, we want to hear, unfortunately, "sob" stories (as long as they are true) i.e. illness, divorce, loss of job, etc. and what measures,if any, were taken to rectify the problems. ==Letter of Explanation== When it comes to letters of explanation, keep it short and to the point. For example, you may be asked to explain not only that you experienced some sort of temporary difficulty, but also that the situation was temporary and has since been rectified. Don't waste your time or the stamp.You still get the late fee no matter what and they don't care.
Tips for fast and neat handwriting?
Just write joined up and use a fountain pen it helps. Make sure the instrument you write with has a smooth tip so you won't be expending energy into the mere act of writing whatever you need to write. What you want to focus on is simply getting the words down onto paper, so that's the first step.
If your goal is to write more thoughts down onto paper, regardless of what represents the thought (whether that be entire words or what you should focus on--by abbreviation). Things don't necessarily have to be technically abbreviated the "correct" way; just shorthand a few words that you know you're going to be writing more than once or twice every now and then (ex: In American history class, abbreviate "American" by "Am" if you find you're frequently using it in your notes).
If your objective is to simply write at a faster speed words unchanged (NOT using abbreviation), I write at a slant--like cursive almost, but intertwining print where it's just naturally faster to write whichever letter in the word(s). The more comfortable your hand is writing, the easier it is to write faster, and everything comes through with practice.
The formation of letters needs to become both legible and fast - it needs to be practiced so often that it becomes 'automatic' - so that the writer no longer has to think about how to form letters and words. Practice increases the accuracy of fine motor control and as this increases, it opens up a whole new world - the writer is now free to focus on the content - that is to write their thoughts and ideas, to write what they want to write about without being distracted by having to remember how to write each letter of each word as they go along! Research has shown that it is best for both right-handers and Left-handers to begin in a relaxed way with the rhythmic patterns that underpin handwriting. This approach avoids muscular tensions stemming from anxiety and results in the child developing a personal style that is legible, fluent and fast so that they can write quickly enough to get down what they want to say while it is still in their head.

How do you write the date correctly in English?
Well, people do it differently, but the main difference from some European styles is that we list the month, then the day, then the year. So, you would write November 9, 2007 or 11/9/07 usually. Sometimes you need a 4 digit year for software, or a teacher asks for a certain style in a paper, or you need to include the day of the week for instance... but either of those work if you are just putting the date at the top of a letter. The written-out month is preferred in formal writing.
________
It depends on where you live and who you work for.
In the US it's usually mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy
in the military it's dd Month yyyy
in Europe they do dd/mm/yy
So go with the local flow

Critical Thinking is such a vast, complex subject because it is very broad in scope, as to everything it entails. Critical thinking can best be summed up as, "consider the source!"
When you see a commercial on TV, when your parents set rules, when your friends are asking you to do something, when a politician is trying to bag your vote, when you hear a story from a disadvantaged person, when you hear a sermon in a church, when you are taught various subjects in school, and any other way that you take in information: WHAT IS THE MOTIVATION, WHAT IS THE RATIONALIZATION, OR WHAT IS THE ACCURACY AND BELIEVABILITY OF THE INFORMATION THAT IS BEING PRESENTED TO YOU?
Critical thinkers scrutinize information that they are given, and then make intelligent determinations about the information at hand whether he or she should act in any way; whether it's to believe in a certain view point, buy a certain product, or plain just say no.
Juries have to employ the skill of critical thinking when determining guilt of a person charged with a crime (or so we hope). In some extreme cases, witnesses will lie, police might violate a defendant's rights, some evidence will not be "beyond a reasonable doubt", and so on.
Critical thinking requires a lot of knowledge, and then making an informed decision in a given matter, wherein if you act without a certain tidbit of knowledge or consideration, you could loose money, property, friends, or even risk harm to yourself.

What are the best ways to communicate and why?
The best way to communicate is either in person or over the phone. While email seems to be the easiest way, I don't believe it's the best way. You can hear or see a reaction to your conversation via email. I also believe an email can be taking out of context just by the way its written.
Another Perspective
It all depends on what type of information is being transmitted and why. Many times it is best to communicate in writing, especially if you will need proof the information was transmitted. Email, voicemail, phone, messenger, sending flowers, through a friend, in person, visual presentation- are all other possibilities depending on the circumstances. However, not any one is thebest way since there are many reasons communication is necessary.
