An article is a useful tool that may be used to teach, inform or amuse the reader on a topic.Articles may appear in magazines, newspapers, the Internet, etc. As any other type of writing, creating an article involves certain steps to follow. In the first place, we should think of an eye catching title to attract readers’ attention. The second step is to write the introduction of the article in which we define the topic of our piece of writing. Following the introduction, the main body should be written to develop the topic, and last, but not least, the conclusion paragraph should summarise the topic of our article.

Entry#9- Refugees part 1 and 2 The poem “We refugees” by Benjamin Zephaniah reflects the harsh reality of those who, for different reasons, had to leave their homeland. Zepaniah’s piece of writing shows us how refugees are looked at. Seldom do we think about  “the price they have to pay”,  often being victims of discrimination, rejection, condemnation and usually deprived of dignity, for they do not belong either to their homeland or the new one in which they expect to be accepted. The poem is an invitation to reflect on the cruel reality to which refugees are exposed, and it also invites us to generate empathy for them. As Benjamin Zepaniah states  “We can all be refugees…. We can all be hated for someone” . By saying this, he points out the importance of being empathetic, since any of us could be in a similar situation at any time, and this idea is reinforced with the phrase  “We all came from refugees”.

Some of these sources ranged from divine powers to physical features that may have allowed the production of speech.     The Divine Source formulated that a divine source provided humans with language. To prove this, some experiments were carried out and they consisted of isolating babies as to have them only speak the God-given language.   Another theory about the origin of speech is the Natural Sound Source. The Onomatopoeic Theory stated that language may have originated from the imitation and association of sounds to the object. In modern languages, we can find examples in words such as splash, boom, bang, among others. Another theory within the Natural Sound Source, called...
