Thanks again!

Mosquito breeding goes on unabated in rural India

The intensified antilarval measures taken up by the civic authorities during the recent outbreak of chikungunya and dengue in the rural India do not seem to have had a positive impact. Several areas continue to be mosquito-breeding centers on a large scale, researchers of the vector Biology and Control laboratory of the Andhra University have found. The laboratory officials found large density of mosquito larvae in the water samples collected from different districts. The samples were taken from East Godavari, Nellore, Srikakulam and areas near by lakes and ponds. The density was 2000 to 2100 larvae per dip of water in these localities on an average while the normal limit is less than 200 larvae per dip of water. Each dip of water contains about 300ml. The uni-dimensional method of using only chemicals to curb mosquito menace, perhaps , was the reason for this , the researchers surmise.
“Instead, an integrated mosquito management using physical, chemical and biological methods should have been taken up. Networking of various agencies involved in the efforts is also crucial. Mosquito control is a continual exercise and results cannot be expected by taking once-in-a-year anti-larval drive” says fellow Researcher with UGC on Vector control K.Hemalatha. The Vector Control Department would be submitting these recommendations in the national-level workshop on Integrated Mosquito Management to be held on Monday through Visakhapatnam municipal Commissioner Ms.Satyavathi.B.
Spreading of mosquitoes in rural Indian and need to have an integrated approach to effectively control the breeding of mosquitoes.

Hi Mr.James
I want to ask about the three main idea. do we have to concluded in the introduction or just in the body

naruto1991

HI, I really wanted to know how I can improve upon this and how I can write a thesis fro this kind of a topic…please HELP! This is my intro.-
Redemption? Destiny? “Holes” (by Louis Sachar) is an engrossing novel that revolves around these. In fact, everything, for whatever the reason might be, seems to line up, linking many generations and histories together through “Stanley Yelnats IV”, the protagonist. Nevertheless, he doesn’t know about it! Nor does he know that his endeavors have actually reformed him into a better person. This essay will now explore and examine how Stanley, unaware of what he was actually doing, set things right and how this changed him from a mousy to a confident character. The reader will discover how Stanley gets rid of a curse…a curse put on the Yelnats which completely eliminates their chances of making a fortune, in fact, is believed to be the reason they face such problems. Moreover, this “redemption” results in many worthy implications. In addition, the reader will also acquire how Stanley re-unites Zero and his missing mother. So, how does our environment affect us? Does it make us who we are? Does it change us?

Rhea

Hi Mr James, I saw two videos and I learned good advice in both reading and essay, really you have good point of view, this encourage me to improve my English.. Thank you

Miguel

miguel

James..thank you 4 da lesson you are very good, top teacher

Hassan

is this intro good

The Oxford Dictionary defines literature as written work, especially the work that lies in the beauty of language or in emotional effect. A picture is worth a thousand words, meaning just pictures can give you much information as text or spoken words. The award winning graphic novel Chinese Born American won the Best Book award in 2006/2007 because it was smashing through all genre barriers and racked up, yet another prestigious first. Persepolis is a very emotional story about a little girl and her family going through hard time while their country, Iran, is at war. Stitches is a memoir about the author, David Small, and his crazy life. Graphic novels should count as a form of literature because they are emotional, funny, crazy, etc., in other words, they attract readers in their own intelligent way.

Many Thanks

Somehow I got it… but I’m so confused about the topic and thesis, isn’t that the thesis is the same as topic? for example my thesis for my essay will be, I love cycling, because cycling is a great cardio, good for health and challenge. So do you think that’s is thesis statement or topic? please help!!!! I hate and love writing at the same time, because… I don’t get it yet… thanks

styllista82

I’m writing an essay topic the causes of civil war :) my thesis stamens is, Thus the civil war was the revolution war socially, economically and politically.

I like the calculated approach James took to handle The Introduction. For me it is never easy to start an essay, my mind always wonders off the topic.

neoqueen

hanks for this video James – even as a native English speaker it is only now (when writing my undergraduate dissertation) that I have learnt how to write a good introduction! Good Job!

haxuantin

I very thank

haxuantin

thanks but can you tell me which martial art you taught

amram

thank you:)

simplefizza

Hi James! Firs of all I would like to say “Thank you”. I think you are a wonderful teacher and all your lessons are very useful. I’m glad there’s such a web site.
I’m confused because I’ve never written an essay before and it seems to be very complicated. I have to write a 350 word essay. The topic I’ve chosen is: “Why I want a university education and what I expect from it with regard to the future”. There are some grammar mistakes in the title but I have copied it from a book.
In this video (https://www.engvid.com/writing-skills-paragraph/) it is said that the paragraph should contain from four to five sentences. The introduction is a paragraph, isn’t it?
It is said in one of your lessons that the simple essay consists of five paragraphs with five sentences in which of them so it contains twenty-five sentences. 350 words divided into 25 sentences equals 14 words in a sentence. The paragraph of a simple essay should contain 70 words.
Here is the problem! My introduction contains 83 words, which are almost the half of the essay. Please, read my introduction and tell me what I’ve done wrong: “How can you get every woman’s heart – have a nice university education! There’re lots of women and men in the universities where people study interesting subjects. There people can meet someone with similar interests. Great friendships can emerge. Furthermore the studies encourage people to develop. Companies need smart people, so the university education can help you have a good start. The university education is the way that can open many doors for you and it can show you many paths in your life.”.
Thank you one more time for the great lessons!

The lesson was very clear and to the point, James! I am impressed by your teaching!

Hi James,

Thank you so much for the fantastic lesson. The only problem I had was with the captions. As I usually tell my students to use your videos, and they often use the captions; this time they were complaining about the inaccuracy of the “subtitles”! I checked them myself and saw they were so right. What you say is nothing written there…

sarash24

I am extremely impressed with you teaching methods. I do have a question about Introduction paragraph. If we use an anecdote, is there an etiquette to follow on how long it should be? I don’t want to lose my readers (my professor).

nbullard

Sorry, I used you instead of your….but my typing is a lot slower than my thinking. Good excuse??

nbullard

Thank you so much ^_^

gonyieagho

Wonderful explanation. I made notes to study later. James, where is the second part? I’m craving it.

javando

I really love the way that u teaching ?

taysir-amin

What makes a teacher become happy of teaching? It is when his/her students say ” Teacher I am learning or Teacher I learned a lot from you”. Sometimes, we tend to think that when a student tell us “teacher you are smart, or teacher you are the best in the world, or teacher you are my favorite” that will make a teacher proud and happy. In contrary, a dedicated teacher would be the happiest profession on earth if he/she sees successful students he/she taught. What’s my point here is, JAMES IS A GREAT TEACHER BECAUSE I LEARNED!!!!! AND I LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS SIMPLE LECTURE.. Honestly, I do not pick you for any lesson in this site, however, you were able to grab my attention with your advertisement topic for your lecture. From now on, I would be excited to check on new tutorial lessons from you.. I hope to successfully pass the IELTS Academic exam with your tips.

Could you please improve the sound quality?

dvallejo

This was a complete lesson with a lot of concepts to learn and a little difficult to put in practice because you have to think clearly and carefully to enchain the four parts: grabbers, topics, thesis and his relations. It was a great lesson, thanks a lot, teacher James Greer from EngVid.

CooperVarley

Dear James
I am writing an academic essay and as usual I have problems with sequence and structure. I understand the theory of your approach. It makes it sound easy, however I find it difficult to pick out proof statements or my proof statements are not adequate because I cannot write freely. I would appreciate suggestions.
