Paragraph from George Orwell’ s Nineteen Eighty Four

It was a bright cold day in April. The clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast. In effort to escape the vile wind, he slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions. Though not quickly enough. To prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him.

Beyond the small blue car, there is a tall grey building towering over everyone, with flags blowing in the wind. Behind the small blue car the is a small boy, with long black trousers and jacket, and a small blue cap. Beside the small boy there is a small orange dog with a red collar, sitting beside him.

Conversation Essay

Spoken communication is like handwriting you can modify it to sound completely different; like you might usually say ‘pasta’ but you train your voice, your brain to say ‘paasta’ or you might usually say ‘grass’ but you train you brain and voice to say ‘graass’. You can train your voice and you brain to say all these different words to make yourself sound like something else. Actors have to do this all the time, they have to nail all these different accents, they have to train there brain to say these words that they don’t say naturally.

 

Habits are normal everyone in the entire world has at least three habits, and we have habits in communicating as well; like my sister she says ‘Mk’ instead of ‘OK’ or ‘k’. My dad says says ‘grils’ instead of ‘girls’. We all have habits that make us unique and special; I have a habit  that depending o my surroundings I unintentionally how I say words and how I speak.

 

I am 100% sure that my hypothesis is correct we all have these habits that we unintentionally can’t help but show. These habits that you can’t help but show aren’t a bad thing these habits make us special.

Transcripts Evidence

  • See how in my spoken transcript my dad says instead of saying ‘come on girls’ he says ‘come on grils’ he has that word that we know him by.
  • See how in my spoken transcript again how my step sister says ‘Mk’ instead of just ‘K’ she uses that word that i know her by
  • If you read through my entire transcript you’ll find that my dad and I mostly speak in standard English; but when you read through my text transcript my English, my grammar completely changes. When I’m on the phone with my other family from overseas you ear that I pick up their accents, I start to sound and saying the same sayings as them. That’s my habit I will pick up accents depending who I’m talking to, and that what my family knows me by, changing the way i say things, and it is also the same for my mum, she picks up different accents.
  • If you read just what my stepsister is saying in my spoken transcript she shortens her speech like when she says ‘Mk’ instead of ‘Ok’, ‘Imma’ instead of ‘I’m’ or ‘I am’ and ‘ya know’  instead of ‘you know’. She says all of these different words or abbreviations, and that’s what we remember her by, not saying full words.

Hypothesis on Language

Everyone communicates differently, I think as we go on this topic of interest we will realise that overtime we have developed our language but what we don’t realise that we communicate completely differently. We might say the same words, saying and other things that are similar to each other, but what all have different communicating habits that make us unique.
