Each time a confilict arises, you and your marriage mate unleash a torrent of criticism at each other. Hurtful speech has become so common in some people’s marriage that it is now their ”normal” stlye of communication. If this is happening in your marriage, you can stop the pattern. First, though, you need to consider the causes and why it is in your best interests to make changes. WHY HURTFUL SPEECHES HAPPEN 1. Family background. Many husbands and wives were raised in homes where hurtful speech was common. One or both spouses may be repeating the type of language thex heard from their parents. 2. Influence of entertainment. Film and television comedies turn rude speech into a laughing matter, leaving the viewer with the impression that it is harmless or even funny. 3. Culture. Some societies teach that real men are domineering or that women need to be fiercely aggressive so as not to appear weak. During a conflict, marriage mates with such attitudes may view each other as adversaries rather than allies and use words that hurt rather than heal. Regardless of the cause, hurtful speech can be a predictor of divorce as well as a number of health problems. Some even say that words can hit harder than fists. For example, one wife who was both verbally and physically battered by her husband says: ” I found the insults harder to bear than violence. I would have preferred that he hit me rather than say such hurtful things.” What can marriage mates do if they have let hurtful speech erode their relationship? WHAT MARRIAGE MATES CAN DO 1. Show empathy. Put yourself in your spouse’s position, and try to understand how your words make him or her feel. If possible, think of a specific circumstance in which your mate felt that your speech was hurtful. Do no be sidetracked by what you really said; the issue is how your mate feels about what you said. Can you think of ways that the hurtful speech could have been replaced with kind expressions? One great book the Bible says: “An answer, when mild, turns away rage, but a word causing pain makes anger to come up. 2. Observe respectful couples. If negative role models have influenced your manner of communicating, look for good examples. Listen to married couples whose pattern of spe ech is worthy of imitation. 3. Revive the feelings you once shared. Hurtful speech is more often a problem of the heart than of the mouth. So strive to nurture positive thoughts and feelings about your spouse. Reminisce about activities you once enjoyed together. Look at old photographs. What made you laugh? What qualities drew you to each other? 4. Use ”I” statements. Rather than verbally attack your marriage mate, express your concerns from the standpoint of how you are affected. For example, ” I feel sad when you make plans without consulting me first” i7 much more likely to elicit a postive response than” That is just like you always making plans without consulting me! 5. Know when to stop. If tempers are beginning to flare and speech is getting out of hand, it might be best to postpone the discussion. Usually, there is nothing wrong with walking away from a heated argument until the discussion can be handled more calmly. Helpful? Please feel free share.

The aim of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME)

Syllabus in Use of English is to prepare the candidates for the

Board's examination. It is designed to test their achievement of the

course objectives, which are to:

1. Communicate effectively in both written and spoken English;

2. Have a sound linguistic basis for learning at the tertiary level.

The syllabus consists of two sections

SECTION A: Comprehension/ Summary

SECTION B: Lexis, Structure and Oral Forms.

1. Comprehension/Summary

Jamb Candidates should be able to:

i. Identify main points in passages,

ii. Determine implied meaning,

iii. Identify the grammatical functions of words, phrases and clauses

and figurative/ idiomatic expression,

iv. Deduce or infer the writer's opinion, mood, attitude to the subject matter.

In comprehension each of the four passages to be set should reflect

various disciplines and be about 400 words long. Questions on the

passages will test the following:

The Potter's Wheel by Chukwuemeka Ike and The Successors by Jerry

Agada will test the following:

a. Comprehension of the whole or part of each passages.

b. Comprehension of words, phrases, clauses, sentences, figures of

speech and idioms as used in the passages.

C. Coherence and logical reasoning( deductions, inferences, etc.

D. Synthesis of ideas from the passages.

2. Lexis, Structural and Oral Forms

Jamb candidates should be able to:

i. Use words and expressions in their ordinary, figurative and

idiomatic contexts;

ii. Determine similar and opposite meanings:

iii. Differentiate between correct and incorrect punctuation and spelling;

iv. Identify various grammatical pattern in use;

v. Interpret information conveyed in sentences.

2.2 Oral forms

Jamb candidates should be able to

i. Distinguish correct from incorrect vowels,

ii. Differentiate correct from incorrect consonats,

iii. Identify silent letters, vowel length, consonant clusters, etc.

Iv. Determine appropriate uses of stress in words (monosyllabic,

disyllable and polysyllable) and in sentences(emphatic/contrastive)

v. Detect partial and complete rhymes.

NOTE: Sentence stress should not be mistaken for emphatic or

contrastive stress. It involves the placement of normal stress on

content words (nouns, main verbs, adjectives and adverbs) in an

utterance. Here no emphasis or contrast is intended. For example, the

words 'see' and 'soon' would normally be stressed in the sentence,

I'II see you soon'.

You know guys, what we cannot give is a natural manifestation that

characterize human interactions. We hope to have others obey us in our

deepest moments of departure from the normal. It rarely occurs to us

that others deserve what we demand from them, when we fail to

recognise that, conflict will set in, and in other to overcome it we

need to know the key, so that when confict arise it can be resolved

amicably, i.e Resolution.

Key.1. Accept that you can hurt others:

The first key in conflict resolution is acceptance, when you accept

to have friends, co-students and co-workers, there is also the

acceptance of chances of hurting and being hurt by others. Alienation

is aberration. Pleasing everybody is impossible take it or leave it.

Being pleased by everybody is also impossible. Thus in every social

circle, there are conflicts known or unkown, apparent or real,

destructive or creative, and under control or those that have gone out

of control.

Key 2. Know what unresolved conflict can cause:

Try and Visit war torn countries e.g Mali, Sudan, Syria, Somalia,(

whats this about S,?) or you can even visit the one near you e.g

Hospitals they are full of those butchered with machets, shot at with

guns, bathed with acid or stoned with various objects, not by animals

or ghosts or gods but by their fellow human beings. Even in the family

as a result of unresolved conflict some couples are now in cold in

their loveless marriage, waiting for divorce process. The lawyers and

marriage counselors become beneficiary of what could have been used by

the family alone.

Key 3. Community of inquiry:

This is a time tested tool and patternof life that can be used to

avoid certain harmful effects of conflict.

Next time you want to fight pause and ask '' what really will come out

of this?good or bad?

For those interested in taking vacations you guys might try Indonesia.

Indonesia is a country made up of some 17,000 islands. Its people are

known for being exceptionally friendly, patient, polite, and

hospitable. Meals in this great country normally inludes rice along

with other dishes most times spiced up. In some areas, families eat

sitting on a woven mat, using their fingers to dip food into the rice.

When asked y? They claim that food eaten this way tastes better.

Notice too that Indonesians love art, dance, and music.

Until the 15th century C.E, Indonesia was largely Hinduism and then

Buddhism, but by the end of the 16th century, Islam gained firm

ground in Indonesia before Christanity.

During the week of October 29, 2012, New York City experienced a

dramatic decline in murders, felony assaults, and robberies compared

with the same five day period in 2011. Reason? Hurricane Sandy, a

fierce storm that ravaged the East Coast of the United States, causing

massive power outages. '' After a natural disaster or large-scale

catastrophe like the terrorist attack that occurred on September 11,

2001, we see conventional crime come down,'' said New York Police

Department spokesman Paul Browne. There was, however, an increase in

burglaries because of looting, which did not surprise Browne. He

concludes '' there are a lot of unlit areas.''read globe round up your country might just follow globe round up
