Effort is everything- Craig

 Hi, today in class we starting off with a Ted Talk by Arel Moodie. He was a very good speaker and he spoke on how one may not need talent or to be smart to be successful. But, you may need a right amount of effort. Then we talked about informal and formal language. I grasped that informal language entails slang, wrong punctuation, contractions, simple sentences, and everyday words and expressions. Formal language contains sophisticated vocabulary, no slang, no contractions, complex sentence structures, and standard punctuation. I pretty much knew this topic except for the contractions. That was something new to me. In short, it was a pretty good lesson and I look forward to the next one.
