Educational Challenges in Spain

Nowadays in Spain, there is an educational problem. Most people do not continue with their studies, and 50% of university students leave before finishing their degree. They cannot pay the high tuition fees that the Government has established. Furthermore, there is no job to obtain financial support. To solve this issue, the Government should reduce the price of the tuition fees and make a proper distribution of scholarships because sometimes the Government gives money to people that do not need it. These changes could help many students to continue studying and find a good job to pay for their studies.

Understanding English Clause Structures

Relative Clauses

  • Adnominal Relative Clauses

    These clauses depend on and refer back to a noun. They can be restrictive (e.g., 'The house that I bought is small,' where 'that' functions as a direct object) or non-restrictive (e.g., 'John, who is my brother, is tall'). Their syntactic function is to modify the noun, acting as the antecedent.

  • Nominal Relative Clauses

    These clauses have no explicit antecedent; the relative pronoun acts like a noun (e.g., 'What I bought was a house').

  • Sentential Relative Clauses

    In these clauses, the antecedent is a whole clause, with the relative pronoun referring back to the entire preceding clause.

Complement Clauses

Complement clauses function as complements of larger constructions.... Continue reading "English Clause Types and Relativizer Dynamics in Singapore English" »

Finantza-analisi eta Inbertsio-metodoak

BEG (Balio Garbi Eguneratua) eta Payback metodoen arteko desberdintasunak

  1. BEGak kutxako fluxu garbi guztiak eguneratzen ditu, eta kontuan hartzen du diruak denboran zehar izaten duen inflazioa. Payback-ak, aldiz, ez du inflazioa kontuan hartzen eta kutxako fluxu garbiak gehitzen ditu noiz lortu diren kontuan hartu gabe.
  2. BEGak enpresak inbertsioari eskatzen dion gutxieneko errentagarritasuna kontuan hartzen du. Payback-ak ez dio errentagarritasunari erreparatzen, inbertsioa berreskuratzen den ala ez baino ez du kontuan hartzen.
  3. BEGak kutxako fluxu garbi guztiak hartzen ditu kontuan, baita inbertsioa berreskuratu ondorengoak ere. Payback-ak ez ditu kontuan hartzen kutxako fluxu garbiak inbertsioa berreskuratu

Introduction to Bulkcan

Bulkcan is a new and emergent CrossFit box that prides itself on close and personal treatment as its unique selling point (U.S.P). This is the marketing plan that has been developed for the company.

Client Acquisition

As a new company, Bulkcan will not be initially well-known, posing a potential lack of clients. To address this, an ad campaign targeting 20-30 year olds, as indicated by our surveys, will be launched. This campaign... Continue reading "Bulkcan CrossFit Box Marketing Plan" »
