Using language to inform-

I think you could use language to inform in so many ways. You could do this or that, because to inform using language is endless. In technology world, you could email someone and inform him or her something. In a deaf world, you could call them through videophone and inform something. You could post something on the internet to spread the information. The list goes on and on, especially in technology world because it is enormous. (argument)

 

Using language to convince-

To convince someone using language is really uncomplicated because you could use persuasive words and convince someone that way. When I see the word convince, I think of persuasive essay. You use beautiful, powerful words and you’ll just convince someone easily. I think using language to convince is the easiest method you could use with the language itself. (persuasive)

 

Using language to explore-

I think this way is by far, the hardest way to use language with. When I think of exploring using language, I’m thinking too literal which is to explore places. But, when I really think about it- you could explore using language by exploring search websites like google. You google something and the computer will explore, present you with the answer. Other way you could explore is through crossword puzzles. You explore to find the words. To explore using language is not easy to me, because I couldn’t really think of many ways. (arguments)

 

Using language to make decisions-

Midst of making an important decision, you would have tough time deciding which way to go. Using language to make decision is really vital because you would have all information needed to make a decision. For example, if you had a choice to do a big surgery- you would need to collect all information. I think using language will basically decide your final answer. (both)

 

Using language to mediate or pray-

This is sure interesting. I would never think you would be able to use language to mediate or pray. I spent like good twenty minutes thinking. It popped up in my head, and I finally figured it out. There are plenty of yoga books out there that teach and guide you through yoga movements. You could use the bible book to guide you through a prayer. Wow, language is involved with almost everything. (arguments)
