Technology-in-the-Classroom, there are some reason why we should learn about
computer :

1. If used correctly, will help prepare students for their future careers, which will
inevitably include the use of wireless technology.

2. Integrating technology into the classroom is definitely a great way to reach

diversity in learning styles.

3. It gives students the chance to interact with their classmates more by

encouraging collaboration.technology in the classroom, school wireless networks,

4. Technology helps the teachers prepare students for the real world environment.
As our nation becomes increasingly more technology-dependent, it becomes even
more necessary that to be successful citizens, students must learn to be tech-
savvy.

5. Integrating technology in education everyday helps students stay engaged.

Today’s students love technology so they are sure to be interested in learning if
they can use the tools they love.

6. With technology, the classroom is a happier place. Students are excited about
being able to use technology and therefore are more apt to learn.
7. When mobile technology is readily available in the classroom, students are able
to access the most up-to-date information quicker and easier than ever before.

8. The traditional passive learning mold is broken. With technology in the

classroom the teacher becomes the encourager, adviser, and coach.

control over their own learning. They learn how to make their own decisions and
actually think for themselves.

10. Student can have access to digital textbooks that are constantly updated and
often more vivid, helpful, creative, and a lot cheaper than those old heavy books.

2. What is English Grammar?

= According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_grammar, English grammar

is the way in which meanings are encoded into wordings in the English language.
This includes the structure of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences, right up to
the structure of whole texts.

3. What are the elements of English Grammar? Please mention briefly.

= Copied from http://learningnerd.com/2006/09/10/english-grammar-basic-

sentence-elements/, There are some elements of English Grammar :

a. Subjects : The subject performs the action of the sentence. It can be

a noun, noun phrase, or noun clause. To analyze sentences, grammarians have
distinguished three kinds of subjects:

 Complete Subject - "The old, dusty books on the table haven't been read in
years." The complete subject includes the entire noun phrase -- usually
everything before the verb.
  Simple Subject - "books". The simple subject is the main noun or pronoun
stripped of all modifiers.

 Compound Subject - "The cowardly mailman and the huge, barking

dog didn't get along very well." A compound subject consists of two or
more subjects linked together by conjunctions. Note: the simple subject
of that sentence would be "mailman and dog".

See Sentence Subjects for a closer look at subjects and subject-verb inversion
(placing a subject after the verb in a sentence, as in “How is Bob?”).

b. Predicates : As with subjects, predicates can be classified as complete

predicates, simple predicates, and compound predicates; see this page in the UIUC
Grammar Handbook for more. To form a complete sentence, the predicate must
include a verb (a finite verb, more specifically). It can also include objects,
complements, and adverbials.

c. Objects : The object is the receiver of the action in a sentence: “He broke the
table” or “He threw the ball.” Like subjects, objects can be any word or group of
words functioning as a noun, and each type of object can also be categorized as a
complete, simple, or compound object. Categorized by their different functions
within a sentence, the three types of objects are:

 Direct Object - "I wrote a letter." (What did I write? A letter.)

 Indirect Object - "I wrote a letter to my friend." (Who did I write a letter
to? My friend.)

 Prepositional Object - "I wrote on the paper." (What did I write on? The
paper.) A thread on EnglishForums.com discusses prepositional objects
and their potential for confusion.
d. Complements : Complements (also called predicatives) complete the predicate
by modifying a noun in the sentence; copulas or linking verbs require a
complement to form a complete sentence.

 Subject Complement - "The car is new." The subject complement follows

a linking verb and modifies the subject. It can be a predicate adjective (He
is happy), a predicate noun (He is the boss), or an adverbial
complement (He is in the house).

 Object Complement - "I painted my room purple." The object complement

modifies the direct object, either by describing it or renaming it (They
elected him governor). Object complements can cause some confusion;
check out this Pain in the English post. Also see Wikipedia's note on Object
Complements.

 Adjective Complement - "He was happy to help." The adjective

complement is a special case in which a group of words modifies an
adjective. If removed, the adjective complement leaves a grammatically
complete sentence, but the meaning of the sentence changes. The CCC
Guide to Grammar and Writing explains the use of infinitive phrases as
adjective complements. Note: predicative adjectives are also sometimes
called adjective complements.

 Verb Complement - Some grammarians use the term "verb complement"

to refer to direct and indirect objects (see the "Objects" section above),
while others use it to refer to a complement occuring after a linking verb
(a subject complement).

e. Adverbials : An adverbial is an adverb, adverbial phrase, or adverbial clause:

any word or group of words that acts as an adverb within a sentence. They usually
modify verbs, but they can also modify the whole sentence. Unlike an adverbial
complement (He is in the house), an adverbial isn’t needed to complete a sentence
(He had lunch in the house or He had lunch).

B. Business Letter

= According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_letter, A business letter is

usually a letter from one company to another, or between such organizations and
