We've all heard talk of animal intelligence.

We speak of crafty crows,

clever foxes, discerning dolphins and brilliant squids, but can we really use
the word intelligence with regard to animals?

Researchers are concerned with learning mechanisms and other cognitive

abilities thinking, acquiring knowledge, sensory perception, memory and
language. These are the thought processes which form the basis for what
we experience and comprehend of the world around us.

The problem is that we often look for human traits when we study animal
behavior. But what may be clever for us neednt be a viable attribute in
other members of the animal kingdom.

Animals are often given tasks based on human behavior, such as the use
of tools, says Peter Bockman, a zoologist at the Natural History Museum
in Oslo.

If you turn it around and visualize a flock of screaming chimpanzees

hauling you up into a treetop and confront you with a complicated problem
involving nuts, how intelligently do you think you would perform? he asks.

Indeed, we can easily fail to notice animal intelligence if we only look for
human qualities, says Bjarne Braastad, an animal behaviorist at the
Norwegian University of Life Sciences.

It can be limiting if your point of departure is human traits. Animals have

other abilities and can have elements of intelligence that humans lack, he
says.

More than many other types of essays, descriptive essays strive to create a deeply involved
and vivid experience for the reader. Great descriptive essays achieve this affect not through
facts and statistics but by using detailed observations and descriptions.

What do you want to describe?

As you get started on your descriptive essay, it's important for you to identify exactly what you
want to describe. Often, a descriptive essay will focus on portraying one of the following:

a person

a place

a memory

an experience

an object

Ultimately, whatever you can perceive or experience can be the focus of your descriptive
writing.

Why are you writing your descriptive essay?

It's a great creative exercise to sit down and simply describe what you observe. However, when
writing a descriptive essay, you often have a particular reason for writing your description.
Getting in touch with this reason can help you focus your description and imbue your language
with a particular perspective or emotion.

Example: Imagine that you want to write a descriptive essay about your grandfather. You've
chosen to write about your grandfather's physical appearance and the way that he interacts
with people. However, rather than providing a general description of these aspects, you want to
convey your admiration for his strength and kindness. This is your reason for writing the
descriptive essay. To achieve this, you might focus one of your paragraphs on describing the
roughness of his hands, roughness resulting from the labor of his work throughout his life, but
you might also describe how he would hold your hands so gently with his rough hands when
having a conversation with you or when taking a walk.

Importance of English in our life

English plays an important role in our everyday life. There is great utility of English
in modern world. So, the use of English should be continued along with Hindi and
other regional languages.

In this land of innumerable regional languages in different States, English serves

as a link-language in the country.

English language is widely used in official communications. The abolition of

English will adversely affect the office work. Most office-goers know English, but
many of them do not know other languages besides their mother-tongue or
regional language. Thus, they communicate with each other in English for their
everyday work. So, if the office-goers are asked to bid goodbye to the English
language, they will face a great difficulty.

The importance of English in education and students life cannot be

denied. English remains a major medium of instruction in schools. There are large
number of books that are written in English language. If English is abolished today,
it will affect the education system in India. So, unless and until we translate these
books into various regional languages, it will affect education. But this work is very
hard and time-consuming indeed.
Students who want to go abroad for education will have learn to English
well. If their command over English is poor, then they may face difficulty in
adjusting with the alien environment.

The communication of India with other countries takes place in English

language. For a developing country like India, it is essential to be in constant
intercourse with other countries.
