“Studies have indicated a number of values to
reading and reciting. For one thing, when you read
something with the knowledge that you must soon recite
what you have read, you are more likely to be motivated
to remember and less likely to become inattentive. For
another, recitation provides immediate knowledge of
results, so that you can see how well you are doing and
adjust and modify your responses accordingly. Finally,
recitation provides active practice in recalling the
material you wish ultimately to retain.

“The most embarrassing moment of my
sophomore year was how I earned my nick name, Crash.
It all started right after school when I turned on to the
busiest street by the school. First I pulled up right behind
this truck at a stop sign. After a second, a fellow older
student told me that I was really close and that I was
going to hit the truck in front of me. At the moment I was
trying to tell the kid that I was giving a ride to to get
back in the car because he was hanging out the window.
Since I was distracted, I thought the long line of traffic
had started to move, but it hadn’t. In the blink of an eye
I hit the back of the truck in front of me. The devastation
sunk in. I was so worried that I damaged the truck, but
all that I did was scratch his bumper. Lucky for him!
Then it came time to look at my car. My car was ruined.
The hood was buckled, the front end was pushed back,
and my headlights were broken. Humiliated and scared,
I still had to drive my totaled care home. During School
that year, I never did hear the end of what had happened
that day.”

“The broad range of positive characteristics used to
define males could be used to define females too, but they
are not. At its entry for woman Webster's Third provides
a list of "qualities considered distinctive of
womanhood": "Gentleness, affection, and domesticity or
on the other hand fickleness, superficiality, and folly."
Among the "qualities considered distinctive of manhood"
listed in the entry for man, no negative attributes detract
from the "courage, strength, and vigor" the definers
associate with males. According to this dictionary,
womanish means "unsuitable to a man or to a strong
character of either sex."

“1According to economists, there are four different
types of unemployment, each with its own specific
cause. 2 The first type of unemployment is
seasonal.3Workers in certain industries-such as
agriculture, resorts, and retail – are subject to
fluctuating demands for their services because of peak
and off-peak times in these industries. 4This type of
unemployment is regular, predictable, and relatively
short-term. 5 The second type of unemployment is
referred to as frictional. 6It is caused by school and
college graduates seeking jobs for the first time and by
workers changing jobs. 7These people usually remain
unemployed for just a short time while they seek
position. 8A third type of unemployment is structural,
caused, for example, by the use of machinery, such as
robots, that can perform repetitive tasks. 9Workers
displaced by structural changes often experience long -
term unemployment while seeking a job that matches
their skills and salary expectations.
10 The last type of unemployment is cyclical. This kind
is produced by the overall business cycle. 11Cyclical
unemployment is recessions; it decreases during
growth periods.”

(1)Sudan is the largest country in Africa with a
prominent diversity in culture, religion, languages and
ethnicity. Being bordered by nine countries, some having high
cases of human immunodeficiency virus infection and
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV and AIDS) and
having experienced long term ethnical and political conflicts.
Sudan is vulnerable for an increase in the prevalence of HIV
and AIDS. The first case of HIV and AIDS in Sudan was
reported in 1986 and in 2002 the total number of cases
reported had increased to 4004. As in other sub Saharan
African countries, the main mode of transmission is
heterosexual, accounting for 97% of the HIV positive cases.
 (2)According to a population based study conducted
in 2002, the sero-prevalence was resulted by women
attending antenatal clinics, sex workers, prisoners, soldiers,
subjects infected with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
and university students. Moreover, evidence suggests that the
HIV and AIDS cases among blood donors in Sudan have
increased in 2000. As a result, Sudan is currently recognised
by the World Health Organization, to be a country with an
intermediate HIV and AIDS cases. In addition, a Kaiser
Permanente study in 2016 suggested that between 1996 and
2016 around the world, the gap in life expectancy between
people who are HIV positive and HIV negative closed from 44
years to 12 years.
(3)Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a virus
that attacks immune cells called CD4 cells, which are a type
of T cell. These are white blood cells that move around the
body, detecting faults and anomalies in cells as well as
infections. When HIV targets and infiltrates these cells, it
reduces the body's ability to combat other diseases. Also, this
increases the risk and impact of opportunistic infections and
cancers. However, a person can carry HIV without
experiencing symptoms for a long time. Furthermore, HIV is a
lifelong infection receiving treatment and managing the
disease effectively can prevent HIV from reaching a severe
level and reduce the risk of a person passing on the virus. On
the other hand, AIDS is the most advanced stage of HIV
infection. Once HIV infection develops into AIDS, infections
and cancer pose a greater risk. Without treatment, HIV
infection is likely to develop into AIDS as the immune system
gradually wears down.
People transmit HIV in bodily fluids, including blood,
semen, vaginal secretions, anal fluids, and breast milk. To
transmit HIV, these fluids must contain enough of the virus. If
a person has 'undetectable' HIV, they will not transmit HIV to
another person, even if after a transfer of fluids. Undetectable
HIV is when the amount of HIV in the body is so low that a
blood test cannot detect it. People may be able to achieve
undetectable levels of HIV by closely following the prescribed
course of treatment. Confirming and regularly monitoring
undetectable status using a blood test is important, as this
does not mean that the person no longer has HIV.
