              Cultural Barrier

              Culture  is values and  principles followed  in the  lives of people living in society. It is the sharing  of customs,
              rituals, beliefs, ideas, art, knowledge, values, morals, ideals, etc. amongst people living in their own geographically
              restricted areas.
                 • As mindset of people of different cultures are different, so is their language, signs and symbols. This causes a
                barrier to communication.
                 • Culture also gives rise to prejudices and stereotypes. These become the societal norms, thus becoming a barrier
                to effective communication amongst people of different cultures.
                 • Different cultures adopt different ways of communication. For example, some cultures may be very open while
                others may be orthodox, thus affecting ways people communicate among various cultural sects. For example, in
                Arab countries it is considered to be a social crime to greet an opposite gender by shaking hands.

                       Basic Writing Skills

              Writing skills are the ability to use the language tools and knowledge in a most effective way into words that have
              some meaningful form. Writing skills allow people to connect without physically being present in a room.

                       What is a Sentence?


              A sentence is a collection of well arranged words in a meaningful form. It is an essential part of any language which
              helps you to express your thoughts, emotions in speaking and writing skills.
              For example:  Nimisha is going to school.
                           Sahil loves to sing songs.
                           Sneha is very good at her studies.

              Phrase is a group of words with no perfect meaning and may be a part of a sentence.
              For example:  She went
                           She sings
                           I fell
