It is about having prejudice about someone that doesn’t change, even after
Visual Perceptions noticing a change in behaviour. It refers to the prenotion of the brain to sense
what we see through our eyes.
The experience from a past event sometimes blocks our mind to take decisions or

WRITING SKILLS
When we talk about writing content for a particular topic, ideas start generating in our consciousness. This
sudden reaction of our mind results in the formation of sentences, which communicates the thought. There
are certain aspects through which we can improve our writing skills, like:
hrases
It can be a short or a long sentence and give a complete meaning when attached to a principal clause or an
independent sentence. Hence, a phrase may also be explained as a dependent sentence, for example: after
the class” is a phrase and “I will meet you” is a principal clause.
By joining together these sentences we get “I will meet you after the class”.
Active and assive oice
We speak many sentences in our day-to-day life but we don’t realise the diversity of sentences that we use
while speaking. It can be seen through the following examples:
1. I taught you. 2. You are taught by me.
We notice that there is a difference between both sentences. In the first sentence, the subject
‘I’ is the doer of the action ‘taught’ while in the second sentence, the subject ‘You’ is the receiver of the action
taught . In this way, the first sentence is in Active oice while the second sentence is in assive oice
1. I taught you (Active voice).
2. ou are taught by me (Passive voice).
In ‘Active Voice’, the subject performs the action stated by the verb. In ‘Passive Voice’, the subject is acted
upon by the verb.
