Take care
No no .. get the concept

you were saying that

Quote:
In my view, Earth and moon revolves at the same rate around respective axis. Thats y we see always same side.
This means that the earth and the moon both are helping in making that happen

while the actual reason is

Quote:
The Moon is in synchronous rotation, which means that it rotates about its axis in the about the same time it takes to orbit the Earth
The credit goes to the moon alone according to the above explanation

Hope you get it now

Another Interesting Exercise

The below passage is from a very favorite movie of mine "V for Vendetta"
The dialogues are uttered by the lead character "V" who is introducing himself to "Evey", the heroine.

What you have to do is to come up with a piece of writing that may be a summary, a precis, an expansion what ever you feel like calling it but it has to communicate the the whole meaning of the passage.

The best one would be selected later . I'll request Last Island to be the judge and the winner will be presented with a ............ yes ........ of course .......... "Water Cooler"

Get started with it and I bet you'll never have to worry about English Precis and Composition paper again if you do this thing well.

The Passage

V : Voilą! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! [He slashes a large V through a propaganda poster.] The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. [giggles] Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me "V".

Evey: Are you, like, a crazy person?


Enjoy

cathy is on a distinguished road
Default endeavour to take an initiative

I havent seen the movie as yet but now I intend to.. Here goes what i could make out of the interesting passage

Addressing the heroine as Viola (a beautiful Shakesperean female character; shows V is impresed by evey's beauty and has fallen for her at first sight ) V goes like 'You are looking at a down to earth and a lively serviceman whose turn of fate has both rendered him a victim and a villian. People believed i have disappeared, however, fire of revenge has made me courageous and i have made a vow to eradicate evil. The only motive is revenge so that righteous could be provided with justice. This unnecessary speech is a bit deviating so let me just introduce myself....

P.S The above summarized version of the full of Vs passage is not without mistakes.

1:How could all of your cousins have an aunt who is not your aunt?



2: That attorney is my brother, testified the accountant. But the attorney testified he didn't have a brother. Who is lying?



3: There was an airplane crash, every single person died, but two people survived. How is this possible?


4: Imagine you are in a sinking rowboat surrounded by sharks. How would you survive?
