The fourth Draft TMA 05

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Wednesday, 16 Apr 2025, 02:04

L185 English For Academic Purposes online.

I did some reading again today from the e-books, just gathering more information. I looked at my 4th draft of my essay and realised I have repeated myself in 2 places, so I edited it a lot. It is important to read an essay out loud,  so you can then see where you are going wrong. Now, I have room for a few more words, but I must choose carefully what I will include. After that I will make a reference list,  before I forget where I quoted from!

Hoping to get this finished before Easter,  then I will return to it again, after the break.

Happy Easter Everyone!

I have been busy today working on my essay assignment again, even though there is plenty of time left, until the cut off date!

I just want to get ahead just in case there are any unwanted interruptions to my schedule. 

I feel quite confident after receiving  the results from my last TMA which were better than I had expected!

This has given me the incentive to charge full steam ahead  with my next TMA.05 "Deforestation of the Rainforest" .Hopefully with good results too( I wish!).

Canals and Rivers-( Notes)

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Friday, 25 Apr 2025, 16:50
In this assignment I shall be looking at
Open green spaces, Canals and Rivers, why they should continue to be financially maintained by both government and charities, charities such as the Department for the Environment, Fisheries and Rural Affairs and the Canals and River Trust.
I shall be exploring in particular three main concepts including-  the  environment, the economy and health


First let's have a look at the context.

" The network of canals in
the  Uk is over 200 years old and covers many thousands of miles"*
Canals were once the main means of transporting goods around the country.
during 18th & 19th centuries. After this came the railways.
Later still the road network,s which were even faster at transporting goods and consequently canals fell out of use and ceased to be economically viable"*

However, today this network of canals is experiencing something of a revival , as they are brought up to date to 21st century life, of Business, the Environment, Economy and health.

So What are the Environmental
Benefits?

We now know that Climate change is causing adverse effect on the environment worldwide, as well as in the Uk, with flooding and pollution in both urban and rural areas. Therefore, it is essential to have the appropriate drainage systems inland, as well as in rural locations.
Let me just mention Hydro electricity, which is also  an important source of renewable energy. This  infrastructure is indispensable  both in the present time as well as the future. Waterways are the ideal location for the purpose of harnessing hydro electric power.

Besides these obvious environmental benefits
• There are other advantages too, such as the environmental rewards, that come from attracting diverse species such as birds animals and plants. Flora and fauna that grow in wetlands will enhance the area,  a variety of birds that arrive here will regard these sites as a second home until it gets too cold. These  diverse  plants, birds and animals adds to the desirability for other species to settle, and consequently the animal and plant life increases in the area.

Secondly What are the Economic Benefits?

Attractive Waterfronts create pleasant  places for people to visit, providing community assets and improving the quality of life in these locations.

The advantages are many, such as, cycling and walking along footpaths and tow paths, visiting coffee shops, museums and nature reserves, these are just some activities that are on offer.
The natural beauty of such environments attracts visitors to the area with  Tourism- from both national and international visitors, which brings employment and business opportunities thus boosting the local economy.
Studies show the figure of £500 million per annum was arrived at, and income from tourism was estimated at £1.2 billion per annum. So quite significant in terms of the economy.*

Thirdly what about the Health Benefits?

The Health benefits of waterways and Canals- are Numerous. Watersports with opportunities for canoeing and boating, leisure centres for swimming and gym. Towpaths for walking and cycling, so plenty of possibilities for exercise, fresh air and keep fit.
Cities are often unhealthy places to live, with heavy traffic, pollution, noise, violence and social isolation. Canals, rivers and green spaces  on the other hand provide healthy recreation in peaceful surroundings, which is good for the mental health.


So there is the urgent need therefore, for Urban Green Spaces such as traditional parks and gardens.
also ‘green corridors’ 
'Green habitats’  green roof tops and vertical farms. These all make use of the spaces afforded by modern cities and are essential for exercise and good health of the city dwellers.
Whatever their forms, urban green spaces, provide a wide range of valuable environmental services,  with economic and health benefits to city dwellers for very little cost.

Green areas such as these have to be protected.

The need for the maintenance, of such green spaces and green corridors is indisputable.
The consequences  of reduced funding support for these green spaces,  would have detrimental effects. Because  these sites would fall into neglect, become unhygienic rubbish  tips,  and can even be dangerous places to walk through.

To conclude. Three aspects have been explored, that of-  environment, economy and health,  all of which are imperative  for future generations, to continue to enjoy canals and rivers, and for all our citizens,  for Touristic activities, Health benefits, and in the wider context, of the "Conservation of the environment."

TMA 05 Writing the First Draft

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Friday, 25 Apr 2025, 17:09
L185 English for academic purposes.
This morning I read up about the 'Rainforests',
because I like reading some more backgound information, about the subject before I am going to write about for my TMA05.
I also read one of the little e- books that goes along with this Block 5, this has helped me to focus my efforts in writing up a first draft of my essay! Hurrah!
These little bite size books are very helpful for ideas, but in the end I still have to finally plan, organise and write up the essay using my own words and some references.

Maybe I will have to make some changes before long, but for now I am getting some where!

Yesterday- Walking

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Monday, 14 Apr 2025, 18:54
Had a bit of a lazy morning Sunday morning. I ate a banana for breakfast, drank a large coffee with a small cream bun (just for once!) ☕🍰
The sun was streaming in through the 🌝 windows,the street was fairly quiet outside, just the general hum of human activity, not too much traffic. I opened all the windows and doors, to let in the fresh air.
The cats were all 🐈🐈 playing in the garden about 4 or 5 of them all rolling about in the grass and enjoying the big lawn to play on!

🟩🌳 🏡
I did the washing up with my husband,  then we talked about the various tasks, we had to do for today. It was not a  particularly busy day, so I took my time. My son was having a lie in today, after he had a difficult night's sleep, so we let him sleep in, as we tip- toed about, to get ready to go out for a walk.

The task was to put all the recycling at the🅿️ recycling park and pick up some shopping on the way back. We had 4 large carrier bags  to dispose of mostly plastic bottles, cardboard, papers and jam & sauce jars.🚮

We put the recycling at the car park in the bins provided. The recycle park is only about (10 minutes) away from us. After that we continued to the big park and walked around the playing field, passing the pavillion, the old tennis courts, the spinney wood, the picnic benches and play area before heading out of the main entrance. (This took us about 15 minutes.)

Following this we took the footpath leading to the fields. We only took the footpath around the first few fields. The 🌾 wheat field, 🐑🐑the sheep field, 🟩the wild meadow and the vegetable field. There were some signs of wildflowers starting to grow there, Yellow🌼🌻🌾 flowers cowslips, pink and white bells, I think,  but couldn't see very close up what the other flowers were that were  there, as we kept moving to keep up a brisk pace, it was an exercise walk rather than a stroll or ramble. (20 minutes)


From here up a slight incline and then right through the field,  on the designated foot path and through the back lanes,  towards the lovely little woodland that I like. There was a lovely view looking back over the fields!

🌳🌳🌲🌲☘🍀☘We sat on the new bench, that had been recently placed,  next to the woodland. From that position we could see into the interior of the wood, from the bench, to the side view of the wood and we hear the birdsong coming from within. The wood looks a bit sparse at the moment, not very leafy, but by the late spring and summer time,  the leaves will have grown,  then there will be a thick foliage, so thick it will not be possible to see the interior of the wood. However, the birdsong will be heard more than ever!        🦅🕊🦅🐦🦉

Setting off from here we head to up the steep incline and reached the lane into the market place, but before that there is a green space here too with benches also some fruit trees growing there, but it may take a while for the first fruits to appear. We just passed through here This takes about (10 minutes). Another 15 minutes and we arrive at the supermarket and go in quickly to buy a few items for the meal today.

Finally,  for the walk back, we took the longer route back,  through the market place, continuing along Church street and down into tree lane. We then took the turning back home at the end of the lane.. So all in all about 1 hour and a half of walking about. A good bit of exercise achieved!

Woodlands and Green Spaces

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Tuesday, 15 Apr 2025, 10:29

Some years ago,  my aunt and her friend who lived on the same housing estate wanted to save a piece of woodland. After some collaboration with the council and many residents signing a petition, there is now a wonderful green woodland there,  with bird boxes, shelters for hedgehogs and all in the middle of the housing estate! There is also a green space attached , a small green field that has a bench on, where people can take a break from their labours, their everyday tasks, to sit awhile and listen to the beautiful birdsong in the woods.

The original proposal for this piece of land, was a skateboarding park, or a house building project.  So Why put up green spaces or just leave natural woodland there?

What difference does it make anyway?

Maybe the youngsters may have liked to have had a skateboard park, although the noise would have been horrendous for the other older residents!
The trees would have been destroyed, the soil disappeared and no nature, no birdsong, no flowers would live there or grow there anymore. It would have just been a hard concrete place, with rubbish laying around, perhaps even a dangerous place to walk through!

On my road there is no woodland. However, there are some beautiful trees now in blossom, also some body has planted pretty flowers all along the public footpath like daffodils, tulips,  primroses, crocuses, blue grape hyacinths.

 Each time I pass by here on my way to the shops, I can't help but smile to see these very pretty flowers. I don't know who or why someone did this,  but it makes life better in someway. 

When everything is looking sad or gloomy in the country, the politics, the economy, the wars,  I look at these lovely flowers and think to myself not everything is sad. These flowers are real, alive, vibrant,  full of colour and this fills me with hope, that the world can be a better place!

Tutorial for L185

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Saturday, 5 Apr 2025, 17:49
I have attended my first Tutorial for this block 5.on April the 1st.  This Tutorial was more focused on the preparation for the assignment, so I felt  it was relevant for the TMA Task and I felt much more motivated by the end of this session.
It was an excellent Tutorial and I found that the Tutor's advice was very helpful. I don't usually like breakout rooms, but I listened to the students ideas, which were very interesting and I wrote down notes, to refer back to them later. Today I did some reading  concentrating on the actual assignment task. Then I went back again to the beginning sections, before later moving on to the resource texts. 

'Deforestation' is an interesting subject and I am still in the process of learning. I enjoy learning about all the different aspects of the environment.

Studying this is just like studying a Giant Jigsaw Puzzle! 🧩

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Wednesday, 16 Apr 2025, 01:50
This morning and last night I have downloaded some e- books that go alongside this block 5, which is about all   

' Deforestation '

 At the moment I am just gathering all the information together, it is like a huge jigsaw puzzle and I am not sure where all the pieces go as yet. Are all the pieces needed?  or will I have to discard some? or just put them to one side for now until I figure it all out?
There is information about child psychology in there, how is that connected to deforestation?  Then there is also the psychology of human happiness. There must be a connection!

I feel a bit confused at the moment, but I suppose eventually I will be able to find the links between all the different topics and join the all dots together.

I will have to read through the resource texts again, after I have read all the little e-books. I must also try to get to attend as many Tutorials as I can. This is proving difficult at the moment with appointments, but I must persevere. I have to do this,  even if I am tired and have a lot going on right now  (ie family commitments)  

My leg is sore at present time, from my accident and I have to go for a scan on my leg on Friday at the hospital. I will just have to keep on going until I get there eventually!

L185.  I have submitted my  TMA04 presentation this morning on Canals and Rivers!

I could have waited much longer but my nerves just got the better of me and I wanted to send it off straight away. I could have tinkered a bit more with it,  but it might not have made a great difference!  I managed to get the whole presentation in under 5 minutes, I think it was about 4 minutes 50.something. By myself I used to get it a bit over 5 minutes so that wasn't good enough, so I managed to speak a bit quicker this time!
I feel I did ok all things considered! Now I have to wait for the results to come back. In the meantime I will be reading up on the TMA 05 the final TMA!  This next one is about deforestation. I have really enjoyed these subjects of 'Health"  and   'The Environment' it has been most enlightening!

He will not leave us nor forsake us!

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Tuesday, 25 Mar 2025, 12:10
Lately I have gone through some really awful experiences,  including having been quite unlucky with my health and some experiences I don't even want to mention!
However, I am not too down hearted, as I have been blessed with a positive disposition, which I have inherited from my late father (who was such a kind, good, happy, man!)
We must never give up because life throws us some nasty curved balls sometimes. We must not worry or blame ourselves too much, because something good is also happening to us.  I read recently in the Bible that God is holding us and  he tells us-
"Do not fear for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name, you are mine." (Isaiah 43.1 old testament of the Bible)

God is shaping our characters through the refining fires of our lives, making us more humble, more patient and more empathetic. He is the sculptor who is moulding us into the form he wants us to be.
At the time we often feel sad, scared, fragile and weak, but God will never abandon us or forget us, no matter how bad things get, because we still belong to him.  Jesus himself taught us the Lord's payer in which we we call God. "Our Father" 

God is our father, so let us rely on him all the more and he will bring us through, so have hope and trust in God!
And we shall overcome!
Because He is our Good Father.

TMA04 Last Rehearsal !

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Saturday, 22 Mar 2025, 15:31
I have been rehearsing  my presentation for TMA 04. (Oral) exam.
I had to edit it a bit as I went over the time limit of 5 minutes and I was having to speak really fast, which was not good, as I made a few mistakes, so  I took some unnecessary  information out,  this way I can make the speech steady and get all the information in for just under 5 minutes. I must submit my recording in the next few days.

It is a nice sunny ☀️spring day today outside, so hopefully I can go for a walk later. I may attempt to walk across the fields and look to see if there are some swans or ducks on the reservoir. If I feel strong enough with my bad leg,  I might try to make it to the next village, but that might be too ambitious just yet!

An Early Morning Walk

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Saturday, 5 Apr 2025, 17:49


Some woodlands on a misty morningIn the Woodlands

It was misty this morning as I walked to the park, which is only a few minutes from where I live. I noticed there were still some white snow drops, white crocus and purple crocuses, minature yellow daffodils, pretty blue star shaped flowers called Amsonia were growing in the little woods on the perimeter of the park.

Blue stars flowers

Amsonia flowers.
I walked the footpaths through the park and sat down to rest and have a fruit drink at the picnic table. The grass looked tidy and neatly cut as I looked out across the green field. I could hear lots of birdsong nearby, but they were not landing on the field or the park. 

Picnic bench and trees

The picnic bench

The Spinney wood had birds in the trees and I saw plenty of Magpies, wood pidgeons and crows in the treetops. I sometimes like to feed the birds with a few bread crumbs,  but today they did not want to come down.

There were a few mothers on the far side of the park with very young children playing  in the children's play area. I decided to walk the full length around the park's perimeter, then I crossed over and walked down cemetery lane. 

Winter trees in park

Trees in Park

As I walked along,  I saw a rabbit scurrying past, then it went quickly into the undergrowth leading to the cemetery. I passed through a hole in the fence to the cemetery too,  but I couldn't see the rabbit anywhere. I felt like Alice in wonderland following the rabbit!  The cemetery  is not very big,  but it has some very interesting trees in there. It was not long until I saw a pair of squirrels there,  together they were jumping from tree to tree around the whole length of the cemetery!

At last the squirrels finally landed in someone's back garden!  A lot of people put some nuts out for them, or they sometimes eat food from the bird tables.

I finally got to the very end of the cemetery, I then walked down a footpath that leads to the woodland. There used to be a bench in there, right in the centre, but they had to remove the bench as older teenagers from the nearby estate used to gather there to smoke at night. It is a pity because I often used to love to sit there quietly, listening  to the birdsong. It is still possible to walk through the woodland along the little footpaths and out at the other end.

But there is nothing really like it, to be just sitting perfectly still,  in the peaceful wood, on a bench,  listening to beautiful birdsong it was so calming! The trees all touching each other and forming a lovely leafy canopy overhead.
Oh well never mind everything changes I suppose!

Anyway, I enjoyed my walk today, but now I have to get back to studying and rehearse my TMA04 presentation!

Classical Music while Travelling🎵🎶.

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Monday, 14 Apr 2025, 02:02

🎧📻📱
When sitting travelling on the bus to go the nearest town or city for appointments, I like to listen to Classical music on my head phones,  especially while passing through the countryside in the winter time. ( I have a winter playlist) occasionally I get to see deers, hares and foxes. It feels so genteel and calm watching fields, woods and little hamlets going slowly by, while listening to classical music. Sometimes I listen to Vivaldi's  The Four Seasons, Bach.  including Air on the G String and "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring", and the Best of Bach.
Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D major, the Pastoral and other Piano works. Or Lark assending by Vaughn Williams. Also  listening to Ludvico Einaudi Primevera.
Philip Glass, Cage, Steve Reich,  Reilly,.I like some of the more modern classical piano pieces, I am just starting to get into it.  These pieces are so relaxing, great for relieving my stress levels, so that I arrive at my destination feeling  happy and relaxed.

I can't wait to get my bus pass then I will be able to travel all over  for free!

What music do you like to listen to when travelling by car, bus or train?

A Day on the Beach-- A Poem

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Wednesday, 16 Apr 2025, 01:54

We walked slowly along the shore
Wind and sand in our faces
Ours is the vast blue spaces
Of beach, sea and sky

Sea-gulls wheeled over head
With screeching cry
Lips tasting the salty sea 
Salt in our watering eye.

Pebbles crunch beneath  our feet
And slippery seaweed  fronds
Wet with froth entwine
To tie our bonds
As hearts with love still beat

The giant windmills Their heads to the sky
A passing boat speeds quickly by
Leaving a trail of foam.
Time for us now,  to head for home.

Working on recording the TMA04

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Gill Burrell, Friday, 14 Mar 2025, 17:07
I found some more constructive information today,  on the forum, from Tutors Patrick and Charlotte.  It is a good idea to look on the forums often,  because there is sometimes some handy information,  from previous Tutorials such as on a powerpoint and this can give you another good idea, to mention or to discuss in TMA assignments. Today I will go over my notes and put them in order, then I will try recording the introduction, to see how many minutes it takes. After that I will record the next section of the presentation, then finally the conclusion.
Hopefully I can make it 5 minutes long altogether. I  probably might need to condense it together more to fit it all in!
