Notes etc. - Do not post copyright material

Any on Density & Flotation Alexis? For some reason I find that chapter difficult.

That'll do me! Thank you!

Thought it was about time that I contributed to this thread! I saw in another that poetic techniques in english is likely to come up, so I covered them for The Road Not Taken.


The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost

Poetic Techniques

Metaphors - The paths in the woods is a metaphor for choices in life

Imagery - "two roads diverged in a yellow wood"

Alliteration - "wanted wear", this adds to the melodious effect of the poem

Assonance - "grassy, passing, as, having", also adds to the melodious effect of the poem

Symbolism - the yellow leaves of autumn in the forest symbolises the poet is in the middle age bracket

téama den dán seo
Sa Dán seo, tá an file buartha faoi na mbláthanna mar bíonn siad ag fás ar aill cois farraige. Ceapann an file go bhfuil na Bláthanna go deas ach ní maith leis an áit mar tá sé salach agus dorcha.
Tugann an file íomhánna den nádúir chun pictiúr réadúlach a thabhairt dúinne.
Is soiléir go bhfuil grá as cuimse ag an file ar an timpeallacht mar deir sé nach mbeidh an ghrian ag taitneamh go minic, ach níl na bláthanna buartha faoi sin.

Is iomaí mothúchán a nochtann go bhfuil ______ an téama/mothúcún sa dán mar tá an file buartha faoi na mbláthanna mar fasann siad ar aill in aice na farraige.
Ag an deireadh, deir na bláthanna go bhuil siad sona sásta ann mar is maith leo ceol na farraige agus tá siad faoi dhraíocht na farraige. Tá sé soléir go bhfuil an téama/mothúchán _________ ann

this is me template for it if worry or sea comes up

I had to correct quite a number of things there. It is vital that you get your tenses right, and the endings correct. You alternated between past and present in that piece, and a lot of the verbs were wrongly conjugated. Also, there were quite a few spelling mistakes. It's not 'bhuil' it's 'bhfuil'. You said 'is maith siad', it's 'is maith leo'. Something you'll be learning in 5th year is the Tuiseal Ginideach, so it's understandable that you said 'an ceoil na farraige', but it's 'ceol na farraige' as the 'the' is included in the 'na'.

The most important thing for all of you to remember is to make absolutely sure that you are using the correct tense and you have the correct form:) If anybody wants me to correct their notes I'd be more than happy to oblige:)

Leite Dhonncha Pheig - An Seabhac.

Bhí Donncha pósta le Neil. Bhí cúigear sa chlann - Donncha, Neil, Máirín, Peats, agus Neil Óg. Bhí Neil slachmhar, néata. Rinne sí obair an tí go néata. Ach mo bhrón, bhí sí dearmadach. Gach tráthnóna, rinne sí dearmad ar an salann sa leite.

Bhí clampar sa teach gach tráthnóna, mar chaith Donncha an leite amach. Bhí eagla ar Neil bhocht.

Mar réiteach ar an scéal, d'éirigh siad as an leite. Tráthnóna amháin, bheartaigh Neil ar an leite a dhéanamh arís agus smaoinigh sí ar an salann. Bhí sí lán sásta. Chuaigh sí amach go dtí cró na mbó.

Tháinig Donncha isteach. Chonaic sé an leite is chuir sé mám salann ann. Amach leis. Ansin tháining Máirín isteach, agus rinne sí amhlaidh. Tháinig Geanc isteach ansin is chuir sé mám salann sa leite. Ag an deireadh, tháining Neil Óg isteach is rinne sí an rud céanna.

Ansin tháinig an clann go léir isteach. Bhí Neil lán sásta. Chuir Donncha spúnóg leite ina bhéal is ansin lig sé béic uafásach as mar bhí an iomarca salann sa leite.

Bhí Neil bocht croíbhriste. Anois ólann siad tae gach tráthnóna.

So, how's that? My Irish isn't great, so there could be spelling mistakes and the like.

I also just found out how hard and tedious it is to type in Irish. I was going to post up a few more answers, but I'll just do one short poem for now.

The words in bold print I had to correct. Very few mistakes-so maith thú!:)

Your first botún was you didn't put the 'ar' after dearmad. You have to say 'Rinne mé/sé etc. dearmad AR something!

Your second botún wasn't really a mistake as such, but you swapped tenses. You said 'bhíodh'. While that's grand to use that, it's a different tense to what you have been using, so to be on the safe side, I'd stick with 'bhí'.

Your third botún was 'bheartaigh'. Beartaigh takes 'ar' after it, so I've fixed that for you. If you want you could use Shocraigh instead as they both mean decided.

Your fourth botún was 'Ar Deireadh'. It's much better to say 'Ag an Deireadh' or 'Sa Deireadh'.

You then just forgot the fáda on 'Céanna'.

Your final botún: You said 'croí briste' it's 'croíbhriste'.

Otherwise, your Irish isn't bad ar chor ar bith! You had very few errors:) If you have a few more for me to correct I'll do that too! I had said on here that I'd put up a list of Irish phrases, but with all my study I found that impossible! So sorry guys! I'll make it up to ye though by correcting some of your essays or if ye have maths problems I'll do that for ye too:D

Industry: (Tipped to come up)

Factors Affecting Industrial Location:

Before companies decide to locate a new factory or business they must first consider the following important factors.

1. Resource Materials - Resource materials are important inputs into the factory and factories try to locate either: as close to the resource material as possible or where they can access they resource material easily, i.e. near a port if the resource material is bulky.

2. Labour - Factories locate where they can get a large educated workforce such as in cities and towns.

3. Transport - Factories locate near major roads, rail, port and air terminals to transport their outputs as quickly and cost efficiently as possible.

4. Markets - The marked is the place where the product/output of the factory is sold. Factories locate as close as possible to their markets or locate where they good access to their markets.

5. Services - All companies require telecommunication, electricity and water services, all of which are provided for in Ireland espeically in designated industrial estates.

6. Capital - Companies need money to invest in building factories and setting up businesses to be able to develop and expand their industry.

7. Government/EU Policy - Irish governments policy is to provide grants to promote industrial development through the IDA. The government lowered the rate of corporate tax to 12.5% to entice foreign companies to Ireland. This is known as Direct Foreign Investment.

Light Industry:

Case Study - Intel

A light industry usually processes small or lightweight raw materials into finished products, e.g. the manufacture of computer parts.

Intel are an American multinational corporation (MNC) which make computer components such as micro-processors. They employ 3,200 workers directly and over 1,000 workers indirectly through spin-off industries. They are located just off the M4 motorway at Leixlip on the Dublin/Kildare county boundary.

Factors affecting Intel's location:

1. Transport - The factory is accessible via the M4 and M50 to Dublin airport and the roll-on, roll-off ferry at Dublin port. The port tunnel speeds up the delivery of Intel's outputs.

2. Markets - 25% of Intel's world sales are in Europe and they chose this site because they could use Ireland as a spring-board to access the European market.

3. Labour - Dublin has a well-educated workforce which meets Intel's demands.

4. Services - 9 million litres of water a day from the River Liffey are used by Intel.

5. Government policy - The IDA provided grants to Intel to locate their factory here and the government lowered corporate tax to 12.5%


Heavy Industry:

Case Study - Aughinish Alumina:

A heavy industry usually processes heavy and bulky raw materials into finished products, e.g. the use of iron ore to make steel.

Aughinish Alumina is located on Aughinish Island 28km from Limerick City on the Shannon Estuary. The factory refines 1.5 million tonnes of bauxite into alumina annually. Aughinish Alumina employs 700 workers directly with many other spin-off industries.

Factors affecting Aughinish Alumina's location:

1. Transport - The factory is located on a deep-water marine terminal on the River Shannon near the town of Foynes.

2. Resource material - The heavy and bulky bauxite (input) is imported from the Republic of Guinea (on the west coast of Africa)

3. Markets - The output alumina is exported by ship to Scandinavia and the UK to be processed further into aluminium.

4. Labour - The factory is located within commuting distance of Limerick city which provides workers.

5. Services - Water is provided by the local River Deel

6. Governemt Policy - The Irish government provides grants and incentives for industrial development.
