is there any grammar problem, and i need a conclusion please!!!?

We Answered:

Just a tip!...many people on here say they have had their papers stolen and published online after they post them on here!
Please ask for help (here) by contacting via email, so the people who actually care will help you...and not make you a victim of so-called plagery of your own paper! Thankyou.

Otherwise, nicely done.
Made a few corrections, the symbols I used are detailed through the key in (Source) area underneath.
I'm horrible at Conclusions, but just summarize by re-stating these ideas in different word-phrase, while giving your final thoughts!
(I know...Easier said than done.lol)

I'm procrastinating on my Character-Sketch paper! ;)

Hope this helps!





As a Canadian, I have come to realize that there is a major problem between literacy and illiteracy. Some people still struggle to use SOME of the most original methods to survive. %I've noticed in subways, or on buses people still counting the number of stops by their fingers. %It's even noticeable in supermarkets when people just use memorization to find *their favorite foods and products by memorize the shape of +a+ box or color. (((I would think that these were the problems of the past.))) However in 2007, illiteracy is still a problem. Today, various levels of government are ***helping to reduce literacy rates, and ***help close the gap between illiteracy and literacy. &&&And I also would like to further discuss some programs available in Fort McMurray Alberta.&&&

First of all, what is the definition of literacy? The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization +commonly known as...simply referred to as+ /UNESCO/ has drafted the following definition: "Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute, using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts. Literacy involves a continuum of learning to enable an individual to achieve his or her goals, to develop his or her knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in the wider society." The <Statistics Canada> and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development summarize Canada have three types of literacy and four levels of literacy to be considerate that +one is+ either _ _ literate or illiterate.

In the 3 types of literacy, _ _ literacy +is defined+ as _ _ _ _ +an individual's ability+ to use written information +in order+ to function in society, achieve their goals and _ develop their knowledge and potential. Type 1, /Prose Literacy/ +is referred to as+ the ability to understand the use +of+ information from texts, such as +a+ newspaper. Type 2, /Document Literacy/ +implies+ the ability to find and use information from documents such as maps. +Finally,+ type 3 +of+ /Quantitative Literacy/ +infers to+ the ability to make calculations with numbers imbedded in text, +such+ as balancing a cheque book.
In the four levels of literacy, _ _ +the first level refers to+ _ _ _ +an individual's+ difficulty with +comprehending+ printed materials and identify themselves as unable to read. At level 2, people _ +may only+ use printed materials for limited purposes such as finding a familiar word in a simple text. At level 3, people _ +have the skills to+ use reading materials in a variety of situations providing it is simple, clearly laid out and the tasks involved are not too complex. At level 4, people _ +are able to+ use a wide range of reading and writing skills to deal with complex materials.

In fact, a recent report by the /Canadian Council on Social Development/, _ compared Canada+'s +literacy rate+ to other developed countries, not+ing that +Canada has+ the third largest population of young people with poor literacy skills. That is +shocking and+ unacceptable. In our country, over 25% of students still have problems with reading and writing skills. _ _ +More than+ 30% of students drop out of high school every year. The adult illiteracy rate +is+ also +very+ high, +while+ up to 50% of adults can neither read nor write and this +may+ rise to over 80% in the future _ particularly in Western Canada, +as it has a high aboriginal population.+ However, in Canada there is a large range between very high and very low +scores+ on the prose literacy scale.

The government+al +branch+ of Canada, such as provincial and municipal, have the primary responsibility +of+ education+al training for adult(s) or teenage(rs) +who+ never complete high school. +The+ provincial government is investing considerable resources in a range of programs and services for adults or teenage(rs) with low literacy skills, which vary according to regional needs and priorities. Our government plays a(n) important role in +the+ literacy +of+ Canada. The government is engaged _ in directly helping adults _ develop their literacy skills at the community level. The Canadian Government reported that within +an+ overall budget +of+ $30M per year the National Literacy Secretariat also supports partnerships with non-governmental organizations, literacy groups, business associations, labour unions, and academic institutions to help address literacy needs. These partnerships improve +the+ access to literacy programs, promote public awareness, enhance information sharing and coordination, and support research +along with+ the development of learning materials.

In Fort McMurray, +a+ program +can be found+ at Keyano College for those _ who never finished _ high school. This program is call+ed /The Academic Foundations Program/, +which+ offers an+ opportunity +for individuals+ to upgrade to the grade 9 equivalency. There are three levels +of the program+ to choose from: Entry (Adult Literacy), Intermediate and Advanced. The +program is+ based is on the individual applicant's skills and knowledge. After +a+ student completes this program, +they+ may continue in the college preparation program, or qualify for admission into career +and+ trades programs or enter the work+ing force.
