along with the fast speed of life‚ the youth love faster‚ get married earlier; however the divorce rate is also higher. Then in what age should people marry?

Should our 48 states keep the tobacco age limit at 18 years old or raise it to the age of 21?

The first of the four Approaches I will discuss is Attention to Speech. Taglimonte (2006: p.8) suggests that it is “the style from which every other style must be calibrated”. William Labov devised a sociolinguistic interview designed to produce a range of types of speech.
