Will Bucks Waiving of Demarcus Cousins would raise consern over his career?

 DeMarcus Cousins is reportedly close to finding a new home, with the Denver Nuggets planning to sign the big man to a 10-day contract, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

The 31-year-old was waived by the Milwaukee Bucks this week to open a roster spot and in Denver, he would form a strong center rotation behind reigning MVP Nikola Jokic. 

He would also reunite with former coach Mike Malone who was with the Sacramento Kings in 2013-14.

Cousins, who have struggled with injuries in recent seasons, split time last season between the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers after missing the entire 2019-20 season due to an ACL injury. 

He was productive in his stint in Milwaukee, averaging 9.0 points, 5.8 rebounds in 17 games (five starts).

According to The Undefeated's Marc Spears, Cousins will first meet with Nuggets President Tim Connelly "before a contract is officially offered."

Symbols in English

Dashes 

Dash is used to indicate a pause in the middle of a text. There are two types of dashes. N and M dash.

N Dash

The best way to remember the N dash is that it is as same as the width of a letter N. If you use a keyboard you should type key dash and enter.

I will explain few instances you should use N dash. So you can understand when N dash should use on your tasks.

Range of numbers.

I can eat 10-15 hamburgers for dinner.

Range of time

The schedule window for the management meeting is 1:00-1:30pm.

If there is a connection between two words.

He is a well-educated businessman who will be conducting the seminar.

M Dash

Using M dash is quite a complex task. I advised you not to use it for your exams. 

It is basically used in informal writing. If you are a transcriptionist or a writer you can use em dashes sparingly.

M dash was used when the author seemed to indicate a strong connection. Instead of using semicolons, it is appropriate to use the em dash.

All in his life, He has had two friends__ Nimal and Kamal.


This is also used for presenting abusive content.

How to Read Novels and improve English: Godfather

GodFather Novel by Mario Puzo

 

 

This is learning English fun edition. Another method that I described is that reading. 

You have a great opportunity to increase your knowledge of doing that. 

This story is quite an addictive piece about an underworld king. This is so good that they have created movies using this book. 
The English used in this book seemed to be somewhat easy to understand.

 

When I put so much blame on traditional methods of teaching, these are my answers for you. Instead of wasting your time in a classroom with an English tutor, this is really satisfactory.

What is it about?

This book is about an underworld mafia king named Vito Corleone and his family members. Vito Corleone was a very poor illegal immigrant to the USA. 

However, after spending his life against injustice he managed to create his own Kingdom. He used to help people and with his intelligent mind, he managed to rein for decades. This was in the 1940s.

If you are a book person, it is as addictive as it gets. This one of the highest-selling books.

How to read a book if I can't read English

I know it is not going to be easy if you're a beginner, never read a book or anything in English. 

But you have to remember no one born to this world with knowing English even natives. 

So if you are a complete beginner, take your time take sentence by sentence, help with Google and a dictionary you will slowly but surely improve.

How still I can't read it

If you can't read even then you should start to watch TV shows that I cover in my previous blog.
Remember there is always a proper way.


Why I do not recommend God Father Movies.

As I mentioned before, they have created 3 sequel movies from this. These movies are a huge success even though they couldn't live up to the story in the book. 

They have skipped lots of parts. Therefore I do not recommend God Father Movies. 

How to get this book

I saw there are free pdf copies available for download (you can search Google) If you cannot buy this.


Enjoy the article don’t forget to share.
