3. Pick an original topic. If you are giving a report to your classmates, try to pick a topic that is original and engaging. If you are the third person to give a report on Disneyland that day, chances are you probably wonât have your classmates attention. If you are writing a report about a specific person, company, or place, try to find their own website. 2  For instance, if you are writing a report on Jane Goodall, a great source would be using the Jane Goodall Institute website.
Use the adjective contiguous when you want to describe one thing touching another thing, or next to it but not actually touching. Things that are contiguous are near or next to but not actually touching and yet they are also defined as touching, sharing a border.. You can use this adjective to describe people or things related to and nearby others. It comes from the Latin word contiguus, which means pretty much the same thing, bordering upon.. Because the word has two meanings that are very similar but not always the same it can be a bit confusing. This is an example of what's called semantic ambiguity, when something can mean more than one thing or a word or phrase is not precise.
To select a contiguous block of files, click the first file in the block. Then hold down the Shift key as you click the last file in the block. This will select not only those two files, but everything in between. If the files are scattered throughout the folder, you may be able to make them contiguous by grouping them. If you drag and drop to another folder on the same drive, Windows moves the files. 2  If you drag and drop to another drive, Windows copies them. 3  If you hold down Ctrl while you drag and drop, Windows will always copy the files, no matter where the destination (think C for Ctrl and Copy).
