How 2 hav fun at skul (part 2)

Aaaah! Long time no posting. Hehehe~~
Soo, dis is bout how 2 hav fun at school part 2. Enjoy (lol)..~

1. Seek out frens. If u arnt in classes wid a lot of people u know, look for people wid similar interests, n try 2 make frens in ur classes. u can always sit 2gether n study 2gether, n having a fren in every class makes skul a lot more interesting.

2. Pursue projects dat u like. Wheneva u hav a choice bout a skul project, pick sumthin dat actually interests u . It might seem easier at first 2 just choose a simple topic, but if u can get invested in wat u r studyin, u can enjoy skul a lot more.

3. Make de most of ur electives. De required courses might b borin, but use ur free periods 2 do things dat really interest u. Mayb dat means heading out 2 de vocational facilities or mayb it means a drama or art class. Either way, hav fun at skul by takin classes u like as often as possible.

4. Do as well as u can in ur studies. Skul is a lot more fun when u arnt worried bout failin all de time. Try 2 strike a balance between studyin all de time n not gettin any work done. Use study groups 2 make de work more fun, n u can actually enjoy skul n achieve gud grades.

5. Remember dat it's temporary. No matter how much u hate school, try 2 keep things in perspective. There's always new people, new subjects, n new activities rite around de corner, n graduation comes sooner dan u think. So hav as much fun as u can while u r there, coz it doesn't last 4eva.

..How 2 Make Friends At School..

Every teen wants 2 belong sumwhere at skul.
U may ask what characteristics determine who will b accepted in2 a clique or not. In de case of being popular, it usually depends on who is beautiful or physically fit, who has de most friends, and who exudes personal outward confidence. In our technological world today, teens R finding that acceptance is also driven by how many calls dey get on deir cell phone and how many instant messaging conversations dey can keep up at one time. Geeks R infatuated with new technology, computers, n inventing, while jocks can talk all day bout sports n famous sports stars.

Here R sum tips 2 help ya develop confidence n make friends at school:

  • Build up confidence. Focus on what you are confident about, whether it be math, science, track, or chess. Are there any clubs at school associated with these interests?
  • Limit friendships. Concentrate on finding one or two really good friends. After feeling comfortable with a few people, it will be easier to open up and make new friends in the future.
  • Ask questions. People love to talk about themselves. Just listen intently and remember points that they make, so you can bring them up at a later time.
  • Use friendly gestures. Try smiling and laughing a bit when talking to others. This will help loosen you up and make you feel more relaxed.
  • Attitude check. Sometimes being shy means that you come across as untouchable or not wanting to make friends. Don't give this impression, if at all possible.
  • Give it time. As social skills start to develop in the early pre-teen years, you will find it easier to communicate with others. It will take its natural course.
  • Be picky. Don't make friends with the wrong group of people. You do not want to get mixed up with kids who like to gossip about others or put others down just to fit in.
  • Befriend another shy person. There is strength in numbers. Why not make friends and the two of you can support each other.
  • Be yourself. Trying to be just like someone else is hard work, especially if you are shy to boot. Making friends is not about mimicking to fit in. You want friends who like you just the way you are.

..How 2 giv a gud presentation.

U may hav 2 guv a presentation in English at skul, for an examination, or in UR future job. Follow dis advice :

  • Find de information U need 4 UR talk well b4 de day of de presentation. U can find lots of information in libraries or on de internet!
  • Make notes. Write down de most important words. U dun need 2 write sentences coz it isn't usuall a gud idea 2 read aloud. A gud speaker will look at de audience, not at his or her piece of paper.
  • Make sure UR presentation has a gud, interesting start n ending. These R wat UR audience will remember most.
  • Find pictures, diagrams, graphs, etc. 2 show UR audience if U can. This always help listeners 2 enjoy a talk n listen carefully.
  • Sum time b4 UR presentation - ideally de day b4 - practise wat U R goin 2 say. U can do dis alone, of course. If there is a time limit, time URself 2 make sure UR talk isn't 2 long or 2 short.
  • B4 U begin UR talk, try not 2 feel nervous. It's a gud idea 2 try relaxation exercises. 4 example deep breathing, n think positively!

..Improve Our Memory..

Everyone can improve their memory if they want 2. Here R sum tips. All of dem R helpful *lol*, but none of dem can make UR memory 100% perfect.

  • Try 2 use new indormation immediately. 4 example, if U meet sum1 who says "Hi! I'm Gia," dun just say "Hello." Repeat de person's name. Say "Hello, Gia."
  • If U hav 2 remember sumthing dat's big, break it in2 smaller sections. 4 example, it's hard 2 memorise 109244153. But if U break it in2 three sections - 109/244/153 - it becums easier.
  • Always review information. If U bring things U've learned back 2 UR mind, dey becum more memorable. 4 example, b4 u go 2 sleep it's a good idea 2 remind URself of de new things U learned dat day. They'll b easier 2 remember de next day.
  • Relax - nothing is easy 2 learn if U R stressed.
  • Above all, never tell URself dat U hav a bad memory. U can always do sumthing 2 help improve UR memory, n every1's memory gets better if dey use it often enough.

..Speaking..

Here R sum idea 2 help U practice speaking English outside de classrum :

  • Record a list of quetions bout UR activities n interest. Later, play back de questions n answer dem aloud. Do dis once or twice a week - UR answer will b different at different times. After a few weeks, add more questions or record a new ones.
  • Practice dialogues with a fren - help each other with expression n pronunciation when U can. If possible, record UR dialogues, listen 2gether n den practice again.
  • Try 2 talk in English for 15-20 minutes every day with a fren. Perhaps U can do dis when U R coming 2 skul or goin home. .
  • Leave a voice message in English on UR fren's phone. When U get a message from UR fren, ring back 2 leave a reply.
  • If U know any English speakers, hav conversations with dem as often as U can.

..How 2 study effectively?..

An important part of learning sumthing iz making sure U plan UR time n use it well. If U wanna remember things well, U need 2 revise information U've learned.
Try 2 follow dis advice : (lol)

DO :

  • Make a study timetable at least 3 weeks b4 UR exams n allow time 2 relax n hav fun!
  • Revise little n often.
  • While U're studying, hav short regular breaks. A short break every 45 minutes is a gud idea. Stand up n walk around - U'll feel more awake!
  • Try making a week's plan showing wat U do every day (skul, travel, meals, etc). U might see where U're wasting time dat U could use 2 study or read.
Don't :
  • Study for hours every night a week b4 UR exams! Studying for hours de night b4 will make U tired n UR brain won't work well.
  • Study 4 a long period of time without a break. U probably won't remember information very well if U do dis.
  • Worry 2 much. If U feel anxious U won't learn as well as if U're relaxed.
