Keeping Kids Creative

Dear Readers,

We have all heard the buzzwords of the knowledge-based economy - creative, innovative, resourceful.We are told that our students will need these abilities, not just facts and figures, to thrive in the workplace of the future. And we,their teachers, need to equip them through creative teaching. Hence, here I try to unravel the nuts and bolts behind these ideas, to find out what creative teaching is all about and how it can be implemented in the classroom.

Join Me and I will appreciate it very much if you sign in my guestbook and leave your comments.

Listening To Music


Sometimes, when we listen to slow music,
it will make our
mind relax and calm us down. 
However, not many students listen to music
when they have stress. 
This is one of the ways to reduce their stress and
they can save their money.
For student to reduce their stress, they have to listen to music.
For us to gain more knowledge, we must read more.
For the athletes to win the tournament, they  have to practise more.
They will forget what had happened in the past.
By listening to music students will become less stressful and happier.
Students must also manage their time properly and wisely
between study and entertainment .
In that way, they do not waste their time.
 

A Good Friend

    Everybody needs a good friend. A good friend can help you when you have problems. You can always share your problems with her and she can give advice to you to solve your problems. Besides that, she can take care of you when you are sick. She can also inform your parents or sent you to the sick bay. Furthermore, your good friend can lend you some money when you are broke.

Sample Essay (cont)


Topic :
The world today is turning more to electronic communications such as the e-mail, Facebook and Short message System (SMS). What is your opinion of this growing trend? Discuss.
You should write at least 350 words.
Sample essay (cont) :        
         Secondly, this form of technology enhances communication among people today. This means that when we use SMS, e-mails and websites like Facebook, we are able to communicate clearly and directly to our target audience. Furthermore, people today find that the message is more important than the form it comes in as an e-mail in short but clear sentences is just as good or even better than a long and formal letter. For instance, an SMS can give clear instructions in just a few words and this communicates what needs to be done quickly and directly. Thus, when the intended message can be spread clearly using short and clear information like in SMSes and emails, communication can be enhanced and there will be less problems of miscommunication.
 
         Last but not least, e-communication creates a borderless community in the world we live in today. This is due to the fact that the boundaries that separate each country becomes less relevant when information is transferred without limitations. In addition, the world would be a better place because there is a sense of 1-World commitment, respect and tolerance for the global community through efficient and clear e-communication. Take for example, we are able to connect with people on an international basis using Facebook, Friendster, Tagged, Hotmail, Yahoo and others. Hence, these tools will enhance global unity and create a more peaceful world.

 
         In a nutshell, this growing trend has many positive effects not just to individuals but the global society in terms of efficiency, enhancing communicative skills and shaping a borderless community. In my opinion, I still firmly believe that this latest trend is the best way forward and if we do not catch up, we will be left behind by the tide of development. Our government can encourage the proper usage of electronic communications by increasing communication amenities and broadband accessibility especially in rural areas so that they can enjoy the same facilities as city-folks therefore balancing the development of our country towards achieving Vision 2020.

Tips On Essay Writing


Come on, get yourselves familiar with essays.......

      Generally, in answering academic essays, you need to really focus on a higher level of thinking which befits a Band 6, university style response. If you were to just answer that this electronic communication trend is good and that you can chat with your friends and keep in touch, then you really haven't explored the question in a mature and critical way.
     How do you train your mind to be more critical and mature in approaching the question? Well, you need to focus not just on the effects of the concept to yourself and the people around you, but focus on how it will affect society not just in your country but globally.
     Anyway, have a read of the sample answers in the next posts. Take note that I'm sticking to my writing template, but better students can use a more creative style to show their flair in writing effective compositions.
