How to improve the standard of English in schools

      English is an interesting language. It is not difficult for anyone to master it if the subject is made interesting to the learner.

       There are several ways to improve the standard of English in schools and the English Language Society can play an active role in encouraging the usage of English among students.

      For instance, the English Language Society can organize spelling competition among students of each form. The best students from each form will get a prize but it must be something that can be shared with the rest of the class. This is to encourage team work. Language games and inter-class debates can be organised. 

       Another way to improve the students’ command of the language would be to screen English movies. There are many good classic movies which are worth watching such as “My Fair Lady”, “The King and I”, “Mary Poppins”, etc. A “Speak English Day” will also be helpful. On this day, students should be encouraged to converse only in English.

        Lastly, English is closely linked to reading. So all students are encouraged to read more to improve in the language. A ‘Book Review” competition can be held for the purpose. The class whose students submit the highest number of book reviews will be the winner. 

  

         By talking the above-mentioned steps, the standard of English in the schools will surely improve.

Establishing Good Study Habits

Efficient Use of Time
"I'm here to tell you what I think is a key to academic survival and success. The first and most important thing I feel, at least to survival and success in the classroom, is efficient use of your time outside the classroom. Remember, there are 24 hours in a day. Set aside two to three hours each day for studying. This will leave you with five to six hours -- after we subtract time for our classes, meals, and a good night's sleep -- to do those things that we like to do much more than studying. The next thing that I feel contributes to survival and success in the classroom is periodic review of your lecture notes and the appropriate chapters in your textbooks. Periodic review and beginning to study for your exams early will save you time in the long run and it will prevent cramming. That way you can be well rested and more motivated and less anxious on test day. The last thing you can do to help get good grades is take advantage of all the academic resources at your university. It can only help you."

The Power of Cooperation "Education often looks like competition. We compete for interest in school, for grades when we're in school, and for jobs when we leave school. In such a climate it is easy to overlook the power of cooperation that is developed through study support groups. Study support groups feed you energy. People are social animals and we draw strength from groups. Aside from the comradery, the fellowship and the fun, support groups can assist you by elevating your spirit. There will be days when you just don't want to work on your education. Other members of the study group, however, can support you and encourage you. In addition to drawing strength from the group when you're down, you can give support to others yourself as they need it. A study support group is also a good place to build rewarding relationships with people. So remember your friends and classmates when you study."

Making the Hoops Aircraft

If you are fed up playing with ordinary paper plane, you can make a new type of aircraft called Hoop Aircraft. The things you need are straw, manila, cellophane tape and a pair of scissors. First and foremost, you should cut the manila card into two strips. One strip is bigger with the measurement 8cm by 2cm and another smaller one with 6cm by 2cm. Next,take the bigger strip and join end of the strip into a round shape. Then, put some cellophane tape to stick each end. Do the same to the other smaller strip. Now, you have two round strips. Take a piece of straw and stick it inside the bigger strip, round strip. Use the cellophane tape to make sure the straw is attached tightly onto the strip. At the other end, stick the straw into the smaller round strip. Repeat the similar process. Now, the aircraft is ready to launch by aiming the bigger round strip to the front, you can start throwing the hoops aircraft into the air. The hoops aircraft can fly up high in the air smoother than ordinary paperplane.

why we should laugh?

Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.

With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous resource for surmounting problems, enhancing your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health. Laughter dissolves distressing emotions, helps you relax and recharge and humor shifts perspective. In addition, laughter relaxes the whole body and leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.

Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease.Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.

why we should sleep

Heart attacks and strokes are more common during the early morning hours. This fact may be explained by the way sleep interacts with the blood vessels. Lack of sleep has been associated with worsening of blood pressure and cholesterol, all risk factors for heart disease and stroke. Your heart will be healthier if you get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep each night.

Advantage Of Internet

To begin with, the Internet helps connect people all around the world. Nowadays, people are in touch with other people from various places through using Yahoo, Mail and Skype, which is considered as one of the most significant tool as people can talk online without paying money. Therefore, people, especially students, can understand more and more about friends in multi-races with respect to their culture, custom, language, etc. Thus, people, with the Internet, are getting closer and closer and thus we can see that all people despite color, mother tongue are still in common.


Secondly, it is inevitable that the Internet can fulfill the huge source of knowledge to human being. When being lacked of information, we can find it, just by one click on Google, easily and quickly. Besides, children can look the Internet as a colorful place to learn since several websites teach children through vivid pictures and movies. Thus, children can find there such inspiration and interest for better study. Moreover, the Internet is very convenience. We cannot keep books all the time and if we need to find information, the mobility of the Internet is significantly in need.
