The Right Way of TeachingThe Right Way of Teaching

The way of teaching effects the studies of the students. Because if a teacher teaches in a boring way, the students get tired and try to bunk the classes. If the teacher doesn't ask questions from the class, the class will, ofcourse, start sleeping. Some teachers tell the students to ask the questions after the lecture, which the students forget to ask. And some of the strict teachers even don't allow the students to ask questions or share thier views. The students should be allowed to ask and share their views, in order to build up thier confidence.

Moreover, there should be interesting activities for the student, like group working. So that the students take interest in the studies. Competitions should be arranged to buck up the students.

Homework

Is homework necessary or not? This is a very important question. Too much homework effects the physical health of a child. If any child is given too much homework, it becomes a burden for him and when he doesn't get time to complete it, he hands his homework to the parents or any elder person to complete it. And such homework, of course, give him no benefit. When a student gets too much homework to do, he cannot spare time for physical games and thus, gets fatter day by day.

On the other hand, homeworks bring a sense of responsibility in a child. Completing the homework and getting it checked by the teacher the other day becomes his responsibility. Students learn more and more from homeworks. It saves the child from wasting his time on non-resulting tasks.

But the homeworks should be given in such a way, that the student takes interest in it. And it depends upon the teacher whether he gives a boring task or an interesting one...

Present Pakistan ~ 19-4-08

How to describe the situation of Pakistan? Why is terrorism in Pakistan? This question is asked now a days by each and every man I meet. But the main point is that, who is making Pakistan so that the Pakistanis could even not say (in foreign) that we belong to Pakistan. Is it our own government or a foreign plan? The present survey shows that most of the Pakistanis think that it is all planned by the government and other political parties. But do they have any proof? I agree that there are some corrupt people in the government but not all of them.

If we notice some previous attacks... A news flash came on my T.V. screen "Dr. Sherafghan Niazi badly beaten by Lawyers (coming from the Chamber)". But not all those people, who were there at the very movement, were in lawyer's uniform. And till where I think, a lawyer coming from the Chamber should be in the lawyer's uniform. The man who saw this accident said that some people were called, intentionally over there, they came in land cruisers and those were not lawyers.

After some days, the terrorists attacked the lawyers in Karachi. In this incident 7 or 8 lawyers were burnt alive and many injured. I was shocked to here this news. This attack clearly pointed that the lawyers are endangered and some bad powers are spoiling their name.

From this article I wanted to give a moral that the rumors about corrupt government should be stopped...

Board Examinations

Why are board examinations taken as a great burden? Can they effect our life? No, not at all! What I think, they CAN effect our career upto 90%, but not our life! The student who tops the board is also a human like us with a single piece of brain. Does he study that much, that his rest is not completed? No, he is hard working but takes his complete rest. The basic point I wanted to share is, in exams(specially in those of the boards) we should take complete rest and try to learn all the things of memorizing before the exam starts, so that we can have a thorough reading over the exercises.

Kosovo

Islamic Republic of Kosovo was an issue till 18th February 2008 because the people of Kosovo(Albanians) wanted to have a separate nation. This was also a mission of UNO. Kosovo also has been a land for the Ottomans. It has now been independent from Serbia. It is a parliamentary republic of 30 states. Its capital and the largest city is Pristina. It is a landlocked, partially recognized republic in southeastern Europe with a population of two million people.

The Right Way of Memorizing

Many people are confused because they don't get the right way to learn or memorize a thing. As we get older, our

mind gets tired and it becomes really hard for us to remember, even the everyday works.

In this article I will try to define some of the easiest ways of learning.

The way many students learn is rot learning. Rot learning is not the right way to learn. To define "Rot Learning", let

me give an example: A student has to learn a sentence..."I adore my friends".
Now if he pronounce this sentence for 50 times, he can memorize it, but he will not know its real meaning. He can

keep this sentence in his mind for two or three weeks or even forget it soon!

Now if he has learnt the same sentence in a way he knows it meaning, he could also say the same sentence in his own

words. This is the best method to learn and the memorized sentence would remain in his mind for a long period of

time.

Similarly, a good way of learning is to give references to anything. Like if we have to learn the name "James Bond", so

we can learn it making a sentence "I got a prize of Jams!". This method of learning looks funny but I recommend my

readers to learn and memorize the everyday works by this method.

Children of three or four years of age do not know most of the things. We tell them from showing the picture of that.

If we are making them to learn the English alphabets, we often tell them "A for Apple" and show them the picture of

an apple. Similarly, in our daily life, we can also learn many things by making their picture in our mind. For instance,

we are going to learn a simple name "James". If we divide it into two parts, it becomes "Jam-es". Now we can learn

this name by drawing some bottles of Jam in our mind.

Another way of learning is to speak or pronounce the work we have to do. For example, If I pronounce "I will read an

article at 6 p.m", now I will not forget to read the article at 6 p.m.

I hope you liked my article and also hope to get nice comments from your side.
