...Museum is a place where rare things of past and present are kept. Those who want to have look into past visit museum. Last Friday my friends and I decided to visit a museum because the museum is a place where you can see a collection of rare things and things of historical interest. It is a store house of all wonderful and valuable things. All the things of the past and the present e can see at one place. There is a big museum in Lahore. It is situated near the Town Hall. In front of it runs the Mall Road and opposite to it stands and University Hall with its lofty clock tower. The museum is in a big building which consists of many big halls. It is managed by all officer. We bought tickets to enter the museum. To visit the museum is an education in itself and for this reason it is visited by hundreds of people every day. Travelers from foreign countries also make it a point to visit it because it enables them to peek into the arts and crafts of Pakistan. Women and children also go to the museum in large numbers every day but may be they go to kill their time. Despite it everybody learns something form the museum. When we entered the first hall we found many pictures hung on its walls. These pictures were of old kings saints and statesmen. Some of these were drawn purely from the imagination. All of them however provided a feast of colors for the eye. If we were to take a student of painting with us he would tell us many interesting things about these pictures and paintings...

...The idea of the “flipped classroom” is for a professor to basically put there lectures online for students to watch, and during regular class time they actually work on homework and assignments from the lectures that the students watched online. I think the flipped classroom is a good idea, because I know from personal experience sitting and listening to a lecture in class gets boring after awhile and people tend to not care or listen to what is actually going on. Then the professors wonder why so many students aren’t doing well in the class, and the reason probably is because they are bored and don’t feel like sitting for 50 minutes or an hour and a half listening to a teacher just talk. I actually wouldn’t mind the flipped classroom model because I am one of those students that will get bored sitting in class listening to a teacher talk, especially if it’s a class that I don’t find interesting, like history. It would be good to do interactive things in class so that we don’t have to hear a teacher talk for an hour. The only down side to this would be that some students aren’t going to watch the online lectures. I know for sure I wouldn’t sit at a computer for an hour and listen or watch a lecture. If teachers chose to do this they should at least make their lectures somewhat interactive even online or at least do it in parts so a student isn’t sitting there bored for an hour. I wouldn’t mind for some of my professors to take part in the flipped classroom model, it’s something...

See how much you understand by trying the activity below and checking the answers below the audio script. Comprehension activity: In each case, match a summary of what was said to the speaker. The speakers are in the order in which you hear them. Speaker Martina Rachel Romesh Mark John Summary statement I have a clear policy on when I can have distractions. I was surprised to find I couldn’t work like I had expected to. It’s often difficult for me to find the ideal working conditions. My expertise makes it easier for me to listen to music while I work. Whether I listen to music or not depends on the amount of attention the task requires. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. a) b) c) d) e) Martina: “It depends what I’m doing. I can listen to music of any kind when I’m doing a translation, I like it, it helps me even, but if I’m doing some complex maths then I have to have silence. It depends on the level of concentration that’s needed, I guess.” Rachel: “No, it has to be complete silence for me. It’s a real problem actually because I live in a shared house with lots of other students in the middle of a noisy city. It’s very difficult to get real peace and quiet. When I can I go back to my parents who live out in the country. It’s good when I have lots of exams to study for because it’s so peaceful out there – no disturbances at all!” Romesh:...

...Brilliant Public Speaking XXXXXXXXXXX BCOM 275 June 30th, 2014 Dr. Rankin Brilliant Public Speaking After watching the “Brilliant Speaking Video”, I believe that I have so much more knowledge when it comes to speaking. I felt as if I kind of built more confidence especially with the tips that I’ve learned and never paid attention to before until I seen the video in this week’s chapter. In this week’s chapter, the video related to how language is important. Connecting with your audience emotionally is something that can persuade your audience on your beliefs. The video related to the chapter as to the benefits that you could receive from speaking. Being able to speak to people and make an impact by having them listen and believe in what you are saying and you have grabbed there attention is a start for a brilliant speaker. One of the best practices that were discussed in the video in which was more relevant to me was the timing. At times, I tend to make things too long and not just enough. This can make my speech very boring and uninteresting especially when trying to keep the audience’s attention. Learning to keep the audience interested by throwing a little sense of humor is definitely something that I will take with me. I believe that putting my emotions into some things will also benefit me in the end because that’s a way that the audience can connect with me. Another thing that interested me was staying hydrated. Drinking lots water the night before a speech...

...improve your memory? If so, please share them. If not, what kinds of things might you try in the future to help improve your memory? When it comes to a specific strategy that I use to improve my memory, I would have to say I like to doodle. If I am sitting in a boring class or meeting, I start to draw hearts, flowers, peace signs, faces, retracing words or letters, etc. in my margins. It may seem like I am paying less attention or not paying attention at all, when doodling, but in reality the act of me drawing allows me to keep my brain active. Just sitting there when I am bored makes it easier for me to tune out and as a result I remember less information. Doodling in lectures and meetings seems to ease tension for me and diminishes boredom. When doodling, I am not actually spacing out, I am making my thoughts come together, congealing my own ideas. Also, being a health fanatic, I get plenty of sleep and exercise, which has been proven to help with memory. Physical activity increases alertness and oxygen supply to the brain, helping to improve memory along with numerous other things. Sleep is when it consolidates information learned into a long-term memory, so if you stay awake for long periods of time, your brain can not go through this process, therefore getting plenty of rest is essential when improving...

...Brittney Chandler Dr. Teri Maddox SPEECH 1010-06 31 January 2012 “Listening is a 10 Part Skill.” Listening to another person speak can be very difficult sometimes. A lot of students might find sitting still and listening to someone lecture or saying a speech can be quiet boring. All audience should be content and pay attention. Some students tend to get distracted though. There are times when I am like that and can get distracted by my own thoughts. Good listeners focus on central ideas. Poor listeners concetrate too much on trying to commit too many facts to memory too fast. Being flexible in note taking is a very important skill. If you write too much on your notes you could easily get misplaced in your speech and things can get very unorganized. To have nice prepared notes you should write main topics and highlight the main details to keep the speeker on track. Also if a speeker over writes too much on their notes they tend to sound like reading aloud instead of saying a speech. Another problem is a lack of eye contact. Keeping your head and mind open and clear will help you be an attenative listener. A lot of students may get distracted and let their mind wonder while there is a speaker making a speech for the class. For example, students will think about what they might be doing the coming up weekend. The listener should be full focused on the speaker. They should be making eye contact and sitting up. If the listener is sitting up and leaning forward with...

...What is next? Marry finally completed her homework, everything is done for the moment. It is 8:00 pm, and it is very early to go bed for her. She was alone in her silent room. She completely felt bored. What a tedious moment it looks! She turned her laptop on, and she searched “How to overcome boredom?” Though she liked every single suggestion, they were more boring than she has never imagined before. Therefore, she tempted to suggest three ways to overcome boredom: Creating noise, kidding the grandmother and practicing a hobby. First, the creation of noise helps changing the atmosphere. In order to create noise, you need to go to the kitchen, handle a dish and break it down. Consequently, your mother will hear the noise and steps towards the place. It might look a childish act, but gallop away right after. As this way, the body will profit from energy, a new air will be inhaled and the surrounding will be more active than it was before. Thence, this helps changing mood and dropping away boredom. Second, try to look for you grandmother. She might be doing her habitual activity of knitting you a colorful wool sweater or socks. She must be watching her favorite TV animation series “Shaun the Sheep”. Get closer to her and scream aloud then hide yourself, as if she is just pretending to hear the voice. This is not a mocking action or a disrespectful behavior more than a beautiful disposal that might turns to an emotional scene, where your grandmother is probably going to hug...

Career Information:. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2015. Web. 28 Jan. 2016. 1) My survey responses revealed that I would be best suited for enterprising. I disagree with the results of the survey because none of the jobs listed suit my personal interests. A general manager or a real estate agent are not careers I would choose because I enjoy daily changes, and completing the same tasks would make my job strenuous and boring. I would enjoy having a job where I could meet new people and offer my help to the needy. 2) Out of the two career paths, a real estate agent is more interesting. This is because I would get to travel all around my city, learn about the best school districts, become informed about dangerous neighborhoods, and then some. Factors that influence this choice would be family and finances. If you know a lot of people, chances are you will succeed in advancing in your career, which in turn will mean making more money. Family is very important to me, so having a job that I could dictate the times in which I work would be very helpful. My choice may change over time after seeing how my clients react, or seeing I become bored with showing houses every day. This career path compares to my future job I have in mind because both careers involve being able to communicate effectively...
