My first day at college is an important event of my life. To me it is an unforgettable day. During my school days. I had a glimpse of college life from my elder brothers and sisters. I was most curiously awaiting the day when I would start my college life.

I was admitted to the Government College of my city. I entered the college premises with new hopes and aspirations. I was glad to see that the college presented a new sight.

...My name is Musharraf Idris and I am currently a GCSE student in the Thomas Deacon Academy. I am currently applying for sixth form and here is what I have to offer to this institution: Personal Profile: I am a highly motivated, self disciplined and dedicated apprentice; I can contribute and undertake any facilities in a variety of situations, which combines good communication and management skills, with a high degree of enthusiasm and analytical thought processes, Ambitious, pro-active and with a lot of other additional skills. In my 4 years school my favourite and most successful subjects have been Maths, History, Spanish and English. I have particularly enjoyed doing I.T because in our class we do all sorts of things like presentations, using PowerPoint and analyses using the Excel spreadsheets. The work in I.T is really easy and there is no difficulty doing it. I have also found English particularly interesting because I got good grades for the essays, comprehension and the stories . I have had experience in other areas of work during the last year including working in a local busy restaurant (presently) In these jobs I have enjoyed a role of responsibility which in my opinion exceeds my years. In history, I am able to use sources to analyse well and find it easy to tie in with the work, as well as being able to identify primary evidence from secondary evidence. Although I often find the work in history difficult, I feel as though my skills are constantly improving...

...Many people choose to copy celebrities seen on TV and in Magazines. Try to explain why it is happening. Is it a positive or a negative development? Give your own opinion. There is no doubt that people emulate their favourite celebrities. Their fashion, characters and life style are prevalent among youngsters these days. Active media such as, internet, TV, magazines and mobile phones are delivering their latest style as well as latest fashion images. This development has more negative affects compared to positive. No one can deny the truth that teenage year of life is the time to do study to build bright future. Unfortunately, due to advancement in technology like, internet, multichannel TV and mobile phones with the access of internet on them are providing faster information about the new trends of fashion with the images of celebrities. These resources of information divert their mind from study. Moreover, children are also affecting with the trend of emulating. They do as they observe. Their tender minds do not have much knowledge as to the reality and theory of the life. .I would like to cite an example of magical films or dramas which are popular among the children. In many films characters are flying on the sky or disappearing etc. In addition, most of kids try to copy such characters which are impossible in real life. Consequently, they can get injured as well as get discouraged considering they cannot do effort like them. It would also be interesting to see the positive...

...will do in order to regain some of this order in life. Throughout my school years I was in a small french immersion class, we had a few changes throughout the years; some students coming and going to different schools but for the most part we were a constant group. This group consisted of mainly girls. I felt safe here, in my small community. Once we reached Junior high our "family" started to go through some growing pains. We were slowly losing members to the other classes. At the beginning of each year we would lose one or two family members to other families. In every family you have some members who are closer to others and seem to have more in common with them. At one point my "favourite" sister moved away to Edmonton, looking back I think this was the last straw, I panicked!! I can remember looking around and thinking to myself how can I stop this?, these are the people I've spent the majority of my time with, they are changing, they are leaving. I was losing my family. I had two choices, I could either stay where I felt safe, or I could follow the crowd. What to do? Ultimately the decision was mine, my parents were supportive in what ever I chose to do. So I did what most pre teens would do, I fell into peer pressure, I followed the group instead of following my heart. I changed over to the english class. I thought I would adjust naturally here, I know some of the students, I knew all of the teachers, but still didn't feel that contentment that I had felt...

...order to determine “the level and which specific aspects learners need to improve on” (Gravells, 2012, p.50), teachers should administer initial and diagnostic assessments to them before or at the start of a course or programme. The results of initial and diagnostic assessments can be used to help learners agree on Individual Learning Plans specifically designed to meet their learning needs. Some learners might have expectations of making rapid progress within a course or programme but unexpectedly experience difficulties due to a lack of personal or functional skills. Initial and diagnostic assessments should help teachers identify problems early relating to their learners’ personal skills. In certain circumstances, results from initial and diagnostic assessment might indicate that some learners do not have the requisite skills to have any realistic chance of progressing within a course or programme and they should be referred to a course or programme which more specifically meets their learning needs. On the other hand, some learners might have very advanced personal skills or abilities in relation to the minimum core and teachers should be able to ascertain which of their learners would need to feel more challenged during the programme and plan different activities to meet the needs of these learners. Results from initial and diagnostic assessments should be used by teachers to discuss and agree realistic targets with their learners...

...Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on children. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Essay 1 – High Score – Band 8-9 In today's modern world, computers are an essential part of everyday life. Around the globe, children often use computers from a very young age. Although it is important for children to participate in various well-balanced activities, in my opinion, children who use the computer daily are actually developing a critical skill for future success. The bases for my views are personal, academic, and professional. From a personal point of view, computers are an invaluable resource to help young people explore the world around them. For example, children who use Internet to satisfy their curiosity about diverse topics are already becoming independent learners. No child with a computer is ever bored! By starting early in their lives, children feel totally at ease around computers; they are also able to take advantage of the wide range of services computers provide. From an academic viewpoint, children have no choice but to master this technological invention. For instance, when I was in university, students brought their laptops to class to take notes, do research and exchange information. They wrote assignments, created presentations and developed databases. Children who build early confidence and experience in these abilities are at a distinct...

...A Literary Autobiography My inclination for writing stems from a great love of books, which began in early childhood. My mother started reading to me in infancy, and by the second grade I was reading full-length novels. First it was Nancy Drew mysteries; the classic ones, of course. By the fourth grade I was consuming the entire Chronicles of Narnia in a month, and soon after came the Harry Potter series, which, at the time, was incomparable. I still credit my affinity for languages and proficiency as a writer with this early passion for literature. This was around the same time I first wrote a story. Looking back on it now, the story was dreadful, but to my fourth grade self it was pretty fantastic. My teacher seemed impressed that I had taken the time to write detailed descriptions, and so, overlooking the convoluted and nonsensical plot, used this story to justify giving me the English award upon sixth grade graduation. By this point, I was devouring thick novels in the span of days, and with the encouragement of my parents and teachers, I was...

...An essay that explores the theoretical underpinning of a resource that relates to language development and its place in learning. In this essay I will be discussing the good old fashioned stick and how it can be used to support a child’s language development. I will be discussing the diversity of play through the stick and how this is supported by the curriculum and how it is also supported by theory. According to The National Toy Hall Of Fame, the stick may be the world’s oldest toy. Animals play with sticks; our dogs play fetch with them. Children have an endless source of make believe and fun with sticks. A child’s imagination can turn sticks into magic wands, fishing poles, swords, light sabres, majorette batons and ores for an imaginary boat and so on. Children cultivate their creativity and develop their imaginations when they pretend with sticks. Children build and walk with sticks, bat balls with them; they explore the outdoors as they search for the best one. Sticks promote free play, the freedom to invent and discover; they are the original building blocks for creative play. Playing with sticks encourages outside play which incorporates fresh air and exercise. Sticks are not only the oldest toys around they are simply the best. A stick can come in all shapes and sizes. They are not carefully made or presented like a manufactured resource. They are natural and rustic looking and that makes them appealing to children and wanting to engage with it. Like the old saying...

...It was on the Saturday night when my family usually would watch the Basketball live broadcast on the television together. I am a big fan of basketball, thanks to my beloved father who had inspired me to try to play this game. Before the game start, there was a commercial about the celebrities that had won the Oscar awards. All of us set to silent while watching them wearing beautiful garments, being welcomed by the red carpet and reporters, and millions of audiences were watching them. Suddenly, my father started to ask a random question “any of you guys wants to be like those guys on the TV”. “Why not? They have made a pretty good amount of money, and everyone knows them,” said my little brother spontaneously. “In fact you want us to be a...
