...What i think is the bad influence of the old corrupted Politics practice made these University Students protesting the current emergency state of Bangladesh. I should request to the authorities to think about Banning the Student Politics in Bangladesh for next few years. The old fashion Student Politics Practice could be the main seed of facing the corrupted Politicians in future. There are 3 types of Student in any University or College: * A type: Career Oriented (focused only in study and career issues) * B type: Mid-type Student (they needs proper guidance about their career) * C type: Politics Oriented Students (who always prefer the Politics Involvement rather then Career) In usual scenario we loosed the fame and name of Dhaka University just for the reason of our Bad Political Practice which was practiced by the C Type students. And sometimes B type students were the ultimate victim of the Fight of C Type Students and Security Forces in different Protests. From my past experience B type students gets the influence or sometimes forced to support the C Type students. Which makes the ratio of protesting supporters increases than the usual ratio of C type students. Then the conflict seems more strong and bold to different media. Even the media influences in any activities needs to be monitored cause a Public focus is very much influencing for those C type students. Sometimes you will see only to show their face in medias for different protest or awareness...

...Fu Crew People dress differently depending on culture and life style. In this story, the author is trying to say, people adopt new things and quit old ones but people do not really change. A guy who grew up in a ghetto town and member of the kung fu crew used to dress a little strange and had long hair. He went to a college and identified as a punk and a nerd because of his kung fu style. But in college, kung fu crew students were not the only ones dressed strange. There were immigrant students who had uncombed hair and crooked teeth. There were also punks with highlighted hair who cut school. Over the years, students were changing their old style into the new style. They were changing their hair style, clothes, even food. The kung fu crew student, who changed his life style and lived far away from Chinatown, did not change his feelings about home. And his friends always belonged to the small ghetto Chinatown. Occasionally, I follow fashion trends but I have my own style. I usually dress the way I want to. Style usually provides teenagers a sense of identity by signaling which group they belong to: punk, gang, and other ones. Students used to compete with their grades when I was in school. Because schools provided uniforms for all students, it made everybody equal. Right now, most high school and college student are obsessed about new styles and compete with each other even though it does not suit...

...useful especially to the students. Technology invented gadgets like computers and laptops that students can use in their studies. These gadgets changed how students learn, process and obtain new or old information. These can also use when it comes to finishing their task and completing their school works because students can freely visit many educational websites.

...Jamie McDowell October 27, 2015 “Loving yourself inside and out” Maleeka Madison, an eleven year old, in the seventh grade was having problems with students making fun of her. Not being appealing enough to her peers with very dark skin and homemade clothes was the start of her troubles. Very smart, however, being made fun of distracted her from her work. Other’s words helped develop her insecurities and low self-esteem which made her not see anything good about herself. Often feeling alone when with people, she was isolated to herself. The detachment of her favorite person in the world, her father, was the worst of all her problems. The person who was always there, always ready to talk, and always checking up on her: Gone! Do you know who Maleeka reminds me of? She reminds me of myself. Getting called ugly by my peers, although not because of my facial features, but because of my attire and the fact my hair was never done was the start of me being a target by other students in the poor, urban middle school I went to; only having one floor and two long hallways. Always wearing two matted puffy pony tails classified me as ugly. Now don’t get me wrong I didn’t always get defensive nor did I get upset, some of things said were funny. Bullying at times could be exaggerated, although there were serious bulling situations. Nevertheless, not always a person is trying to hurt you by telling you what you look like or how they feel about you. However, in Main Street Middle school...

...A Digital Age of Education The classroom is the idyllic staple of what education has been for the past hundred years, yet a time is coming where modern technology finally has the potential to replace and supersede the old and ineffective practices of the past. In this day and age we have the all encompassing interlinked system of the internet We schedule our days, navigate through them, and put our trust in the future through the internet. Is it not only natural that we would find a way to use the internet as a tool in bettering ourselves and educating our students. The methodology used in this new digital frontier of education has surpassed the old stagnating lecture hall style of education with a more efficient and fiscally responsible programs and has brought about a new and important way of learning. While the lecture format of education has proven effective in educating the mass populace, it only could succeed in the format of the group and not the individual. When we think about the ideal form of education, it’s not very difficult to imagine Aristotle tutoring Alexander The Great in ancient Macedonia, the legendary teacher guiding his discussions perfectly to mold and shape Alexander into what he would someday become. This kind of one on one teaching can be considered to be the most perfect style of education, yet it fails for three specific reasons. Firstly, there aren’t enough humans in the world to individually tutor every child born. Secondly, It would be wildly...

...typically from 8–11 all ages but typically ages 9–12 The exam experience For many young children, a Cambridge ESOL YLE Test may be their first experience of doing an exam. It is possibly the first time they have had to travel to a different venue to sit a test. They might be emotional and distracted by unfamiliar surroundings. In some cases, it is even a big day out together with a trip to the city on the bus or train. If we give our students lots of practice, they will feel confident about what is expected of them in the test, and what they will have to do. In addition to preparing for task types, these four practice tests utilise language – both grammatical structures and vocabulary – that is in the ESOL Flyers syllabus. This book consolidates the language with Flyers-style usage. As young learners need constant recycling of the language studied, there are some additional activities outlined below that can consolidate language from the course and help prepare for the tests. Many courses present and practise language topic by topic. Here students will find the themes and language structures mixed together and find they need to jump from one to another in their...
