7. How to Organize Your Backpack
Sometimes there are difficult decisions to make.
Is your backpack really heavy?
Can't find that permission slip to Disneyland?
Even your cell phone, wallet, and keys should be in the pile on the
floor.
Conduct a close inspection of the inside of your backpack,
including the pockets.
Organize your huge pile of objects found in your backpack.
Was it a total mess?
We don't believe it.
All of your pencils, highlighter, pens, and pencil sharpeners shold

You've outgrown the style.

8. How to Become an Excellent Student
When a teacher is giving a lesson, take notes and if you don't
understand something, raise your hand and ask questions.
The more guestions you ask, the smarter you'll get, believe it or
not.
By passing notes and talking to friends, you won't learn anything,
so pay close attention.
Review your notes when you have free time.
Homework is to review what you have learned that day.
Take advantage of your free time.
Remember, homework can also help you develop good habits and
attitudes.
To make this easier, use color codes or label your folders.
It is advised to start studying at least a few days before a test.
Make a study schedule.
If an extracurricular activity gets in the way of your studying, tell
the person in charge off the certain event that you will not be able
to attend that event, or you will have to leane early.
Study as if you are motivated for the outcome of your hard work.
Ask a parent or older sibling to look over your notes and create a
mini-test for you three days prior to your test.
Don't lose your cool if you are stuck.
Always attempt extra credit problems and assignments. You can
improve your grade and understand the matterial better.
Rewriting notes taken in class is helpful if taking exceptionally
hard classes.
| 4 K n o w H o w [ P a r t 3 ] W o r k b o o k № 2 < < < K E Y > > >
Psycological studies have shown that people tend to forget much
of the information learned in the last ten minutes before falling
asleep.
Highlight the explanation of difficult concepts and ask questions
when you have doubts.
Like all exceptionally great students, you must pay attention.
Teachers give you homework for a reason.
Always do what is asked of you.
Staying organized at school is extremely important.
By reading challenging and difficult books, you can expand your
vocabulary.
Study before the night of your test.
Use of mind maps can be helpful for understanding hard topics.
In fact, you should eat healthily all the time, because it will help
your mind.
You can make a mind map to help with revising before any exam or
test.
=For the student=, school can be one of the most difficult things
=to deal with=.
Learn how to study and =get along with= your peers will make the
whole experience that much easier.
Take some time =to write some problems up=, or you couls ask
someone =to write them for you=.
Just remember, it doesn't hurt =to go over= what you have learned.
Do yor homework =on the way home= from school and =in any

9. How to Write a Friendly Letter
Texting and instant messaging are common ways of
communicating these days.
Writing a letter is a traditional, effective way of bringing a smile to
someone's face.
Whether you write a letter using email or mail it the old-fashioned
way, the form is the same.
A friendly letter should include a salutation, inquiries about your
friend, news about your life and an appropriate closing.
Write out the date or abbreviate it using only numbers indicating
the month, day and year.
The beginning of a letter, whether it's handwritten or in the form of
an email, is called salutation.
Think about the nature of your relationship with the letter
recipient, as well as your preferences and style, and choose your
greeting accordingly.
| 6 K n o w H o w [ P a r t 3 ] W o r k b o o k № 2 < < < K E Y > > >
"Dear" is as appropriate for a letter to your best friend as it is for a
letter to an acquaintance you just met.
For a letter that is more casual in tone, consider beginning it with
"Hi, [name] or "Hello, [name]."
The first paragraph of a friendly letter is usually warm and
lighthearted.
If you'd like a reply to your letter, feel free to pepper it with
questions throughout.
Referencing the time of year is another common letter opening.
Be forthright, open, and articulate to communicate your message
effectively.
Tell what events have occured, what emotions you've felt, and
what plans you have for the future.
Don't create an airbrush picture of your life; that defeats the
purpose of a friendly letter.
Avoid a holiday newsletter-style update; your friend will start
skimming to the bottom if you list everything you've accomplished
since your last letter.
Reiterate the purpose of the letter and encourage your friend to
write back.
PS is a way to add information that isn't important enough to merit
its own paragraph in the body of the letter.
Many people save letters for years to come.
They like to be able to see what day and year it was to reminisce
about earlier times.
Be sure to end your greeting with a comma.
| 7 K n o w H o w [ P a r t 3 ] W o r k b o o k № 2 < < < K E Y > > >
It is also formally correct to begin the body of the letter on the next
line.
Asking a question helps make the letter feel like part of a longer
conversation.
The trees in my neighborhood are more brilliant than they have
ever been before.
In any case, make sure it matches your letter's tone.
Check your letter for spelling errors before you mail it.
That's where you address the person to whom you're writing by
name.
Think of it as the equivalent to making small talk before you launch
into a deeper conversation.
11. The Language of Maps Kids Should Know
I still love exploring maps, and believe kids need to learn map
skills, and develope their geography awareness.
Kids not only can learn to read maps, but to recognize their
components and build their own maps.
General knowledge of a man is known by his knowledge of science
terms and concepts and the ability to use them properly.
Absolute Location describes the exact position of a point using
latitude and longitude.
Relative Location finds the location of a place using other
surrounding places or cardinal directions.
Equator is an imaginary line around the globe, equally dividing the
earth into the northern and southern hemisphere.
| 8 K n o w H o w [ P a r t 3 ] W o r k b o o k № 2 < < < K E Y > > >
Globe is a spherical representation of the earth.
Hemisphere is half of the earth, either divided into northern and
southern divided by the equator, or eastern and western divided
by a meridian.
Intermediate directions are the points that fall between the
cardinal directions: Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, and
Northwest.
Meridian is an imaginary, longitude line running from North Pole to
South Pole.
The Prime Meridian runs through Greenwich, England.
Tropic of Cancer is the circle of latitude on the Earth that marks
the most northerly position at which the Sun may appear directly
overhead, at the June solstice.
Tropic of Capricorn is the circle of latitude on the Earth that marks
the most southerly latitude at which the Sun may appear directly
overhead, at the December solstice.
12. The House of My Dreams
It's a place where you feel comfort, warmth and reliability.
It awakens the best feelings and high emotions in our souls.
It goes without saying that nowadays there are a lot of tipes of
dwellings.
For instance some people prefer semi-detached houses or
duplexes.
Such houses attract them because they are less expensive than
mansions or bungalow, for example.
| 9 K n o w H o w [ P a r t 3 ] W o r k b o o k № 2 < < < K E Y > > >
When you have your own land you can grow fruits and vegetables,
make flowerbeds and plant various beautiful flowers that will warm
your heart.
You can also build some outhouses like a green-house, a garage, a
tool shed, an arbour.
All of us have our own ideas and dreams about a perfect home.
"Home" can't mean the same to everybody.
But I'm sure that for all people home is not just a place to live in.
What an ideal home is everybody decides for himself.
Home is your little world where you live according to your own
rules and interests.
Most people want to have calm and measured rhythm of life.
People, who prefer these types of dwelling, keep the poultry and
the cattle.
