Voting Question: How can I speak english in a way that everyone can get my point and understand it?
Im a Filipino and Filipinos don't speak English.I'm 14 years old and my father get a job in Qatar.My dad enrolled me into this school which is an international school and everyone speaks English. Its curriculum was British so the staffs and faculties expect the students to speak english. Im in year 9 and most of the teachers comment about me is that I need to speak English because I hardly talk in a class. I'm afraid that the teacher won't understand me and the class will laugh at me. I just moved here 6 months ago and still I'm not that good in communicating with my classmates and teachers. Even though I know the answer, I can't raise my hand because I might say sentences that are in wrong grammar. Please I need your advices. My teachers in Year 9 told me that If I'm just that active in class discussions they can put me in set 1. The results in my SATs are kind of good. I'm in set 2 in all subjects.

Hi friends! I’m from Spain. I wrote a response to my British friend. As you know, the automatic translators are useful but never as good as the advice of a native speaker. I respect your language enough that maybe you could copy and paste this message and help me correct my grammar and style mistakes. (You can make the corrections using capitals). Please make it sound more grammatical and fluent. Thank you. "I love to hear you sound so happy! Yes, everything does go by too fast. I remember when I was your age as if it were yesterday, and yet nine years have gone by since then. When I finished school, I faced the same challenge. I liked writing as well, but I couldn't decide on my career. The worst thing you can do at this moment is panic. And I panicked by enrolling in Philology (Letras) in the University of Buenos Aires - I panicked because I wasn’t decided. The choice was interesting, with excellent professors, but after two years of study I realised that it wasn't what I expected. I spent a year without studying this subject until I finished my career in Humanities, which has no specificity, but it's a series of studies related to literature, psychology, art, philosophy, science, etc. It's a very comprehensive training course that focuses on the field that most interests you through postgraduate studies. I want you to know my opinion. If your plans are to study at a university, there is, in your beautiful city, one of the best universities in the world, or maybe the best: the University of Oxford. And my opinion is well founded, I have met professors who studied there. Daniel Dawson, my ex professor of Universal Literature, was the caricature of the English gentleman: perfect hairstyle, striped vest, bowler hat, watch chain. His classes were a pleasure, as well as hearing him talking in Spanish. He was one of the best professors I’ve ever known and he has greatly influenced in me. I want you to know my opinion.

His classes were a pleasure, as well as hearing him talking in Spanish. He was one of the best teachers I have ever known. Many people all over the world dream of going to that university. Within the division of Humanities, is the Faculty of English and Literature. When you have time, visit the university. Walks the halls, the library, try to talk to someone. I'm sure that they'll be happy to speak with such an adorable young man. Actually, people never have anything to do at the universities... Try to imagine if you’d like to study four or five years there. But the most important thing to do is to examine the curriculum, each subject, from your own taste. Try to do all this during the next year. If you can, attend a class to see what your previous experience is. You should consider studying a career *only* if you really feel that you like what a certain institution offers. Never go down a career path if you're not quite convinced that it's right. Never study a career just to please your parents, or for prestige or because society establishes it as law. I'd be extremely happy if this was truly your desire but, as an academic, I should however also stress that university is not the only alternative, especially if you want to be a writer. This is because most writers tend to distance themselves from systematic instruction. However, while the creativity and talent of an author are hardly transferable, it is feasible to learn the techniques that writers use to produce a text. There are many workshops that offer a set of tools to enrich the literary work; to guide the writer and to discover those methods that he may have never discovered alone or only after many setbacks. Moreover, within the field of writing, guidelines are immense and, if you want to write scripts for movies, then you should look to the film world. A film career may also be an ideal option for you. You'd like these careers and they have lots of guidance. You can choose an orientation in scriptwriting. Also, these courses often combine academic training with lots of practice. In universities, although they may offer workshops, the knowledge is more theoretical and it doesn't focus on the student; it's less personal. However, I don't know film schools in your country... I think you are calling for this, sir. Combining your own writing with another language, as the digital art that involves photography and video. It is an interesting option, what do you think? I’m sorry for my word expansion. xxx" moreResolved Question: English speakers: could you correct this message? It’s really important. Thanks?

Yes Dan, I do agree with you: Latin is boring, but it is also unnecessary in the GCSE curriculum. Maybe it could be useful for a certain career (a specialization in grammar, for example). What happens schools? We are in the Twenty-First Century; Latin hasn’t been the language of the Empire for a long time! Until the Eighteenth Century, Latin was something similar to what the English is today. However, not everyone had the same access to Latin, because it was the language of culture and educated elites. The treaties of science and politics had should be written in this language. If a British scholar wanted to communicate something to the world, he should write a book in Latin. Francis Bacon wrote his ' Novum Organum’ in Latin… Today, the language that you must to learn to communicate with the globe is your mother tongue (you’re a lucky person). However, if I want to communicate with the world I must learn English - as Bacon had to learn Latin (I'm not comparing myself with Bacon, but I always wanted to have his hat...) I think these subjects have only just survived, and are a real drag nowadays, traditions which no one dares to stop. They should update the school curriculum. They should replace it with relevant and applicable content. Anyway, Latin should take an important place in the study of the history of the English Language. English belongs to the Anglo-Frisian group within the family of Germanic languages. This means that its grammatical structure isn't derived from Latin (unlike Spanish or Italian). However, if you study the history of your language, you’ll see that English has been influenced by Latin in two stages: 1)by contact with the Roman Empire, 2) with the arrival and the evangelization by St. Augustine, during the Middle Ages. There are many suffixes and words which are derived from Latin: sensi(bilis) --> sensi(ble); viol(entia) --> viol(ence); cre(at)um --> cre(ate). This may be relevant for those who want to learn the history of the English language. It's not at all necessary for anyone to learn Latin, unless you want to become Pope or be a Philologist. Latin is a dead language, but apparently they haven't yet buried it. It's a kind of zombie language. Maybe you could meet with some friends and write a letter together to the directors. What the school teaches is not a sacred truth; you have the right to question it. Maybe they’ll listen to your proposal and (hopefully) the next year the Latin could become an elective discipline. Okay, that’s all I have to say! I hope to read more posts from you often. xxx" moreResolved Question: Further Studying: So Confused!!!?
I'm confused about what to do next year. I really want to become a primary school teacher and so the best course to take at university is Primary Education. I didnt know I wanted to do this when first starting sixth form and so didnt take a curriculum subject (English, Maths or Science) needed to be accepted for the course. I have instead opted for the course Educational Studies with ICT which can be linked with Primary teaching but not as directly as the preferred course. I have been accepted for this course at my local university. The thing is I'm unsure what to do. Should I take this course even though it wasn't my first choice, or should I take a year out before going to uni where I can study a curriculum subject part time and can also get a part time job. Is it worth taking the extra year out to be able to then go on to study the better course?

LONDON: Worried that your kids are spending most of their time Facebooking instead of doing their homework? Well, then here's the solution. UK has decided to introduce a radical shake-up in the school curriculum, in which kids will be taught 'life skills' including how to chat to pals on social networking sites and write blogs. The new lessons are the brainchild of former Ofsted chief inspector of schools Jim Rose, who is planning the biggest overhaul in education in 20 years. As part of the curriculum, kids will learn 'speaking skills', money management, and internet use. Creating Facebook and other social networking website pages in GCSE subjects such as computer science will contribute to students' coursework grades. moreResolved Question: 'PGCE Secondary Science Interview' heelp ;O?
I have an interview for a PGCE in secondary science next week. I am required to give a 5 minute presentation, I am only allowed to use a flip chart/visual aid/overhead projector/CD player, either all of them or just one. They want to see the notes I make for the presentation. (Im allowed to bring prepared resources and artefacts also). The presentation should focus on a key idea thats relevant to the National Curriculum in secondary Chemistry or Biology. I have to also explain why I thought the topic I've chosen would be of interest to my audience of non-specialists in my subject area (secondary chemistry/biology) and finally I will be asked questions regarding the topic chosen. The topic I have chosen to do my presentation on is the periodic table, I want to talk about the different groups/periods in the periodic table, and the arrangement of the elements, also I was thinking of taking in a crossword puzzle where the pupils would have to fill in the blank spaces from questions about the periodic table.... But I feel I should be talking about a topic with more versatility, perhaps with the opportunity for questions and answers :s I am quite confused and would really appreciate any tips/help on any other topics I could base my presentation on.. P.S. Any tips on how I could demonstrate good communication skills in the group interview/presentation would also be much appreciated and valued!

To name a few: Far From The Madding Crowd, Of Mice and Men, Lord Of The Flies and stuff by Jane Austen and other books by Thomas Hardy. It seems that in most cases, no one really appreciates works of writing until the author is dead and buried and also why are almost all the books I relate with literature all in the social, society genre. I can't think of any Science Fiction or Fantasy. So, anyone know the reasons why only the most boring books are chosen for the educational curriculum? Don't get me wrong. I read a lot. I have read Harry Potter and it's a bit overrated. Not as over rated as that stupid Twilight though. ^^ I have done that many a times. Teachers can be annoying. Well...why not have a bit more varied tastes when choosing books for the curriculum? If reading dull books is what it means to have an appreciation of literature that I am afraid that I don't want one - thanks. moreResolved Question: Is this even persuasive writing? does it persuade you?
I am supposed to write a letter to my headmaster about changing school's curriculum : Have you ever thought of changing the schools curriculum in order to make the students to be successful and happy? The school feel that if we make some changes, it is going to be a huge success, have happy students and the school is going to have a good reputation. This means that it will benefit greatly. Firstly, one thing that is going to be important for later on in life. It is very useful is adding a new lesson; this will learn the students new life skills from first aid to camping to survive in this world. It will no only learn students new skills , which we need but also to learn us to be dependent. This is priorarty to the students and we deserve to learn those things. Although other subjects are very important to learn and will take us far in life, but this will be an interesting session and will help the students in other subjects as well as trips/holidays. This will put the students confidence to the best. Many times have students felt scared or don't know what to do in any situation and puts their life in danger. We will therefore need this lesson and will help in every day life. Secondly, in order to raise the studnets confident even more is by learning other kinds of skills; job skills. If we start work experience earlier, the students will know what skills are needed in any situation for any particular job. It is very essential! By starting earlier students will get the chance by working in different work-places and eventually, they will know what they want to study in and work later on. Although this is very important, students to need to concentrate on the important lessons such as English, Science and maths. Furthermore students might be too young to start working and will be more useful if we wait when we are able to work. Thirdly, we have all noticed that the musical instruments; they are either broken or doesn't work properly, it is clearly that we need to buy new instruments to give the students the chance to revise/learn a musical piece.This is very essential for the GCSE's students as they are working really hard to achieve their target grade. We would also need to have more musical lesson to those students who wants to try a new insturment or continue from where they left it from. If we add more musical lessons it will also put youngsters and teenagers out of the streets comitting crimes; this can cause problems and will not create a good reputation to the school. On the other side, we could spend the money on buying new equipments such as educational books, computers or other essential things, but we also need to think of the music department that needs changes too. In conclusion, by changing the school's curriculum, not only will the students be happy but they will also have a great level of confidence in any situation and be successful in life. Furthemore, we will be a great role models for the new year sevens. I will be looking forward to work with you and to hear your oppinions! Yours sincerely ...... ...

without a Science GCSE. I know it seems a silly question because part of the curriculum is Science but I really don't fancy re-sitting a Science GCSE at 19/20! moreResolved Question: Physics help!!!easy question!?
Well, Im in grade 11, following the british GCSE curriculum. Next year I have the choice of doing physics. I am very good at maths(even though i dont practise :) ). My teachers told me that grade 12 physics(As level) is quite hard. Do you think I should carry on doing physics? I get A*(90-100%) in physics always. Does it involve very hard calculations? Plus, he told me that the difficulty level of grade 12 physics is significantly greater! Anyone here, who is doing AS or A level Physics? MY subject choice for next year is mathematics,physics,business studies and Accounting(we choose 4 subjects). Am planning to do actuarial science later on. Or any business related course. One more ques =D, is the subject choice good for my carrer plan? moreResolved Question: UK teens notched up record GCSE results, with 20% of exams awarded top grades:see strategic studies 2 do next?
Britain's teenagers notched up record GCSE results, with one in five exams awarded top grades. Overall 20.7% of grades were at A+ or A, an increase of 1.2 percentage points on last year. More than 65.7% were at grades A+ to C, up from 63.3% last year. The rises come despite the number of entries dipping to a five-year low. There were more than 5.6 million entries this summer compared with 5.8 million in 2007. The Joint Council for Qualifications, who released the national GCSE results, said this was due to a decrease in the number of 16-year-olds and evidence of pupils being entered early for GCSE English and maths. There was a massive slump in the numbers of pupils taking information technology - with entries down by more than 14,000. Modern languages also took another hit, with French and German both suffering drops in entries. French was down by 6.8% on last year while German fell by 5.4%. There was also movement in science entries, which officials put down to changes to the science curriculum. This year the science double award has been abolished and replaced by two separate qualifications, science and additional science. The results showed that fewer candidates were taking additional science than previously took the double award. But there were increased entries in the separate sciences, with biology up by 35.3%, chemistry up 29.4% and physics up 29.1%. Jim Sinclair, director of the JCQ, said: "Once again, we have seen a welcome increase in results at GCSE despite the lowest entry for five years. This is evidence of the hard work of the students and the continued dedication of their teachers My sales training hones me in on the most strategic gaps in the market: would you agree that it could be worthwhile doing 'Net study in IT & EU languages?

E-mail this to a friend Big jump in top GCSE exam grades The results trend in recent years There has been the biggest annual rise since 1990 in the proportion of GCSE exam entries awarded the best grades. This year 65.7% of the exams taken were awarded A* to C grades, a rise of 2.4 percentage points from 63.3% last year, the exam boards reported. As hundreds of thousands of teenagers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland received their results, the pass rate rose again, to 98.4%. More than a fifth - 20.7% - were awarded either A* or A grades. The number of entries fell to a five-year low of 5.7 million entries this summer compared with 5.8 million in 2007, down 2.7%. GCSE RESULTS SUMMER '08 Overall pass rate 98.4% Overall A*-C grades: 65.5% Northern Ireland A*-C: 74.5% England A*-C: 65.5% Wales A*-C: 65.0% Source: JCQ The provisional statistics were published by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ), which said >> Spot on, Dun - good ol' Aunty Beeb:- The provisional statistics were published by the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ), which said the decline was bigger than would be expected from the drop in the number of 16-year-olds in the population. The director general of the AQA exam board, Dr Mike Cresswell, said: "Some young people are focusing their efforts on fewer GCSEs. "That has been a trend that has been happening since 2003." He said the average number of GCSEs taken per student had fallen from just over eight in 2003 to just under eight this year. Another factor was that more students had taken English and maths exams early, in November, and these were not included in these summer results. National and regional variations As usual entries from Northern Ireland outperformed the rest. There, 26.4% were awarded A* or A grades and 74.5% A* to C. In England, 20.6% achieved A*/A and 65.5% A* to C. In Wales the figures were 18.9% and 65% Cymru am bith OK My main question is, in this multi-media age, in such a cold, wet, windy summer, have you found joy in studying whoever, whatever & wherever grabs you these past 6 weeks or so?

Hundreds of thousands of students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will receive their GCSE exam results today. How important is it to pass these exams? Experts are predicting another record year for results, with possibly one in five pupils achieving A star or A grades. These are the first set of results to be published since the poorest performing schools in England were told they must improve or face possible closure. Dr John Dunford, General Secretary of the Association of School and College leaders, said there is too much pressure on pupils as well as on schools to do well. "It takes time to turn a school round", he said. Have you received your GCSE results today? How important is it for children to pass exams? Are you worried about your child's GCSE results?

I am hoping to persuade my mum to homeschool me but the way it will work is that I have to be able to be given work from her and do it on my own without help from her because I will be in another house to her. My nan isn't too good at modern mathematics and such, because she was taught differently and different things but she can teach me about history and geography and stuff. Some things that are just facts and such I can teach myself but Maths and Science are two of my weaker points. I am still in top sets for both, but I just don't understand algebra and stuff which can frustrate me so I don't think I could do that without help so I would have to ask my mum to show me that during the evenings or whatever but are there any good books to help with that with exercises and stuff in that aren't for revision, but for actual learning? Also, and good books for other subjects? Not websites though, unless they are free or sell books in the UK. Thank you. =] moreResolved Question: Child of nearly 8 is on the gifted and talented register, would it be best to send to private school?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creation_and_evolution_in_public_education#United_Kingdom here in the UK we keep religion in its own seperate subject, and as far away from the science classroom as possible. creationism may not be taght in RE, but it is recomended as further reading for exceeding students (in my school at least). hell, even the archbishop of cantebury doesnt want creationism in schools! so why dont the states take the hint and keep everyone happy by putting RE/RS into their curriculum and creationism out of the science classroom? it would be partly a compromise, but it would keep everybody happy over there. well, thats just my thoughts as a atheist. you lot? jonny, hes a protestant foo answer man: your a stubborn jackass, yknow that? monkey man: im 15 and im in england. i know all we ever do is christianity and islam, but doesnt it beat having some idiot telling a qualified science teacher how to do there job? and its not complsary, parents can have children taken out of said classes if wished. moreResolved Question: can anyone suggest some simple pre-school science projects i can do with my three to six year olds?

What are your thoughts on the new schooling curriculum? Do you think that it should be up to teachers to decide what your child learns in school? Not all kids are going to be brilliant in Maths what if your kids school decides to concentrate more on Science and leave geography and history out?? I think its a good idea they teach the kids about how to manage their money but history is important 2. We should know who we are where we came from, who Mozart and Shakespear was. I would not want my kids education to depend on the teachers fews, it should be standard, we all had some subjects in school that we found boring, but some things you use today without even knowing that you are. moreResolved Question: How can I best prepare my daughter for an exam next week?

What do you want from your Government? I am starting to ask myself the question, who am I going to vote for at the next general election? And I now realise that I have a real problem. There is no creditable party now that represent my view point and all I can see is negatives with all of them. Am I the only one? Here is a list of the main policies that I want to see from the next government. Please post any that you wish to see. It will be interesting to see where we stand. Reduced taxation. I hate this Tax and Spend method of the current government and the cynical approach of stealth taxes. Does he think we are all stupid? Cost of fuel. Cost to be frozen at around 90p PL unleaded (adjusted for inflation). a)Permanent freeze on fuel duty. b)Reducing scale linked to the price of Oil. Environment. Why does Britain always need to take the lead, set the examples, pay the price? I am sick of it. If this is such an important issue then take real action that will make a difference. Not just headline grabbing knee jerk reactions that will end up costing the population more in TAX. a)Reopen the debate and make it clear what are the known facts and what is liberal fiction based on undisputable science. b)If the issue is indeed real, tackle it in the most effective way. Commit to Nuclear power! Crime. If you do the crime, you do the time. a)If we need more prisons? Build them. b)Abolish community orders, ASBO’s and the like. It’s either a fine or prison. c)Abolish community support officers. Spend the money on real police. NHS. It’s broken, it can’t be fixed in today’s political correct liberal world and now it is actually seriously DANGEROUS to be a patient on a general ward. Abolish it and divert the funding into private health care for those on low incomes. Education. Abolish most of the politically correct social agendas inserted into then national curriculum over the last 30 years. Focus valuable teaching time and recourses in the important areas: Reading, Witting, Mathematics, IT, etc. Turn the clock back 50 years and let that be the bench mark. Europe. I am split on this one – LOL. It has many benefits for industry and business but also huge downsides to freedom and democracy. What would the economic impact be on jobs and the economy be if we withdrew completely? I just don’t know. moreResolved Question: Psychiatrist as a career after 6th form?
