A diary of a computer mouse

A mouse is one of the important equipment of a comuter. It helps go process of working easily and fast. Especially It can be easy with the mouse when you work with the programs, such as WORD, Paint, Excel. Nowadays, modern comuters have laser mouses. 
 One of the comuter skills classes we talked about mouse and toch screen. We discussed about their adventages ans dis adventages. It goes without saying that mouse doesn`t work so fast as touch screen. But touch screen cannot work for a long time, and a screen can be scretched easily.

The language of study

    Studying in the IELTE is not very easy. IELTE accepts the students who passed the exam. IELTE has its own campus. The teachers are very strick that demand students to obey the rules and to study hard.
    Students listen to a lecturer take notes during the lecture and according to their learning a subject they are given a mark or a grade in the seminar.
   At some classes students often write essays and teachers require them to type up essays and to hand in them till the deadline. But freshman-year students don`t write a dissertation or a thesis.
   Students get a scholarship as a funding. After graduating University course, students get a degree in their subject.

Preparing for and Taking IELTE tests

    Preparing for and taking tests require students big attention . It  will be easy to recall information if we use diagrams , such as Venn diagram , the tree diagram and the hierarchical diagram .
   I think , we should avoid cramming  and we should follow the Golden 24 – Hour Rule. It is said , “do not attempt to learn any new subject on which you will be tested during the  24 hours prior to the test ” .
    According to that rule , in the 24 hours prior to the test , we should try to review  all the material we’ve covered .
    During taking test we can use the triage method . According to this method we divide the questions into 3 groups : 1st do probables , 2nd do possible , 3rd do long shots .
    On multiple – choice tests , in the 1st place you must understand the question , then pay attention on the meaning and context of the information .
    In the end , leave time as much as possible in order to recheck your answers .

My learning style

   There are 3 types of learning style:
   The first is a auditory learning style. This type includes the learners who learn best by teacher`s lecture and class discussions.
   The second one is visual learning style . Visual learners learn the subject best when they work with diagrams and pictures . It’s easy them to learn best when information is presented in written language format. I belong to this style . In fact , I learn better by reading rather than listening to something.
    The third learning style is Tactile / Kinesthetic . Learners belong to this learn best when they have an actual object in their hands .

The features of my Concentration

    Concentration is considered to be the first important step in study. Without it we cannot achieve our goals.
    Some people listen quiet music and relax. After that they can easily concentrate on their work. But there are distractions, that cause difficulties to concentrate. They are external and internal distractions. In order to concentrate easily you should plan everything: how to study, the length of study period . 
    First, you should create  a study environment as the first step for concentrating. Put everything away the table that can distract you.
    Second, you should know when to study. Find time when you can study and remember better.
    As for me, I follow these rules. For my concentration, it`s better if there is not anyone near me. And it is not awful if there is somebody, but they shouldn`t talk to me.

My goals and objectives

Everybody have their own goals and objectives . They attempt to achieve them. 6 month ago I visit my sister and there I saw she had bought a new microwave oven. Since that I began to save money from my salary. This weekend I`m planning to go to the shop and to buy a microwave oven. I gathered 100 dollars and I`m sure I find a good one for this money. Because my sister said she had bought it for 80 dollars. She advised me to go to the “ Technical Hands” shop. Because this shop has a discount.
Finally, I will achieve my goal.

Time management

   Time management is to divide up your time truely  in order to manage everything. Every work need a plan. That`s why at the beginning you should make a daily or a weekly calendar. It helps you divide up your work over the weeks, so you don`t have to do too much in any one week. 
   The steps of the academic process for managing your time: 
  - selecting a topic 
  - gathering information 
  - organizing the information 
  - editing or correcting 
  - preparing the final report  ect. 
   Do everything in time, so you don`t have to push all the work to the last moment.
