2 Methods of Taking notesHelp your child to find a method of note-taking that works for her. There are a number of different note-taking methods:

The two-column method
This is a valuable study tool when taking notes or preparing for tests. Here is how to use the two-column method:

  • Divide notebook paper into two columns, the left column taking up one-third of the page, and the right column two-thirds of the page.
  • Note main ideas or key words in the left column and details in the right column.
  • Leave extra space in the right “detail” column for later notes and review.
  • When studying for a test, cover the right column to check your knowledge and understanding of details, or the left column to quiz yourself on main ideas or key words.

Outlining
This method is especially useful for taking notes in class and when reviewing and organizing information for papers and reports.

  • Note main ideas and supporting details with indents to show the levels of information.
  • Use Roman numerals, letters, and numbers to make the different levels of information more visible.

the privilege of living alone

My closest friend is now preparing to move to his newly rented apartment. The place is not as big as his parents’ house, but it will give him the privilege of being independent. For years, he has been seeking ways to exit his parents’ house without hurting their feelings. It’s really difficult to do that especially when the parents are not ready to let their kids go even in their adulthood. But, for now he is so happy and excited to move out.

I got the privilege to visit the place with him since he considers me as his best friend or closest friend. The place looks okay, but doesn’t have any partitions. It looks like a plain box that doesn’t have a room. So, he is planning to talk to the lessor for the renovation.

the privilege of living aloneHe doesn’t need to if he opts to use Pressurized Walls. It’s a temporary wall that is commonly used in New York City apartments. There are several New York companies that offer these walls just like CityWallNY with toll-free number 1-877-225-2239 for example.

The good thing about these walls is that it doesn’t need additional fasteners or adhesives to add stability to the frame work. It only used screws are used on the studs to avoid structural or architectural damage. Aside from that it is easier to install and dismantle any time he wants. And, it is not as costly as traditional renovation.

I hope my friend will be able to get this kind of service here. I think his in the process of searching for a company that can solve his problem.

wiffy interested with books?

wiffy interested with booksI am not pretty sure why wiffy suddenly became so interested with books. For one year of being together, I haven’t seen her reading any book. And, now out of nowhere she just wants to buy as many books as she can. It’s not a bad thing. It’s actually a good one because it enhances vocabulary and the ability to comprehend and understand all types of information.

She said that she must start reading all kinds of books if she wants to succeed. Like exercise, she must have determination to make reading a part of her daily routine since she wants to acquire all the benefits of reading for her to become confident to succeed in life. I support her for that.

dishwasher saves water?

dishwasher saves waterDo you believe your dishwasher saves water? Trust me! If you only run it when it’s full, it does. Try to use appliances like washers and dryers when they’re completely loaded to avoid wasting energy and water. Believe it. Fill them up – just don’t pack in too much or your stuff might not get fully cleaned, and nobody wants to run the washer twice for the same load.

Benefits will be credulous resource savings. Your clothes washer’s going to use the same amount of energy and H2O whether you throw in one short or 20; if you run it only when it’s filled, you’ll conserve more than 3,400 gallons of water per year. This is a no lie: You’ll save cash. Only running the dishwasher when comfortably packed saves you about $40 a year.

problem with expenses

problem with expensesDue to the many expenses we incurred this month, we literally run out of money. I don’t regret since for the first time in my life, I was able to buy appliances for my own. Don’t get me wrong this is the first time; I live outside my parents control.

I enjoyed the shopping experience and I love the look of our apartment. I can watch television, drink cold water and so much more. But, it costs me big time. Now I have to pawn my watch just to make both ends.

It felt a bit frustrating. This will be the first time my watch will experience being in a cold place with guards. Actually, it’s been in a cold place that is why it’s not functioning accordingly. I still have to put it under the sun for a long time for solar power.

But, the gloomy feeling vanished immediately as the next day my sister arrived. I actually mentioned that she gave me a watch. Although I have a new watch, I am still planning to buy few replica watches. I basically know that I can’t afford the original Rolex, Omega, Chopard and so much more. So, why settle for that when I can buy it at an affordable price. It still looks the same; the difference is that I won’t have to break my life savings account. I can’t wait to get the right one.

all I can do for him

all I can do for himWhen my friends ask for favors I seldom say no for an answer. Of course, there is limit to what extent they can get a yes from me. Well, the latest one asks if I could recommend a store that sells pond supplies. Thank goodness I am an online buddy, I can always search for things that I need. I don’t have any ponds at all that is why I don’t bother to know these things until now. I did not let him wait for a long time. I immediately send him the site URL where he can buy those products. He must be the one to do the transactions. Getting him the site is all I can do for him nothing more aside from that.
