Exam Tips

Try to avoid alcohol the night before an exam, especially in quantity, as a bad hangover is among the very worst things to be suffering from in an exam room.


Look at old exam papers to familiarise yourself with the type of questions that may arise. This is so you can preapre properly.

Practise meditation to help u concentrate and not get carried away with the pressure that the exam puts on you.

I thought it was a job source because it was from a university.

Fantasy and Science Fiction

I think boys enjoy the science fiction and fantasy books more than other books because firstly it gives the guys some excitement, something to catch their attention. Then guys don't like boring stuff so they want someone that is outrages and something that gets the adrenalin pumping.
This relates to me, I don't like boring books but i do like some stories that are based on real life as long as their is something interesting.
I can't say anything about other guys that I know because i have never really talked about reading with them before.
Well the only books I like that are non fiction are books about the war, my grandfather went and it interests me but other than that I like adventure books with guns and murders and stuff that is interesting.

Poetry

Peorty has been around for a long time cos there are many artistic people in the world and peotry has been made into different things such as movies and songs so it is being used in different ideas and ideas that people will actually like. The most popular forms of peotry are songs, it teaches us a lot about our lives because other people describe their lives to us in ways they never before could. I like peotry that comes easily to me and is easy to understand, the peom I know about is David Crocker, I am not sure what sort of poem it is, it is memprable to me because it was passed onto me by my brother and I think it's funny

Poetry
i think that this quote means that artist people like poetry and it brings out a side of them that they cannot normally share with friends, family or people in general.
I agree a bit that we need poetry but only because songs are poetry. I like having music and poetry is apart of that music.
The first example of poetry is the Pain Supllies advert. It has a song on the ad which rhyms and is about of poetry. If it was written as a prose it wouldn't be a catchy tune which people would remember.

Books v Movies

Hey everyone.
Personally i think that books are better than movies because they give us more detail and they don't leave a lot of things out.
With the Harry Potter series there have been 7 books written but with each movie that has come out there has been a lot of stuff that is missing out so it doesn't make that much sense to people that read the book.
However to people that just watch the movie it makes a lot of sense and with some movies it just wouldnt be the same to read a book. With action movies with all the explosions and therforth you couldn't get that in a book. It just wouldn't be the same.
Anyway im off.. have a good one everyone.

Akermanis's Comments

Hey everyone i think that Jason Akermanis's comments are fairly well justified because in the AFL every player should be fit but a midfield player should be even fitter.
The player in question is Michael Braun and Akermanis claims that when Akermanis stood Braun for the second time that he had improved greatly in his fitness which isn't normal unless you are always under a injury cloud meaning you aren't performing to your greatest potential.
But i still don't think Braun has taken performance enhancing drugs because he was always a good player and that hasn't changed.

My holiday book

The book that i chose to read during the holidays was called the hit list by Chris Ryan. It was about a ex SAS soldier who was trying to find a life outside of the SAS starting as a school teacher he ended up doing the inevitable and killing two kidnappers as they tried to kill a student of the school. He was then a body guard who lost his job and one of his ex SAS soldiers offered him a job as a hit man and he worked for a team called Cadre and he was involved in helping the nation.
This book is probably recommended for teenagers or mature readers because it is a very detailed book with detailed situations.
This book is very good because it has a lot of detail and mistery to it but you never know where it will end up and it will surprise you with the end result and everything that happens during the book. It will sell because it will intrigue people into reading it and want to find out more.
