Lots of people don’t know how to study so I decided to reveal the techniques I (try to) use. Maybe after reading through it you to will know how to study better for exam! Remember these are just some basic study skills and study tips.

Be Organised:
Work out what you need to do and then decide which one is more important. Give equal times for all your jobs so that you’ll won’t lose time on other work which may be just as important. It is also a good idea to use your study diary.

File Your Notes:
To make things more easier and cleaner, put all your different subjects notes into seperate folders or files. When you get home from school, transfer all your notes and handouts into the correct folders. This can then be divided further into different topics. By doing this, you can now organise what notes should be study and how you can find them more easier.

Set Goals:
Set an aim for every subject in your study sessions, such as getting question 3 done. Set goals that you can actually achieve. However don’t set vague goals such as studying for one hour because you may just be day dreaming during that time and then say the goal is accomplished. You need to clearly identify what your goal is.

Identify:
Find the principle of what you are studying for. If it is English, find the moral or reason of the story. If it is Maths, identify the formula.

Get Practicle:
Using your study notes, make more notes out of it and draw pictures, write comments, etc. to let you practise the key ideas and facts instead of just memorising by reading.

Concentrate:
Stay focus on what you are dong. Don’t wonder away day dreaming or thinking you’ll do it later! Try not to stay in the same position all the time! Stand up sometimes. Another way is to put sticky notes around your desk. If something suddenly pops up in your mind like getting a present for your friend, write it down on the pad and think about it later.

Revise!:
You will forget stuff as you learn new things! You must get into a habit or revising! If you study for a topic test and then forget about everything after it, you are actually putting all your studying time to waste no matter if you passed the test or not. I know a friend that hangs notes around her house so that she won’t forget things. Lol!

I used to suffer from very bad acne on my face and have searched for an acne treatment ever since. It wasn’t until I learnt about extra virgin coconut oil that I noticed a dramatic difference from all other acne treatments I’ve tried. So here I want to reveal to you the secret about the coconut oil acne treatment!

To most people applying oil onto your face isn’t the thing to look for when trying to cure pimples, but coconut oil has a different story. After first applying to it, I noticed my face beginning to get softer and after one day, the redness had already disappeared. After about a week I realised my skin had been its best in years! The coconut oil benefits include moisturizing your face, protecting it from infections and also having powerful anti microbial agents.

Using it is simple! Just pour some coconut oil into a small jar or perfume bottle and apply a little bit to your face every morning and evening. One drop will be more than enough. Make sure you even it out so your face won’t look shiny. You may even mix it with some moisturizing cream if you find it hard to spread the one drop of coconut oil throughout your face. After a week, you should start seeing an effect!

There is an issue going on in Australia that Encyclopedia Dramatica is racist towards Aborigines and the owner of the website could face charges under Australian law. Aborigines are a group of people and cannot be identified as one individual. If you go to the Encyclopedia Dramatica website, you’ll be surprised to see ton of articles based on biasness towards one person – racist, mocking, rude remarks and negative assumptions, but yet, even though these articles has a specific bullying-target to an identifiable person, it is okay and no controversy seems to be raised from it.

Yet the number of Aborigines can includes many people – not just one identifiable person and a charge warning is raised from it. Australia needs to understand that the world is a big place and anything can happen on the Internet. Racism, biasness and bullying are everywhere online, and in the same time, so are love, friendship and care. I think Australia should stop taking technology, especially one website, so seriously. Having pages being hacked started many years ago, online bullying can be found in history, and many more online threats are now part of the daily life on the Internet, and yet it seems fresh in Australia.

In my opinion, Encyclopedia Dramatica should not be charged, or even be talked about due to one page of racist content. Even if the racist page about Aboriginals is taken down, there are still thousands of other racist websites on the Internet! Is Australia going to try taking them off too?
