God Of Study

The Drama started in high school in Korea. An unpopular high school teacher finds himself the primary suspect in the case of a missing student when news gets out that he was the last person to see . The teacher is principle, discipline, tough and frank. The school that he teach is not favorite school, but he has big willing to pick his student pass well and continue they study in favorite university in Korea. The problem is the student does not have any kind of motivation even they have talent that they did no well about it. The students are quiet smart but they have a lot of problem in their social life. The get insulted with the the other school that always tease them. The teacher did not give up to improve proficiency of his student.

The teacher was not really nervous when he taught because he had a lot of experience after became lawyer. First thing that he done was find the clear information about the student. Then,he tried to hire more teacher , on of them was have brilliant method to teach the student. New creativity is built by the teacher. He taught for the base study, start in the elementary school then to high school. Because he know that there was an error in their teaching learning that becomes bad habit. The discipline study was conducted by them. He was infatuate with his assistance grew the motivation of their student to become higher that before. They tried to set up the student dream that have been break. He done learning strategy that out of the rule or something content-porer but maybe many people things that is weird , such as make a game in many subject like, mathematic ,chemical and etc. In this way that stuff worked successful.

In this period, it is very difficult to teach a student something about moral. They have good intelligence but less character. The teacher does not only talk, but they have to do as what they say. The teacher had stand in the middle side when faced up the problems. The teacher was not through the student problem but he just became wise to advise their student. He tried to find the student interest without insulting them. Made a variation and good relation was good way to involve the student in the learning process. With hard work the student passed the school with great score, then continue their study in favorite campus.

The method of micro teaching

The core of this experience is
• The presentation of two 15 minute micro lessons by each participant. When one participant presents the lesson as the instructor, the other participants become the students for that lesson.
• A timer is used to keep to the STRICTLY ENFORCED 15 minute time limit. Please don’t be offended if you are cut off; it will be necessary to keep to the time limit so that everyone might participate fully. Because this time limit is strictly enforced, it might be very helpful for you actually to practice and time yourself before you arrive.
• Please DO NOT try and cram an entire body of knowledge into 15 minutes; this is designed to provide a quick snapshot into your teaching methodology. The goal is to provide a sample of a teaching method or style in order to get a fresh perspective on it from your learners.
• Your 15 minute lesson can cover from the beginning, middle or end of one course lesson.
You have several decisions to make concerning the preparation of your micro lessons:
1) Your topic: Choose a teaching topic that you are comfortable with in order to focus on a particular teaching method or element.
2) Your lesson objectives: Think about and be able to articulate what you want your students to learn from your lesson (e.g., facts, concepts, skills, and/or values) and how your teaching methodology might work to fulfill your objectives (see Developing Performance Objectives for Microteaching handout).
3) What you want feedback on. You can specify to the group what you would like them to focus on. For example, you may wish to have overall, general feedback or perhaps you might wish for the group to simply attend to a specific issue, such as how you use questions or reinforcement with students.

• When you are in the role of students, you should combine the role of student and observer, striving to create as natural a classroom setting as possible.
• Do not feel like you must role play specific student behaviors, but do feel free to ask questions and comment as a learner in the classroom environment.
• Try to focus on what is happening during the micro lesson.

Ground Rules
1. Respect confidentiality concerning what we learn about each other.
2. Respect agreed-upon time limits. This may be hard, but please understand that it is necessary.
3. Maintain collegiality.

How Singdarin was formed?

Like its Singlish equivalent, Singdarin evolved because many Singaporean-Chinese families have a mixed language environment. For instance, one parent might speak English while the other speaks Chinese, leading to their children combining and mixing the two languages together in a process known as creolization.

Singdarin has also evolved largely due to Singapore being a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-lingual society. One of the most important policies of the Singapore government is to ensure social and multi-ethnic harmony. Therefore, instead of letting certain racial/ethnic group to live in an isolated community like they did in the past, the Singapore government encourages the majority of Singaporeans to live in HDB flats that have now become a melting pot of Chinese, Malays, Indians and other different ethnicities who speak different languages. This is believed to reduce differences between the diverse linguistic and ethnic groups in Singapore.

As the majority of Singaporeans live in HDB flats, which have families coming from various linguistic, racial and ethnic background, there is a tendency for different languages to be mixed in order to facilitate more effective communication between the different races. In short, it leads to the creation of a hybrid culture (known colloquially as a "rojak" culture).

This and the tendency for the Singaporean Chinese people to use the mixed language that they use at home in daily colloqual conversation has since influenced the Mandarin spoken in schools, resulting in "Singdarin" being formed.It was in this environment that Singdarin was formed.

The Meaning of Family Values

Definition of Family: A family is a primary social group, a small community, in any society, typically consisting of a man and a woman, or any two individuals who wish to share their lives together in a long-term committed relationship with one another, raising offspring and usually resides in the same dwelling.
Family is the main building block of a community; family structure and upbringing determines the social character and personality of any given society. - Family is where we all learn: love, caring, compassion, ethics, honesty, fairness, common sense, reason, peaceful conflict resolution and respect for ourselves and others, which are the vital fundamental skills, and family values, necessary to live an honorable and prospers life in harmony, in the world community.
Definition of Value: A value is a principle, standard, or quality considered worthwhile or desirable for maintaining a set of customary standards, as I mentioned at the above.
Definition of Family Values: To have a sense of Family Values is to have good thoughts, good intentions and good deeds, to love and to care for those whom we are close to and are part of our primary social group, our community, such as children, parents, other family members and friends. And to treat others with the same set of values, the same way we wish to be treated.
Those who have been lucky to possess the sense of Family Values would be considerate and careful with their conduct making sure not to leave behind a poisoned and polluted world for one’s family and loved ones. - Next time you see the angelic smile of sweet little angels, our children, running around, stop and think for just 1 minute, think about what kind of a polluted Home, Planet Earth we are leaving behind for them.



Those who possess a sense of Family Values would not allow the nation-less corporate warmongers to pillage other people’s lives, family, property, rights and dignity, and would not allow their representatives meddling in the economic and political affairs of other nations for blood money, profit. And they would not stand for dominating other nation’s lives for worse in order to obtain cheap fuel for their home, factory and automobile and continue ruining the environment, for all of us, the humanity.
The simple fact is that we all are, and have always been punished by the plundering unending greed and un-neighborly foreign policy concocted by the European Union of Nation-Less Corporations and United States of Nation-Less Corporations. The obvious lack of Family Values exhibited by the European and American policy makers is the driving force for providing support and aide given to the corrupt criminal businessmen and politicians to promote their barbaric colonialism, which began over one hundred years ago. It accelerated after the WWII by colonialist criminals beginning with the Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower administrations, the CIA and British Prime Minster Churchill, in order to steal oil and protect the criminal oil interests of European and American people and their Nation-Less Corporations.
Those who possess a sense of Family Values would not allow anyone to act carelessly and in a greedy fashion. Having and understanding of Family Values is to be a kind, caring, honorable, neighborly, generous, compassionate, fair, and a peace-loving people.

Short Story Suffer The Little Children Stephen King 7 Published in 1980

Summary An elderly teacher with back problems at Summer Street School, Miss Sidley, uses the reflection on her glasses to watch her class. She calls on Robert to use the word "tomorrow" in a sentence. He says "Tomorrow a bad thing will happen."[3] Miss Sidley is disturbed by the nature of Robert's answer, and in the reflection of her glasses she sees his face change into something described as "different".[4] She turns around to find that Robert looks normal. While checking the paper towels in the girls' lavatory, she hears two girls talking about her. They are suggested to be alien in nature, like Robert.



When confronted by other teachers, she claims to have slipped. The next day, she keeps Robert after class. He tells Miss Sidley that there are eleven of them. He offers to change for her, and claims that he can sometimes feel the original Robert in his mind. When Miss Sidley tells him to go away, Robert ignores her, and changes. His mouth disappears, and his head elongates. His eyes flatten, and his nostrils form together. The process is described as looking like "melting wax."[5] Miss Sidley runs out of the classroom, and into a street, where she is almost hit by a bus. After taking a month long break, where she sees a doctor, she comes back to her class. She now believes that all of them have changed. Robert confirms that there are more, and tells her that no one would believe her if she told them.

Miss Sidley brings a gun into school the next day, which her brother had taken from a dead German after the Battle of the Bulge. She tells them that there is a test, and that it will be taken in the sound-proofed mimeograph room. She kills twelve of her students, including Robert. Another teacher, Margaret Crossen, comes in for composition paper, and begins to scream. Miss Sidley demands that the girl, who she brought in to kill, change for Mrs. Crosse, but the girl only cries.
Miss Sidley is sent to Juniper Hill, a mental institution. In experimental therapy, she is allowed to work with mentally retarded children. Buddy Jenkins, the psychiatrist who is observing her, thinks that she is performing well. She then seems to see something that upsets her, and she asks to be taken away. Miss Sidley commits suicide, by cutting her throat. Buddy Jenkins begins watching the children closely and it is suggested that they have become subject to the forces which possessed Miss Sidley's class.


Analysis Suffer the Little Children is characteristic of most of Stephen King's stories. It takes you into the life of a classroom of seemingly normal kids who are a bit intimidated by their teacher.(Miss Sidley) It then moves you into questioning the your own assumptions. It builds you to a higher and higher suspense level, just when you think you know the ending, or have guessed the ending, you are left with a final question... and your own doubts.

Comment Most of characters are simply described in the beginning. Whereas Emily Sidley- right fully the protagonist of the story is analyzed in detail.

Public speaking

Public speaking is the process of speaking to a group of people in a structured, deliberate manner intended to inform, influence, or entertain the listeners.

In public speaking, as in any form of communication, there are five basic elements, often expressed as "who is saying what to whom using what medium with what effects?" The purpose of public speaking can range from simply transmitting information, to motivating people to act, to simply telling a story. Good orators should be able to change the emotions of their listeners, not just inform them. Public speaking can also be considered a discourse community. Interpersonal communication and public speaking have several components that embrace such things as motivational speaking, leadership/personal development, business, customer service, large group communication, and mass communication. Public speaking can be a powerful tool to use for purposes such as motivation, influence, persuasion, informing, translation, or simply entertaining.

5 Elements of Great Public Speakingby Paul Evans.
The difference in a powerful and pitiful presentation is usually a few essential basics. The following seven reminders must be part of every speech.
1. Audience Awareness.
The better you know the people in the seat, the better your presentation will be. Too many speakers are self-centered. They design a message that sounds good to them.
The audience-centered speaker provides what the people need. Information to help them grow. Motivation to aid the desire to apply.
2. Positive Preparation
Do not prepare in fear. Forget worrying about the possibilities of what can go wrong. Instead, think about the positives. Note everything you can’t wait to share. Pinpoint the most powerful aspects of the speech and look forward to releasing them.
3. Confident Content.
Too often we draw our confidence from our delivery style. Listen, that’s overrated. Who cares if an audience is wowed by delivery if no content comes with it?
The less confident you are with your delivery the more critical it is that you are confident with your content. Know exactly the benefit the audience will receive from the information you share.
4. Test Technology.
Check the microphones, laptop, etc. before the event. Inspect it with enough time to repair it if needed.
Last Wednesday I spoke at a meeting and we were not sure if my laptop would be compatible with the projection system. In the end we switched cables and all went well. But if I hadn’t been there forty-five minutes early it might not have went as well.
5. Validate Value
This ties the previous four points together.
Value the audience. Remember that you are talking to people with fears and also with dreams.
Value preparation. Don’t try to wing-it and don’t over prepare thinking it will make you perfect.
Value content. Have a clear message that cannot me missed. Also, make it practical so it can be immediately applied.
Value technology. If PowerPoint strengthens the message use it; if it doesn’t then don’t. Only use technology that will enhance the message.
If you know those four areas the fifth - validate value - will be guaranteed. You will know what you are going to say, who you are saying it to, and why you are sharing it.
