WHAT IS YOUR LEARNING STYLE?

If you find yourself learn better by making notes during the lecture, or when the teacher uses a new word, you want to see it written immediately, then you are very likely to be a more visual learner. You prefer to see the written words. You learn by reading and writing. Visual learners often think in pictures. If you find a particular task or text difficult, look for sources that will suit your learning style, e.g. sources with illustrations, charts, tables, or videos.

If you prefer recording the lecture and listening again to taking notes, or you memorize something by repeating it aloud instead of writing it out several times, you are probably a more auditory learner. You prefer to learn by listening and speaking. Auditory learners often learn best from lectures, discussions, by reading aloud, and by listening to audio material.

However, it is probably that you, like most people, learn through a mixture of styles. Sometimes you may prefer to learn by reading, at other time by listening. Ask yourself which is the best style for the particular task you are doing.

Living in Madrid is quite different with living in London. People get up later, and start work later. They often start work at ten, and have lunch at 2 pm. Everything closes for about three hours after lunch and people don’t go back to work at 5p.m. They finish work at about 7p.m or 8 p.m. Then they go out. The citizens in Spain go to bed very late: at about 1 or 2 in the morning. The population in Madrid spend more time in the streets. Most of them live in the center, in small flats, not like London, where people live in houses in the suburbs. The public transport system is very good and very cheap, but most of the residents like to have their own cars.

Read the paragraph and do the tasks below.

            Education is a very important part of a child’s life, and yet an increasing number of children don’t want to attend school. It is not that they find the work too difficult or are afraid of the teachers. It is because they are being bullied.

School bullies can make other children’s lives a misery and their bullying takes different forms. Often they will use their physical size to threaten those who are smaller and weaker than themselves. They will frighten their victims with a beating if they don’t do as they say, often using physical force to take money, and other  possessions from them.

Some psychologists say that the desire of the class bully to dominate the others is a result of an inferiority complex or some personal unhappiness. The bullying problem is so great that many schools have been forced to draw up an official strategy for dealing with it.

Because it is so difficult to get victims to report bullies, and often difficult to prove coercion, many bullies escape unpunished. We must protect our children from this issue. They have a right to enjoy their schooldays.
