There is a child who I believed that she is really so smart, at the age of one year old she already know how to count numbers from one to one hundred. She know how to distinguish colors. She is so intelligent and talented. She can colored drawing of flowers, animals and plants very well. She always asking questions. She is so curious about her environment. She want you to answer all her questions with her satisfaction. You could not imagine that a one year old child can already write her name and can read letters.

If you will asked her what she want to be someday when she get old, she will say ” I want to become a teacher, I will teach children to become a good persons, I will teach them to write and read very well. She loved to play puzzled toys than doll. Her mom said ” I will enroll her to an exclusive school at the age of three so she could practice her talent and knowledge very well.

Active Note-taking

Let’s face it - taking and making notes is part of every student’s life. So many students take down notes with their eyes closed, that why, often times their notes are not correctly taken. Note-taking involves active deciding what to note, how it should be noted and later, how the notes are to be used.

Good notes help us study more effectively by cutting down the amount of information we need to handle. They also help us think actively about what we are reading or listening to but they need to be organized appropriately. There is no single, best method for note-taking. It all depends on what suits us best, the purpose of the notes, and the topic we are taking notes on. The point is that notes need to show the connection between ideas, that is, the way the information is organized. This should be reflected in the way our notes are laid out. Remember that there is no one correct way to take notes.
