You see a
€97 jumper, but you haven’t any cash.
You borrow
€50 from your mum and €50 from your dad; now you have €100. You buy the
jumper and get €3 change. You then decide to give your mum €1, and €1 to your
dad and keep €1 for yourself. You now owe your mum and dad €49 each.
€49 +€49 = € 98
€98 plus the €1 you are keeping for yourself = €99
Where is the missing €1 ?
Send in your answers asap :)
Speech and Drama
To prepare for your Speech and Drama exam next Friday, revise the "elements of good speech".
Try to explain each clearly in your own words.
Listen to yourself talking.
Do you use "thinking sounds"? em, ah, eh, etc
Do you speak fluently without saying words "like, thingy, what do you call it" etc
Practice your solo and remember to include actions.
Practice your poem and remember to pause at commas, colons and full stops.
Also remember to show vocal variety i.e tone, pace.
Ask someone at home to record you so you can see what the examiner will see on the day.
Man in the mirror....
Some other people named were Mother Teresa and Mahatma Ghandi.
He is quoted as saying
"Be the change you want to see in the world"
Michael Jackson used the same theme in his song "man in the mirror".
Look at this video to listen to the song with the lyrics.
Are there any other people that have inspired you?
Can you think of any other songs that have messages for us all?
