1.5 How to take notes So what should you do when taking notes? Again you will develop your own technique, but the method I use is as follows. I read the material through once very quickly, from start to finish. I then sift through the material, writing the words or phrases I think are important.

It is the process of actively reading the material and putting it in your own w
The Color Blue Song
This is a cute video that introduces the color blue. Words are highlighted at the bottom of the screen as the song is sung. Photographs are shown that match song. Some of the pictures include the sky, sea, planet Earth. Some of the lyrics include "The sky above is colored blue. B-L-U-E, blue". (to tune of B-I-N-G-O) Content is appropriate for young learners and this video would work well in conjunction with a introductory or review lesson on colors. (0:54)

3 Peter, Roger, Rachel, Jenny and Veera 12.1 Introduction Data must be stored somewhere when it is not being manipulated. Modern ICT systems require increasingly large amounts of data to be stored for later use, and it is important that the data can be accessed quickly. Data may be stored on the stand-alone computer's hard disk in the form of files. You may want to move files from one stand-alone computer to another. In addition, you may want to move files from a device, such as a digital camera, to a computer. These activities require some fo Greg Kochanski on Phonetics David Roentgen: Apollo Clock 4.4 Obesity and cardiovascular diseases Obesity and being overweight are well-known as risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Carrying excess body fat predisposes individuals to developing elevated blood cholesterol and diabetes.

Environmental Apocalypse and Christian Hope 3.1 Introduction This section starts by broadly classifying different types of network, first by the nature of the communication links used to connect devices and then by a network's geographical spread. It then examines in more detail a network which uses a cabled communication link. A networked device is often referred to as a node so we shall use this term in the sections that follow. A node is any device (for example, computer, printer, server) connected to a network, either as an end point ( 3.1 Actividad In this activity you are going to review some of the vocabulary that you have learned about tourist sights, as well as learn some new words.
