Learning style


I feel that the Multiple Intelligence Test is a good way for us to gauge the way we like to learn want how we do things in live. The results of the test would also help us to understand ourselves better. This way we can suit the way we want to learn in the most comfortable and suitable environment, in this way we would be able to learn in a more effective and efficient way. In conclusion, the Multiple Intelligence Test will help us understand our selves in many ways and enhance our learning experience at home, as well as in school.

Movie Review: Avatar

A couple of weeks ago, I watched the movie, Avatar. I must say that it was quite interesting and it was also the first 3D movie which i watched, this added on to its entertainment value. I would like to make use of this post to write a review on the movie Avatar.
Release Date:17th December 2009
Language:English
Running Time:161 mins
Rating:PG
Genre:Action
Starring:Sigourney Weaver, Sam Worthington, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriquez
Directed by:James Cameron
Rate: 4.5 /5
This movie revolves about an injured ex-marine Jake Sully being hired by the RDA to carry on his late twin's brother research on the avatar. The whole point of the program is to have humans communicate with the Na’vi, learn their culture first-hand, and then ask them very nicely if they would please get off their land so RDA can mine the valuable mineral “Unobtanium.”

In his avatar body, Jake learns about their culture and the way they live. He also falls in love with the princess of the na'vi tribe, who is also a great warrior. The hair of the Na’vi is either braided or pulled back into a pony-tail. All the Na’vi’s have this long hair-braid because it allows them to create a physical link to the animals of Pandora and to their Na’vi ancestors through the Tree of Souls.

Soon when the humans (known as the sky people by the na'vis) attack the na'vi, Jake decides to betray the humans and help the na'vis alongside some of his friends.

I shall not tell you the ending but this movie has a moral which is that we have to protect our surroundings and mother nature and not destroy them for fuel fossils.

About myself

Hi, this blog is made as part of an english ACE project. firstly, i would like to tell you more about myself. I come from Hwa Chong and my CCA is basketball. I enjoy playing basketball as it is a fun sport and it is also a team-sport. Although my trainings can be tiring and take up alot of time, i feel that the time spent is worth it as it helps improve myself in fitness and in skills.
Now, i would tell you about my hobbies. My favourite hobby as can be seen in the above paragraph is basketball, i would usually make time to play basketball leisurely with my teammates or friends at a community center near my house. I also enjoy playing computer games and watching television programs, However i only do this when i have finished my homework and if it is not too late to do so.
With this, i would like to end my first post, thanks for your time.
