Students of the University of Practical Psychology are very fond of writing complex texts, and they themselves get confused in them. To teach students good thinking, you first need to teach them how to write simple texts.
The plain text contains a short introduction, one main idea, a simple rationale, a clear illustration, and one conclusion.
Once again for the stupid: one thought, not 10 (like you have now), and one conclusion, not 0 (like you have now).
Why do you need to learn how to write the simplest texts? Because only in plain text you won’t get lost. In a complex text you will get lost, but not in a simple one.
In addition, it is very important for you to develop the ability to speak your thoughts in one short phrase, to concentrate your intellectual process in one short thesis.
Simplify your articles, make them primitively simple: an introduction in two sentences, one thesis, one or two justifications and one simple conclusion.
fun lessons
Introduction. It’s fun to play, but school homework is boring. What are we to do with our children yearning for hateful lessons?
the main idea. It’s simple: homework should start to be fun. And if the child does not know how to do it himself, an adult should help him with this! But how?
Illustration. Once, when my 9-year-old daughter and I were doing homework, I suggested that she not only do homework, but play at the same time. The game is as follows: while we are doing our homework, we are constantly smiling, and whoever does not smile (including me) squats 3 times. And then we smile again. The daughter agreed, we tried — and, lo and behold! Doing ordinary homework has changed: my daughter’s boredom immediately disappeared, fun, interest and excitement appeared. In addition, I fixed the joy of the lessons with the following schedule: we do homework for 15-20 minutes, after which we have a break for 5 minutes, where we rage, dance to music or play. Since then, we have been doing homework with a smile and with pleasure!
Conclusion. In summary: until our children have learned to do their homework properly, we must help them with this. And the best help is a fun help!
At one time — one thing!
Wife’s conversation with her husband:
— Dear, when you sit at the computer, do you think about me?
(surprised) No…
— And when you lie with me, do you think about the computer?
— Not…
Listen, how do you do it?
We’ve all heard that multitasking is more of a feminine thing to do. Men can’t do that. There is a hypothesis that women are more focused on multitasking and spraying their attention.
However, women should learn to do one thing at a time. This allows you to save time and do your job better.
If the mother is now taking care of the child, then it is better if she fully devotes her attention to the child (rather than parallel chatting on the phone or chatting). If she does the cleaning, then let it be only a quick and vigorous cleaning, it is better to leave browsing the found magazines for later.
And with what admiration I remember a friend who, when her husband returned home, immediately turned off Skype, saying at the same time: “Now I have time for my husband!”
Try it, practice it. At one time — one thing!
Thesis from grandma
If you are going somewhere, then be sure to see that the cat does not run across the road. Especially black. And the other one is not good either. But black, they are definitely not good.
If you run across, then spit over your left shoulder three times.
What for? Yes, because this wisdom is centuries-old. If this was not true, then people would not have come up with such a sign. And since there is such a sign, it means it’s not without reason!
Yesterday I was going to a bus stop, and right in front of me was a cat — sniffing! And I hurried to the bus, did not stop. The bus then left — right in front of the nose.
So it’s a sure sign! Cats — beware! Or spit over your shoulder — and move on, nothing bad will happen to you.
Developing voice behind the wheel
You are faced with the task of making your voice louder and stronger, learning how to control it, but is there little opportunity to allocate time and money for classes with a teacher? You can develop vocal cords while driving a car!
What you need for this:
- first, record the songs you like;
- second, desire;
- thirdly — good mood!
So, we sit behind the wheel of a car, turn the ignition key, turn on the music, and … sing! But we sing not just, but constantly change the timbre, pitch, strength and tone of our voice. We sing with the velvety baritone of Lev Leshchenko, the unique timbre of Lyudmila Gurchenko, we parody the incomparable Evgeny Leonov with the voice of Winnie the Pooh or the unique Clara Rumyanova with the voice of Cheburashka. We sing in a low chest, high and sonorous, soft and prickly, joyful and excited voice. And it’s okay if we don’t quite hit the notes!
Such singing will help to expand the vocal range, give strength to the voice, make it more expressive, and allow you to master smooth transitions from quiet to loud speech.
And besides, this is a good workout, which can reduce the likelihood of a sore throat. And the road with the song is more fun and shorter!
So sing and drive!
