4 tips to help you do well on tests

Hey guys,
So I know at the moment most people are preparing for school tests including me and I usually worry about them a lot and don't always do that great on them.So I've prepared 4 tips to help you do better on tests and exams.

1.Don't panic!!!
I've been in tests where I've panicked a lot which has made me not concentrate and do quite badly on tests.So what I advise is for you not to panic or worry because even if you think it's the most important test in the world, it's probably not even that important.Also worrying about tests and stuff is actually quite bad for you.

2.Answer all the questions
A couple of days ago we did a practice paper and I left 6 questions out which I should have just answered because not answering them cost me marks.Even if you don't understand a question just move on and then come back to it at the end.If you only have a few minutes left in your test and still don't have an idea what the answer is just guess because you have more of a chance of getting the question right than if you just leave it blank.

3.Manage your time
In most tests you'll get a time limit to complete your paper.So the best way to do it in the time limit is to manage your time.If you don't get a question move on and make sure you don't spend ages on one question and just sit there confused because this can waste your time.

4.Read the questions carefully 
Going back to the practice test I was on about before,some people weren't reading the question properly, for example it would say tick two and they'd tick one.I've done that before and it's cost me so many marks so make sure you read the question carefully. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and found it helpful I hope you all do great on your upcoming tests.

Bye guys and I hope you have a great day:)

The emoji tag!

Hey guys,
Today I'm going to be doing something I've been wanting to do in ages its the emoji tag.But first I need to explain what the emoji tag is.The emoji tag is where I pick 5 emojis that best describe me.Also If you don't know what emojis are they're little smiley faces that you can put after text messages.

Here are some emojis:

1.The smiley faced emoji 
The reason I chose this emoji is because I think most of the time I'm quite smiley and just generally a happy person:)

2.The computer emoji
The reason I chose this emoji is because if I didn't have a laptop none of this could have been possible and I wouldn't have even been able to create this blog.

3.The think bubble emoji
The reason I chose this is because I usually think and talk a lot.When I started this blog I had so many ideas I just kept thinking of new ones every day.

4.The friend emoji 
The reason I chose this emoji is because I have so many amazing friends which makes school so fun.

5.The city emoji
The reason I chose this emoji is because I have so many amazing memories from when I went on holiday to places like New York and Berlin which will always stay with me.

Anyway as this is a tag post I need to tag three people to do it:

1.Morning time 4 from http://theworldthroughmywindowsill.blogspot.co.uk/

2.Miss internet from http://onlinemissy.blogspot.co.uk/

3.Noor akhter from http://www.alittlebitofsunshineblog.com/

 I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did making it.

Bye guys and I hope you have a great day.

D.I.Y:How to make focaccia bread

Hey guys,
Last weekend me and my mum made focaccia bread.It was probably the nicest bread I've ever tasted and it was homemade which made it even better. Focaccia is a Italian bread and is scattered with rosemary and herbs.The dough doesn't take a lot of time to make but it has to prove and cook for several hours.

Serves about ten people 

You will need: 
.500g strong white flour 
plus extra for dusting 

.7g fast action yeast

.6 tablespoons of olive oil 
plus extra for brushing 

.300ml warm water 

.2 teaspoons sea salt 

.2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves


How to make:

1.First brush a baking tray and the inside of a bowl with oil 

2.Next sift the flour into a large bowl and stir in the yeast.Then make a well in the centre and pour in 3 table spoons of the oil with the water.Add in the fine salt and with the help of the wooden spoon,mix together until all the ingredients are well combined.

3.After that transfer the mixture to a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until you have a smooth and elastic dough.The dough should be soft,if it is really sticky add a little more flour.

4.Then fold the edges of the dough underneath to form a smooth rounded top.Place the dough in the oiled bowl and brush the top with a little more oil to prevent a crust from forming.Cover with cling film and leave to rise in a warm place away from drafts for 1 hour until doubled in size.

5.After the dough has proven slide it onto the oiled baking tray.Use your fingertips to make indentations in the dough while flattening it into an oval shape about 3cm thick,brush over a little oil and cover with clingfilm.Leave it to rise in a warm place away from draughts for 40 minutes until doubled in size.

6.Preheat the oven to 220 degrees/gas mark 7.

7.Once the dough has risen,gently press your fingertips into the dough to make more indentations.Tuck the rosemary leaves into the surface,sprinkle with the sea salt and drizzle 3 tablespoons of oil or over.

8.Finally bake in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes until

beautifully golden.Once cooked,allow to cool slightly on a wire rack.Serve it warm.

I hope you enjoyed this blog post and have a go at making this recipe.

Bye guys and I hope you have a great day. 






    

D.I.Y:How to plan the best movie night ever!!!

Hey guys,
Yesterday I organised a movie night with my family and I really enjoyed it.It was a great way to relax and spend some time together.So I've decided to give you some tips to make your movie night better.

1.Choose the right movie 
First of all you need the right movie or you won't enjoy it that much.It can be difficult to find a movie that everyone agrees on because everyone has different preferences. The best way to solve this is to compromise on film choices.

2. Have some snacks
I love to have snacks while watching a movie.It makes it feel like a cinema experience. M&M's are one of my favourites but you could have anything from popcorn,crisps/chips to candy/sweets. If you want to be healthy you could try nuts or bags of healthy popcorn.

3.Cuddle up in a warm blanket
If you happen to have a blanket lying around make sure you use it by cuddling up in it.I love it when your'e all toasty and warm wrapped up in a blanket while watching a good movie.

4.simply enjoy it 
Even if it wasn't the film you wanted to watch just enjoy spending time with who ever you're watching the film with. Think of a movie night as relaxing time you can enjoy.

I hope you enjoyed this post and that you all have great movie nights!

Bye guys and I hope you have a great day.

How to be great at public speaking!

Hey guys,
Today I thought I would tell you how to master public speaking.So I'm sure we've all been in the situation when we've had to speak in front of a lot of people.It might be a few people,a room of people or a crowd of people but its still scary.Lately in school we've all had to do public speaking in front of the class. I have to admit I wasn't very good at it at first but everything comes with practice. Here is a list of my tips and tricks to make public speaking easier.




1..Act like your superhero self
This might sound a bit strange but if you act like a confident superhero it makes you feel 10 times better.Even if your'e feeling terrified on the inside,make yourself seem confident so the audience will think you are.

2.Make sure you learn your speech really well
Make sure you learn your speech and practice many times. This will make it come more naturally when you come to doing the speech. I would advise you to have a few bullet points with a few key words or facts to remind you what you're going to say.If you don't learn your speech, it will only make you more nervous because you will be worried that you will forget it.

 3.Speak clearly 
This is extremely important to make sure you get your point across so that everyone can understand. If you mumble, people may loose interest.

4.Project your voice
When your'e nervous you can often speak quite quietly so some people may not hear. If you project your voice loudly, more people will hear so more people can engage in your speech. This is especially important if you don't have a mic and if your speaking in a large room. 

5. Relax!
My last point is to relax- just pretend you are talking to yourself in the mirror. If you relax your speech will flow better and you will feel more confident about yourself.

I hope you have enjoyed this post and have found it useful.Public speaking is scary but can be made simple- you will soon be fab at public speaking!

Bye guys and I hope you have a great day.
