The document discusses two endemic problems with education in Korea: overreliance on rote memorization and overcrowded classrooms. It states that Korean instructors primarily use rote memorization techniques without proper storytelling or stimulus, making learning difficult and exhausting. To improve this, instructors should use varied materials like instructional videos to better engage students. It also notes that overcrowded classrooms prevent instructors from caring for each student's individual needs, differences, and situations. The document concludes that addressing these two issues of excessive memorization and classroom size through instructor and government efforts, respectively, could improve the quality of education in Korea.
The document contains a speech on the topic of honesty. The speech defines honesty as being truthful even when it is easier to lie. It notes that while lying may provide short-term benefits, the truth will eventually be revealed and honesty is the best policy. The speech encourages practicing honesty in all dealings with others to build trust and respect.
This document provides a curriculum guide for a 10-week College Club program at elementary schools. The objective is to introduce students to the idea of college. Week 1 activities include an introduction where students share what they know about college, drawing pictures of what they think college looks like, acting out skits, and making a list of true things about college. The guide outlines discussion questions, activities, and materials needed for each weekly session to educate students on college preparation.
While boarding schools are certainly nothing new, most people simply don’t understand what life at a boarding school is like. Many of the popular culture depictions of boarding schools are a poor substitute for the real experience, showing the schools in a negative light or as a way of punishment for misbehaved boys.
The document is a speech advocating for swimming lessons to be included in the Malaysian education system. It tells a story of a boy who almost drowned and argues this could be prevented with swimming education. Statistics are presented showing high drowning rates in Asia, including Malaysia. The speaker urges that swimming provides health benefits and should not be seen as merely a leisure activity. Government-funded school swimming lessons are proposed as a way to give all Malaysian children the opportunity to learn this life-saving skill, since private lessons are too expensive for many families. The speech aims to convince the audience of the need to change the education system to reduce drowning and promote health through swimming education.

Taylor Boles wrote a letter to the judges of her senior project at Creekview High School. She is pursuing a degree in Secondary Education in Mathematics at North Georgia College to become a high school math teacher. For her senior project, she created a lesson plan and taught a class for a freshman algebra course, videotaping her teaching. Her research paper focused on the shortage of math teachers, which relates directly to her career goal. Through completing her senior project, she learned that teaching is the right career path for her, though she felt it required too much time that could have been spent studying for AP exams.
The video "Enabling Dreams" showed how assistive technology can help students with disabilities learn and participate in class like other students. It highlighted devices like laptops and voice recorders that allow students to complete assignments. The document discusses how a teacher modified their lesson on reading by projecting the text for all students to see and read along with. This engaged students more and made teaching easier. It also emphasizes the importance of reviewing students' IEPs and ensuring lessons are tailored to meet their needs through appropriate modifications and accommodations. Overall, the author believes revising lessons and including assistive technologies enables students with disabilities to get the education they deserve while also improving their social and learning experiences.
PowerPoint Presentation given to New Year 7 Parents at the Step Up to Secondary Evening held at Countesthorpe Leysland Community College on Thursday 23rd May 2019.
Students are often late for school because they wake up too close to their start time. Setting an alarm one or two hours earlier allows time to prepare for the day and avoid missing transportation. Being late can negatively impact mood and academic performance by missing the start of class. It's also important to have breakfast, as the first meal of the day provides energy, but some students skip it when rushing in the morning. Waking up earlier helps ensure time for breakfast and a less stressful morning routine.
This document provides information for new Year 7 students and their parents about The Crossley Heath School. It introduces the school leadership team and Year 7 staff. It outlines the Year 7 curriculum, homework expectations, and pastoral care system. It describes registration procedures, uniform standards, and the role of form tutors. It provides details about transition day and the start of term events. It also introduces the Crossley Heath Association parental group and encourages parental involvement.
A student wrote a letter to the school principal suggesting that advertisements be placed in the school as a way to earn additional money for educational resources. The student believes advertisements on lockers would not be distracting but would provide funding for improved learning tools like iPads for each student and ensure teachers have enough supplies. The student argues that if the advertisements were educational, parents should not object and that advertisements only provide benefits to the school.
The six girls in a Design for Change class at Uehara Junior High School in Tokyo decided to greet students with hellos and smiles at the school gate every morning. They wanted to promote more positive communication and help students feel noticed and welcomed to start their day. Bullying is a major issue in Japanese schools, and some students suffer from being ignored. The girls' simple action of greeting others with smiles seemed to make more students greet each other happily each day.
Allowing students to rate their teachers could have benefits. Students have first-hand experience in the classroom and can provide feedback on a teacher's teaching ability, subject knowledge, and ability to engage and connect with students. Their feedback could help identify both good teachers and those needing improvement, leading to better quality of education. However, there are also concerns such as students grading teachers poorly due to personal dislikes rather than objective evaluation of teaching. Overall, student ratings may help improve teacher quality if implemented with safeguards against purely subjective ratings.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

IELTS Speaking Mock Test # 20
Part One: Interview:
[The examiner asks the candidates about him/ her homework, choices and studies and other familiar topics.]
Q. What kind of food do you enjoy eating?
A. I mostly like to eat homemade foods that include rice, fish, bread, vegetables, curry, sweetmeats, noodles, salads,
Sandwiches and cheeses. Among restaurant and street foods I mostly like pizza, hamburger, fried fish and sushi.
Q. What are some kinds of food you never eat? Why?
A. There are some foods that I have tried once or twice and then never tried again since I did not like them at all. Food
3. 8/26/2019 IELTS Speaking Sample 20
https://www.ielts-mentor.com/speaking-sample/469-ielts-speaking-sample-20 3/6
items that are on my hate list are bread rolls, banana pudding, kachumbari, Chicken bog and Steak and kidney pie. In
fact, I did not like the taste of these items when I first tried them. Ever since those items were on my dislike list and I
never tried them.
Q. Do you generally prefer to eat at home or at a restaurant? Why?
A. I usually prefer homemade foods. My mother is an excellent cook and I am concerned about the quality of foods we
eat at outside. A modest meal in a quality restaurant is also very expensive in my city. For all these reasons I mostly
prefer to eat home-made foods.
Q. What are some reasons that people eat at restaurants?
A. Social gathering, a variation of taste, different menu, fondness of exotic foods and access to ready-made foods are
the main reason people eat in a restaurant. Eating in a restaurant offers a better environment, opportunity to meet
people and to taste foods that are not usually cooked at home. Many people also eat at a restaurant to celebrate
different events and to meet friends and relatives there.
Q. Describe a popular food in your country? Why do people like this food?
A. Soup is a very popular food item in my country. In fact, we have a rich tradition of serving a variety of soups to our
guests. The ingredients are easy to purchase from nearby shops, it is easy to prepare and it is healthy. For all these
reasons soup has become a very popular food item among people in my country.

Part 3: Details Discussion:
Q. What kind of person makes a good teacher?
A. First of all, the person who has the passion for teaching would naturally become a good teacher. It is true for any
other profession as well. Then deep subject knowledge, patience, rhetoric power, ability to convince and argue, fine
interaction quality and good behaviours are some key points to become a good teacher. A good teacher inspires pupils

and set examples for them. Finally, a person with compassion, ability to understand others’ psychology often excels as
a good teacher.
Q. Why people choose to become teachers?
A. For some people, it is their dream and passion to become a teacher. For others, it is just a job and they are teachers
because they have not got any other better professions. For others, teaching is a noble profession and they never
leave this profession even though they can switch their jobs. In many societies, people honour and respect those who
are in the teaching profession and that is why many people choose to become teachers.
Q. Do you think education will change in the future? How?
A. Though the core value and norm of education will always remain the same – to enlighten people, the form and
system of education change over time. In the future technology would be greatly used to teach, learn and assess
students in educational institutes and distance learning would be very popular among students. More subjects would
be introduced and more technical and technological subjects would emerge. Practical experience in studies would be
given more priority in the near future.
The traditional classroom-based education would be replaced in some places with the computer and the Internet-
based education system and more students would pursue their education from foreign universities and colleges than
they do now.
Q. How does technology affect education?
A. Technology has already been adopted in many educational institutes as it makes the process of learning and
teaching easier and more convenient. Technology will replace some traditional ways of teaching and would make
online classes and online assessment more popular. Students can access to a vast amount of information related to
their subjects through the internet and can read e-books.
The time required to take examination and classes has greatly reduced and teachers now connect to their students via
the internet. Online courses, online teaching, online registration and certification have changed the way people used to
study in the past.
In my opinion, technology offers a huge flexibility and advancement in education and we have already started
accepting these benefits.
Q. Who do you should be responsible for teaching manners and good behaviour to young children - parents
or teachers? Why?
A. Well, this is an interesting question. For some reason, I think family is the best place to learn good behaviours. In
fact, it is the responsibility of parents to teach manners and good behaviours to their offspring. Before attending any
academic institution, the children spend most of the time with their parents at home. So, I think this is the best time for
them to learn good manners. And the teachers are responsible to nurture the manners to be used perfectly in the real-
life situation. But if we rely on teachers alone, undoubtedly the young children will learn less than they are expected.
Q. What modern techniques teachers should teachers adopt to make the teaching more fun and intuitive,
especially for children?
A. Ahhh… Everything is changing in this modern era and similarly, the traditional ways of teaching have lost its appeal
to students. Hence, the teachers should focus on some other aspects to make teaching more fun for children.

Replacing the textbooks with multimedia slides may be an interesting way. Addition of graphical images or audio-visual
documentation of the text or to represent some topics or information may provide some better results in teaching.
Adopting some recreational activities during the class hours may also have some good results. This way students will
not feel bored, rather get interested in the classes.
