A Learning World

How Can I Learn From The World Around Me?

I can explore the plants, I can study from other people by looking their attitude and if they are bad I'll be better from them and if they are good I can follow them. I just need more attention to explore. If I don't have any attention I can't study from the world around me.

Exploring the plants is one way. We can explore the plants for solving the problems in the science lesson and to know more about the plants. By looking other people attitude, we will know what is the bad one and what is the good one. If it is bad don't follow it and if it is good we can follow it. Parents always wanted their child could be a good one so they wanted their child see other people attitude. That's same with my parents. They wanted my sister and me to be good ones. So they said to my sister and me to look other people attitude and follow the good ones. So if we want to know more about everything, try to study from the world around us. Put your attention to explore if you want to study from the world around us. That's the end of my article; I hope everybody can study from the world around us.

A Learning World

The phrase, Learning World, to me means a world that you never stop learning from. You may go online, read a book, or ask your parents for information. I learn the most from my teacher, Mrs. Kerry, and from my mom and dad because they are the ones I am around most of the day. The best way to learn is to read interesting books and to ask detailed questions. Asking more questions is one of the ways I might become a better learner. My responsibility is to learn each day and never to forget what I learn. One thing I would like to know more about is a bottlenose dolphin because they are an endangered species.

I recently learned that it is not good to smoke, because you could get a lot of different cancers. Most of my information came to me on the Internet. My parents told me that when you smoke more than once you could get addicted to it. Books told me what kind of cancers you can get and that the problems of smoking go from lung cancer to asthma. I learned on my own that smoking is a bad habit and if a person wants a cigarette for more than an hour and doesn't get one, then that person can get really angry. I learned this from my own observations.

A Learning World

A learning world means to me that this is a world that loves to learn. I learn form the world around me that if I make a mistake I can learn form that mistake. I learn the most at school. To me the best way to learn is to listen, no play around. The thing that would help me learn better would be to listen more to what people say. I could also learn from my mistakes. If I could learn more about anything, it would be monkeys and how they live. Computers have helped me learn more about things than I knew before. They give me lots of information.
