Although my group was not excellent but I have fun. I am also be more confident to act. Beside that, other group were excellent. They did well and their musical was fun and funny.

                 Hours spent on activities by different age groups in Someland

The table shows the hours spent on activities like watching television or video, socialising with four or less people, socialising with four or more people, doing individual exercise, doing group exercise or sport and watching movies in cinemas by different age groups from teens to 70s+ in Someland.

The activity of socialising with four or more people is decreasing from 350 for teens until 25 for 70s+.

For teens, watching television or video has the highest hours spent because they like to watch entertainment programmes. However, from age 20s to 30s the hours spent has decreased because they are too busy with their works, but climbing back from age 40s to 70s.

On the other hand, doing group exercise or sport decline from teens to 70s+. This is cause by the ageing process that occurs to human being that leads to the declination in joining outdoor activities.


Based on the table, we can conclude that when we become older, we will do less outdoor activities because our body become weak as we do not have enough energy to do more activity. Government should organize a campaign such as “10,000 steps a day” to encourage community to join other outdoor activities.

Hours spent on activities by different age group in Someland

The table represents the hours spent on activities by different age group from teens to 70s and above in Someland. The hours spent on doing two out of all the activities shows a decreasing rate while the rest shows a fluctuating rate. (OV + CI)
The time spent on watching television slumped significantly at 30s, where it then rose at 40s+. Due to work commitments, no spare time is allocated for entertainments. (KF 1)
However, the time used on socialising with four or more people dropped by 93% with a constant rate along the age groups, as their responsibilities increases, lesser hours are spent on leisure. (KF 2)
Individual exercise shows the most inconsistent rate, from dropping by 50 at 20s to rising by 100 at 40s to falling by 150 at 50s, it then shot back up by 100 at 70s. Health issues based on old age might be the cause of the sudden boomed in hours. (KF 3)
The table indicates the reducing number of people doing group exercise from teens to 60s and above. The higher the age group the lesser the activities are carried out due to health restrictions. Government can alter this statistics by advertise the benefits of exercise through mass media. (Pi + Pii)

Finding main idea...4/1/2012

Today Miss Zu wanted to check our files. My file was not complete. When she checked, Miss Zu a little bit upset and not satisfied with our files. So, she asked us to complete it and don't make her angry. Then, we learned about finding main idea. We have to find main idea in passages.


lThe main idea of a passage is the thought that is present from the beginning to the end.
lIn finding the main idea, ask yourself these:
What idea is common to most of the text?
What is the idea that relates the parts to the whole?
What opinion do all the parts support?
 
 
 Paragraphs usually have 2 types of sentences: 
           -a topic sentence, which contains the main idea, and
        -one or more detail sentences which support, prove, provide more information,  explain, or give examples.
 
 
Rules for Finding the Topic Sentence
1. The topic sentence is usually first, but could be in any position in the paragraph.
2. A topic is usually more "general" than the other sentences, that is, it talks about many things and looks at the big picture. Sometimes it refers to more that one thing. Plurals and the words "many", "numerous", or "several" often signal a topic sentence.
 3. Detail sentences are usually more "specific" than the topic, that is, they usually talk about one single or small part or side of an idea. Also, the words "for example", "i.e.", "that is", "first", "second", "third", etc., and "finally" often signal a detail.
4. Most of the detail sentences support, give examples, prove, talk about, or point toward the topic in some way.

IMPLIED MAIN IDEA
lSome paragraphs have no topic sentence.
lThis does not mean that there is no main idea in the paragraph.
lWhen a paragraph has no topic sentence, the supporting details suggest the main idea.
lThe main idea is implied, or unstated, which means that you have to figure it out by yourself.
