Tips for parents to handle students giving crucial exams:- Exams are only a small part of life. Do not make it bigger than it is. Know your kids and their capabilities well. Do not expect them to do better than their capabilities. Be pragmatic, practical and stay calm and composed. Do not keep harping on studying all the time. Your kids have a break point too. Allow them to take small breaks in between studies. Allow your kids to be open to you. Let them talk to you of their anxieties and fears, reassure them and show them how to overcome them. If you find yourself incapable then seek the help of a helpline or counsellor. Do not shout, scold or reprimand your kids or compare their performance in exams or studies with those who do better than them. Treat your child as a unique individuaL and respect him/her for that individuality. Reason with them. Be creative in assigning punishments. Make sure your kids have healthy nutritious and light meals- lots of fruits and vegetables. Avoid gi...

   Some facts about the planet, second in sequence from the Sun in Solar system, the Venus. Very few of us show interest in Venus, but it is a very mysterious planet in the Solar system, once you know those facts you will also be attracted to the Venus. 1) Mercury is closest to the sun, this is true. However, because of its proximity to the sun it lacks an atmosphere. Mercury's gaseous molecules reached escape velocity long ago and the atmosphere was 'burned off' leaving a vacant wasteland of rock with a similar surface to the earth's moon. There is nothing to hold in solar radiation, thus is flies out into space. Venus is a different story. Its atmosphere is primarily composed of more than 96% of carbon dioxide - the primary green house gas, which acts like a one-way door. The solar heat enters, but it cannot leave. Thus, an oven is created and create a temperature of 735K (462℃; 863°F) on its surface. This is why Venus has no water. Pictures suggest that Venus o...

The main function of red blood cells is the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the body's cells. Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin that actually carries that oxygen. In capillaries, oxygen is released to be used by the body's cells. Ninety-seven percent of the oxygen carried by the blood from the lungs is carried through hemoglobin. The other 3 percent is dissolved in the plasma. Hemoglobin allows blood to move 30 to 100 times more oxygen than could possibly be dissolved in the plasma alone. In the lungs, where the oxygen level is high, hemoglobin combines loosely with oxygen. The hemoglobin then easily releases that oxygen into the capillaries, where the oxygen level is low. In each molecule of hemoglobin there are four iron atoms. Each iron atom binds with one molecule of oxygen. The iron in hemoglobin is what gives blood its red color. Thirty-three percent of a red blood cell is hemoglobin. The normal concentration of hemoglobin is 15.5 grams per decili...

   The words this, that, those, that, so, the same, one, when used alone are Demonstrative Pronouns ; when used with nouns, they are adjectives (So can not be used as an adjective). This (or that) is my house. Such (=what was suggested) was not my object. What I mean is this. These are called Demonstrative Pronouns as they point out some objects to which they refer. Some examples and their uses are given below:    This and these refer to something that is near to the speaker in position, time or thought; that and those denoting something being more distant.

            Beauty You may have a beautiful face, You may belong to the beautiful race; You may have sophisticated ideas, You may have two eyes And one fairest nose But I can not give you the rose, My darling; As you may be a fair lady But so as the rose; You may give me few love dose But so does the rose; As you will be an unholy woman With the touch of an unexpected man; Such will be the flower With the touch of mine or any stranger; And then if I take it away from its mother, Its beauty will heave to And it will reject to live too Likewise you are beautiful to all, So does the flower posses thus charm, Then why take his fairness away And do such harm?

XV in the British Museum), containing Beowulf and Judith and is to be dated c. 1000; (b) the Junius MS. (MS.

English was not that original language of England. It was first brought to England in the 5th and 6th centuries A.D., by seafaring people from Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. The seafaring people spoke a number of languages. However, these languages were quite similar to each other. In some time, the people from Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands settled down in England. Their languages mixed with each other and gradually became one language. This language began to develop its own features by 600 A.D. it had developed into what we call Old English. People from most parts of England started to use this language. The English that we use now has taken several hundred years to grow from Old English.
