Whether you’re a teacher or someone who’s looking to share some knowledge with people of an older generation, knowing how to teach older adults is a specific kind of skill. While children seem to soak up every bit of information they can, teaching something new to older adults can present a different type of challenge. Luckily, anyone can learn something new, as long as they have the right mindset and the right teacher.

So to help you in becoming the right teacher, here are three tips for teaching something to an older generation, be it your own grandparents or a friend in a senior living community. 

Go Low And Slow

As people age, their ability to hear can be compromised. This can make hearing well enough to learn something new a difficulty. But if you know this as a teacher, you can find ways to work around this. 

To do this, you’ll want to go low and slow when you’re teaching your older students. If you can, try to make your voice a bit deeper when you’re talking, as these tones are usually easier for older ears to pick up on. Additionally, if you’re used to speaking fast, you’ll want to be sure that you slow down when speaking to older students. Give them time in between what’s being taught so that they can really hear and understand before you move onto something new. 

Find Ways To Apply What They’re Learning

For younger students, connections in the brain between what’s being taught and what they already know can happen almost automatically. But for older students who maybe haven’t been taught in a more formal setting in a while, you might need to find ways to help them make these connections.

One of the best ways to do this is to help them find ways to apply that they’re learning. If you’re able to, try to use their personal life experiences to help them see the new things they’re learning in a more familiar way. This can help make the entire process much easier to manage. 

Encourage Them To Ask Questions

Many older students grew up in a time where asking questions of their teacher wasn’t something that was encouraged. Because of this, you might find that some of your older students won’t stop you with questions, even if they have them. 

To overcome this, try to think of ways that you can encourage your older students to ask questions. Try to discuss with them what you’re teaching to see if you can suss out where gaps might still exist. And if you can, try to stop for questions at very regular intervals so that you don’t get too far ahead while previous principles still aren’t being grasped. 

If you’re going to be teaching something to an older demographic soon, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you do so successfully. 

While it’s always good to stretch your mind and learn something new in life, doing this can get harder and harder as you get older. But, unlike the old adage, you can teach an old dog new tricks. However, you might have to go about it in a different way.

If you’re a little older and are wanting to learn something new, be it a new game to play with the other residents at your assisted living facility or a new form of technology, here are three tips for learning something new at an old age. 

Make Sure You’re Getting Enough Sleep

At any age, it’s good to prepare yourself mentally and physically before you’re going to be learning something new. This is why people always stress kids going to bed early before they go to school in the morning, and the same principle applies to older adults as well. 

If you’re not getting enough sleep or you’re trying to learn something when you’re feeling particularly tired, your brain isn’t going to work as well as it should. Rather, you should wait to learn something complicated until you’ve been well rested. 

If there is some type of time crunch, even just taking a nap before and after learning something new has also been known to help people cognitively. 

Work On Your Diet And Exercise, Too

Your body can have a big impact on your mind. So if you’re going to be working your mind hard by learning something new, you’re going to want to ensure that your body is ready to put in some extra work as well.

To make this happen, you’ll need to consistently have a healthy diet and exercise regimen that you follow. In fact, it’s been shown that people who exercise regularly are better able to think about new things that they have learned and remember new concepts as well. And if you’re eating a healthy diet, you can see even more improvement than just with exercise alone. 

Commit To Making A Consistent Effort

Learning something new is never going to be easy, regardless of how old you are. But if you’re really wanting to learn how to do something new or understand a concept that is new to you, you’re really going to need to commit to giving a consistent effort into learning this thing. This can be done by devoting a certain amount of time each day to learning. And when you’re able to do this, you’ll likely be able to see improvement and progress much sooner than you would have if you only worked hard on learning in bursts. 

If you’re wanting to learn something new, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you see how this can be done despite how old you may be now. 

If you’re seeking to improve your cooking skills in the coming year, you might be unsure about where to start and what abilities you should focus on in order to really become a better cook. Luckily, even if you only have the most basic knowledge of cooking to begin with, by doing a little better in just a few areas, you should be able to become a markedly better cook.

To help you see how this can be done, here are three tips for learning how to become a better cook. 

Taste Your Food More

One thing that many beginning cooks or cooks without a lot of experience forget to do while cooking is to taste their food. But regardless of the quality of the kitchen in your home, every person who cooks can and should be tasting their food while they cook. 

By tasting as you go, you can see while you’re in the middle of cooking if there’s something that’s amiss in your dish. This way, you can make adjustments as you go along so that your final product will be as delicious as possible. 

As you taste your food while cooking, make sure you’re keeping an eye on how much salt there is in the dish as well as how much spice you’ve added and the acidity level. All of these things need to be at the right level for your food to taste as good as you can get it. 

Become Familiar With Flavor Combinations

While you might know that there are specific dishes and flavors that you like, what you may not realize is that there are specific flavor combinations that generally go well together and that are used for specific types of cuisine. Once you know what these are, you can make food that will always taste good and that can hearken back to whatever type of food you’re seeking to make.

For example, if you’re wanting to make Italian food, you’ll want to use a lot of basil, garlic, and tomato. But with Japanese foods, using sake, mirin, and soy sauce can give it that traditional Japanese flavor. 

Invest In A Quality Meat Thermometer

One of the hardest things about cooking meat is knowing when it’s ready to eat. If you don’t have a quality meat thermometer, you really have to go by look and time. But these things can be deceiving. So rather than checking on your meat in this way, using a meat thermometer can help you see exactly when your meat is done without it being undercooked or overcooked. And when you’re making a dish that relies on meat, this can make a huge difference. 

If you’re wanting to learn how to become a better cook, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you see how this can be done. 

An 11-year-old girl from Ahmedabad tries to overcome the taboo surrounding menstruation by developing an app allowing females to have greater access to information.

While menstruation is a perfectly normal biological function, it is also a taboo subject in our society for a variety of reasons. Menstruation can be a very difficult time of the month for young girls. Because of the taboos surrounding the subject, it is difficult for young girls who are going through menstruation to find information that would help them comprehend the changes their bodies go through at that time of the month. Aayesha Goyal, an 11-year-old girl from Gujarat’s Ahmedabad, noticed her friends battling with the same problem and decided to create an app called ‘Free Flo,’ which is an easy-to-use, one-stop-destination for vital information on menstruation and also allows girls to track their cycle.

“Young girls often find it very difficult to talk to adults about menstruation,” WhiteHat Jr pupil Aayesha Goyal remarked about the app. Because of the taboo surrounding the subject, they have few opportunities to ask a trusted adult all of their questions about the menstrual cycle. My peers have struggled to understand why their bodies are changing in the way they are. They were curious but didn’t know where to look for answers. In fact, the majority of menstruation apps are oriented toward adult women rather than young girls. That’s how I came up with the idea for an app that would serve as a repository for menstrual health information. I also created extra features, such as tracking period dates and a chatbot to answer questions about menstruation-related symptoms including backache, acne, and cramps.” 

Parna Mehta, Aayesha’s mentor at WhiteHat Jr who supported her while developing the app said, “Aayesha is an extremely perceptive child. She empathized with the problems faced by some of her friends and worked hard to offer a solution. The app ‘Free Flo’ is simple yet extremely interesting as it provides easy access and information to young girls. I am extremely proud to have had the opportunity to guide Aayesha in this purpose-led project.”

The law degree is useful in so many different industries and careers. You can be a classic lawyer or offer counsel for companies. Some lawyers can even take the teaching path or go into politics. However, the truth is that the legal career is not for everyone. With this in mind, here are some very important things you have to be aware of before you start your law career education. 

Corner Offices Are Not Available Right After School

Personal injury attorneys do not immediately start working auto accident cases in Michigan after they get their degree. Divorce attorneys do not go to court fast. The truth is most new lawyers still need extra skills before they get that dream job. 

After law school, you gain all the general knowledge you need to start your career. However, this does not mean you will instantly get a very good income. 

New lawyers are usually legal assistants. Senior lawyers will pass work to them and this is the actual start of the career. 

Many Law Students Are Just Interested In Money

The legal industry is considered by people because of one of 2 reasons in most cases:

• Being an attorney is prestigious. 
• Attorneys make a lot of money. 

Unfortunately, because of the way in which lawyers are portrayed in TV shows, you might get a bad idea of how much you will actually earn, especially when you start out. It takes time to reach a very good income and just around 20% of attorneys actually reach the level most law students imagine. During the first 5 years of your career, you have to be prepared for some potential financial hardship. 

You Will Not Learn How To Get Your Clients

Law school teaches a lot but does not teach you how to find clients. After you get your degree, you need to start looking for clients or you need to get a beginner level job at a law firm. You cannot simply start a law firm and make it your business with a degree. 

Unfortunately, most new lawyers simply do not know how to get their clients as they finish their initial education. They have no idea how to use technology for this purpose or how to do their accounting. They do not even know how to manage or hire people. All of this can lead to struggles. 

It Is Recommended To Find A Senior Attorney To Work For

Some graduates think that they do not have to work under a senior attorney so they avoid this option. This can quickly turn out to be a very big mistake. Senior lawyers have a reputation and they already have a client base. This is useful for the novice attorney as he/she can start working and gaining experience straight away. 

The only problem with working for senior attorneys is that managing partners often do not treat new lawyers right. This is a relationship in which the new lawyer is just there to offer support for the managing partner. While this might not seem great for you, remember that gaining real-world experience is so much more important than anything else as you start your legal career.

Sentences are of different types in English Grammar. They are categorised based on their structure, purpose, behaviour, and function. According to the behaviour of the sentence they are categorised into 4 types.

• Declarative Sentence
• Interrogative Sentence
• Imperative Sentence
• Exclamatory Sentence

These 4 types of sentences behave in different manners and used in different kinds of situations to express someone’s feelings, thought or ideas.

As we know sentences are a group of words that are combined to form a meaning full expression. 

These sentences are a combination of some specific words to represent a particular idea or state of mind.

Let us discuss more on the 1st type of sentence i.e. Declarative Sentence.

As the name says Declarative, from a layman concept we can understand someone is declaring or presenting his/her idea in terms of the sentence.

Declarative sentences are known as the simplest sentence in English Grammar. Sometimes we call it as simple sentence as well.

These sentences are basically statements told or represent by a person which can be true or false.

Declarative sentences are the most used sentence in day to day life in terms of conversations, writings, lectures, and speeches.

Structure of Declarative Sentence

A sentence is a group of words and those words must be placed in a proper way to provide meaning.

As we have already discussed this is the simplest sentence in English Grammar, they have one subject and one predicate.

A declarative sentence ends with a period sign.

In other words, combination of one subject, one predicate and punctuation (period sign) can be called a declarative sentence.

For eg

• I love pasta.
• Sun rises in the east.
• Sky is blue.
• Michael wrote a story.
• This puppy is cute.

In the above example statements, I, Sun, Sky , Michael , This Puppy are subjects and the rest part of the sentence is a predicate. 

All the sentences have period sign at the end and are simple statements we use in day to day life.

Other sentences can have the same structure as a declarative sentence, but the punctuation varies.

In place of period sign sometimes it becomes Question mark? or Exclamation sign.!

Declarative sentences are also known as Assertive Sentence.

The assertive sentence is again categorized into two types depending on the tone or intension behind the sentence.

• Affirmative
• Negative

If we present a statement in a positive tone, then it is said to be an Affirmative Sentence.

If our statement gives a negative idea, then we call it a Negative Sentence.

The same statement can become Affirmative or Negative just changing the voice of the sentence.

• You can trek to the top of the mountain. (Affirmative)
• You cannot trek to the top of the mountain. ( Negative)

Both sentences are declarative and give an idea or opinion.

But the 1st statement is said positively while the second one gives a negative sense.

Let us see some more examples on Declarative sentence combining both Affirmative and Negative Sentence.

1. Harry is captain of our football team. (Affirmative)

2. He cannot handle the team properly. (Negative)

3. I hope she can join us tomorrow. (Affirmative)

4. Corona is a deadly virus. (Affirmative)

5. Samantha is the best student in our class. (Affirmative)
