Stressed at home?

 Stressed at home? Too many homework to be finished? The pandemic may affect us in the way we do our daily routine. Here's some of the tips that would hopefully help you out: 

1. Set a goal

What do you want to achieve today? Do you want to complete your Math homework? Or help cook for dinner? Set a goal, but don't try to put too much things to be done! Just put around 3-5 activities for a day.

2. Organise yourself

Some of you may have done this, but it is good to have a simple timetable to keep you focused. Have a simple morning, afternoon and evening routine. You may discuss with your parents on what you will be doing throughout the week. Plan ahead.

3.Take a break!

Too many tasks at hand? Take a break once in a while. Watch your latest cartoon episodes or play a little game. Just make sure that you don't take it too long!

4. Exercise

Even though you can't go outside to play, you can still do exercises at home. Stretch up a bit, or just do a simple warm up. If you can't do it at home, go for a jog! Make sure you follow the SOP.

5. Reward yourself

If you have completed your goals, reward yourself with some snacks or free time! Negotiate with your parents, but don't do this always. It is just something to keep you motivated. Maybe you can get them after a few days of completing your goals.

6. Keep in touch 

Always talk to your family and friends, especially if you are having problems. Spend more time with your family and do activities with them. This will create a bond  between the both of you.

Is, isn't... are, aren't

 

Is he playing badminton? No he isn't

isn't comes from the word is not. aren't comes from the word are not.

Sometimes, instead of saying he is, we can say he's. 

 Let's look at the table below and look at what the words mean. 

👨✅	is
😟❌	isn't
👦👧✅	are
😞🙍❌	aren't

 
*after using one of these you need to add -ing to the next action word (playing , jumping, eating)

Examples:

Singular 👧

1. Shahirah isn't playing netball. She's playing volleyball.

2. Rosie isn't singing. She's dancing.

Plural 👧👧

1. Muammar and Rifqi aren't reading. They're writing.

2. Aqashah and Irfan aren't swimming. They're fishing.

*Remember to use capital letters and full stop when you write a sentence.
