How well do I use Word and Excel

Word and Excel are the programs, which everyone should know. When I was asked about my knowledge of these programs in the beginning of the year, I answered that I use them totaly bad. Because of this fact I face a lot of problems not only on lessons of Computer Skills. When I try to do something in these programs it takes me really much time. I get nervious because of it. Now I try to improve my knowledge of computer,and first of all, I practice on these programs.

Flyer and brochure I made.

On one lesson of Study Skills we told to create a flyer. First of all, I didn't know what was it and how could I do that. To tell honestly I didn't about such program as Publisher. When I opened this program everything became more clear for me. With help of my friends I started working, and learned almost all tools of the program. It was really interesting and useful for me. The next lesson we were told to make a brochure about IELTE. Our teacher added some necessary pictures to make our brochures beautiful. We also wrote some information about IELTE in it. At the end of the lessons we could watch others' brochures: all of them were beautiful. I liked these lessons very much, because they were not only interesting, but very helpfull and useful.

My test taking experience.

Test taking is one of the most problematic thing in study proccess. We learn new information and then take tests to indentify quality of our knowledge. I got my best test taking experience on the previous year when I was prepairing to my entering exams.In addition to techniques, that my teachers tought my, I knew something new.

Making a good presentation.

How to make a nice presentation? How to speak and how to behave yourself on it? On one of our lesson of Study Skills these questions were answered. The lesson was organized in unusual way: we walked around the classroom, on walls of which were stuck pieces of whold material about presentation. Our teacher used the Locy method and it really helped. The information was provided with funny pictures, which helped me to remember the material. Lots of advices were included in this material. For example, how to use some techniques to get attention of the audience, how to answer the questions politely, and how to behave yourself in proper way. There were some phrases with which we should start and finish presentation to make it interesting and well-organized. After reading the information we were given cards with common mistakes in making presentation. To conclude I want to say that this lesson was very usefull,and handouts we were given after that are still very helpful.

Excelent presentation.

Our last lesson was very interesting!We had a topic "presentation".As we are living in 21st century and studying in university we must know how to make a good presentation.We learned some rules,which will help a lot in our future studying.There was a lot of advices also.For example some words and phrases that we should use in our presentation.We knew,that the way we speak is also very important.While making presentation we should speak clear and polite.If some of listeners have any question,we should answer them,trying to make it clear.Using visual aind is also necessary.It will save time.I'd like to make presentation about my hometown Samarkand using these rules.

American Civil War sarted from dicloration about abolishing slavery made by Abraham Linkoln.As is South America were a lot of plantations,there worked great amount of slaves.That's why plantators started to fight agains abolishing of slavery.First Battle of Bull Run happend on July 1861.It finished with victory of Confedetion(South)under Thomas Jonathan,who was named "Stonewall Jackson".Confederation attaced union 3 times.Victories of generals "Stonewall"Jackson,and by Robert's Lee army at Second Battle of Manassas push federals (North) back to the Washington.The final action of the year ends in Federal disaster when McClellan's successor,major general Ambrose E.Burnside,threw his army against Lee's near Fredericksburg,Virginia.This battle was bloodiest one of the war.In 1865 corfederation went back.Richmond fell Lee's surrender on April 9.It was the end of Confederation.

Making presentation.

For me it's not easy to make presentation.But while making it for Integrated and study skills I learnt something about PowerPoint presentation.We were explaind same main steps,and it wasn't too difficult.Of cause I know not all tools to work in PowerPoint,but I think I can do simple presentation with using pictures and music on it.
