Did anyone watch Star Trek Insurrection? Not a good movie, but an interesting premise: a species has advanced technology, but reject its use to live simpler lives.

No one can deny that technology has enabled us to do things more quickly and efficiently. Most of us can name the benefits of digital technology and other mechanical contraptions. But what are some of the things that had to be sacrificed along the way? One thing I can think of is the art of communication -- both written and spoken. My father, and many people I know from his generation, used to have such beautiful handwriting. During my school days, my own handwriting used to be decent. But after all these years working on the word-processor I, too, seem to have lost it. Writing with the pen is no longer something that is comfortable and natural as it used to be. And I notice people nowadays are speaking the way they write -- in codified language! -

Just keep encouraging her and bear in mind there will be occasions when she does not score as well. Everyone has \"off days\", even the best.

Ask to see how their lessons are structured, and decide what you like better. You can ask about the teacher assigned to the class you intend to register for, but they will usually only know if the class is already up and running.
HI,
Can I check which will be a better enrichment center to start with TLL or TWC for a P2? anything to look out when check out from the center? -
RE: Recommend a portable hard disk
It would be much better to use a solid state drive (SSD) than a mechanical drive.
SSDs have no moving parts, and can’t be broken on impact. Prices have also dropped.
The Samsung T5 is highly recommended and can be powered directly from the USB port. -

A score over 30 would be above average.
For upper primary / Psle std, what is considered an above avg mark for compo?
32 would be considered good, and anything above it excellent.
Rarely do teachers give a score above 35. -

This is true. If he can stay at that level, he is doing the right thing. Teachers in general do not give 20/20 scores, no matter how good the work, as there is always room for development.
I personally feel that being able to maintain at 18/20 is already a great feat. Usually teachers will not give a 20/20 unless the essay is unique yet to the topic, with good vocab and grammar.TanKK82\" post_id=\"1910999\" time=\"1558202480\" user_id=\"177709:
