Translation jobs are undertaken by professional translators who are well versed with at least two languages.Translation can work at two levels: inter-state or regional language translation and inter-national or foreign language translation. Some forms of parent involvement with the school such as communications with school, volunteering, attending school events and parent--parent connections appeared to have little effect on student achievement, especially in high school.

How To Pass Examsby A K WhiteheadIn modern society passing educational examinations becomes an increasingly important and essential means to a better job and improved living standards. The structure and nature of all examinations are things we cannot change to suit ourselves. Hence we need to find ways of dealing effectively with them - ways of making their systems and requirementsactually work for us.There are ways of doing this and the following can be successfully used by anyone studying for any examinations because exams usuallyhave certain key common elements. Check Out The SyllabusAs an examinee, you have to abide by certain rules and constraints.The time length of the exam, how many question you have to answer, and so forth. But the examiners also have to abide by certain rules - and they cannot change them (at least not without adequate notice) any more than you can! They have to publish a syllabus for every examination and they can onlyask questions on what is contained within that syllabus. Once you know the syllabus, you know where the starting and finishing lines are and how far you have to runMoreover, all parts of the syllabus are not equal: some parts of it are more equal than others. Some topics will hardly ever be questionedwhile others will come up every year. Highlight the syllabus using two colours: red, say, for those areas that come up very frequently; greenfor those which rarely come up. Do this only after a systematicinspection of past exam papers, as the next section will explain.Then use a third colour to highlight those (hopefully very few) partsof the syllabus which you have really serious difficulty with. Providingthese parts are not numerous, and depending on how often they come up, it may be possible to leave them on one side. But do usesense and judgement in doing this!Whatever You Are Studying, First Study The Exam PapersStudying past examination papers is almost as crucial as studying the subject you have chosen! Get hold of as many past papers as you can. The more you have the better you will be able to discern any patterns. Draw up a grid on A4paper. Divide the top horizontally into years - as many as you havepast papers for plus one for the year in which you are goingto sit the exam Divide the lefthand vertical into as many subject areasas seems appropriate from your inspection of the syllabus and pastexam papers. Do this very careful and only after you have become very familiar with the exam topics. Also, make allowance for anycoupling of topics because sometimes examiners like to link one topic with another. If you have, say, a dozen past papers and a particularlinking has only come up once, you are probably save to forget it. Butif it has occurred, say, three or four times it needs to go down.So now you have large set of cells, each of which relates to a particularyear and to a specific topic. Place a cross in each cell for the year in whicha given topic has come up. If there is a pattern, and very often there is,you will soon see it. The relative frequency with which the various topic come up will now be easy to see.It is not that examiners are doing a parallel kind of exercise to determinethe structure of the next examination they set. They might well be unaware of the kinds of patterns we are talking about. But examiners do have atleast a mental scheduling of the relative importance of particular topicsand an impression of what have been chosen recently.Now use the spare column on the right-hand side, which relates to the year you are going to sit the exam, to mark those subject areaswhich seem most likely to come up this next time. These are the oneswhich you need to spend extra time on. The other areas need to be covered as well, but your projections need special care and attention.In the case of some examinations such a pattern may not seem toemerge. But often it will. In any case, it is worth the investment of time to find out, and whether it does or not it would be foolish notto inspect as many past papers as possible. You need to see how thequestions are phrased, how they are divided, sometimes even subdivided,whether there are any special conditions imposed, such as papers whichare divided into different sections with different lengths of time allowedfor each, and so forth.Overall, many students just seem to accept the constraints of an examination system as a barbed wire fence they can do nothing about. But the foregoing might just give you a set of wire cutters!Words = 860 Article Tags: Past Papers
