UNIT 2 | Understanding Physical Well Being
"What is wellbeing? Wellbeing is personal and subjective, but it also universally relevant. Wellbeing encompasses the environmental factors that affect us, and the experiences we have throughout our lives. These can fall into traditional policy areas of economy, health, education, and so on. But wellbeing also crucially recognizes the aspects of our lives that we determine ourselves: through our own capabilities as individuals; how we feel about ourselves; the quality of the relationships that we have with other people; and our sense of purpose."

UNIT 3 | Patience
"Patience is the ability to wait calmly for or through something. If it is a virtue, it seems likely that there must be some element of suffering in the waiting, even if the suffering is only boredom and not necessarily physical pain. Some commentators have suggested that patience is not a single virtue, but a combination of others, including: Self-control, to be able to control our own reactions to the situation, and endure it without complaint; Humility, to accept that you are no more important than anyone else, and there is no particular reason why you should not wait; and Generosity, to smile at the world even when it seems to be conspiring against you."

UNIT 6 | Learning Through Personal Interests, Abilities And Hobbies
"I’ve always maintained that the only way to learn something properly is to get out there and do it. No one learned surfing by, pardon the pun, surfing the web. Sportspeople don’t learn new skills and advantages by reading instructions from a book; they train and make mistakes. Hobbies are a fantastic way of learning, simply because people get out there and actually practice their chosen discipline and experience trial and error, whether it is flower arrangers, woodworkers, or people who tinker with old tape players."

About Lesson
Describing an object

Descriptive writing is about using the power of words to arouse the imagination, capture the attention, and create a lasting impact in the mind of the reader. 

Why be Descriptive While Writing?

  • The purpose of descriptive writing is to inspire imagination. When you put your mind into making a piece of writing more descriptive, you automatically begin to pay attention to detail and refine your perception about things. You begin to imagine them as much more than, say a party hat or a hard-bound book. You begin to look at them as a tall, pink, pointed paper hat with tassels, and a book that had a gleaming golden spine and weighed a few good pounds.

  • The next, and probably the most important benefit of descriptive writing is that in the process of trying to make the reader visualize what you want to say, you tend to use more interesting words. You want to convey a mental picture to your reader. So you’re bound to use words that might be unconventional or less used. You will want to find words that exactly describe what you want to say, and will look for different words that mean the same. This will help you suitably build your vocabulary.

  • The success of descriptive writing lies in the details. The more detailed your depiction of a plot or a character or a place is, the more you engross your reader. You become a keen observer and minder of details. You pay attention to the tiniest bits of information and appearance, which in turn helps you transfer the details into your writing.


Good Examples of Descriptive Writing:

Given below is a good piece of descriptive writing;

‘But the door slid slowly open before Lupin could reach it. Standing in the doorway, illuminated by the shivering flames in Lupin’s hand, was a cloaked figure that towered to the ceiling. Its face was completely hidden beneath its hood. Harry’s eyes darted downwards, and what he saw made his stomach contract. There was a hand protruding from the cloak and it was glistening, greyish, slimy-looking, and scabbed, like something dead that had decayed in water…’

– Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling
