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."

"Child development is a dynamic, interactive process. Every child is unique in interacting with the world around them, and what they invoke and receive from others and the environment also shape how they think and behave. Children growing up in different cultures receive specific inputs from their environment. For that the reason is there’s a vast array of cultural differences in children’s beliefs and behavior."

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."

Creating a Story Framework

Stories are not just sequences of events—they have to go somewhere. Any good story begins with a character who wants something. The story describes the character’s journey toward getting what he or she wants . . . or not. (Stories don’t have to have happy endings, only satisfying ones.)

Keep your character’s struggle to get something he desperately wants in mind as you build your story framework by answering these questions.

  • Who is my main character? What is he like in his ordinary life?
  • What does he want? Is there an extraordinary event that calls him to action?
  • What is he willing to do to get what he wants?
  • How do the character’s flaws prevent him from achieving his goal?
  • What obstacles, internal or external, thwart him?
  • Does he finally overcome the obstacles or is he unable to succeed?
  • How is the character changed as a result of the struggle?
How To Write A Great Story?

Now that’s a little bit more complicated. No, it’s not hard or “impossible”, but you are going to use your brain for this. You’re ready? Let’s get started!

STEP 1: CHOOSE THE MAIN CHARACTER

STEP 2: ADD MORE CHARACTERS

STEP 3: WRITE THE OUTLINE

STEP 4: FILL IN THE STORY

STEP 5: EDIT YOUR MASTERPIECE

How to Write a Story: Four Valuable Tips

Now that you understand the framework for writing a story, these tips will help you make it great.

1. Where is your story taking place?

The details may be just for atmosphere (a bookstore where two people meet and begin a whirlwind romance), or they can play a major role (a mountaintop from which a volcanologist is trying to escape because the volcano he’s been studying has suddenly roared to life).

2. Your character can’t be perfect.

Perfect people don’t exist, and if they did, they’d be interminably dull. Give your character flaws that will both help us relate to her as a human being and increase the story’s tension as the conflict builds.

3. Your character has to feel some discomfort.

His struggles are what makes him relatable. Whatever he’s competent at, throw the opposite at him. If he’s a cocky rock guitarist with a skyrocketing career trajectory, make his arrogance the cause of an accident that injures his hand, causing permanent damage. How will he react? How will he change? The answer is your story.

4. Whatever you’re working on, finish it.

Get the first draft on paper. Only when you’ve written from beginning to end can you begin the work of rewriting and editing. When you’ve tweaked the story for plot and substance, you can use the best grammatical techniques to help you fine-tune.

The five parts are:

  • Introduction/Beginning
    This is the introduction to the world of the story and the main character(s)
  • Build up
    These are the events that interrupt this everyday world, a rising tension that leads us to…
  • Problem/Dilemma/Climax
    The main obstacle in the story, whether that’s a big baddie or monster, or just a personal problem like shyness or fear
  • Resolution
    What happens after the big climax? Did the character(s) overcome it? How have they/their situation changed?
  • Ending
    Telling or implying the moral or meaning of the story as it finishes
