The word came in use but the origin became popular in the 1930's.

The highs and lows.

Studing in the Uk has always been my dream, so it was a dream come true for me when i arrived the UK, with the nice evironment very conducive for studies and coupled with the nice and friendly people around, it was splendid.

However, my joy and exictement were interupted by some factors i later come to know as "critical incident'. I started expriencing some difficulties for instance the food, the food here is very different and trying to make my own type of food i could not get the ingridients, it took me alittle while before i got use to the food and also the cold weather, which is quite different from my country. Then i also had to make new friends that was not much of a problem because i am good at making new friends.

All in all, at a point i knew i had to grab the bull by the horn and take hold of the suituation, so i began to tackle one problem at a time, and so far as i can say it is working for me because i seems to be doing well right now and the journey i know will be worth the miles.

Referendum

On the 3 of March 2011 question was asked in the National Assembly of wales for those who are for or against the Welsh Assembly now to be able to make laws on all matters in the 20 subject areas it has power for. Votes were casted.  Results.
63.5% of people voted yes in the Assembly.
36.5% of people voted no in the Assembly.
Needless to say that the majority carried the vote.
So it was approved.

Now Welsh government can now be able to make laws on all subjects in the 20 devolved areas without first needing the agreement of th UK government. However the non-devolved areas for exa,ple defence and taxation, still remains the responsibility of the UK government.

Reflection on the presentation.

    The prensentation went fine but i still have to work on a few things. Firstly i did not reference my PPT slides but now i have got a clue on how to reference the PPT slides.
   Secondly, i will have to make more eye contact to the audience, for a better communication, i also have to do more of the body language.
 I also have to edit the words in my presentation, that is the capital letters and the red line.
                      
                                                Time Management
Anther important aspect when it comes to PPT is time management. I really have to work on my time management to make my PPT slides equal to the time of my presentation.To avoid finishing before my thing or still oresenting when the time is up.

Difference between education system in th Uk and in Nigeria.

    Education system varies from one country to another, each country of the world adapts the system of education which suits them.this blog will focus on the diferencem between the education system in the Uk and in Nigeria.
    Looking at education system in the Uk, education is compulsory for the age bracket of 5-16 years. It is also the age for entry and exit into the pre-higher education.The pre-higher education comprises of primary and secondary education.The primary education is often the combination of junior and infact school while usually last for 4years while secodary school often lasts a period of 5years in which General certificate of Secondary Education(GCSE) exam will be taken before entering into the higher education, so in the Uk pre-higher education is usually finished between the 16 and 18.  Euroeducation.net(2011). 
     Pupils in a music class in uk   tisc.co.uk(2011)     
    Nevertheless the education system in Nigeria is closely thesame being that Nigeria adapted the British system of education.however some difference still arises when taken a close look, like in Nigeria it can be argued that there is no such thing as compulsory education.children strats primary school at the age of 5-6 which often lasts for a period of 6years before heading to secondary school which often covers a period of another 6years.

    Inconclusion British system of education can be said to almost thesame with the system of education in Nigeria given tha Nigeria adapted the British system of education.

The people that live in the uk.

                                                 
     Uk which means United kingdom is made up of four nations namely England, Scotland, wales and northern Ireland.They are also known as The Great Britian. This eassy will focus on the people who live in britian.
     Uk has a pou;ation of about 60,776,238(July 2007). English are often used wrongly to generalize the people from britian, English is a person from England, Scotish is a person from Scotland while people from Wales and Northern Ireland are known as Welsh and Irish respectively. The Britian are so a multicultural society. Due to the combinations of many immigrants and many ethnic groups they terms to be diversed in cultural aspects.
        From http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/resources/global-etiquette/UK.html
     people of uk can not be discussed without coming across the word DEVOLUTION, According to professor Vernon Bogdamor(Oxford university press, 1979) devolution is ''...the dispersal of power from a superior to an inferior political authority..''.ater of many years of being under the Uk goverment, in 1997 Wales got approval to establish there own goverment , while Scotland got theirs around the year 1999.
