Write an essay describing what you think would help your relationship with your parents. 

You could write about:

 x how parents think they’re always right 

x need to communicate together 

x need to give me some leeway 

x must show me trust

Sample essay: 

 The strongest bond of love is that between parents and children, but this can sometimes have negative consequences. Because of their great love, parents are over-protective and want to do everything for their children, including thinking for them.

 This is how my parents see things and this leads them to believe that they know what’s best for me. They, like all parents, think they’re always right. This shows that we need to learn to communicate, and they must learn to listen to what I have to say. The best thing they can do is give me some leeway to make my own mistakes and to learn from them.

 It is important for me to feel that they trust me to do what’s right. To feel loved is very important, but it must be in combination with trust and communication.

Write an article for your school newspaper about why you think it is unethical to steal. 

You could write about: 

x how stealing raises prices 

x how it’s not fair that other consumers suffer because some people shoplift 

x how someone can be caught and his future ruined 

x how it’s not the right thing to do

Sample article: 

  We are all raised to know what’s right and what’s wrong and we all know that shoplifting is wrong. So why do so many people do it? 

  They never stop to think that when stores lose money because of shoplifting, they will raise prices to make up the loss. This is not fair to the average consumer. More importantly, and this applies mainly to young people, they don’t think about what will happen if they are caught. One little episode could affect their whole future if they have a police record. This could follow them the rest of their lives. 

  Since we all know the problems involved with shoplifting, we should face this problem with maturity, and when someone suggests a shoplifting trip to the stores, point out the ethical and practical problems involved.

Dance United is pleased to announce its Stage 1 Training Course is coming to Aberdeen, Scotland, this August.

Stage 1 Training Course: An introduction to Dance United’s methodology and practice in social inclusion The Lemon Tree Studio Theatre, 5 West North Street, Aberdeen, AB24 5AT Tuesday 21st to Friday 24th August 2012 £175 (£200 for those who wish to be registered for the NOCN qualification)

Dance United’s four-day training course looks at how to deliver high quality contemporary dance when working with challenging groups in the community. The main focus of this practical training course is the relationship between pro-active dance-based strategies that can be embedded into a dance methodology and reactive non-dance strategies that, together, can successfully resolve challenging behaviour, resistance and non-engagement within participant groups.

The course will run 10am to 4:30pm daily, beginning with a contemporary class to introduce participants to Dance United’s work and repertoire. Lunch, tea and coffee will be provided.

Dance United’s Stage 1 Training course is accredited by the National Open College Network (NOCN). Those who complete the course may be awarded with a Level 3 Unit in Social Inclusion Practice in Dance (Credit Value: 3) by NOCN if they register beforehand.

Please contact Hayley Durward, Dance Development Officer at Citymoves Dance Agency in Aberdeen for more information regarding fees, booking and venue. [email protected]
