Why I Would Make A Great Author

Hi!

Well, I made it through the week of exams- although I did have an interesting Thursday (as predicted...)

But I haven't really done anything but revise for the past week, which is a bit worrying. The date of release is fast approaching and I have so much to do (aghh) and I also have a flute exam next week that I need to practice for.

Yay.

First of all, there is something that I accidentally stumbled upon this morning while poaching eggs for breakfast and it is really, very annoying. Classic english grammar rules- no one says 'an European' because it is actually 'a European'.

Even though 'an' + vowel is grammatically correct.

I hate English.

Also, speaking of language, I've noticed that I've started using French grammar when speaking English.

As in, 'the dog black'.

Which is quite a big problem as I honestly believe it's correct when I say it.

What else do I do?

Oh!

Of course- I often forget words and so have to describe them. Greatest example: "sister, can you get the giant napkin out of the cupboard please?"

In case you didn't realise, a giant napkin is actually a tablecloth.

I'm so great at English, which is always good as I want to be an author and all (and I'm nearly there- yay!!)

Anyway, I have a lot to do today, so have a good one. Make sure that you go outside (for a walk maybe?) if you've been doing exams/revision and drink enough water today, and don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already.

Until next time, stay safe and speak properly. ☺️

Carers Week

Hi everyone! It feels like it's been ages since I last posted anything (or really wrote anything for that matter) but hey, exams! Anyway, this week (11th-17th June) is Carers Week, so I thought that I'd do some raising of awareness for Young Carers. First of all, shout out to my friend for standing up in assembly to talk about this, and for all those who ran the cake stall at school (they raised £69!). She's so amazing, and most of the following information comes from her. There are three main types of care that someone can provide-  physical (e.g helping to get dressed), practical (e.g shopping) and emotional (e.g comforting them if they’re upset or anxious etc). My friend thinks that emotional is probably the hardest to deal with, and it can worry carers a lot, especially when they’re at work or school (is that person ok, has anything happened to them etc), and I have to say that I agree. For young carers, the most common situations are looking after a paren...

I Find Out A Load About The Railway Industry

Image
Heya friends! I've been up to quite a lot recently (including finishing Draft One of my Maths coursework yesssss) and today, I decided to do some researching about women in the railway industry (to be fair, this is for a challenge badge but also I am interested in female empowerment and the state of equality/lack of in the railway industry is an excellent indication of general equality in Britain). So yeah. I found out a load about the railway industry and now you can too! At the birth of the railway near the beginning of the 19th Century (around the 1830s), the industry was structured in such a way to mirror how society worked. This meant that fathers and sons would follow each other into the industry while the women would become wives and mothers. They were, however, hired by rail companies to work although this work was prohibited to ‘women’s work’ such as cleaning and sewing. They were also able to be level crossing gatekeepers as it could be fitted in with family life - this p...
