How to Organize your Portfolio

Papers, papers, papers. Students often feel overwhelmed by the number of papers they receive from their teachers and it may seem that throwing them in the boot of their car is the best solution. However, it is actually quite easy to organize your class notes into a neat portfolio. Let me outline the steps.

First, find all your papers. You can look for missing papers on the HD1 website. You can also ask a friend and photocopy his papers. Second, sort your papers into logical divisions e.g reading, writing, listening. Next, put your papers into the different sections. After that, buy a binder and some colored dividers. Write section headings for the dividers and match them with a table of contents page. Finally, make a label for the side of the binder. Include important information e.g. class code, name etc.

As we have seen it is easy to make a portfolio. You will be proud of your neat, well-organized work.

Expedition to Sydney

In July 2007 I traveled to Sydney by expedition from Abu Dhabi Educational Zone with other students from all over the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. We had a lot of problems before we went to Sydney.

They put a supervisor for every ten students and our supervisor told us that our flight would be on Thursday July 5th so when Thursday came we went to the airport and our supervisor told as he made a mistake and the flight was on Wednesday not Thursday so we had to go back to our houses and wait until he booked another flight for us. Next day he called us and told as the flight is at 5 am next day but it wasn’t directly to Sydney; we would fly to Perth and then we had to book another flight to Sydney by internal airlines. The flight took about 11 hours. After we arrived in Perth we went directly to the internal airport by bus and booked a flight to Sydney. Unfortunately the flight was cancelled three times and we stayed at the airport for two days. The first time it was cancelled for bad weather in Perth and the second time because the pilot was drunk and they told us the third time was because there was damage to the engine. The fourth time we flew to Sydney without any problems.

Although we had a lot of problems before we arrived in Sydney I had my best holiday in Sydney.
