IN GRADE-9 English, on the old curriculum, we all learned that anyone can be a better scholar if he or she wants to. That is absolutely right. In my experience, many students will never become outstanding inside or outside class, not because they study very slowly but because they have no desire to be really outstanding at all. Even if they have high intelligence, they will have little chance of turning out to be excellent, especially if they do not have systematic study routines. How on earth are those routines? Please see below.

AS I have seen the news about brutal and inhumane terrorist murders of NUG and PDF groups, which are circulating on social media platforms these days, I wrote this open letter as a responsible citizen to inform those who are backing terrorists. Since 8 May 2024, a video file of terrorists killing each other circulating on social media platforms is a heart-wrenching sight for anyone who sees it. This video recording is a true story that happened in Gangaw Township, Magway Region. At the scene, four people tied their hands back and were interrogated and mercilessly killed. The murderers were the terrorist leader Sanay and his followers, who detained, interrogated and killed some of their own members who were killed in the pretext of running away after they had stolen valuable belongings gained in robber from the civilians. In the video, everyone can see that the victims were cut ears as well as body parts and beheaded. The act of violence seen in the video is unacceptable for any reason, and it is believed that the people doing those killings are inhumane and on drugs. As everyone who had watched these scenes would be heartbroken, I think nobody should abet such kind of cruel and brutal terrorists.
