Categories:
-Fashionista: they have their outfit planned from head to toe. They might bring a flashy bag or have flashy accessories.
 -Quiet kids: they never speak a lot, and they're always at the back of the class. Sometimes you don't even know they're there.
-Kiss ass: This type of person always answers the teacher's questions and is overly enthusiastic about the lesson. They can also give unnecessary compliments to the teacher.
-Latecomers:These are students that consistently comes in late for classes. They can be exactly 10 minutes late to each class.
-Copycat: This type of student always does their work last minute and copies others' homework. They never do their own work.

Conclusion: There are many types of students we meet in school but it's good to get used to the good and bad types of personalities that you meet.]]> 2017-10-25 03:52:44 UTC https://padlet.com/vandanasaxena/section5/wish/200265789 Housemates justin_tan888 https://padlet.com/vandanasaxena/section5/wish/200265862 Hook: Do you have a housemate who, like your mom takes care of you? Or like a child that you need to take care of.

Background: Living with housemates can be so much fun. Most people meet their house mates while sharing an apartment in a university. They can help make the most out of living in a new city. The types of housemates we get, however, can be completely at random, so don’t be too surprised to discover their hidden characters which you never thought would annoy you so much.

Thesis: these are the housemates that annoy us the most

Categories:

·       the neat freak:
 They are the ones who nag about cleanliness and the condition of the house. It gets really bothersome after a while.   The borrower
They borrow stuff and you are going to have to wait a million and one years to get it back. Or maybe never. 
·       The mess
They make your house look like it has been invaded by critters. You'll have to part their "Red Sea" of trash if you ever want to move around. You might find an underwear or two hanging from some place you don't want to see it at.
·       The raver
Sleeping in the day, party at night. They are mostly nocturnal so you're hardly likely to run into them in the day. May like to blast music in their rooms. May also call you in the dead of the night to ask you to unlock the door.

Background: People go to the gym for different reasons.

Thesis: Because people go to the gym for different reasons, therefore there would be different types of people you'd find at the gym.

He normally shouts "one more rep" at you or gives strangers random high fives.

2. Wanna-be Coach
He spends more time criticizing the form of others rather than working out himself.

3. Selfie King/Queen

4. Couch Potato

5. Skips Leg Day
Heavy lifters that focus on the upper body but neglects building their lower body a.k.a chicken legs. 

Conclusion:
There may be many types of personalities you meet at the gym, but thankfully they're only there in the gym and not outside.]]> 2017-10-25 03:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/vandanasaxena/section5/wish/200265883 Movie Goers https://padlet.com/vandanasaxena/section5/wish/200266144 Hook: Watching movies at the cinema can be a worthwhile entertainment or a terrible experience. 

Background: Nowadays, with the onslaught of new movies and upgraded cinemas with the latest entertainment features such as IMAX, the cinema is the go-to place for a good time. However, when there is a crowd, it is inevitable to meet different types of people.

Thesis Statement:
There are different types of people who goes to the cinema such as the commenter, the overreact people and the rude ones. These type of people are based according to their behaviour in the cinema.

1. The Commenter
This type of people talks throughout the duration of the movie. They comment on everything that is happening in the movie. They pick on the characters, the actors, the plot and others. Some were inconsiderate enough to drop spoilers to other audience like mentioning "Oh,  I read this before. That character is going to die".

2. The Overreactor
This type people are usually present when watching horror or drama movies.
They scream and cry in an over the top fashion. Other members of the audience may feel the same way like the overreactor but the later are more open about it. They are too engrossed in the movie that they forget about other people in the movie. This behavior can disturb others who are trying to focus on the movie. 

 3. The Rude ones
This goes to the couples who openly show PDA ( Public Display of Affection) such a passionate make out sessions during the movie. This makes other feel uncomfortable since it is inappropriate to do that in a public place.. Other than that,  there are people who eats with no regard to manners such as crunching their popcorn and slurping their drinks loudly. The noise level is unacceptableand is guaranteed to earn disapproving looks.

Conclusion: There are different type of people who goes to the  cinema. If you are lucky, you will get a seat that is not in the proximity of the people mentioned above. But do ask yourself. Are you one of them? If so, then treat others the way you want them to behave in the cinema.]]> 2017-10-25 03:56:08 UTC https://padlet.com/vandanasaxena/section5/wish/200266144 MAMAK-GOERS Thesis statement: a myriad of people who come together in a simple Malaysian landmark stall – the Mamak – from the individual food lovers to the most passionate socializers. Basis of classification: purpose 1. Football fans: go there to watch matches, big screen, watch together with group of friends, they can talk loudly; being commentators, just order a drink, always wear their own team jersey 2. Hang out buddies : from group of 3-20 people, discussion of pointless things, a friendly meeting, a reunion of friends, different from football fans because they’re noisy throughout their meet up, one type of these people are the smoking buddies, 3. Heavy-eaters : they’ll not leave without having a tandoori, their ‘nasi kandar’ comes with extra rice and flood of curry, they come just for the food and usually don’t come in large groups, averaging from just lone visits to a mere group of three, 4. Food packers: buy and eat at home, come alone but buy for a town, causes for the long queues in big ‘nasi kandar’ shops, and usually customize each meal, making the purchasing process a long one, https://padlet.com/vandanasaxena/section5/wish/200270494 2017-10-25 04:46:48 UTC https://padlet.com/vandanasaxena/section5/wish/200270494 Parents https://padlet.com/vandanasaxena/section5/wish/201075959 Hook: How would you prefer your parents to be?

Background: It's not within our power to choose who we want as our parents, nor how they would be like. It’s just them, right after we were born.

Thesis: Parents can be categorized in few categories based on their characteristics and their attitudes towards rule. 

Responsible/Dependable/The best type of parents:-
Care about their children
- teach their children how to settle thing
-The child’s day has structure to it, such as a planned bedtime and understood household rules
-there are consequences for disrupting this structure or breaking the household rules
-the child understand the expectations that you have for their behavior, and these expectations are reasonable
-have a healthy and open line of communication with the child-the child feel that they can speak to his/her parents about anything without fear of negative consequence or harsh judgment(the open communication style with the child) 
-If a parent can foster the ability to speak to their child without judgment or reprimand, they will be more likely to have insight into the child’s life and understanding, providing the child with a deeper understanding of the world around them.

Neglectful:- Don't actually care about their children’ needs
—emotional, physical, and otherwise
-- Dont provide the children's basic necessities 
– shelter, foods  e.g. the home does not provide a safe space for the child where they can share their experiences and expect positive feedback rather than negative or no feedback
- Dont teach their children
- One of the most harmful styles of parenting that can be used on a child- Does not have an understanding of what is going on in the child’s life-
-the parents spend long periods of time away from home, leaving the child alone
-the parents often find themselves making excuses for not being there for the child
-the parents does not know the child’s friends-the parents are not involved in the child’s life outside the home
- Neglectful parenting is damaging to children because they have no trust foundation with their parents from which to explore the world.

Lenient:
Another potentially harmful style of parenting
-These parents is responsive but not the demanding
-The benefit of this parenting style is that they are usually very nurturing and loving. The negatives, however, outweigh this benefit
-lack of structure causes these children to grow up with little self -discipline and self-control
--The parents do not set limits or rules for the child- the parents often compromise the rules to accommodate the child’s mood-they avoid conflict with the child
-They have a willingness to be the child’s best friend rather than their parent-they often bribe the child to do things with large rewards.

Strict:
- is characterized by parents who are demanding but not responsive- parents allow for little open dialogue between parent and child and expect children to follow a strict set of rules and expectations.
- They usually rely on punishment to demand obedience or teach a lesson
- have very strict rules that they believe should be followed no matter what- they often find themselves offering no explanations for the rules other than “Because I said so?”
- give the child few choices and decisions about their own life- utilize punishment as a means of getting the child to do what they ask
- Children of strict parents are prone to having low self-esteem, being fearful or shy, associating obedience with love, having difficulty in social situations, and possibly misbehaving when outside of parental care.

Conclusion:  There are many types of parents that we can find out there. ]]> 2017-10-27 02:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/vandanasaxena/section5/wish/201075959
