My ideal job is a job which has the link with English, because my profession is english. I wish I would listen to,speak,read,and write english very well. we all know that english can be used in all walks of lifes. So I can not describe my ideal job correctly. Maybe one day I will face to so many strange faces to speak english loudly, and they will praise me: ” oh, It is totally different ! ”
In Kenya’s Rift Valley, the Turkana and Pokot ethnic groups have long battled over resources, such as cattle and land. But they recently put aside their differences for a day to take part in a race organized by one of Kenya’s top athletes as a way of bringing the groups together and easing tensions.
Turkana and Pokot warriors singing, dancing and chatting side-by-side is a rare sight in Kenya’s central Rift Valley.
But that is what happened on International Peace Day, as they along with the Marakwet and some members of Uganda’s Karamajong ethnic group, focused on a common goal: to win the 10-kilometer race.
For runner Peter Loupe, this was a special day. He says this race, along with other sports projects recently introduced into the area, has improved the lives of community members.
Loupe says Pokot, Turkana and Marakwet families are living more peacefully together because of coming together at sports events such as the race. Through these initiatives, he says, people have also discovered talents they did not know they had, which has helped them economically.
More than 400 Turkana, Pokot, Marakwet and Karamajong men and women gathered in the early hours at the start line, some stretching or doing jumping jacks to warm up their muscles.
In all one’s lifetime it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of. When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself. It’s likely that you think it wise for yourself to know your place and stay aloof from worldly wearing a mask of cowardice, behind which the flow of sap in your life will be retarded.
To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example oversimplifies. No child imitates every action he sees. Sometimes, the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other example. Therefore we must turn to a more subtle theory than “Monkey see, monkey do.” Look at it from the child’s point of view. Here he is in a new situation, lacking a ready response. He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends. If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do.
