Write a summary (250-350 words) of: Your key attributes and skills that you feel will support you in your learning Identify 1-2 areas that you feel you will need to focus on/strengthen and how
you will achieve this.
A: First of all, being autonomous is very important. University
is different to high school, in high school there are always teachers to force,
and push you to study, whereas in University, it’s all up to yourself to study.
There are always teachers/tutors there to help, you got to seek help when
needed, no one is going to come to you and ask you what’s wrong.

I really need to strengthen my presentation and
communication skills. My presentation skills are not very good, I tend to be
very nervous while I’m presenting and I tend to look down on my notes a lot. I
think the only way to improve this is to practise, practise in front of a
mirror before presenting, and check for eye contacts, and work on my hand
gestures.

I also need to manage my time properly, and make a good time
schedule and properly stick to it. Avoid procrastination at all times. Work
hard and play hard is my new motto, concentrate on whatever you are doing at
the time. I should also make time for breaks, so I can keep my concentration
level high. Also eliminating all distractions while working, turn of computer
while not using it, close the door, and try working in a library, turning off
your phone, all these can be done to avoid procrastination.
Task 2:
Following the session on transition (L3) write a short
summary (200-250 words) of the key issue/s you feel is/are relevant to you and
some strategies you feel may assist you.
A: University schedule is very different to High School, the
timetable is more flexible, and we get to do more of our own stuff in the spare
time. I’m currently living by myself; I also have a part time job, and I’m also
a dedicated member at my local gym, so I can get quite busy sometimes. Living
by myself is very troublesome and takes up a lot of time, as I have to cook for
myself, clean the house, do laundry, and shop for groceries and etc. to combat
this, I’ll have to manage my time very wisely, preferably make a time schedule
and try to stick to it. And since my job is a casual job, I might have to talk
with my boss and decrease my shifts, and focus on University work more. It’s
not worth it to over work, and fail a unit at University, as you’ll end up
paying more than you earn.

Post-World
War I (1918 on-wards) : Vegemite was invented, because the import route of
Marmite (similar to Vegemite, but made in Britain) was disrupted.
The
great depression (1930s): during the hard times of the great depression,
rabbits became a popular food item for many farmers and people who cannot
afford beef, pork or poultry. The skin could be made into garments and clothes,
while the flesh can be eaten. Rabbits can be caught pretty easily, therefore
making the availability even higher. After the great depression times, it has
been reintroduced as a proper meat, and even fashionable gourmet food. Now days
rabbit meat are known for its lean meat and health benefits, they can be found
in most super markets, butchers and some restaurants.

Post
World War 2 (1945): Melbourne expanded rapidly, due to the boost of post war
immigration to Australia, mainly from the Southern Europe and Mediterranean countries
(Italian, French and Greeks). They also brought in their Mediterranean cuisine
with them, including more fish and pasta, olive oil, coffee drinking culture,
varieties of cheese, broad use of vegetables and wine drinking. They are a big
part of today’s Australian cuisine. Coffee
drinking is now a daily ritual for many Australian people; it has overtaken tea
as the most popular hot beverages ordered in restaurants and cafes. Pasta
dishes another staple food of many European countries is now chosen by many
Australians.
