Writing Styles
There are a lot of different types of writing styles; I am going to write about seven different types of writing Journalistic, persuasive, scientific, discursive, ethical, and reflective and plagiarism.
Journalistic writing is what is written in a journal or for a dairy. Its short sentences, with a non-standard grammar. In health and social its great why in which it can be used because, someone could go into a nursing home or and nursery and find out different information, and listen to conversation and write it down in a dairy, in short sentences, and re- write it later on. It’s a good way to monitor people and places.
Ethical writing is when you don’t make up data. People should also not lie when they are using static’s during an essay or assignment. You also need to be accurate in your work and not take credit for work that has been copied, and should let people know when you have used other people ideas.
Reflective writing is writing in which individuals refer to use. It’s good to use when writing a reflective diary, because it’s a good way to review people work and you own assessment, and give you a good review of your work. During health and social it can be used to write a dairy of a nurse’s day, so she can look over on the day’s events that evening or the next day, and make notes of what goes on during a day in a hospital. Reflective writing can be used to write notes of what has happened during a day.
Scientific writing is a structured type of writing. It includes abstract introduction, methods, results, discussions, acknowledgments, references and appendices. This type of writing is good for research and evidence based and is full of facts and figures. In health and social it’s good to be used in labs, and by doctors.
Plagiarism is copying someone’s work, without marking that it’s come from someone else. This is forbidden and can not be used in assignments, and you can get in trouble for this. In health and social care if this is used during a university course then you get into a lot of trouble.
Discursive writing is showing to different sides of a story and writing down information about it. It’s like a discussion over different matters. There are a few basic structures that relate to discursive writing. In health and social this would be used in leaflets to show of two different sides of an event, to do with your own health. It could be to do with smoking, saying different reason on what people think about it.
Persuasive writing is when you try to persuade someone to be on your side when talking about a certain subject. In health and social this is also good in leaflets to persuade people to do different thinks to make sure they are keeping an eye on the health. For example smoking again is a good one to persuade people to stop.

Wheat affects your studies both negative and positive?
There are both negative and positive thing that affects me when I’m studying. I prefer to work in a quiet area where no one can distract me because I am very easily distracted. I prefer to work at home than in college, because there’s too much going on and I easily get lead off task. I find it best to come home from college and start working as soon as I get in because; if I have a rest I stop working and get into a lazy mode, and therefore my work wont be at a good standard and then I will fall behind. I prefer to work on a computer than to hand write assignments, because I have the internet there for any research.
If I have had food and I have water next to me when I’m working it means that I am not tired and wanting to get a drink all the time, because I get de-hydrated quickly. I enjoy to work with a friend because I can share ideas with them and we can both help each other along and then we have each other encouragement, its also makes you feel less stressed. I find it better to work when I have had a lot of sleep because I can concentrate a lot easier.
I like to have a good room temperature, because if it’s too cold I can not concentrate properly and I am shivering. I also get distracted by it being too hot, because I get headaces easily and then I can’t find it good conditions to work in. I don’t like working in dark rooms either; I like o have light because it strains my eyes.
To conclude, there are many different factors which affect my studies both negative and positive. I think that at the moment I am working well and getting on with my work at home which means that I don’t have distraction unlike at college, I am lucky though because in my class everyone get on with there work independently and if you need help there always there to give you some help and advice.

Honey and Munford learning style
An activist is a person who enjoys doing hands on activities. They enjoy to do role play, puzzles and group activities. Brainstorms are also good for them when they are thinking of new ideas and being creative. They don’t prepare and plan they just get on with what they want to do.
A reflector is someone who prefers to review work and to self asses themselves. They like to give themselves feedback on there own work. They enjoy meetings and observing situations.
A theorist is a person who prefers to use quotes and models and there preferred learning style. They like to conclude thing with statistic and facts. They always use background information.
A pragmatist is a person who enjoys planning and using information like when doing case studies, and finding out how it works. They like to solve problems and have discussions before writing down.
To conclude these learning style are the best learning styles, and help each individual to achieve what they need to achieve.
My own learning style which I prefer is activist. I enjoy to work as a group of people and talk about what are problem is. I like to do role play and puzzles because this is a good way for me to learn. When I’m doing assignments I like o gather my information by doing different activates and remembering it by that. My least prefer learning style is theorist because I don’t like to conclude my work.
The disadvantages of being an activist are that you can’t always go and do hands on work. Sometimes you can’t always do this type of style, because teachers do a lot of lectures and therefore you just have to sit and take notes. It would be good if you were a bit of all of these learning styles because it would make it easier to learn, because you can do more things.

Upgrade P5
When studying I like to be able to be in a good working mode so that I can get as much work done as possible. I have made a chat and then worked out my percentage of different things I do during a week, I am going o try to improve how much I do college work and cu down on free time.
Here Are My results
As you can see I spend most of my time sleeping, this is good because it means that I am getting a good amount of my time resting, which means im alert and not feeling sleepy. I spend too much time doing my own activities, and this needs to be reduced if I want to for fill and achieve my grades.
