Simple tip #9

Here is some advice about taking big tests. You should study more in the day time then at night. Don't wait until you're tired because you won't be able to focus and probably end up falling asleep. Also turn off your TV or IPod; this will help you focus on studying what you need to study for the test. If you are able to get someone to study with, then that will more than likely help you out a lot. The night before taking a big test, go to bed early that way you get plenty of sleep. In the morning make sure you eat breakfast, this will really help you. When the day comes to take the test or quiz, don't worry about failing it. All you need to do is just take your time and have some confidence in yourself. If you do, you will have a better chance of doing well on the test.

We all love to go to the zoo, right? Well when I go there, I love to see the giraffes. They are one of my top five animals that I truly adore. They are always so calm and I love their fur. Here are some facts you may not have known about giraffes:



Interesting Facts:

- The scientific name for a giraffe is "Camelopardalis."
- The giraffe is one of the strongest, tallest, and most peaceful animals on earth.
- A giraffe's heart is about 24 pounds and 2 inches long.
- A giraffe sleeps no longer than 5 to 30 minutes within 24 hours.


What do giraffes eat?

-Giraffes drink up to 38 liters of water a day. They do this so they can go a long time without water. - Giraffes are herbivores. They eat mainly tree leaves, twigs, fruit, and grass.
- They eat up to 65 to 75 pounds a day but they can survive on only 15 pounds a day.


Where do these creatures live?

- Giraffes only live on one continent - Africa. Although you see them at the zoo they don't come from the United States.
