understand the text clearly.

they are in the right age, they must know their responsibility and power to make a
difference.

As a student myself, I want to make this place a better place to live in. Students must
always seek for improvement for themselves if they want to success.

It is important to have a background knowledge on students before proceeding to an
actual lecture. It’s a way to connect to students and know their strength and
weaknesses to assess them properly.

text has a connection to the students to catch their attention and for them to
