In our second episode, we discuss the communication between different cultures. A second way of categorising cultures is based on how they see the time. In this instance, we talk about monochronic and polychronic cultures.

The Age of Humans

Episode 2: Monochronic and Polychronic Cultures

Yaş otuz beş! yolun yarısı eder.

Dante gibi ortasındayız ömrün.

Delikanlı çağımızdaki cevher,

Yalvarmak, yakarmak nafile bugün,

Gözünün yaşına bakmadan gider.

 

Şakaklarıma kar mı yağdı ne var?

Benim mi Allahım bu çizgili yüz?

Ya gözler altındaki mor halkalar?

Neden böyle düşman görünürsünüz,

Yıllar yılı dost bildiğim aynalar?

 

Zamanla nasıl değişiyor insan!

Hangi resmime baksam ben değilim.

Nerde o günler, o şevk, o heyecan?

Bu güler yüzlü adam ben değilim;

Yalandır kaygısız olduğum yalan.

 

Hayal meyal şeylerden ilk aşkımız;

Hatırası bile yabancı gelir.

Hayata beraber başladığımız,

Dostlarla da yollar ayrıldı bir bir;

Gittikçe artıyor yalnızlığımız.

 

Gökyüzünün başka rengi de varmış!

Geç farkettim taşın sert olduğunu.

Su insanı boğar, ateş yakarmış!

Her doğan günün bir dert olduğunu,

İnsan bu yaşa gelince anlarmış.

 

Ayva sarı nar kırmızı sonbahar!

Her yıl biraz daha benimsediğim.

Ne dönüp duruyor havada kuşlar?

Nerden çıktı bu cenaze? ölen kim?

Bu kaçıncı bahçe gördüm tarumar?

 

Neylersin ölüm herkesin başında.

Uyudun uyanamadın olacak.

Kimbilir nerde, nasıl, kaç yaşında?

Bir namazlık saltanatın olacak,

Taht misali o musalla taşında.

にほんごのれんしゅう

みんなのにほんご　Lesson 8

Different students learn better in different ways, and it's important to find a way to study that works best for you. Here are some things that you can try to help you study better.

Make a plan
Decide when, where and for how long you are going to study. If you decide what you need to get done every time you study, then it will be easier to achieve your goals. Also, if you do smaller amounts of work regularly, you won't have the stress of needing to cram everything just before an important exam.

Test yourself on what you've learned
After you read something, you should test yourself on it. And instead of just doing it once, do it often. Try to test yourself days and weeks after you first learn something to make sure you really remember it. You can also work with a friend to test each other.

Take a break
Research has shown that taking breaks can help you work or study better. A study by the company DeskTime found that the most productive people work for about 52 minutes at a time, then take a 17-minute break in between. So when making your study plan, don't forget to include breaks in it.

Stay healthy
Getting exercise and sleeping well can actually help you study. Research has found that regular exercise can improve both memory and thinking skills, while sleeping helps the brain save new information.
