RHS ESSENTIAL 

Academic success at high school is based on your ability to read and to continually improve your reading skills. Over the next few days, we will investigate helpful tips for improving your reading skills.

Tip7: Line Up

When making notes, sometimes what we’ve written down won’t make sense days later. So if you’re not a fan of making notes, use a pen and underline key points. Don’t highlight everything. Pay attention to important information like the “what”, “where” and “how”.

2014: The Islamic sectarian movement Boko Haram kidnapped more than 275 girls from a boarding school in Chibok, Nigeria, sparking worldwide condemnation.

1939: American author John Steinbeck's classic The Grapes of Wrath—which was set during the Great Depression and traces the migration of an Oklahoma Dust Bowl family to California and their subsequent hardships as migrant farmworkers—was published.

1828: Noah Webster published An American Dictionary of the English Language; based on the principle that word usage should evolve from the spoken language, the work was hugely influential, though it was initially attacked for its “Americanism.”

Wet weather conditions expected across the country over the Easter weekend

The South African Weather Services says people travelling across the country over the Easter weekend can expect wet weather conditions.
The Eastern Cape, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal and the North West are likely to experience more thunderstorms from Friday with the risk of localised flooding and possible hail.
Emergency services are continuing with search and rescue operations in KZN where record-breaking rainfall has left a trail of destruction and over 300 people dead.
SA Weather Services’ Ismael Moyo says, “Starting from tomorrow, we have isolated thundershowers in central parts – so if you are travelling from Gauteng to the Western Cape, you are likely to experience some showers and thundershowers in those areas – and giving us scattered showers in FS and KZN as well.”
“Currently there’s another air system that is developing west of the country, supported by surface high pressure systems. These are expected to bring much more rain over the central parts of the country starting tomorrow – also for the extreme southern parts of KZN and EC. No warnings as yet but we will continue monitoring the situation,” Moyo adds.
