The struggle
students
face in staying focused during lessons is a big topic of discussion. While
opinions vary on the reasons and solutions, I strongly believe there are several causes and ways to address this
issue.
The education system isn't always a good fit for kids. Long breaks can make it tough to regain focus, and some subjects become dull because teachers stick to one teaching style. This
leads students
to mentally check out of class even if they're physically present.
However
, there are ways to help. Reducing break times in schools can prevent students
from losing their connection to lessons. Also
, teachers can make learning more enjoyable by using engaging methods like games, which kids love.
In summary, although
there are numerous reasons why students
struggle to concentrate, it's our responsibility to find solutions. This
isn't just about students
; it affects everyone. So, let's focus on implementing solutions.Submitted by insighttribez on

Suitable Writing Tone
It's important to maintain a suitable tone throughout your letter which should match the informal nature of a letter to a friend.
The Greeting
Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.
Always start an informal letter in the ways:
- Dear + name
- Hi / Hello + name
‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.
For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:
- Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
- Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
