Best school subject?

Cynder is cute · Aug 24, 2009 12:25 AM

I'm best at writing so far. I used to suck at math, but now I'm pretty good. Science is interesting, but History is boring as heck. I listen as best as I can though. English is one of my favorite subjects. PE is my least favorite. :-P

science: because im good at it biology, chemstry and physics
english: because im good at writing stories
art: its fun, but im not good at it anymore.
geography: we only talk, our form doesnt do geography.

Well, I would say lunchtime ... but if you don't count that like we do, mine
would have to be Worship Team. It's an elective. [Yes, our lunchtime
actually counts as a period.]

But my favorite normal school class is math. It's what I do best in.

I'm good at everything. (:

Kidding. My best subject in high school was probably English; I find grammar rules and reading comprehension easy, so I barely had to do any work. Plus we would always go over everything we read in class the next day, so even if you didn't read a few chapters, it was still fairly easy to get decent grades on the tests.

My favourite subject is physics, science and math.
I don't like history and literature.

I like biology, geography and English to a certain extent (stories and creative writing but I can't stand poetry).

I don't like PE. It's no fun in the rain... <_< I hate chemistry: too hard. And physics bores me to death.

If it rains we have indoor PE. My favorite game is dodgeball. I'm pretty good at it and can through the farthest.

My favorite subject when i win high school would have to be math was always very good at it. Never liked history classes though.

Minight · Aug 24, 2009 8:39 PM

Art and scince are my FAV

Firefly · Aug 25, 2009 10:46 AM

Haha where I live PE is almost exclusively inside... Always figured that was normal... guess not?

Hidstory is actually pretty interesting if you have a good teacher... Well like European history, like the Medival Ages and the Antiquity and the Renaissance and stuff... Victorian age and what not. If you mean American/Canadian history I totally understand. That stuff islike the definition of dull. lol...

Anyways, I'm usually best at history + language(English+French) courses. i find math and science both to be a mixture of confusing and boring lol tongue

I was always good at PE because I'm quite sporty, but it wasn't my favourite unless we were playing rounders. My favourite subjects were always art and science (specifically biology). I don't go to school anymore though and I'm taking a year out before I go to university next year so I'm just working now.
Just a quick question for everyone, I heard Firefly say that PE for him is indoors usually, and then Cic said she played dodgeball. So my question: What sports does PE include for you guys?
For me it included:
Girls: netball, volleyball and hockey in winter and rounders in summer
Boys: basketball, rugby and football (english version) in winter and cricket and softball in winter
Both: badmington, dance, gym and trampoline in winter and athletics, tennis and cross-country in summer

Swaffy · Sep 10, 2009 11:48 PM

This class may not be my favorite, but Speech is my best class right now.
Grades, I mean.

Okay, I have a few questions. First of all, what in the world is cricket?
Second of all, since when do you use a trampoline in school? o_O
Oh, and in PE we play volley ball with a giant exercise ball, (which is hard <_< ) we shoot hoops just for fun, run track, and you can even play soccer or frisbee if you want to when we're outside. ( Oh, dodgeball in my school is called Indian Ball)

Cricket...... is kinda like tennis mixed with ping pong. Instead of a large net, its touching the ground at about half a foot tall. Instead of a ping pong ball, they used a wiffel ball about the size of a tennis ball. But instead of a racket, you get a ping pong sized paddel. The cort length is about 3/4 the size of a tennis cort.

Cynder is cute · Sep 11, 2009 12:53 AM

Alrighty then.
The only time I ever heard of cricket ball was in a video game I have that centers in Australia.:P (Ty)

RedDragonX · Sep 11, 2009 3:41 PM

History and Physical Educations were always my best. English was the runner up. History though I mastered above all others. I hate Math.

Phoenix_Flyer · Sep 11, 2009 5:31 PM

DPX was about there, the cricket ball is about the size of a tennis ball and is made of leather and cork. It's really hard as well, like catching a frigging rock... I explain some of it if you really want to know though:

The cricket bat is made of willow wood and he did quite a good description of it, it comes about up to hip height and looks like this:

The playing field is shaped like a circle and its diameter is around 140m, it has a rope boundary marking it out. In the centre there's a rectangular court where two batters stand, one at one end and one at the other. A bowler throws the ball to a batter at one side and to score a run they have to both run from their opposite ends. If they hit the ball and it rolls over the rope boundary they automatically score 4 runs and if it goes over without bouncing they score 6.
Confusing rules now, at each end there are three stumps with weird shaped things balanced on top of them which are called bails. This is called your wicket and if that gets hit with the ball and the bails fall off, you're out. There's also something called a crease about a metre in front of the wicket and if the bails are knocked off and you're not behind the crease, you're out. If someone catches the ball when you hit it, like in most batting games, you're out. And if at any time you knock the bails off by accident, tough luck, you're out.

Once you're got your head around these runs, stay behind the crease and don't let anything touch your wicket it sounds easy, but its not. At the highest level, bowlers throw the ball in different ways. Spinners make the ball spin so that when it bounces it changes direction, and they throw these at like 60mph. Fast bowlers do just what their name says, and many throw the ball at between 85-90mph. When you also remember that the ball is rock hard it makes a rather daunting combination, they always wear loads of safety gear.
The game also gets taken the mickey out of because its one of the only games where if it rains, play stops, and the players, when they play all day, have a break at lunch and a break at around 4pm called tea. The videos also show you what I mean by the rectangular playing pitch, I haven't told you all of the rules, but I figure that people won't really care anyway:
Here's a YouTube video of about the best catch ever taken: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WMEXP4G9sM
Here's a video of a stupid run out, dunno why the nutter does this, you just have to hit the stumps with the ball, not yourself...: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMHpZpwv … re=related
And here's a video of what happens when they get hit by a cricket ball (Because of the quality you can't see how much his mouth is bleeding): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm4aMRB231o&feature=fvw

This is probably the weirdest video I've ever seen to do with cricket, it shows what a cricket ball does to birds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZimSVYWmVac
