Q1 Can children choose their deskmate in schools your country?

Ans- In most cases, children don't have complete control over who they sit next to in their classroom, as this is typically decided by the teacher based on a variety of factors. Teachers have a lot of experience in managing classrooms and understanding the needs of their students, and their decisions about seating arrangements are often based on a variety of factors that can help create a positive and productive learning environment for everyone. For example, teachers may pair students together based on their academic performance or learning style, or to manage classroom dynamics and minimize disruptions. They may also take into consideration social dynamics within the class and try to pair students who get along well or who have had issues in the past to promote positive relationships and minimize conflicts. It's important to note that some schools or teachers may have specific rules or guidelines around choosing deskmates or seating arrangements. While children may be able to request a specific deskmate in certain scenarios, it's always a good idea for them to ask their teacher for permission or guidance before making any requests. Overall, seating arrangements can play an important role in the learning experience of children, and teachers' decisions about seating arrangements are typically made with the goal of creating a positive and productive learning environment for everyone.

Q2 Why should children be kind to their classmates?

Ans- I think that children should be kind to their classmates for a variety of reasons. Firstly, kindness promotes positive social interactions and helps children build healthy relationships with their peers. When children are kind to each other, they create a supportive and inclusive environment that fosters a sense of belonging and community. Kindness also enhances emotional well-being, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression while increasing feelings of happiness and self-esteem. Additionally, being kind to others can help children build their own self-esteem as they see that their actions have a positive impact on others. One more reason is that kindness teaches empathy, or the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. This skill is important for building strong relationships and developing emotional intelligence. A positive and kind classroom climate is essential for creating a safe and supportive learning environment. When children are kind to each other, they create a positive and respectful atmosphere that fosters a love of learning and a sense of community. Finally, kindness promotes cooperation and teamwork, helping children work together towards a common goal. By being kind to each other, children are more likely to help each other, share resources, and support one another, which is essential for success in the classroom and beyond.

Q7 What kinds of people are popular at work?

Q8 Are knowledgeable people popular at work?

Ans- Well, I guess the ones who inspire others to be productive, fulfilled and happy at their workplace. These are, first of all, resourceful and focused people or in other words those people who are able to see a solution in just about every problem they encounter and keep the energy in the team high setting on specific tasks instead of messing around a lot. Also, these are visionaries or those people who usually think in decades and have a very clear picture of what they want to accomplish in their lives. Working with such people other team members always have a feeling they are working on something big, something that will stay here as a sign of their teamwork, which is very motivating. Another type of people I consider popular at work are sympathetic people who make a workplace as nice as home, helping others feel good in the place where they spend almost one third of their lives. Finally, 'have fun' people as they are able to find a way to loosen things up when a stressful situation appears, which makes working with them a pure pleasure.
