Hi all, welcome back to U.I.R. Its been a week since I last updated.

First up, I have to blog about Pratical Worksheet 1 which is about UIR.

Part B (Pair activity) Part A is what you are looking at now, my U.I.R blog. Yes, Part A is to make a blog = )

1. Discuss with your partner and pick a topic that relates to your interest eg Music, Movies, Games, Sports. You can also work on a research topic relating to the area related to your respective Diplomas. (Done!)

2. Once both of you have agreed on the topic, identify ONE aspect of the topic that you would like to know more about. For example, you may choose “Music” as the topic and you may decide to choose “Popular music” as an aspect. (Done!)

3. Search the Internet for one example of the resources listed on your chosen aspect:
- Newsgroups and discussion list

5. Compare your findings with your partner. How are they similar or different from your partner’s findings?

Similarities:
He used the same search engine as me and he also has the same best friend as me. Google FTW!­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

Differences:
