Nancy jo of "how to Do one thing at a time "explains how our brain can only remember or at it best when thing are done one at a time, Onlike sometimes we will be texting and driving and sometimes talking  on the phone while driving.An experiment was giving to group of student. The first group was doing more than two thing at ones ther were chatting,compilling a music playlist and writing an essay,The secound grup did one thing at a time for 10 minutes and resuit show the brain is at it best when thing are done one at a time.his it a good idea to turn off your phone when drive even know you may missed an important email?

In my belive "yes" you should turn off your phone when you are driving.Checking an email while driving can be the most digorose thing you can do,because when youare driving and an email comes in your focus is no lnoger on driving is on the email and that could cause an accident and you can get yourself killed or someone killed.

When we are driving it we must be 100% focus on the road becuse ther's so many thing go on, a truck can come by and get infornt of you a car stop because the red light is on and when we have our cell phone on we are not all that focus we about 50% focus on the road and 50% on what going to pop up next on the cell phone.

I have tried taking on the phone while driving and i thought i had 100% focus on the road so i picked up the phone stated talking to my frend and LoL and for a min I hit a cars light and i tried to remember ow it happen but I only could rememeber what my frend was talking about.

Sometime we have to turn of our phone because it for our safty.

  1. Hi Keith, My name is Gina and I am a student at LAGCC and am currently taking a tutoring course. I just wanted to stop by and give you some suggestions that could possibly help you with your writing. The assignment that you were given says to summarize the article you read. I get the feeling that you just wrote important things from the article instead of interpreting it in your own words. When you summarize all that means is understanding the reading and then putting what you read in your own words. Copying lines from the reading should only be used when your referecing it. I think you could do a way better job if you reread the article and tried to explain what you understood from what you read. That would make your summary of the article sounds a bit better. The next thing i believe you should work on is how your organizing your ideas and thoughts so they seem like it flows smoothly. You have some really good ideas in your writing and i think you should explore that and find evidence of that within the text. For example when you mention text and driving and how dangerous it is because your attention isnt on one task you also give a personal experience, you could draw from that idea and include how the article states that the brain works better when it isnt multitasking. This is how you incorporate your thoughts and the thoughts presented in the article. And lastly i think you should pay special attention to your spelling and word usage. This can be fixed if you reread your writing after you are done, you can even read it out loud to see if it makes sense (this helps me when i'm writing!). Rereading your paper outloud is very helpful because it makes your realize if sentences make sense and sound good as well as catching word errors. I'm sure if you follow these 3 suggestions your writing will definitely improve itself, Keep up the good work! Have a nice day.
