Passing the theory test -Without books

Advantages: It works for me i passed
Disadvantages: Boring and repetitive

...I passed my theory test in August 2007, and i was so excited, i prepared myself very well, and i prayed i could pass. How i prepared: To be totally honest i didnt lift a book to prepare for my theory test, i just went online, and i did all the mock tests i could find, and i kept doing them and doing them until i couldnt look another one , and i learnt all the stuff i needed to know and i learnt from the mistakes. I know people read the theory test book, and stuff, but i am awful, any book i lift, i get bored and tired and end up dropping it and sleeping within the half hour, so i knew that wasnt the method for me. I also got the dvd disks which contained all you needed to know for your whole test, including video clips of the hazard preception, practical test show me tell me and then a few mock theory tests. I went on a site...

Review of Member advice on Passing your Driving Theory Test

I Have This Theory...

Advantages: A funny and well told story
Disadvantages: OTT intro, and missing questions.

...Despite this audio recording being available several years before a printed version of the story, I first came across "LT's Theory of Pets in its' written form, when it appeared in King's most recent short story collection, "Everything's Eventual", in 2002. I've previously called it "entertaining", but not the best, and that I had no intention of buying the audio version of it, as I didn't think it was worth any further outlay. This is doubly true because it's read by Stephen King himself, and my previous experiences of his reading have been none too favourable, either. He has a droning, almost monotonous voice, which takes something away from the story. Of course, none of this left me averse to borrowing the tape. So when it was offered to me by a friend of mine called Nikki, a person for whom Stephen King could have written...

Review of LT's Theory of Pets (Audio Book) - Stephen King (Narrator)

conspiracy theory

Advantages: great action/ thriller with Mad Mel
Disadvantages: none

...Director: Richard Donner Producers: Richard Donner and Joel Silver Writer: Brian Helgeland Stars Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts, Patrick Stewart and Cylk Cozart Released in Late 1997 this movie relied on the many conspiracy theories that were circling the globe to create a dramatic thriller of a movie. **BRIEF PLOT** New York cab driver Jerry Fletcher, (played by Mel Gibson), is a conspiracy theory nut. Unfortunately, his mentality is in question as he continues to try to convince his friend, Alice Sutton, (played by Julia Roberts), who works as an attorney in the Justice Department.

Jerry believes the U.S. government are out to get him so spends his life protecting himself, padlocking everything in his flat, such as...

Hybrid Theory Linkin Park

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Linkin Park is one of my favourite bands, they play an alternative American rock/metal music, their first mainstream album Hybrid Theory was an amazing collection of songs. This album has its own unique style of rock music combining scream singing, rapping and electric percussion. The track listing on this cd is: Papercut This is a great song about paranoia, this song really shows of the talents of all members in the band, it is mostly rapped and one of the best songs on the album. One Step Closer This is another amazing song though it is quite an angry song so might not suit all tastes (like most of this album), this song is about not being able being close to breaking point after taking abuse from someone and taking a stand. With You This song is about not being able to get someone out of your head, even though...

Review of Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park

The Theory of Music from A to B.....

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...I would just like to write a review on the AB Guide to Music Theory, a book written by Eric Taylor in conjunction with the syllabus for the graded exams as run for the theory of music by the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music (ABRSM). This review is on Part One, or rather the book that sets out what is covered for Grades one to five. And for those who are interested, Part Two deals with Grades five to eight although there is not an actual area or space to write about this on Ciao for now. But in the meantime, let us return to Part One. As already noted, it is published by the ABRSM to cover thheir syllabus for the theory of music exams and was published first in 1989 although there have been many subsequent publishings since this time. The contents of the book are laid out in this manner: Preface Acknowledgements...

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory Review

Advantages: timeless songs and endless entertianment for evey occasion
Disadvantages: the cover is a big confusing but that would be the only downfall of the product

...Linkin Park has been a favourite band of mine for years now and this was the third CD of theirs that I bought, this amazing CD came out in 2000, a new millennium, a new CD for Linkin Park. Compared to all their other CD?s I have to say that ?Hybrid Theory? is my favourite, the combination of Linkin park songs that most of which have become metal legends, is outstanding. The song that stands out most to me is, of course, Runaway. This song illustrates the injustice of the world in a truly original way. This song exercises the never ending question of ?why?? and ?how?? the first track on this CD is ?Paper cut? also a truly original track. The beginning starts of all mysterious and creepy then the tempo picks up for a few seconds. This is repeated several times throughout the track. The overall effect is astounding and foreboding...

Review of Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park

The Linkin Park Theory UPDATED

Advantages: They are quite energetic, its a good cd with lots of good songs on it
Disadvantages: Its not for everyone's taste

...I personally am quite a big fan of Linkin' Park. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I can understand why Linkin' Park might not be of their taste in music. Anyway, I have decided to write this op on the 6 guy band to get across my view (plus I needed something else to write about lol). THE BAND: Linkin' Park is not just a rock band. This is generally what that they are seen as. The band members describe their music as a "cross-section of many genres; a hybrid of what the six of us have grown up on" explain the lads of Linkin' Park. The title of their lastest album (and its original band name), "Hybrid Theory" describes both the "6 piece's" artistic goal and its approach to making music. Linkin' Park's sound, a 'melting pot' of heavey alternative rock, hip-hop and electronic flourishes is completely their own...

Review of Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park

Hybrid Theory a blend of brilliance

Advantages: Lyrics, blends of different music
Disadvantages: Cure for the Itch

...Hello everyone! This is my first ever review on Ciao! As everybody seems to doing it at school I thought that I had better join in! As I'm new to this I would appreciate comments advising me on how to improve or add things to my opinions. I'm positive they won't be good to start off with so any comments at all would help me a great deal! Anyway, on with the review: Linkin Park - Hybrid theory is one of the best albums of the year in my opinion. Now I'm not a great listener of this particular type of music, but I decided to try this album based on the single Crawling by the same artist. There is a mixture of softer to heavy tracks which makes them all different, this is refreshing and makes it easier to listen to. The album is only 37 minutes long split into 12 tracks. This makes it easy to listen to as it doesn't take that long...

Review of Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park

Oscar Wilde's obsession with books

Advantages: Full of fascinating information about Wilde's life and love of books
Disadvantages: None really, except maybe best enjoyed by those with some prior knowledge of Wilde

...The controversial Victorian playwright and poet Oscar Wilde, so the introduction to this book tells us, ?devoured and luxuriated in books?. He had a lifelong thirst for reading, so it?s not surprising to find that his house in Chelsea was packed with them. Not only was he an avid collector, but he was also an accomplished speed reader with a remarkable ? and to some extent photographic ? memory which helped him to absorb and recall instantly vast amounts of prose and verse. As a reviewer for the Pall Mall Gazette, he could master a book's content, plot or argument in minutes. (If only ciao had been around in those days as well). Maybe it is only fair to get the one major chink in his armour out of the way quickly. Once, when he was preparing a lecture on the poet Chatterton, most of his notes were made up of entire pages and paragraphs...

Review of Oscar's Books - Thomas Wright

A Book Lover

Advantages: Well-drawn characters. Creative use of words.
Disadvantages: A little difficult to adjust to the changing style of writing

...The Book Thief written by Australian author Marcus Zusak was published in Australia in 2005 as an adult novel and in America in 2006 as a children?s novel. It finally came to the UK in 2007 published by Doubleday and Black Swan in both adult and teen-age versions. Though I have to admit, I do not know what the differences between the two versions are! My copy and the one I am reviewing is the adult version. The novel proved to be a triumphant success greeted by glowing accolades from a wide range of literary reviewers ? excerpts of which can be found in the book. The most apt from The Irish Examiner, ?A peculiar tale, whose deceptively plain language and cryptic style describe the most profound of human emotions and the most hideous of human actions . . . an unusual and compelling novel? Set in Nazi Germany during the Second World...
