Writing 01 - Conduct Research
The process of learning in a human being begins while the baby is still in the womb through inputs from the mother. Once the child comes into the world it starts assimilating everything that surrounds it. The mother and other family members are important elements in providing the necessary inputs for the child’s growth.
Once he starts going to school the young person begins to learn languages apart from his own mother tongue; foreign letters, words, grammar and speech. The school process helps the child to develop and learn. He begins to ask questions. Sometimes these questions are answered in text books or by teachers, parents or friends. Sometimes the questions don’t get answered and the child begins to wonder how he can find the answers to his questions. This is where the concept of research enters into the child’s world.
