MY READING METHODS"
Introduction
There are a wide range of different techniques that I can use to study for a particular exam, interview or for other similar purpose. In order for me to choose the study system or series of study techniques that will be most effective for that particular situation, it is essential for me to consider variety of factors.
First, I should identify the overall goal that I am attempting to achieve Secondly, I should understand the material rather than just memorizing it. And thirdly, I should keep my study fluid.
Why do I have to choose a reading style or variety of reading styles?
This means that, I have to shift between different reading styles to enable me study the material(s) as efficiently as possible. In this case, I have to adopt reading style(s) that suits the material I read. These reading styles include; Scanning reading style, skimming reading style and comprehension reading style.

In chapter one, I described my own profession as a builder in the present South Sudan, the types of buildings in use in South Sudan; being traditional huts and modern buildings. I also described how building skills can be acquired in South Sudan. I included the theme, purpose, objectives and the problem statement of the study plus the the research questions as well.
Chapter two
In this chapter, I wrote on the types of buildings in South Sudan, their main functions and the skills needed for their construction. I discussed about different building skills that I have acquired and able to apply/put them into practice. I also described about investigating a construction site before constructing a building in it, productions of burned clay bricks and the qualities of good burned clay bricks.
Chapter three
In this chapter, I discussed details into my professional competence as a builder in South Sudan. I also wrote about how to set a concrete brick wall on a slab, the main reasons for constructing a concrete brick walls and the materials and tools that are necessary for the construction work, the types of wall and qualities of good wall. I further described on how to cast a concrete slab, the materials and tools that are essential for casting slab and making of form work for concrete. I discussed on making of form work, measurement of materials for concrete, the methods of mixing it and the reasons for involving each step. I also discussed on how to cast (lay) the ready mixed concrete materials to its final and desired place. Lastly, how to take care (cure) for laid concrete and the effects of moisture on a curring concrete.
Chapter four
I discussed and analyzed on the design of concrete mixture, the standard ratio(s) of materials for concrete for example cement, sand, aggregate and water. I also pointed on important factors affecting effectiveness of particular concrete materials like; cement,sand, aggregate and water. I described briefly on how and why to reinforce a concrete slab for a building.
I also included key information on how to produce good quality clay bricks that can be used for constructing good quality concrete walls. My report also contain technical hand drawn diagrams that are scanned and attached. For example in figure one a sketch of a corner profile for setting corners of a building, figure two a local tool for compacting concrete and figure three for a standard burned clay bricks.
