COMMUNICATION:
Communication is a part of everything in my life. I use it at school, to complete my classwork and to socialise with my friends. I use both formal and informal language every day. I use formal language when I address my teachers and boss, whereas when I speak to my friends and family I use informal language. Social media is a major part of communication, especially to people that I need to talk to oversees or interstate.

Some ways that I can improve my technology skills are:
- Take some online tutorials on YouTube to enhance by abilities in certain programs like Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop.
- Subscribe to magazines and news feeds that contain links that relate to some technical skills.
- I could talk to people in the Information Technology department at school when I have questions on how to use a program that I need for an assignment. This will help me also in future assignments because I will know how to create my assignment in the program
