But
Perhaps
irony
is
the
biggest
test
of
a
child
actor's
gifts.
But
look
at
how
Macaulay
Culkin
disappears
into
the
role
of
Kevin
McAllister
in
Home
Alone
while
also
bringing
a
self-aware
dimension
to
it.
In
the
film,
Culkin
is
asked
to
not
only
play
a
child
but
play
the
embodiment
of
a
universal
human
fantasy,
then
show
the
downside
of
that
fantasy
when
it's
fulfilled.
When
he
and
possibly
murderous
snow-shoveling
neighbour
Roberts
Blossom
sit
together
in
a
church
pew
and
discuss
their
shared
loneliness,
we
see
a
child
experiencing
the
kind
of
depression
about
being
alone
at
Christmas
almost
exclusively
reserved
for
adults.The
Academy
Awards
are
determined
by
the
campaigns
that
are
mounted
and
the
narratives
that
are
created
by
publicists
and
studio
marketing
executives
as
much
as
by
anything
else,
and
children,
though
capable
of
acting
at
its
best,
usually
can't
deliver
on
this
part
of
the
Oscar
process,
whether
because
of
school
or
family
commitments.
That's
yet
another
reason
why
so
few
child
performers
are
nominated
in
the
competitive
categories.
But
the
Academy
needs
to
bring
back
the
Juvenile
Award
to
address
these
oversights.The
Academy
has
always
had
a
preference
for
showy
performances
bordering
on
the
hysterical.
Maybe,
by
contrast,
there's
a
feeling
that
children
can
only
play
themselves.
But
then
how
do
you
account
for
nine
year
old
Jackie
Cooper's
famous
meltdown
in
The
Champ
primal
wails
and
hair
pulling
when
he
learns
his
father
has
died?
And
if
you
feel
the
opposite
is
true,
that
it's
hard
for
children
to
be
understated
and
not
mug
for
the
camera,
you
need
to
see
The
Black
Stallion,
where
11-year-old
Kelly
Reno,
as
a
shipwrecked
child
alone
on
an
island
with
only
an
equine
companion,
delivers
a
performance
so
minimalist
he
could
have
been
a
muse
for
Robert
Bresson.
Don't
think
children
can
be
villainous?
Take
a
look
at
Douglas
Silva
as
the
murderous
pre
teen
gangster
L'il
Ze
in
City
of
God.
But
surely
a
child
can
never
play
anything
but
a
child,
right?
Then
you
haven't
seen
Haley
Joel
Osment
in
AI
Artificial
Intelligence
portray
a
robot
who's
playing
the
role
of
a
child
for
a
childless
mother.
The
entire
performance
is
a
child
actor's
detached
commentary
on
the
nature
of
not
just
childhood
but
humanity
itself.
Karnataka’s
capital
city
has
entered
a
phase
of
chronic
failure.
No
longer
the
city
of
lakes
and
famed
gardens,
it
has
lost
an
estimated
0.79
of
water
bodies
and
0.8
of
its
tree
cover
from
the
baseline
year
of
1973
Successive
governments
in
the
State
have
ignored
the
rampant
encroachment
of
lake
beds
and
catchment
areas
for
commercial
exploitation,
and
the
pollution
caused
by
sewage,
industrial
effluents
and
garbage,
which
contributed
to
the
blaze
on
Bellandur
lake.
The
neglect
is
deliberate,
since
some
of
the
finest
urban
ecologists
in
the
city
have
been
warning
that
government
inaction
is
turning
Bengaluru
into
an
unliveable
mess.
It
is
time
the
State
government
took
note
of
the
several
expert
recommendations
that
have
been
made,
including
those
of
the

Learn how to touch type
Touch typing is all about the idea that each
finger has its own area on the keyboard. Thanks to that fact you can
type without looking at the keys. Practice regularly and your fingers
will learn their location on the keyboard through muscle memory.
Sitting posture for typing
Sit straight and remember to keep your back straight. Keep your elbows bent at the right angle. Face the screen with your head slightly tilted forward. Keep at least 45 - 70 cm of distance between your eyes and the screen.Еxpose the shoulder, arm, and wrist muscles to the least possible strain. The wrists can touch the tabletop in front of the keyboard. Never shift your body weight to the wrists by resting on them.
Home row position
Curve your fingers a little and put them on the ASDF and JKL; keys which are located in the middle row of the letter keys. This row is called HOME ROW because you always start from these keys and always return to them.
F and J keys under your index fingers should have a raised line on them to aide in finding these keys without looking.
Keyboard scheme
The color-coded keyboard under lesson input field will help you to understand which finger should press each key.
Hit keys only with the fingers for which they have been reserved. Always return to the starting position of the fingers "ASDF – JKL;" When typing, imagine the location of the symbol on the keyboard. Establish and maintain a rhythm while typing. Your keystrokes should come at equal intervals. The SHIFT key is always pressed by the pinky finger opposite to the one hitting the other key. Use the thumb of whichever hand is more convenient for you to press the Space bar.
This method may seem inconvenient at first, but do not stop, eventually, you'll find out that you are typing quickly, easily, and conveniently. To achieve the maximum result, choose a paragraph for your keyboard layout and in the desired language.
Fingers motion
Don't look at the keys when you type. Just slide your fingers around until they find the home row marking. Limit your hand and finger movement only to what is necessary to press a specific key. Keep your hands and fingers close to the base position. This improves typing speed and reduces stress on the hands.
Pay attention to ring fingers and little fingers, since they are considerably underdeveloped.
Typing speed
Do not rush when you just started learning. Speed up only when your fingers hit the right keys out of habit. Take your time when typing to avoid mistakes.The speed will pick up as you progress. Always scan the text a word or two in advance. Pass all typing lessons at Ratatype. It will help you to get above the average typing speed.
Take care of yourself
Take a break if you feel that you get distracted easily and are making a lot of mistakes. It is more productive to come back when you feel refreshed.
