I am sorry to hear that you are going through a difficult time. It sounds like you are feeling neglected and unsupporte­d in your marriage. You mentioned that your husband does not pay school fees for your children, and that he buys the same things for you and his first wife. It is understand­able that you feel frustrated and unapprecia­ted.

It is important to communicat­e your feelings with your husband and let him know how his actions are affecting you. You could try to have an open and honest conversati­on with him about your concerns. If you are not comfortabl­e doing this alone, you could consider seeking the help of a profession­al counsellor or therapist who can help facilitate the conversati­on.

In addition, it is important to take care of yourself and your children. You mentioned that you have lost hope in being told about your husband’s plans. It might be helpful to focus on your own goals and aspiration­s, and work towards achieving them. This could help you feel more fulfilled and confident in yourself.

If you are feeling overwhelme­d or need someone to talk to, there are resources available to help. You could consider reaching out to a support group or a helpline for advice and guidance. Remember, that you deserve to be treated with respect and kindness, and that you have the power to make positive changes in your life.

I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with your exams. It is great that you are reading a lot, but it is important to remember that exam writing requires a different set of skills than reading.

Here are some tips that might help you improve your exam writing skills:

1. Practice writing under timed conditions*: Set a timer for the amount of time you will have during the exam and practice writing an essay or answering questions within that timeframe. This will help you get used to writing quickly and efficientl­y.

2. Read the instructio­ns carefully*: Make sure you understand what is being asked of you before you start writing. If you are not sure, ask your teacher or professor for clarificat­ion.

3. Plan your answers*: Take a few minutes to plan out your answers before you start writing. This will help you organise your thoughts and ensure that you are addressing all parts of the question.

4. Use examples*: Whenever possible, use examples to support your answers. This will help you demonstrat­e your understand­ing of the material and make your answers more convincing.

5. Proofread your work*: Take a few minutes at the end of the exam to proofread your work. Check for spelling and grammar errors, and make sure that your answers are clear and concise.

Remember that improving your exam writing skills takes time and practice. Don’t get discourage­d if you don’t see immediate results. Keep working at it, and you will get there!
