Introduction According to Howard Gardner in his approach The Multiple Intelligences, we all learn in different ways, the following report has been written to demonstrate how a person learn according to VARK. In order for us to understand what VARK is, let us start with what it stands for. The acronym VARK stands for Visual, Aural, Read/write, and Kinesthetic sensory modalities that are used for learning information. VARK is a questionnaire that provides users with a profile of their learning preferences. These preferences are about the ways that they want to take-in and give-out information. It also provides how people use information for effective learning, communicate more effectively, and perform well in tests and examinations. It is of importance for people to take the VARK questionnaire because they can have a better idea of the way they learn and being aware of this strength they will take better advantage of the given resources and might find not only learning but also other parts of their lives easier than before taking the questionnaire. Results I took the VARK questionnaire and these were my scores: Visual: 7 Aural: 11 Read/Write: 7 Kinesthetic: 6 This means that I have a mild Aural learning preference which is just learning better by hearing and speaking. Aural This perceptual mode describes a preference for information that is 'heard." Students with this modality report that they learn best from lectures, tutorials, and talking to other students. According to my results I am more aural because I enjoy listening and speaking to others which I think it is the best way to do different things because you talk with others and share your opinion and listen to theirs and an entire atmosphere creates of brainstorming, it is really exciting have the opportunity to talk with other what you have learned.

Output
Practice speaking your answers. Listen to your voices and write them down. Tune into your teachers talking about the topics. Spend time in quiet places recalling the big ideas. You may still have to practice writing answers to old exam questions. Imagine you are talking with the teacher as you write your answers.

Explain new ideas to others. Discuss topics with other students. Discuss topics with your teachers. Attend discussion groups and other opportunities to share ideas with others. Remember the interesting examples, stories, and jokes... that people use to explain things.

Convert your notes into a learnable package by reducing them (three pages down to one page) into memorable ways for you to hear. Read summarized aloud. your notes

Aural

Put your summarized notes onto tapes and listen to them. Your notes may be poor because you prefer to listen rather than take notes. You will need to expand your notes by talking with others and collecting notes from the textbook.

Taking the test was very meaningful to my knowledge of myself because it made me be more conscious about the real way I learn. I can be more relaxed now if I do not take the necessary notes. I totally agree with the results I got, I am used to acquire knowledge by listening and talking to other because this way of recalling information make me remember the details and important parts in almost anything. The well used of this information will allow all those aural people to learn and communicate in a better way. In my personal point of view I might use the different tips this questionnaire has offered me for an easier learning.
