English Phrases and Idioms connected with Autumn English Vocabulary

English Phrases and Idioms connected with Autumn English Vocabulary Well, here we are and Autumn has arrived. Certainly if you are living in the Northern hemisphere you  should now be experiencing the first signs of Autumn. The trees in the forest just behind my house  are a mix of deciduous  (they always lose their leaves in Autumn) and evergreens  (they retain their  leaves throughout the year). The deciduous trees are beginning to shed their leaves and the colours  or hues  (synonym for colour) are changing from green to yellow brown and rustic reds.The Americans usually refer to Autumn as The Fall. The effects are the same. In the not too distant  future we will be talking about “beer festivals” (in Germany), Halloween across Europe and America  and other festivals connected with the harvests and the religious practices of many countries In my house it is time to put away the light summer clothes and get out the winter woollies  (warmer  clothes). We don’t actually hibernate  (go to sleep for the winter) but we do change our habits a little.Heavy shoes replace sandals  (flip flops), the boots are ready and jumpers and rain coats replace tee  shirts and jackets. I love to see the chestnuts falling. I always collect a few. It reminds me of my  childhood. We called them “conkers”. We had a simple game with conkers that we always played in  late September and through the early weeks of Autumn. You put a small hole through your  chestnut/conker and tied a knot in it then challenged your friends to see whose conker was the  strongest. You took turns striking your opponents’ conker with your conker. The winner was the one  that did not break. (careful it can be a little sore on your fingers!!)There are lots of English phrases and idioms connected with Autumn that are very useful.

Three Tips for GMAT Sentence Correction Comparison Questions

Three Tips for GMAT Sentence Correction Comparison Questions GMAT MBA Admissions Blog GMAT sentence correction questions are part of the verbal section of the GMAT. As you probably know, with these questions, you are presented with a sentence, part or all of which is underlined. There are five answer choice options, and each one is a different way to replace the underlined part. The first answer is always the same as the underlined portion, but next four are different. You must pick the answer choice which reflects the best way to complete the sentence. GMAT sentence questions test your ability to use the English language accurately, effectively, and as concisely as possible. We previously wrote a blog article that covers eight major concepts that are often tested on in GMAT sentence correction questions. One of those concepts concerns how to appropriately use and write about comparisons. Navigating through questions about comparisons are likely to be a major element of your journey through the GMAT sentence correction section. The video above offers a simple approach to effectively managing comparison questions. It recommends the following steps: Set up your scratch pad with the answer choices for process of elimination purposes Draw a line where you’ll articulate the issue within the sentence as written Read the sentence with an eye towards articulating the issue within the sentence as written (in this case, the issue is an odd or illogical comparison, which is why we call this a comparison question) Note â€" steps 1-3 apply to all GMAT sentence correction questions, while 4-7 are specific to “comparison” questions. By identifying key phrases, in this case “unlike,” underline what is being compared, as well as what it’s being compared to. Determine whether the current comparison makes sense? Can you compare the two things or not? Go through each remaining answer choice, without focusing on the sentence in its entirety, and just consider whether the answer choices compare things that can in fact be compared. If not, eliminate that answer (the trick is to just focus on the two things being compared in the text as written) Once you have vectored in on an answer that compares two things appropriately, sub in the new underlined information into the sentence and re-read it to check for overall flow and meaning, just to ensure you didn’t miss something.

How One Student Learned to Love the Kumon Program

How One Student Learned to Love the Kumon Program How One Student Learned to Love the Kumon Program Meet Rachel. The bubbly 11-year-old enjoys riding her bike with friends and practicing martial arts. Like many fifth graders, Rachel is studying multiplication and division in school. Unlike her classmates, however, Rachel is not concerned about the prospect of fractions on the horizon. That’s because she already mastered them in Kumon. In fact, she’s studying advanced algebra in Kumon, completing work that’s five years above her school grade level. Kumon wasn’t always a breeze for Rachel. When she started, she tried any method she could think of to avoid doing her worksheets. And by any method, we mean any method. Rachel would tell her Instructor that the dog ate her homeworkâ€"even though she didn’t have a dog. She would roll her worksheets into a ball, grind them with a cheese grater, and then throw away the evidence. Once, she  chucked her worksheets into a fire pit. She even soaked her worksheets in water, hid them in the freezer, and broke the frozen sheets into pieces. Eventually, Rachel realized that no matter how many worksheets she destroyed, her Instructor would always have a replacement. She reluctantly started completing her worksheets  and soon discovered it wasn’t as difficult as she feared. She began to excel in school, and the tradeoff more than made up for having to do some extra work in the evenings. Rachel is now so advanced in math that she finishes  both her classwork and homework during school, leaving her with plenty of time to tackle her Kumon at home. Rachel’s early struggles in Kumon prepared her for her favorite extracurricular activity, Hapkido. Hapkido is a hybrid martial art that focuses on several techniques, including throwing and kicks. Rachel was already a veteran Kumon Student when she started Hapkido, so she knew her practices wouldn’t always be easy. As a result, she doesn’t get discouraged when she can’t master a kick right away. Instead, when she struggles with a new move, she takes a step back, rests, and then tries again. Eventually, she figures it out and moves onto the next technique, just like in Kumon. The road to success isn’t always easy. Taking on something new, like Kumon, can seem like an insurmountable task at first. However, with some practice and perspective, what seemed impossible eventually becomes doable. The worksheets Rachel worked so hard to destroy seven years ago could probably be completed in mere seconds now. The basic kicks she learned when first starting Hapkido could probably be done in her sleep. Rachel will continue to face difficult problems in Kumon and learn complex moves in Hapkido, but she’ll keep trying and will master them, too.

3 Reasons Your Landlord Might Not Allow Subletting

3 Reasons Your Landlord Might Not Allow Subletting pexels.com Financial Loss Even if you sublet your apartment and go through the proper channels with the property’s rules and regulations, there is still a chance that whoever you find to sublet your apartment will not pay. The pool of potential subtenants is small and it can be difficult to find someone you actually know to sublet a room or apartment. That means you are entrusting your space to a complete stranger. You might find them trustworthy and want to take their word, but even friends can go back on what they say. If you are not there at the property, how can you guarantee that they will pay? What if they pay late and your property managers charge you a late fee? Who pays it, you or the subtenant? The subtenant should be the one to pay but they might not and then you will be stuck with the fees. If you do not monitor the situation closely, the landlord might end up evicting your subtenant, and in essence, you. Then they will have to file an eviction lawsuit against you in order to recuperate the funds they have lost because of this interloper who never paid rent. And you will often be the one sued, not the subtenant. The point of renting the property out is to make money off of it and so whether the subtenant pays or not, the landlord will get their due. The rent must be paid. This is why your landlord can be hesitant to allow subletting, and really, can you blame them? Fraudulent Identity If you do not go through the official channels to sublet your property and just accept someone to live in your space in your stead while you are away, the landlord has no idea who is living in their space. The person living in the space ends up not going through a background check or leaving a paper trail as to their whereabouts. This is pretty sketchy and frowned upon by most property owners. Doing background checks and screening people before allowing them to live in a property is important, especially as most subtenants are strangers even to the tenants. Landlords need to know who is staying in the property in order to protect it and other tenants properly. What if this person has a record of being evicted or has been unable to hold down a job? It is the property owner’s right to know that information. Even beyond economic means, there are other reasons why landlords need to know about the people living in their properties. What if a subtenant is actually a sexual offender? Sexual offenders often have regulations in place about where they live. If they are able to move into a location without being screened, they could be living in a place where they are breaking the law. More than breaking the law, it could be putting the safety of the other people who live on or in the property at risk. The landlord themselves could get in trouble for this and it could severely damage their business. It is just another reason why many landlords do not approve of subletting. pexels.com Property Damage Especially when a subtenant has not been screened by the property owners, there is a higher chance of property damage. The lease is not under their name, so it may very well not matter to them. An unofficial subtenant might not know the rules of the property in order to report a problem and might let a problem wait until it gets so big it has become a disaster. If the landlord does not require renters to get renters insurance, they could be plumb out of luck if there is any damage. And who should pay for the damage? The subtenant or the actual tenant whose name is on the lease? What if the subtenant does not have renters insurance? It brings up myriad questions that are hard to answer. The longer it takes to repair the damage, the longer a landlord must wait to put a new person into the space in order to make back the money they have lost. Even if a landlord does not have to pay themselves to repair the property, they lose money simply by not having a tenant in the space.

5 Ways to Have a Well-Rounded Experience on Campus

5 Ways to Have a Well-Rounded Experience on Campus 5 things students should do to have a well-rounded experience on campus Although a few students figure out how to have an excellent work/life balance straight off the bat, most need some time to adjust to the various rigors of studying and living on a college campus. Because living on campus immerses students entirely into their college experience, it can sometimes be hard to achieve this balance and still maintain a good GPA. Although the first semester of freshman year will always be an adjustment, there are some ways students can keep a well-rounded experience while living on campus our private Orange County college tutors are here to help you make the most of your college years. 1.   Dont always take your homework home with you Nearly every student studies in the dorm because they need to work into the late hours of the night or just want a cozy place to complete an assignment. However, it’s beneficial for students to spend some time studying outside of their room. Whether they go to the library or the study room found on the first floor of most dorms, saving their room for sleep and relaxation will help maintain an overall balance. Also, alternate study locations on campus tend to have fewer distractions than a dorm room with a roommate. 2.   Look for new ways to make friends Unless a student is attending a school close to home with a lot of their high school friends they will need to think about ways to make new friends and have a healthy social balance on campus. Some great ways for students to form new friendships is to join a social club, form a study group, make friends with other students in the dorm, or look for motivated and fun classmates. If students are feeling especially isolated, there are lots of social clubs that celebrate a particular culture, gender, or interest. This is a great way for students to get to know other people who have something in common with them either in their background or their particular field of study. In fact, students can make excellent networking connections through on-campus social clubs that can help them later in their career. 3.   Make independent study a priority Although studying in a social environment can be more fun and sometimes more encouraging, students new to college also need to make independent study a top priority. Some assignments are just better done in the peace and quiet of the library study room with little to no distraction. Studying solo is one of the best ways students can maintain a high GPA and discern their strengths and weaknesses at this level of learning. It also allows students to develop academic skills and study methods that meet their specific learning styles (READ: Going Back to College A Mature Students Guide). 4.   Leave time for healthy eating and exercise College campuses are notorious for unhealthy food and, although students walk all around campus, they often sit in the same position for hours at a time. One of the best ways to combat these difficulties is to utilize the school’s fitness center and make sure theyre getting a balanced diet. Even if a student eats a lot of junk on their meal plan, they can eat healthy foods such as fresh fruits and veggies without needing to cook at all. 5.   Spend some time off campus once in a while Its also important for students to spend a little bit of time off campus every now and again. Although the majority of their socialization will be on campus, there are tons of things going on out there past the edge of the school parking lot. Students should immerse themselves in the town or city theyre studying in, get to know its local culture, and see what type of job opportunities will be available to them upon graduation. Once done with college, students won’t be grouped in with people exactly their age ever again. Its good for college students to interact in some way with individuals in the general public, so they are prepared to join a diverse workplace and socialize with different types of people.
