Awkward Phrasing

Awkward Phrasing The Virtual Writing Tutor has thousands of rules to catch grammar errors and word choice errors, but only just a few to catch awkward phrasings. The reason is that an awkward phrasing is not necessarily incorrect. It is, well, awkward. As such, unless the awkward phrase is really jarring or really common, I usually let it slide. Anyway, it is sometimes difficult to know what exactly is meant by phrases such as, according to my memory, he proposed to me, a car that is a gift, my big parents house, and it hurt my heart. The Virtual Writing Tutor grammar checker is, after all, a machine. It doesnt understand you. It merely scans your sentences for patterns in its database of error definitions. It dont want it to misinterpret what you have written and give you bad feedback. However, here are a few awkward phrasings I couldnt let slide. You must admit, some readers would be left scratching their heads by these surprising sentences. According  to  me/my  memory AWKWARD:   According to me, the best way to get downtown is to take the train.BETTER:   In  my  opinion, the best way to get downtown is to take the train. AWKWARD:   According to my memory, my most spectacular success has to be back when I was 10 years old and I won a sword fighting championship.BETTER:   When I think back on my life, my most spectacular success has to be back when I was 10 years old and I won a sword fighting championship. EXPLANATION:    The phrase According  to  X means If what X says is true. It is strange to doubt the truth of ones own memories. You may often suspect that you have forgotten one or more details, but only mentally deranged people have memories of things that never happened. If you are concerned that you might have might have remembered a detail incorrectly, you can say, If memory serves  me  well or If I am not mistaken. When you say according to me, you sound crazy. Proposed  to  me AWKWARD:   While I was walking, I saw my friend and he proposed to me to embark in his car.BETTER:   While I was walking, I saw my friend and he proposed that I embark in his car. BETTER  STILL:   While I was walking, I saw my friend and he invited  me  to get in his car. EXPLANATION:    The most common context in which we use the phrase he  proposed  to  me is when we wish to say he proposed that we get married. It sounds very formal. Otherwise, companies might propose solutions, as in, my company had  proposed  to  me  that I could come back to work after having the baby which you can find in the BNC-COCA corpus here. In any case, the phrase he proposed to me sounds overly formal for most contexts. A new car that is gift AWKWARD:   She got a new car that is gift from her parents.BETTER:   She got a new car as a gift from her parents. AWKWARD:   Sarah got a job that is nurse.BETTER:   Sarah got a job as a nurse. EXPLANATION:    A relative clause following that helps us identify which one is being discussed. You might say, I bought the dress that was on sale. It tell us, not any dress but a specific dress. Since we already know in our example sentence that she got a car, we dont need to ask Which car? We already know. Rather, what we want to know is why she got the car or how she got it. In such a case, as a gift tells us more useful information. Similarly, we know in our second example that Sarah got a job. Which job is obvious. It is the job that Sarah got. What we want to know is what kind of job. A job as a nurse provides the information we dont already know. My big parents house AWKWARD:   I went to my big parents house early in the morning.BETTER:   I went to my eldest uncles house early in the morning. EXPLANATION:    Only a Korean or somebody who is familiar with Korean culture would understand what a big parent or a big father or a big house is. English does not have a word for the patriarchal head of the family in this way, so you must specify that you are referring to your fathers eldest brother when you write in English. Otherwise, it sounds awkward. It hurt my heart AWKWARD:   When I saw the dogs in their cages, it hurt my heart. BETTER:   When I saw the dogs in their cages, it made my heart ache. EXPLANATION:    While the meaning will be clear to most readers, it hurt my heart is not a common expression in English for the emotional pain we feel when we see something sad or pitiable. Instead, we say my heart aches for X, or it made my heart ache to see X. Please follow and like us:

How to get started with Online Tuition via Skype

How to get started with Online Tuition via Skype Have you ever thought about Tutoring from the comfort of your own home? Online tutoring is an ever-growing field as more and more people are finding the ease of being taught in the comfort of their own homes more viable. Online tuition connects students with private tutors via the internet and the lessons are carried out in real time.This guide is aimed at tutors hoping to set themselves up as an online tutor; widening their student scope and making themselves more available. Installing Skype The first (and most fundamental) thing is to have a computer that is linked to the internet with a good broadband connection. It is also important to invest in a microphone headset as the sound quality will be better than a built-in webcam and microphone that many computers come with today. The microphone headset will usually cost around 10 to 15. The next thing to do is make sure you have Skype on your computer. Skype is basically internet based communication software by Microsoft that specialises in providing free video chat and free voice calls for users from all over the world. Skype users will only require Skype credit (where you will need to pay) when calling landline or mobile numbers. Setting up a Skype account is an easy task and many tutors will already have a Skype account ready. But for those that don't here is a quick and easy guide for setting up a Skype account: First you'll need to download and install the latest version of Skype. It's a very easy process and it is completely free. Just follow these nine simple steps: Type www.skype.com in the address line of your internet browser. Click the download button on the home page and Skype will begin to download. (If the download doesn't start automatically you can start it manually by clicking Start Download Again). If you are prompted to save or open the program always choose save the file to your hard drive. Do not open or run the program during the download process! . Choose an easy to remember location (such as Windows Desktop) and click OK. When your download is complete double-click the Skype Setup program (or click Run if you have the option). When the installer program launches it will ask you to choose a language; select it from a drop-down menu. Read and accept the End User License Agreement to proceed. You may be asked to install certain other browser add-ons but if you don't want them just uncheck the box and click Next. Click the Options button. This page gives you the option to launch Skype as soon as the installation is complete. The box is already checked (just uncheck the box if you don't want it to launch right away). Click I agree - Install. Skype will ask you to set up an account by entering a Name, a Skype Name and Password. The next screen asks for your e-mail, country and city. Once you complete this Skype will automatically launch. And that's the installation process done! You are now well on your way to start the online tutoring process!

Check that your sound functions.Test your speakers, microphone and Webcam to make sure they are all working properly. Find friends and import contactsYou'll be able to search for people and check whether your email contacts are on Skype. After you have explored and got to know a bit more about the program you'll want to set up your Skype name and password. Your Skype name is what other people on Skype see when they contact you i.e. GeographyTutorEmma133. Setting up your Skype name and password: Click the Don't have a Skype Name? (The Create a New Account page opens). In the Enter Skype Name box, enter the name you have decided to use.

June Language Challenge Update Learning Brazilian Portuguese

June Language Challenge Update Learning Brazilian Portuguese Jairet has his own blog called The Crummy Life and is taking the June Challenge and just posted this update. Reposted with permission. Original Post here. June italki Language Challenge Update: Brazilian Portuguese Olá! Tudo bem? This month I am participating in the June italki Language Challenge. Maybe you saw my first post with my public pledge video, where I said what I aim to accomplish and used a bit of português brasileiro. What did you think? Well it is time for an update, because week three has just begun. With my birthday in week one, and being in a wedding in week two, life has been packed  to the gills  with action and excitement. I originally set the goal of taking three classes per week so that I could easily expect to meet the challenge of completing twelve total hours in June. Then, my family gave me the dates for our annual trip to Lake Tahoe, June 22nd 29th! Luckily this happened in week one. I made the decision to up the ante  to finish the challenge a week early so that I dont have to finish the challenge while on vacation, just to take away the need to be in front of a computer while I want to be on the lake, on a hike, or rock climbing with my wild man father. In week one, I completed three sessions. In week two, I completed four more sessions. Now we are in week three, and I have completed one more lesson. Also, I have four more scheduled before the family fills up the cars on the 22nd. That means I have completed eight, and I have sessions nine through twelve scheduled already! I am on track to complete the challenge on June 21st, over one week early. Thats all for now.

The Benefits of a Term Tutor

The Benefits of a Term TutorWhen looking for a full-time, part-time or vacationing teaching position, you may find that taking on a term-teacher is an option that appeals to you. In this day and age, people are seeking out more options for a variety of reasons, including getting more out of their work at the job, wanting a new challenge, being bored with their current employment, or wanting to be able to spend more time with family.Teaching in college provides many advantages for students. Some colleges require a certain amount of training for prospective teachers; others do not. For those who have not completed their college degree but would like to teach in college, there are places for them, as well.Some universities and colleges offer courses that teach the basics of teaching, including teaching how to create an effective lesson plan, how to provide information to students, and how to teach introductory classes. Other universities and colleges offer courses in areas such as human services, nutrition, health science, English literature, etc. Other degrees include teaching assistantships and adjunct teaching positions. However, if you have a bachelor's degree, these positions are open to you.As an adjunct or visiting teacher, you can earn more than a full-time salary. An adjunct is paid less than a regular teacher, but will typically have additional duties and responsibilities. As a part-time, or on-campus teaching, you will find it much easier to fit into your own schedule, even if you are working full-time.Whether you want to teach on campus, online, in the classroom, or as a part-time, you can find that teaching part-time provides many benefits, most importantly time flexibility. Part-time jobs can allow you to take care of your own children, care for an elderly parent, care for a sick relative, participate in sports, volunteer in your community, or do other things that make you happy. Ifyou need to take care of yourself, this type of work can help you ach ieve that goal.Working for yourself enables you to spend a whole lot more time with your family. In the case of a full-time position, you often have a long commute to your home or the office. If you are often away from home, working on your own provides you with the ability to maintain a regular schedule. As you can see, teaching a full-time position can sometimes seem too demanding, but a part-time job allows you the freedom to be able to balance your other activities while continuing to make a living.Before you decide that you want to get into this type of employment, you should talk to your family and friends, as well as retirement plans. You can also read through the Wall Street Journal to find out what other employers are saying about the profession.

Maths lends itself to a range of transferrable skills which could benefit you in your chosen subject, even if only to help you to apply a rational thought process or make logical, well-thought out decisions.It is quite fascinating to think that Maths is the only language that is exactly the same for all humans, regardless of nationality, culture, religion or gender. Just like Pi is always going to be roughly 3.14 no matter who or where you are, the principal Maths tools and functions are exactly the same for everyone.In fact, as a subject that is purely logical and objective, Maths is one of the few subjects whereby you can really measure yourself against the rest.If you know a Maths answer, you know it - there are no two ways around the situation. The only place that students could fall short of getting the same top mark that a fellow pupil got is if they failed to show all of their working out.You won't be able to use a calculator in your Maths exam as the examiner will want to see your working out.

For instance, do you buy that special something that you’ve been waiting to purchase even though it could leave you short on money? It is at times like these when you may need to rack your brains to work out if you can make up for the funds in your next pay packet or if you can afford to put the item in question on your credit card to be repaid at a later date.Admittedly, complicated equations don’t come in to play (unless you are a student who has a lot of ti me on their hands!) however you will often find yourself using mental arithmetic to add, deduct, multiply and even divide during this stage of newfound freedom.Learn what to expect from A-Level Maths at School.Career Prospects For Students With A Maths QualificationBy studying Maths, you can develop a range of skills that are sought after by employers and that will also help you throughout your day to day life. For example, Maths encourages logical thinking, decision-making and problem-solving.Without these properties deep-rooted into your senses and responses, you would not be able to get by in our modern and complex Western society.What’s more, with the world very quickly turning towards technical solutions and automation, we are constantly interacting with machines and devices. These interactions and functions require us to have a basic understanding of logic, analytics as well as other technical skills if we are to move forward with our lives with ease, embracing newfound tech nologies.Careers involving Maths are usually permanent, which is promising if you are keen on finding a stable career, not to mention the fact that Maths graduates earn on average a much higher starting salary than other industries.Along with this fantastic introductory pay package, the potential to rise up the salary scale is a huge advantage for the professionals.Maybe you didn't take A level Maths at school but now wish to as an adult. Find out how to resit your A Level Maths later in life here.Balancing The BooksFurthermore, if you are self-employed and need to take charge of your accounts, then having a good grounding in Maths can be extremely useful and could potentially save you money.
