I just can’t get over the taste of Red Bull. Around exam time, Red Bull comes around campus handing out free drinks to students. All I’ve heard is that they taste really gross and give people headaches. I for one got a stomach ache from one, which is weird! Haven’t gone back on it since. Maybe I’ll give guru a try…

Neat! This PDF version in LearnHub looks really cool Libin!

Well, everyone has to have a best right? The best by Britney Spears is Toxic (This could easily be contested! :P)

Word 5:
Cutaneous (Adj)- Relating to or affecting the skin. For example- After trying to swim along the shoreline this weekend, the sharp rocks gave me a cutaneous gash on my left foot. Another example- That sunburn could be described as a cutaneous pigment (adjective basically means to say pigment of the skin).

Hi Sashrick,

I can totally understand where you’re coming from. Reading Comprehension does seem to take a little more time than the rest of the questions do. They also require a different study and skill set to attempt them. The important thing is to stay focused on the important parts of the passages. Scan and look for the thesis, or turn-around words such as Whereas, therefore, otherwise or on-the-other hand. You can use words such as these to guide your comprehension and pick out the important parts of the passage. You can also reduce your boredom by thinking in your head that you’re reading the passage out-loud to yourself. If you imagine that you’re reading it with much more vigor and enthusiasm, you’ll find you’re able to concentrate better and understand more.

Hi Kirankumar,

Usually a statement of purpose is to show reasons to back up a statement for a certain goal, attempt, admission or essay. Are you able to clarify what this statement of purpose is for?

If it is linked to admissions, a school may be interested in what you intent at their institution is. They may want to know how you will benefit from your time actively seeking your MBA, or how this will advance your career goals. Usually a statement of purpose acts very similarly to an essay. The statement of purpose to introduce will function much like a thesis does for an essay.

Wow, 800 on Math, that’s really impressive! If you’re interested in how your scores work in comparison to academic entrances, check out this lesson on SAT Scoring Information. :)

Here’s a new Mini-Essay Topic!

What is your dream job and why?

Be sure to include

• Introductory sentence
• Body sentences to describe and show the reasons why you would like this certain job or career path. This can include how your education or what experience you’ve had in the past can help you achieve your dream job or career path.
• Try to use some vocabulary words within your essay. Make sure you use them in the correct context.
• Finish with a conclusion sentence that summarizes or leaves an open or optimistic thought.

Good luck! We’ll be here to help you improve and let you know which parts we enjoyed! *

That brings the whole “no shoes no service” statement to a whole new level! Thanks for the description albrecht. Sounds like a place that would be very interesting to visit.

These tips are wonderful. It reminds me a lot of the Sunscreen Song. If you enjoyed this and haven’t heard of the Sunscreen Song I definitely suggest it!

Haha! These are really funny. I especially like the last one, there’s so much enthusiasm added with the (!!).

I definitely do the same. I find I always start reading in a sitting position, then it becomes lying on my side and then like two seconds later I’m out like a light. If I want to actually stay up and read I have to avoid my bed!

Avocado. It goes great with most things, sandwiches especially. It adds a hint of decadence and avocados are good for you too!

Great lesson! It’s always beneficial to have a thorough list of literary devices like this to refer to.

I’m adding M.I.A. to the list. She’s pretty unique, I wouldn’t call her rock and I wouldn’t call her alternative. She’s probably best classified as “other”. But M.I.A. is “rocking” the music world with her unique sound and style. From Sri Lanka to London and South East United Kingdom, M.I.A. is challenging my perception of the music scene with each song that hits my ears.
