I am not sure why people  think I know where every thing is located but even when I have been visiting an unknown city to me I  still, strangely, get asked. When I know the city and know the location of where the stranger  wishes to go (to get to) I try and make my directions as clear as possible. Here is a sample of the common phrases you can use to give directions in English: CARRY STRAIGHT ON this means to continue walking or driving in the same direction. Usually you indicate with your arm or hand.KEEP TO YOUR LEFT/RIGHT This means that you shouldn’t change direction or cross the street.For  example, as you walk along the street keep to your left/right.WHEN YOU GET/COME TO   This means when you arrive at a particular place identified (roundabout,  traffic lights, crossroads, etc) you have to change direction.For example, carry on straight  [1]  along this  road , keep to your left  [2] when you g et to  [3] the traffic lights turn left/right.HANG A RIGHT/LEFT Slang word or phrase to mean take a right or left turn.For example, when you  get to the traffic lights hang a right (take the turning right).LOOK/WATCH OUT FOR   this usually means to try and identify a certain landmark (important building)  like a church or statue, something that is noticeable.For example: Carry straight on  [ 1] along this  road, keep to your left  [ 2] when you come to  [3] the roundabout, take/hang a left  [4] at the roundabout and look out for  [5]  the large statue of the Soldier.   You should then see your hotel on the   left/right.Giving directions requires the use of many different prepositions.

How to Speak Your Mind in Your Internship Finding Your Voice

How to Speak Your Mind in Your Internship Finding Your Voice Image via Pixabay Now more than ever, finding your voice and speaking your mind seems to be a critical component of being engaged in the larger global conversation on a variety of issues. Young school children to corporate executives have found it necessary and fulfilling to let their voices be heard. Transparent communication is highly coveted in any professional workspace including internships. However, some employees do not speak up because they do not feel like their ideas and thoughts will be valued. Or, they feel as though nothing will be done about a comment they make or suggestion they give. The same goes for interns whether paid or unpaid. Depending on what type of industry you intern in, you may or may not feel like “part of the team” because, well, you’re an intern. You are there primarily to train and gain experience. Everyone has probably been there longer than you and they know more than you. I get how you feel. When I was an intern in college, I didn’t want to come off as a smart aleck so I did what they told me even if I knew I could do it better. But as time went on, I got to know the supervisor and some of the teachers better and felt like part of the team enough to give my two cents. Thankfully, it was well-received. Your voice defines who you are and the value you bring to a company or internship experience. In many cases, it isn’t that people don’t understand you; rather, it is that your identity is too often being defined by what you don’t say than by what you do say. Consistently communicating what is on your mind helps to ensure your identity isn’t misrepresented. So the question is not whether you should speak your mind; rather, it is how you should speak your mind without overstepping your boundaries as an intern. Here is some advice: Keep Calm and Speak On You’ve probably heard that it’s not what you say but how you say it that matters. There is a lot of truth in that. Be confident in what you want to say and be cool, calm, and collected when you say it. When people seem rough or are ready to take offense, don’t take it personally. If your boss is particularly hard to work with, speak with intention and be okay with everyone not sharing your view. Be Respectful This should go without saying but in our harshly divisive society, show respect in your words and in your tone. Since most likely you’re not a full-time employee just yet, let the boss know that you know your place and you value his or her position and opportunity. Sometimes, people are in a bad mood or have it in their heads that all people are one way when that may not be true about you. For example, someone may think you have an attitude when, in reality, you don’t. (I’ve had this happen to me more than I care to count.) Don’t try to defend yourself. Remember, they are the boss. There is power in being the calmest person in the room. If There Are Rules, Follow Them Before you give advice or make a helpful suggestion, make sure you’re following the rules. Bosses don’t like it when interns don’t fulfill their duties but want to jump into something else. Take time to read the policy book or at least the job duties and ensure that you are doing your part. Your ideas will be more welcomed and appreciated  if you’re already following protocol and see an area that can be improved. Be Concise Sometimes when a younger counterpart (intern) is speaking to an older counterpart (supervisor), we tend to preface any statement with, “I’m really sorry, but …”. There is no need to do that. People are very busy and don’t have a whole lot of time to hear you out, honestly. If you think something should be done or not done or changed, drop all the qualifiers and apologetic language and get to the point. Don’t try to fill the silent space with more words because you may end up being less effective. Say what you have to say and then listen for a response. Don’t Burn Bridges You may need your supervisor or your co-workers later on in life. For example, you may need for your boss to give you a good reference to get a full-time job after college. You may want to stay connected to your intern co-workers for future networking. If so, don’t destroy these vital relationships. Avoiding gossip, opinion-slamming, judgment, cursing, yelling, screaming matches, and angry tones, words, emails, and text messages can go a long way in your future endeavors. There is a reason why certain people get ahead faster than others. It is because they speak up and let their voices be heard. Your work experience is not a contest of popularity but it should be a place in which you grow and mature. If you are deliberate in how you speak, other people will take notice and value your voice.

Each video is captioned, and the captions are annotated. Whenever you need a little extra help, just hover over a word to see its definition, example sentences and an associated image. If the word or phrase appears in other videos on FluentU, youll also see those videos listed, providing a quick way to see the word in a different context.Each video is accompanied by a vocabulary list that highlights key words you might not know yet.

Filtering options can help you narrow down your video choices.For instance, you can filter videos based on the six skill levels. You can also filter by topic to find videos with a special focus, like business, culture, everyday life and more.

Just type in whatever you want to learn about: taxi, manners, hiking, anything!Using multimedia resources like FluentU can really impact your learning for the better. One study from the American Psychological Association  suggests that language students may remember vocabulary better when they have access to both verbal and visual annotation, which means that hearing the word while seeing a physical representation can be exceptionally useful.2. Listen to music.Music lovers, take note! FluentU offers music videos in addition to other great v ideo content.Listening to music is a terrific way to learn a language.  One study published by TESOL Quarterly suggests that songs can help students learn sounds, rhythm/stress, formulae, syntactical items and vocabulary, all of which are important for language students. The repetition used in songs makes them especially memorable, so theyre convenient study tools.And FluentU provides a great way to learn a language through songs. Because videos are captioned, you dont have to struggle to differentiate between words, and you can quickly find the meaning of any vocabulary you dont immediately recognize. Plus, you can listen to spoken audio of words, allowing you to hear them outside of the stylized context of the song.3. Listen to audio dialogues.FluentU also offers audio dialogues. These dialogues can help you learn valuable keywords and sentences. Just like FluentUs videos, the audio dialogues are captioned so that you can read along and have easy access to definitions and example sentences.Plus, you can download audio dialogues to study offline, allowing you to study even in a Wi-Fi wasteland or while aboard a flight.FluentUs audio offerings differ depending on the language.

You can even create multiple vocabulary lists, allowing you to organize words based on theme, difficulty level or even how important they are to learn.Once youve entered a word into your vocabulary list, youll have it on hand the next time you want to reinforce what youve learned.5. Use flashcards.Want to use an existing flashcard set? Want to create your own? With FluentU , you can do either!FluentU has dozens of existing flashcard sets, particularly at the beginning levels. Students can use these to develop the foundations of their vocabulary, making it easier to watch beginning-level videos.Crafting your own flashcard sets is just as easy! You can use your existing vocabulary lists to make flashcards that target the specific words you know you need to learn.And unlike paper flashcards, FluentUs digital flashcards provide additional support, including audio and example sentences. But FluentUs flashcards offer so much more than that! Activities interspersed throughout lessons help you practice using vocabulary in context.6. Read example sentences.Each FluentU word entry is accompanied by example sentences, giving you a realistic look of how the word can be used in the real world. Example sentences also offer audio, so you can hear how the word sounds in context.Not only that, but if the word appears in other videos on FluentU, you can also see exampl e sentences from those videos, making it easy to cross-reference how the word may be used in different situations.Reading example sentences is useful in and of itself because it gives you more insight into a words meaning and usage. However, you could also memorize example sentences to give you a handy model to construct similar sentences.7. Follow a playlist for structure.Sometimes, deciding your own learning path can seem like too big a burden to bear. But no need to worry! If you need a little guidance, FluentU can show you a good path.FluentU offers structured playlists. These playlists introduce basic vocabulary and sentences to give you the foundations you need for additional study down the road.

And who doesnt love a good challenge?Quizzes present you with a variety of activities, including fill-in-the-blank sentences, translation exercises and more. With videos and audio interspersed, the quizzes can be both engaging and enjoyable for language learners.9. Use a spaced repetition system.Learning vocabulary can be so time consuming. You study the same words over and over again, but how can you get them to stick?The secret may be spaced repetition. Spaced repetition focuses on presenting words at specific intervals intended to aid retention and increase learning efficiency.Studies show that this method can be hig hly effective. But how does that impact learners? Well, using a spaced repetition system can help you shave some valuable time off learning new words, so you might be able to learn your target language more quickly and with less effort. Who wouldnt want that?And guess what? FluentU uses a spaced repetition system!

Look up new words.Weve already told you that you can easily look up any word you hear in a video or audio clip, but theres more! You can also use FluentUs search feature to look up specific words.With FluentU, you can search for words in English or your target language, making it easy to find the vocab youre looking for.

If that word appears in any videos, you can watch the videos quickly and easily, which allows you to see the word in context.Not only that, but looking up words produces a convenient word/phrase list that can show you other words and phrases that are related to what you searched. If you typed the word incorrectly or just couldnt remember the spelling, this can help you find the word you were looking for. However, you could also use this list as a tool to study additional words that share a similar spelling or meaning.11. Set goals.Sure, setting goals can give you direction and help you stay on track but goals are so much more than that.A study published by Educational Psychologist  suggests that setting and meeting goals can actually make students feel more capable of continuing to improve their skills. Feeling capable could prove an important motivational tool that gives you the confidence you need to progress forward towards f luency.But who will hold you accountable for the goals you set? FluentU can.  FluentU allows you to input your daily goal for how much time you want to study. If you meet your goal, you earn points. If you set and meet bigger goals, you earn even more points. Once you earn a certain number of points, you graduate to the next level.Seeing how high you can get your point total can be a fun way to challenge yourself and ensure you always meet your goals.If you have a competitive streak, you could also challenge your friends to a learning showdown!

4 Steps to Personalize Tutoring for Students

4 Steps to Personalize Tutoring for Students Tutoring offers many advantages over classroom teaching: the instructional style and even the content can be fitted to an individual students needs. How, then, do you personalize tutoring for your child, teen, or adult family member? First, determine whether the student would benefit from tutoring. Next, decide on the tutoring method: private, online or at a tutoring center. Third, source tutors. Finally, choose the best available tutor. Students tutoring needs are varied and complex. Your child is an individual distinct from millions of grade-level “peers” throughout the world. If you have a gifted and talented child, you may want one or more tutors to help your child achieve his or her full potential in a variety of academic and artistic studies, not just in one area. For a special-needs student, you’ll want a tutor with experience in helping in very particular ways and in a variety of subjects. Your teenager may be preparing for standardized tests, hoping for acceptance at prestigious universities. A tutor with specialty in such tests can help raise scores significantly. An adult family member may be trying to finish a master’s degree, taking challenging courses while working full-time, and in need of a tutor to expedite learning. Perhaps your child has difficulty with concepts in science or mathematics. Learning disabilities are now fairly ubiquitous, with 5% to 8% of school-age children identified as having some kind of disability in mathematics alone. Should your child suffer from Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), s/he needs the extra attention and patience that a tutor specializing in this learning disability provides.  ADHD diagnoses in the US have increased by 42% in the past 8 years. For more details on this statistics see  https://www.healthline.com/health/adhd/facts-statistics-infographic. A student with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), even with a mild form of it, will need accommodation and understanding. For example, s/he may feel the need to write with a particular type of pencil or pen, may need to sharpen a pencil often, or may be squeamish about touching other persons papers. Where answering test questions is impaired by a condition, the tutor can gently guide the student to overcome blockages to test-taking â€" even if temporarily. And some special school programs allow for extra time. Those with Dyslexia often need a little more time to read carefully even for math questions. They may be aided with the encouragement to notice when, either visually or mentally, letters or numbers switch. They need encouragement to switch them back mentally before producing an answer. Learning disabilities can often be mitigated, even resolved entirely, by way of the removal of unnatural physical and chemical agents from the students school and home environments and from their diets. Many excellent websites are devoted to removing wifi radiation from the home, clearing dirty electricity (transients) from wiring, maintaining the home environment naturally â€" without commercial chemicals, and removing sugars, gluten, dyes, preservatives, pesticides and genetically modified organisms from food. Nontoxic living is often less expensive â€" allowing more available funds for tutoring. Since 2008, many families have been struggling financially and can barely afford tutoring. These parents can save money by setting up semi-private tutoring with another student with similar needs. Moreover, in the US, the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) requires that low-performing low-income schools must provide free tutoring services to children who qualify. Step 1: Determine whether your family member would benefit from personalized tutoring. Give personalized tutoring a go if one or more of the following is true: • The student is struggling with homework exercises. • The student’s teachers, and/or the student him or herself, express concern about studies. • The student exhibits a drop in assessment results. • The student receives all perfect scores, and/or is bored, and wishes to move ahead more quickly in studies. • There is simply not enough time to complete all homework and study as required. • Instruction in the classroom appears to be inadequate. While not urgent, you may want to consider hiring a tutor for your family member in order to: • Increase confidence in the student’s favorite subject. • Allow the student to pursue interests that are not provided in a school. • Supplement classroom teaching amidst educational budget cuts. • Ensure the optimal assessment results in preparation for standardized tests and university applications. With the public education system often strained to its limits, and college admissions requirements ever rising, most parents opt for tutoring to resolve difficulties or to give a student a competitive edge. Occasionally, students themselves request tutoring in order to feel more confident in class, or to succeed where classroom teaching is inadequate. The short answer to Step 1? Every student can benefit from personalized tutoring. In fact, as a professional tutor and CEO of TutorZ, Dirk Wagner has never seen a student who did not benefit from tutoring. Even overachieving students gain much from personalized tutoring, achieving more than they could ever have imagined in their best areas. Gifted students also feel especially relieved when they overcome their weaknesses. Now that you have decided to give personalized tutoring a go, consider the various methods of tutoring. Step 2: Decide on the most appropriate method of tutoring. Considering your family member’s predilections and preferences, and your budget, time and travel limitations, you will do well in selecting the most appropriate method of tutoring. Private tutoring is the most common type of tutoring and usually the most desirable for younger children and those with learning disabilities. Private tutors often visit at your home; however, you may prefer to meet at school or another public location. Typically, private tutors have years of experience and know their subjects very well. Tutors who are still attending college know the teachers, textbooks and curricula that will enhance the quality of tutoring seasons. More experienced tutors, usually familiar with contemporary curricula, will also often have produced their own unique, engaging materials that sustain attention and help students achieve their highest potential. Semi-private tutoring can work especially well for middle-school students and teens who do not wish to experience yet more school outside of school. Working alongside a friend or two, the students feel a mild but friendly sense of competition, with which the tutor’s assignments are more likely to be fulfilled. Students enjoy their homework more when they can complete it with the help of a friend or a small team. School-based tutoring can be helpful, in that all curriculum materials are readily at hand. And the tutoring is occasionally free of charge! However, the teachers who provide after-school tutoring may not have a great interest in doing so, relative to the interest of professional tutors. And their teaching methods may not vary much from what occurs in the classroom. Online tutoring has become mainstream, with the proliferation of the Internet. The reasons for deciding to go for online tutoring are compelling: • You are unable to find a top-notch tutor near your home. • You’re looking for a true expert in the subject. • You desire tutoring in a less common subject such as thermodynamics or crocheting. • Your schedule makes attending regular sessions difficult. • You wish to save gas money by not having to commute to the meeting place. Online tutoring allows your child to work with a teacher in real time over the Internet. Communication between student and online tutor is often accomplished using headsets. This way the student’s hands are free to type or to write on an electronic or paper pad. There are many applications available for video conferencing, so that student and tutor can interact face to face and share images of the curriculum content. I recommend Skype, which is fully featured and free for one-to-one connections throughout the world. Subjects like reading, math and programming are well suited for online tutoring. Online tutoring for hands-on subjects such as knitting and learning to play a musical instrument may not seem ideal, but is becoming more popular, nonetheless. In general, the older the student, the easier it is to make online tutoring work well. If your child is too distracted or otherwise unable to sit through an online session, opt for private tutoring. With Internet, there are many tempting distractions beyond the tutoring content. We at TutorZ have found that online tutoring works best for kids when parents accompany the sessions â€" even when parents engage in other activities while present. When parents cannot attend, they usually opt to leave young students with tutoring centers. Tutoring centers are companies that employ tutors with various kinds of experience. Some centers use standardized materials and methods. They may offer diagnostic testing to help develop a learning strategy for the student. Placed with a tutor for sessions one or more times per week, the student and tutor will work together after school, in the evening or on a weekend day. Some tutoring centers offer group and semi-private tutoring, which can be less expensive than individual, private tutoring. You’ll need to decide whether the student will achieve his or her objectives in a group (class), 2-person (semi-private), or one-on-one (private) context. Step 3: Sourcing Tutors Word-of-mouth often works well to source a tutor. Asking other parents and students who have used a tutor can be a good way of ensuring that the tutor is not only capable, but impressive at his or her job. When word-of-mouth has not produced the desired tutoring situation, it’s worth having a look at local newspapers or magazines, bulletin boards in libraries, community colleges and even grocery stores. You might also check on community sites such as craigslist. Tutors tend to advertise their services somewhat informally. Eventually, these traditional methods tend to give way to online tutor referrals. Today, the quickest and most effective way of finding a personal tutor is by way of an online search. Many tutors have their own websites, and there are several tutor directories that list home educators by area. When looking for a tutor, think about the keywords that will bring up what you seek: the subject, level and geographic area of the tutor. For example, searching for “math tutor in Houston, TX” will show you a dozens of good sites. Be as specific as you can in entering your Google or (better yet, for privacy) Startpage query. For example, if you’re look for a college calculus tutor, then it’s better to enter more specifically “calculus college tutor in Houston, TX”. The search results will surely help to resolve difficulties with your college math! The Internet has produced wonderful changes. While advertising ads on craigslist or backpage was state-of-the-tech during the Web 1.0 generation, we are fortunate today to have tutoring marketplace companies, such as TutorZ.com. These new types of tutoring services maintain an eBay-like marketplace where you are able to choose from literally tens of thousands of tutors! Treated as independent contractors, these tutor-contractors are rated and reviewed and have passed application tests. Moreover, criminal background checks can be purchased, as desired. Sourcing a tutor is now as easy as ABC. Simply type your search query (e.g. “calculus college tutor in Houston, TX”) into the TutorZ’ search box and screen the in-person tutors nearby. These tutoring marketplace sites protect families from tutors with less than stellar reputations â€" and visa versa. And they bring you’re the highest-quality available tutors. Step 4: Choosing the Right Tutor Choosing the right tutor presupposes choice. The choice offered by local classified tutoring ads or even craigslist listings is often insufficient. That’s where these Internet tutoring marketplaces shine: They offer dozens to thousands of tutors in your local area. TutorZ has an impressive selection of over 40,000 certified and trusted tutors. Whether you prefer a female tutor for your young daughter or an PhD expert for a statistics research paper, a caring special education tutor for a child suffering from ADHD, or simply a tutor who is affordable â€" TutorZ has them all. While choice is good, making the right match is your final step. Research conducted by TutorZ shows that the blend of technology and human intelligence matches students with tutors most easily, efficiently and effectively. Here, too, you may request personalized matching and a tutoring consultation to perfect your choice. In summary, tutoring needs differ between students; but virtually all students benefit from tutoring. Whether private, semi-private or online tutoring is sought, we recommend you shop for tutors on new, online tutoring marketplaces like TutorZ. Here you are empowered through choice and personalized matchmaking to find the very best tutor for your needs.
