Using Would or Could in English Video and Exercise

Using Would or Could in English Video and Exercise Do you know when to use Would or Could in English? This is possibly the grammar point/video we have worked the hardest on. Explaining the difference between these two words is hard, even for native English speakers! They have similar meanings, and can be used in similar situations, but they are not always interchangeable. We worked hard, and produced a great video and exercise to help you know when to use Would or Could.Try these exercises, then watch the video to see the answers:1. (Would/Could/both are possible) you pass the salt.2. If I won the lottery, I (would/could/both are possible) travel the world.3. If I were him, I (would/could/both are possible)call her.You may have noticed that in one of these examples both words can be used, but they have slightly different meanings. Watch the video to learn more about the different meanings, then try the exercises below.Ok, now try the exercises below. If you write your answers in comments, we will reply.1. If I were you, I (would/coul d/both are possible) wake up early tomorrow.2. If I had a million dollars I (would/could/both are possible) really want to travel the world. (Careful on this one!)3. Grandma, (would/could/both are possible) you please pass the salt.4. If I had studied more in school, I (would/could/both are possible) definitely be better at math.5. If he had trained harder, he (would/could/both are possible) have been in Olympics. hangpham 1.would 2.both are possible 3. could 4.could 5.would LOIEnglish Number 2 is incorrect. The correct answer is WOULD. The reason that both are not possible is the regular verb following the modal verb, WANT. Here is a good way to tell: Does, I CAN WANT more coffee. sound correct? No because generally we dont use CAN or COULD with WANT. Want is a desire so it is always possible to desire something.Number 4 and 5 are also incorrect. Number 4 has the word DEFINITELY in the sentence. When we use definitely then we dont use COULD because they contradict each other.Nu mber 5, both choices are possible. If you use WOULD then you are more certain of the imaginary outcome. If you use COULD then you are talking about a possible imaginary outcome. I hope this helps! hangpham thanks u so much

An Overview of the SAT Critical Reading Section

An Overview of the SAT Critical Reading Section ACT SAT Prep and College Admissions Blog The verbal section of the SAT exam includes a section on critical reading. Reading “critically” means reading without simply accepting the text as fact. When you read a text critically, you are trying to evaluate the validity of the claims presented, recognizing that the author necessarily has experiences, biases, or prejudices that influence his or her views on the subject. If the piece presented is an argument, the author's biases may influence the choice of material presented or excluded, and the relative importance accorded to each claim in the construction of the overall argument. Ultimately, you have to try as far as possible to separate the author's biases from the objective merits of the claim. In narrative passages (stories), you may also be asked to infer the author's attitude to a person or event from the author's choice of words in describing that person or event. As an extreme example, it is safe to assume that someone discussing abortion who refers to it as “the murder of an unborn child” is not of the same view as an author who frames the subject in terms of “a woman's right to choose.” While the former clearly considers abortion morally reprehensible, the latter instead views it as a personal choice with no implicit moral judgment. The critical reading passages on the SAT will not deal with subjects as controversial as religious or political opinions. They will rather be drawn from literary fiction, humanities, social sciences, or natural sciences. In some cases a passage will be paired with another that has a related theme, and there may be questions that require you to compare the two. The passages will range in length from approximately 100 to 850 words. There is no fixed number of passages, though there will be a total of 48 questions on passage-based reading. In addition, the test will contain 19 sentence-completion questions. These questions consist of a sentence containing one or more blanks, which you will complete by choosing the word or combinations of words that best fits the meaning of the sentence. The alternative that best fits the sentence is the one that makes the the sentence logical, grammatically correct, and internally consistent. The test consists of two sections of 25 minutes each and one of 20 minutes. In these 70 minutes, you will have to answer a total of 67 questions, almost one a minute. As in any standardized test, time management is of the essence. While you do not have time to dawdle, do not rush through the reading. If you do, you'll waste time re-reading the passage searching for the answers, so you're better off reading at the fastest pace that allows you to understand the passage thoroughly. This optimal reading speed is, of course, entirely dependent on you, so the only way to figure it out is to do lots of practice tests. When you are doing practice tests, be sure to time yourself. Figure out what the best time management strategy is for you, and stick to it on the day of the test. Cell phones are not permitted in the testing room, so be sure to have a watch or other permitted timing device on the day of the test. While the SAT is not precisely intended to be a vocabulary test, it does attempt to test your ability to understand vocabulary “in context,” meaning that you should be able to figure out the meaning of the words based on how they are used. Obviously, the larger your functional vocabulary, the less thinking you will have to do to figure out the meanings of words from their context. The best thing you can do to improve your vocabulary, reading speed, and comprehension is read a lot. Unfortunately, not all reading materials are created equal. You're best off reading classic literary fiction, which is most likely to use unfamiliar vocabulary and style correctly. The important thing is that you enjoy your reading â€" as long as you do, you will want to read more and will absorb more of what you read.

7 Steps to Get You Ready for the Big Move

7 Steps to Get You Ready for the Big Move You’re about to move and are a little overwhelmed? We’re in the same boat. I’m about to move abroad and should really be an expert by now. After all, I’ve moved ten times over the past seven years. These are the steps I’m taking to get ready:1.  Make a To-Do ListMaking a To-Do list is fairly easy, but the trick is keeping it to one list, rather than many, and actually working it off. As I’m falling asleep or walking home from work I think of a thousand things I need to get done before leaving. On a good day I actually jot it all down, only to end up with ten crumpled post-it notes that then end up in the dryer. Not so great. So my tip: Have one list and keep it close by!2.  Plan aheadIf I’m leaving on Saturday morning, I should be packed by Friday night. I’m busy all week, so I’ll get the laundry done on… ahm… I could really use a house elf right now. Take a good look at your To-Do list and plan ahead. It can save you a lot of last-minute stress if you do it rig ht.3.  Stick with your plan!A plan is only worthwhile if you stick with it. But the reality is that seeing your friends one last time is more important than arriving with ironed clothes and batteries for your life-saving electronic translator. So when I say “stick with your plan!” I actually mean, “Good luck! I hope it works out for you, but in the last seven years this part hasn’t worked out for me so well.”4.  Freak outHow did sticking with the plan work out for you? It obviously didn’t for me. It’s Thursday night, the laundry isn’t done, the To-Do list is long enough to cover the entire staircase, and time is running out. It’s time to freak out a little. You’re moving halfway around the world; it’s ok to be a little overwhelmed. If you’re too calm and collected, your friends may think you’re more of a robot than a person.5.  Toss it all inStill not packed? Here’s your chance! I ended up tossing it all in, sitting on the lid, and forgot to keep the weig ht limit in mind. If you can’t lift it, it’s probably too heavy. If you previously made a packing list, now would be a good time to take a look around the room and squeeze everything in that you previously missed. (I still haven’t managed to cross the ‘Make a Packing List’ entry off my To-Do List)6.  Pretend it was the plan all alongThis is the point where you can show off your theatrical skills â€" convince your friends and family that you enjoy the thrill of doing it all at the last minute. In the end, it always works out. As long as you have your passport and visa, don’t sweat too much about all the things you could or may have forgotten.7. EnjoyEnjoy the trip and be grateful for all experiences, even the ones you struggle with at the time. I can’t say it better than Eleanor Roosevelt: “The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”Here’s to your adventur e, to the experience of a lifetime! I’m off to Mexico, what about you?Dorothee Rembold is an intern at Teach Away Inc.

Kumon Student Competes on the Food Networks 6th Season of Kids Baking Championship

Kumon Student Competes on the Food Networks 6th Season of Kids Baking Championship Kumon Student Competes on the Food Networks 6th Season of Kids Baking Championship “No matter what the recipe, any baker can do wonders in the kitchen with some good ingredients and an upbeat attitude!” -Buddy Valastro, Owner of Carlo’s Bakery For 13-year-old Davis, baking became more than just whipping up the occasional cake for his family, or a batch of cookies for the school bake sale. He was first introduced to baking by his beloved grandmother, when he would sit on the counter as a toddler watching her bake and assist with mixing. As Davis got older, he was able to not only replicate classic favorites, but also to whip up new creations with the use of unique ingredients. “My signature recipe is shortbread,” said Davis. “My grandma is the master of baking shortbread, and she was the one who taught me how to bake it. It’s my favorite because it’s buttery, flakey, and not too sweet. It smells and reminds me of Christmas.” Baking has become an art-form and a way of life for him, so much so that he was selected to star on the sixth season of Food Network’s Kids Baking Championship.                                       Kids Baking Championship seeks the most talented kids in the kitchen, ages 10-13. They are then given a chance to compete for the title of Kids Baking Champion. Putting their skills to the test, contestants are tasked with unique baking challenges like baking with a savory ingredient such as bacon, or even macarons decorated with faces. Judges Duff Goldman and Valerie Bertinelli have been impressed by Davis’ concoctions that are not only visually appealing but are packed with flavor. His stand-out pieces in the competition have been delicate macarons with a key lime and raspberry filling as well as a gourmet lavender macaron. As Davis likes to say, “anything is better with chocolate,” which showed on his brownie challenge. For the judges, he created a double layer walnut and chocolate chip brownie with a smooth walnut cream cheese frosting. He then topped his creation off with a decadent chocolate ganache, which complimented the brownie cake beautifully as it was shaped into a monarch butterfly. We can’t wait to see what other scrumptious desserts Davis creates as he continues in the competition. For new episodes of Food Network’s Kids Baking Championship, tune-in on Mondays at 9pm ET/PT. Everyone at Kumon North America wishes Davis the best of luck in the competition!

Crowded job market reveals new career opportunities for Canadian teachers

Crowded job market reveals new career opportunities for Canadian teachers Getting accepted into a teacher training program in the first place used to be the hardest part for aspiring teachers in Canada. Nowadays, though, the hardest part is actually finding a job after you graduate. The upside is that, following several years of some truly grim job prospects for Canadian educators, teacher unemployment rates across the country have somewhat improved over the past year or so. However, too many teacher graduates and an ongoing shortage of open teaching positions are still making for some pretty daunting job prospects for teachers in Canada. Competition for jobs is particularly tight in provinces like Ontario, Alberta and Quebec. Especially Ontario. When will teaching jobs open up in Ontario? Good question! There is a bright spot on the horizon. The Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) project that up to a third of its teacher membership could retire in the next five years. This new wave of retirees should help to create some much-needed vacancies in the future. And while this is, of course, very welcome news, what are freshly-minted teachers college grads in Ontario supposed to do for a job this year? Or next year? Or even the year after that? Overall, the Ontario teaching job outlook for recent teacher grads is still pretty cloudy, at best. The idea of a teaching job opening up five years down the road is cold comfort. And years of supply teaching (if you can get steady work in the first place) is far from an ideal solution to the lack of job security in your home province. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. Teaching jobs in Canada for certified teachers Of course, some select provinces are experiencing the exact opposite. BC teachers, for example, can take their pick of teaching jobs. In an attempt to attract teachers from provinces in Canada with a surplus of educators, the Vancouver school district is even offering a $1,500 moving allowance - a move that’s garnering some interest from beleaguered teaching grads Ontario. Adventurous job-seeking Canadian teacher grads, however, may want to set their sights on far more favorable job markets overseas. Teaching jobs overseas for Canadian teachers Want to build an impressive teaching resume, grow your classroom skills, work with a network of other Canadian teachers, enjoy a great standard of living, save lots and travel? Sign me, up, I hear you say! A huge number of Canadian curriculum schools abroad, like Maple Leaf Schools in Canada, are currently looking for applications from a large number of Canadian teacher graduates. If making the move to BC doesn’t appeal to you as much as venturing further afield, but you’re still looking for a teaching job that transfers well to a teaching job in your home province in the future, then teaching with Maple Leaf might be just the break you’ve been looking for. Best of all, while many international schools abroad require a year or two of classroom experience to qualify, Maple Leaf Schools will waive this requirement for all Canadian teacher graduates. To qualify to teach with Maple Leaf schools, you’ll need a: BC teaching certificate Chinese working visa If you’re a Canadian teacher, however, there’s no need to sweat these requirements: Maple Leaf provides comprehensive support to all successful Canadian candidates in obtaining their visa and BC license, including covering all fees incurred over the course of the application process! Sold? Maple Leaf Schools vacancies for the 2018/2019 school year include: Science teachers Math teachers English teachers Social science teachers Business teachers Physical education teachers Computer/IT teachers
