​Most of us know that a baby dog is called a PUPPY and a baby cat is a KITTEN. Maybe we even know that a baby bear is a CUB but what do we call a baby owl? Or a baby spider? Or even a baby swan? :) So a baby owl is called an OWLET and a baby spider is a SPIDERLING. Can you tell me the last one, the baby swan? And if you can think of any other baby animals that you know write a comment! :)

writing tip (essays)

Introductions can be trick, no doubt about that! A lot of students get stuck when they want to start an essay. "How do I start?", "But isn't that  silly/ obvious/ boring?" "What do I say?" "What should be my first word?" All  very reasonable questions that students ask... :)  In general, we all know what we are meant to do in our intro but it is the 'HOW' that sometimes eludes us. So as a rule of thumb, especially when it comes to essays, make sure you REPHRASE the task; it's always the best way to start.
Let's say, for instance, your essay task is:
'Online shopping has been growing exponentially and young people in particular seem to prefer this type of shopping. What are the advantages and disadvantages of shopping online? ' ,
your intro could easily be something like this:
Nowadays, more and more people are choosing to shop online rather than browse in an actual shop. Although the older generation still has its suspicions, the younger one will support online purchases in most cases. Whether, however, shopping online has a positive effect on society and its economy has of course become a matter of much controversy.
If you read carefully, you'll see that almost everything has been rephrased and very little has actually been added. Aim to do this and your introduction will be perfect. If you want try and write your own introduction! 
​Good luck! :)

PROFICIENCY ESSAY: SCIENTISTS CLAIM THAT MANY OF OUR HEALTH PROBLEMS ARE ASSOCIATED with THE MODERN WAY OF LIFE. TO WHAT EXTENT DO YOU BELIEVE THAT TO BE TRUE?

26/8/2017

Despite all our technological and medical advances, a great number of people seem to be less healthy in comparison to previous decades. There are a variety of reasons why this is the case two of which are our sedentary lifestyle as well as pollution and other health hazards.

First and foremost, technology has been integrated into our everyday life to such an extent that the average adult spends over 5 hours per day on a computer. For example, more and more people are employed in positions which require them to be glued to a screen for the better part of the day. As a result, there is lack of exercise which often leads to unhealthy eating habits and obesity. To make matters worse, young people seem to be following the same adult path. They lead, that is, sedentary lifestyles, by spending too much time on their computer or phone. As the whole world appears to be shrinking and fitting into a smart phone screen, our brain seems to spend all its energy on processing this abundance of information while our body remains stagnant and inactive. 

Another factor for our health problems are all the substances that we breathe in and consume every day. These have become less tangible as we have grown accustomed to their role but they are omnipresent nevertheless. One only has to consider one's exposure to the noise pollution and exhaust fumes to realize how harmful this is to one's health. Not only does it elevate stress levels but it can also cause high blood pressure, irritation and headaches.  In addition, many chemicals are used in order to cultivate the fruit and vegetables  that we consume on a daily basis, which often prove dangerous to our health.

To conclude, our contemporary way of life is clearly affecting our physical condition. Our nutrition coupled with our sedentary lifestyle in an urban environment can have an adverse effect on our health.

Here's a valuable tip to bear in mind mainly for Listening, Part 2 of Cambridge Exams (First, CAE, CPE)! One of the most common mistakes candidates make are in numbers or dates. Make sure you practise listening to these, make sure you understand them correctly and that you can do so quickly. You can also add examples of confusing numbers to the comments to help your fellow students!
