When I started my degree, it was the first time I'd lived away from home and it was quite a big thing for me as I am registered blind. Fortunately, new students got a lot of support from the university. Firstly, there was a mentoring scheme so I had a couple of older students who took me under their wing - showed me around the campus, introduced me to different people and generally put me at ease. One of my mentors became a good friend and she gave me a lot of moral support when I was feeling down. She would tell me she'd had similar feelings, and always found the words to reassure me. Apart from this, I also received a grant to pay for some of my additional needs like help with writing up my essays and buying books.

Scientists say that people should do one hour of physical activity every day. It can be sports, exercise or everyday activities, such as walking. In the USA, only 25% of teenagers do enough physical activity, and that’s a problem. In addition, teens need three types of training to keep fit: weight, aerobic and flexibility training. They also need to train well for specific sports. Good coaches understand athletes' needs and help them to train properly.

Practical Everyday English, Collins S., 2009.

   Practical Everyday English is not just a book, but a method which helps upper intermediate and advanced students to understand and then use everyday vocabulary. Most of the material in the book is good conversational English rather than academic. However; I should like to point out that "good conversational English" does not mean street slang. There is included within the book a small amount of slang which now passes as "acceptable" English but even members of the British Royal Family would use most of the phrases and idioms contained in these pages.

Collocations are two or more words that we often use together. For example, on these pages you learned the word appointment. In English, we make or arrange an appointment and sometimes we miss an appointment (we forget to go or we're late); we have / have got an appointment with the dentist. Sometimes you can’t arrange to do something because you have a previous appointment (one you made before).

It's very moving - just very, very sad
It's great, absolutely amazing.
