There are some stringent rules about English pronunciation, which should be followed if you want to be correctly understood.It can be challenging to understand the notion of the hidden tonic accent in English, and many words just have to be learnt individually. For example the word ‘read' which can be said in 2 ways, both have different meanings. This word has no accents or indications of how to read the word nor which pronunciation is correct until it is added to a sentence to give context.We see this occurs a lot in English, for example, why are two words that are almost identical (beard and heard) not pronounced following the same ru les?

If you already practice English, you probably already know about the different element s that are involved: • The pronunciation of English sounds. • The pronunciation of English words. • The rhythm of the sentence. • The intonation within a sentence.There different English sounds internationally. Photo Source: UnsplashIt is very likely that even with a grammatically correct sentence, that you have already been misunderstood, especially by a native English person. A significant part of proper pronunciation is practising the language and learning how to pronounce each word.Even native English speakers have to do this because how you read a word does not always equal how you say it. For example, ‘Southwark' which is an area in London is not said how it read. I used to see tourists come onto the bus all the time asking for South-Walk and no one knew what they were talking about. But once you learn that the area is called suth-ark, you can be immediately understood.In this case, you need to learn this word independently and add it to the long list of irregular wo rds in the English language.What Is The English Accent?English is one of the most commonly spoken languages on the planet, many countries speak English as a first language. All of which have their own expression of the language. To complicate matters further not only are there different English sounds internationally and different ways to pronounce words but also within countries you can find different pronunciations.Make friends internationally with people who are open to globalism. Photo Source: UnsplashIn the United Kingdom, the spoken accent between the north and south of the country as very different. For example, when I travel from London up to the north in Scotland, I do struggle to understand the English spoken there. While the English words have a similar meaning worldwide, the rhythm and the intonation do differ significantly in all parts of the English speaking world.So when we speak about English accents, it is better to try to focus on one country zone at a time. For ex ample, asking what is the English accent like in the united kingdom or the USA is a more straightforward question to answer although still too broad to give a sensible answer. The English accent is vast and varied all over the world.

Indeed, it is often said that children learn English more easily, but children are just more flexible in their thinking and have no problem changing their way of thinking and speaking. But adults are only as able to pronounce English correctly and progress in the English language provided they agree to change the way they form their words and express them verbally.Listen To English To Improve Your PronunciationIf it is your aim to learn to speak English quickly, it is best to listen to it as often as possible! This can be in conversations, in movies, on the radio, online or in exchanges. This is how children learn to speak their mother tongue. Using the same technique and given dedication and patience, you can do the same. Listening and imitating is of course very important when you are working to improve your pronunciation skills.Regularly learning by exposure is a great way to make your language learning more ac cessible. Listen to the radio in English, watch films in English listen to music in English, you have access to English in many areas all of which can help to solidify your learning.But be careful, not only to listen do back up everything you are hearing with lessons about what it is that you are learning.Tips For Where To Find Opportunities To Improve Your English Language Skills.YouTube has many wonderful videos which can help you learn all about how to pronounce a word in English.  Audible is an audiobook website which allows you to listen to books. The great thing about this is that you can buy the book in English and follow along with audible.Netflix and Amazon Prime are a few online streaming services which allow you to watch movies, documentaries and TV series with subtitles.

Some common errors seen in English are: Pronouncing the ‘th' - This is one of the hardest sounds to pronounce in English, and it can be pronounced in a few different ways.Confusing the ‘L' and the ‘R' - these sound are often mixed up which gives a different meaning to the words altogether. For example Rice and Lice. Confusing the ‘W' and the ‘V' - This is often noticed when saying the word water or west. Again saying Vater instead of water gives your sentence a different meaning which could give confusion to listeners.The changing intonation with the letter ‘E' - Adding an ‘e' to a word changes the syllables, for example Not and Note although they look the same are not said with the same intonation. Not is said with 1 syllable and Note has 2 syllables. Silent consonants â€" Many words in the English language contain letters which are silent, words like Wednesday which are said Wensday. It is hard to know which words have silent letters as there is no structured rule to define how it works.Learning the words with silent letters is an excellent way to make sure that you are pronouncing words correctly.Frustration When Learning EnglishEnglish can be a very frustrating language with its different rules, lack of structure and disconnection between the pronunciation and writing of the language. This is perfectly expressed in the poem Our strange lingo(source: https://www.7spell.com/our-strange-lingo-a-humorous-look-at-pronunciation/).When the English tongue we speak. Why is break not rhymed with freak? Will you tell me why it's true We say sew but likewise few? And the maker of the verse, Cannot rhyme his horse with worse? Beard is not the same as heard Cord is different from word. Cow is cow but low is low Shoe is never rhymed with foe. Think of hose, dose, and lose And think of goose and yet with choose Think of comb, tomb and bomb, Doll and roll or home and some. Since pay is rhymed with say Why not paid with said I pray? Think of blood, food and good. Mould is not pronounced like could. Wherefore done, but gone and lone â€" Is there any reason known? To sum up all, it seems to me Sound and letters don't agree.The inconsistencies in English comes about because the language has been inspired by Germanic, Norse, French, Italian, Arabic and many more languages. Since we can't change the rules of English spelling and pronunciation, we might as well learn what we can and study hard to overcome them. Enjoy and good luck!

Should I Go To New York University

Should I Go To New York University The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Erica is a New York City tutor and 2009 graduate of New York University. She majored in History and now specializes in amultiple subjects including Literature tutoring, Arithmetic tutoring, ACT prep tutoring, and SAT prep tutoring. See what she had to say about her alma mater: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options.How urban or safe is the campus?Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Erica: Going to NYU was most definitely a different experience than most other colleges in the best way! NYU doesnt really have a campus, but most of the buildings surround Washington Square Park. The only thing you need for transportation is an unlimited MetroCard. NYU does provide free shuttle buses from dorms, but if you want to explore the city you can easily take the subway. The campus is as urban as it gets, and it really is very safe just be smart and use common sense. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Erica: Most of my professors were amazing. There are a few bad apples, but that is the story at every college. Professors were very accessible if you take the time to email them or visit office hours. Teaching assistants lead small discussion groups that are a required part of large lecture classes. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Erica: I lived in a dorm my first three semesters. Freshman dorms are all very close to where classes are, which was very helpful in adjusting to NYC my first year. Upperclassman dorms are more scattered some are close, some are far, but all are in Manhattan at least. Get an unlimited weekly meal plan not all freshman dorms have kitchens, and youll need one if you dont want to be hungry all the time. Freshman dorms are pretty friendly places everyones in the same boat. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Erica: For undergrad, NYUs business, acting, education, art, film/television and social work programs are extremely well-known. For graduate, the law, medical, business, film, education and social work schools are top-tier. NYU is divided into different schools, and people usually refer to their school when talking about their major (for example, Hi, Im Erica, and Im in CAS [college of arts and sciences]). CAS is the more typical undergrad school, which has most of the typical college majors (English, sciences, social studies, etc.). I majored in history (you dont have to specialize in a time period at NYU) and minored in religious studies. I had planned on being a lawyer when I was in high school, so I figured Id major in something law-ish. After I changed my mind about law school, I figured Id get my degree in whatever I wanted I figured the most important thing was getting a Bachelors degree. VT: How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Erica: The best way to meet other NYU-ers is by joining clubs. I met my best friends in the clubs I joined. Every September there is a club fair, and all of the clubs are very welcoming. You can also meet people in classes you take. It all depends on what you enjoy and what your social circle tends to look like. Its NYC, so you can definitely meet all types of people. There is Greek life, but they are not a huge presence at NYU. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Erica: I did find the Career Center helpful in certain ways. They offer lots of seminars on how to prepare for an interview, how to write a resume, etc. I didnt really use the Career Center (back then when it was called Wasserman, I think the name has stayed the same) in terms of recruitment, but my friends who were in the business school were there all the time and found their jobs through recruiters from campus. All kinds of businesses would recruit huge Fortune 500s as well as tiny boutique-y places. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Erica: I absolutely lived in the library (Bobst) during my time at NYU. I loved it I would find a random study carousel on a random floor and just sit and read/write for hours. That was also how I functioned I could never really get work done at my house. The student center (Kimmel) was also a wonderful, wonderful building. There is also a Starbucks right on 4th street. The Starbucks tended to be super crowded in the evenings, especially during finals. Also, the library was packed during finals as well. There are definitely places to study, both in NYU buildings and in coffee shops in the neighborhood. Some days I would feel like there was nowhere to just sit down and read, but most days I could find a spot. I believe NYU has been making more of an effort to increase study spaces on campus. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Erica: NYUs surroundings are everything that makes up New York City. It is absolutely amazing, wonderful, overwhelming, enormous, and fantastic, all at the same time. The first month or so of freshman year, people tend to hang out at bars around the Village, but as time moves on people move more uptown and downtown. There can be a lot of pressure going to school in the city, but honestly some of the best times Ive had are hanging out in someones dorm, watching movies and talking. You can get whatever you want here. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Erica: NYU is very huge its one of the largest private schools in the country. If youre walking around the Village, youre mingling with NYU students. Some classes are large lectures, others are small seminars. The freshman writing class everyone has to take is no more than 15 people, while some of the other required classes are big lecture classes. Usually big lecture classes have smaller discussion sections led by a TA these I did really enjoy. Speaking as a History major, my seminar classes were always small. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Erica: My last semester at NYU, I was finished with my major and just needed the credit hours to graduate. I loved it I took a photography class, a class on Shakespeare, a French conversation class and a linguistics class. I just loved taking photography I did everything from load the film into a 1970s black and white film camera, develop the film myself using all of the chemicals, enlarging the negatives in a darkroom. My ideal house for myself most definitely has a darkroom in the basement. Check out Ericas tutoring profile.

Best Universities For Economics In The UK

Best Universities For Economics In The UK Get The Most Out of Your Economics Degree ChaptersEconomics At Cambridge Or OxfordLook At An Economics League Table For InspirationMake The Long-Term Investment In An Economics DegreeSo you’ve decided that you’d like to study an undergraduate economics degree at university. The next question to answer is where exactly you would like to go?Universities across the U.K. and overseas offer economics courses, but there are a lot of factors to consider when choosing what university to apply to.For example, do you want to study economics as a single subject, or would you prefer to study a combined degree that mixes economics with finance, politics, or international relations?Some universities only offer economics as a single degree, so that may have an impact on which universities you decide to apply to.Other considerations should be:How respected the university’s economics department is;The quality of the education that you’ll be provided;What modules the course will cover â€" some universities specialise in different area s of economics; andThe location of the university and your  willingness to travel there.There are many marked differences in economics courses between the best universities in the U.K., so taking the time to research any potential university thoroughly will help you make the right decision when the time comes to decide which institutions to apply to.It also helps to visit the university on any open days that may be available. If possible, it’s also a great idea to try and talk to a former graduate in economics about their experience of the course, and what aspects they liked and disliked. This should help you make an informed decision about which university should best suit your studying style and personality.Below is an overview of some of the best universities to study economics in the U.K. Such overviews should give you a good idea of what to expect from studying from these institutions, although don’t be afraid to carry out your own research as well. You can never be too inf ormed when it comes to picking a university!Macroeconomics;Quantitative Methods in Economics;Political and Social Aspects of Economics; andBritish Economic History”There is a continued emphasis on microeconomics and macroeconomics in subsequent years, with a number of optional modules also available throughout the degree.Cambridge University is one of the best universities to study economics. (Source: CC0 1.0, revbritton, Pixabay)Oxford, on the other hand, offers a number of combined economics courses, including:Economics and management;History and economics; andPhilosophy, Politics and Economics, known as PPE.Microeconomics and macroeconomics remain core aspects of the economics syllabus at Oxford University, with other optional modules.Finally, it’s worth noting that both the University of Oxford and Cambridge have a collegiate system. This means that the universities are made up of a number of different colleges, differing in size, age, and the number of tutors that specialis e in degree subjects.Students usually live within college accommodation and will have supervisions (similar to tutorials) at the college, although degree lectures are often held at university buildings so that students from all colleges can attend.If you want to study economics at one of these two universities, it’s worth researching which college will best suit you, and if possible you should try to visit those colleges during an open day.Look At An Economics League Table For InspirationUniversity or subject league tables can be a great tool when researching the best universities where you can study economics, as they can give an indication of the quality of an economics degree at a particular university.Although you shouldn’t base your decision on which universities to apply to on league tables alone, there are some universities that consistently score highly in such tables, and are generally regarded as excellent universities to attend. Some of these universities’ economics courses are discussed below.Warwick - EconomicsEconomics is offered as either a single or combined degree, so it really depends on what you’d like to focus on. As can be expected in all economics degrees, there is a focus on microeconomics, macroeconomics, as well as econometrics, although there are also modules on topics such as economic history.UCL - EconomicsUCL requires applicants to have an A* in mathematics to get on to their economics undergraduate course, highlighting the importance of numerical literacy in many economics courses.As a result, there is an emphasis on mathematics and statistics in the first year, although you’ll still be expected to use your numerical skills in years two and three of the course.The UCL economics course heavily emphasises mathematics. (Source: CC BY-SA 2.0, Steve Cadman, Flickr)Durham - EconomicsAs with many universities, economics can be studied on its own at Durham, or in combination with other subjects, such as:Management;French;Politic s; andPhilosophy and PoliticsThe course content is reviewed each year and covers both domestic and international aspects of economics, as well as fundamental economic concepts and theories. There is also the opportunity to take modules from other departments, so there’s a lot of variety on offer when it comes to what modules to study.Like Oxford and Cambridge, Durham University is a collegiate university, so it’s worth spending some time researching the various colleges to see which one could suit you.Make sure to do your own research to discover the best universities for economics. (Source: CC0 1.0, mteresa, Pixabay)It's worth remembering that, regardless of what university league tables say, every individual is different, and will likely prefer one economics course or university over another. This is why it's worth taking the time to visit each university that you're interested in during their open day and speak to current economics students for their take on how much they enj oy their economics syllabus, as well as life at that university more generally.Having first-hand reports of how university life is at different institutions can best equip you when the time comes to make a decision about where to apply to study.Of course, there are other things you should keep in mind when researching universities, as outlined below.Make The Long-Term Investment In An Economics DegreeThere are so many excellent universities in the U.K., and there are some that haven’t been covered in this article.The important thing when choosing a university is to ensure that you understand and research a number of things, examples being:What the degree syllabus entails;How long the degree lasts (a Bachelor’s degree usually lasts three or four years);How much contact time with tutors or professors you’ll have each week; andHow your degree is assessed â€" is your grade based on examinations at the end of your final year, or are you assessed throughout your degree?If you can fi nd a university that offers an economics degree course that appeals to you, perhaps due to economics lessons that focus on the post-war economy, or its emphasis on international economics, then you’ll know you’ll be motivated and engaged by the degree’s content, thereby increasing your chances of finishing university with a great grade.Although the best universities in the U.K. can be very competitive to get into, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try and secure your spot. If you have or could reach, the grades required to get into a university, then it’s worth a shot.Equally, if you find yourself needing some extra help to secure the A-level results that you need for a place at university, you can always reach out to a tutor for some help with exam tips and tricks or study techniques. Superprof has a range of economics tutors that can provide assistance, either online, in groups, or in person, at a price that won’t break the bank.Simply enter in your postcode and you'll be matched with suitable tutors in your local area, as well as tutors that are able to conduct sessions online.Affordable tutoring means that you can afford to invest in your education when it counts the most. Having tutoring before you begin university as well means that you can prepare yourself for the modules that you'll be studying during your first year.Not only should this help you feel more prepared for your time at university, but it may also help you relax, as having confidence in your academic abilities should mean you can kick back and enjoy the first few weeks of university without any added stress!Find more on alternative economics.Discover the jobs associated with economics here.

Engineer Alert ASCO Numatics Industrial Automation Engineering Scholarships

Engineer Alert ASCO Numatics Industrial Automation Engineering Scholarships Photo by McLaren Photographic LLC via Flickr Other than majoring in engineering, students are also considered for the scholarship based on their potential for leadership and for making a significant contribution to the industrial automation engineering profession particularly as it relates to the application of fluid control and fluid power technologies, as stated on the ASCO Numatics Engineering Scholarship website. In addition to the $5,000 scholarship award, ASCO Numatics will also provide $1,000 grants to the engineering departments in which the recipients are enrolled. As another added bonus, this years recipients will attend, like Whitten, the PACK EXPO International, this time in the Windy City: Chicago. Megan Borz, another 2013 recipient of the scholarship from Buena, NJ, said in the 2014  press release that the scholarship paved the way for opportunities she may not have otherwise had due to finances. I have been able to focus more time on my coursework, athletics, applying to graduate schools, and applying for future career opportunities because I did not have the financial stress I had in previous semesters, Borz said. The ASCO Numatics scholarship program has, according to Robert W. Kemple, Jr., executive vice president, sales and marketing at ASCO Numatics, in the 2014 press release, awarded $60,000 in scholarships to 12 students and another $12,000 in grants to 10 U.S schools engineering departments. Engineers apply creativity and skills to transform innovation into reality, Kemple said. The ASCO Numatics scholarship program applies that same spirit by helping support leading students in their education to become the next generation leaders in industry and technology.” Whitten agreed that the ASCO representatives were, all really nice, friendly and welcoming, and placed a lot of emphasis on getting to know and wanting to support the next generation of students. He recalled the experience of the scholarship and the PACK EXPO as extremely educating and noted that it piqued his interest of the industrial automation technology field, which he hadnt been entirely  immersed in before receiving the scholarship. The deadline for applications is March 31, 2014, and Whitten encourages anyone who believes they may meet the criteria, even if they arent sure if industrial automation is for them, to apply. because, as I said, I didnt really expect that I would win. I think its a good opportunity to not only win some money, which is great, but to also learn about a pretty cool industry, Whitten said. Touching upon industries, I mentioned to Whitten at the end of our conversation that he was, indeed, on the right path to making money, whereas I, as a writer, may have a less certain monetary future. He merely chuckled and reminded me that as long as, were doing something we both love, its good. The truth within this statement cannot be touched on enough, and for all the engineering students out there, the ASCO Numatics Scholarship may just be the stepping stone you need on your journey toward pursuing what you love.
