Vocabulary: Building. Affixes and roots Adding affixes to existing words (the base or root) to form new words is common in academic English.
Prefixes are added to the front of the base (like dislike), whereas suffixes are added to the end of the base (active activate). Prefixes usually do not change the class of the base word, but suffixes usually do change the class of the word. The most common prefixes used to form new verbs in academic English are: re-, dis-, over-, un-, mis-, out-. Verbs e.g. prefix + verb verb Exercise e.g. Exercise Nouns The most common prefixes used to form new nouns in academic English are: co- and sub-. E.g. prefix + noun noun Exercise e.g. Exercise Adjectives Many adjectives are formed from a base of a different class with a suffix (e.g.

It consists of a single question: Of your siblings, are you the oldest child, second oldest, third oldest… or perhaps the youngest? For more than 100 years, psychologists have debated the relationship between birth order and personality. Birth Order and Personality: How Siblings Influence Who We Are. "The one thing you can bet your paycheck on is the firstborn and second-born in any given family are going to be different," says Dr.
Kevin Leman, a psychologist who has studied birth order since 1967 and author of The Birth Order Book: Why You Are the Way You Are (Revell). But how is it that a gregarious comedian and a reclusive, introspective thinker can be so different yet share the same genes? Psychologists like Leman believe the secret to sibling personality differences lies in birth order -- whether you're a first-, middle-, last-born, or only child -- and how parents treat their child because of it.

See these sample student answers to FCE (Cambridge English First) Writing questions with feedback. Teenagers spend 27 hours a week online: how internet use has ballooned in the last decade. Meanwhile, instant messaging use has leapt from 38pc of mobile phone users in 2013 to 42pc in 2014, driven by services such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.
It’s never been easy being a teenager. But is this now a generation in crisis? Mollycoddled and cosseted or stressed and over-pressured. Energised and engaged or bored and turned off. Young people have so many labels and stereotypes slapped on them it’s a wonder these are not visible on their endless selfies. What is undeniably true is that the evidence suggests that rates of depression, self-harm and anxiety among young people are at unprecedented levels. Youth unemployment is more than 13%, the cost of higher education is rapidly rising, a drought of affordable housing coupled with low pay is keeping many young people sealed under the parental roof and trapped in what one report called “suspended adulthood”. The ubiquity of the internet and social media, with its dark underbelly of hardcore pornography, body shaming and cyberbullying, is encroaching on their wellbeing, while a relentless focus on academic high-achieving is turning up the pressure in the classroom.
10 Benefits of Reading: Why You Should Read Every Day. Teaching kids philosophy makes them smarter in math and English — Quartz. “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross,” goes the aphorism commonly attributed (perhaps mistakenly) to Sinclair Lewis.

With 2016 drawing mercifully to a close, it’s worth looking towards eastern Europe for a sense of what Washington, and those who would unravel liberal (as opposed to illiberal) democracy in America, may have in store.
Without Janitors, Students Are In Charge Of Keeping School Shipshape : NPR Ed. Back in 2011, Newt Gingrich was running for president, and he proposed a radical idea to help schools cut costs: Fire the janitors and pay students to do the cleaning. Needless to say, the idea to turn students into moonlighting janitors had about as much support as Gingrich's presidential campaign. But ask Kim De Costa and she'll say there isn't anything radical about asking students to clean up after themselves. At her school, there are no janitors. Roman Krznaric.
