I'm teaching English to kids and my boss really wants to kids to enjoy the class because they are still very young and get bored or fustrated easily. My students are 3-6 years old and 9-12 so if anyone knows any good games I play with them that they will enjoy and learn from at the same time, it would make my life so much easier. Thanks

I am going to study psychology at college and hopefully continue to study it at university. I can take 4 A levels at college and have decided to take english language and psychology but am unsure about the other 2. Does anyone who studies psychology or is a psycholigist have any advice on what others are best to take? Any other advice about psychology would be great. Thanks.

1: Be careful to answer the right question! Sometimes you solve for one traveler's time, then need to find the other traveler's time. Ask yourself each time: "what is the question asking for?"
Two jets leave an airport at the same time in opposite directions. The first jet is traveling at three hundred forty one mph and the other at three hundred thirty two mph. How long will it take for the jets to be 1,616 miles apart? Round your answer to the tenths place.

Hint: you are given a total distance. Therefore, jet 1's distance expression plus jet 2's distance expression equals the total distance.

2: Alexis left Miami and drove at a speed of 20 kph. Thomas left 3 hours later and drove at a speed of 30 kph. How long will it take Thomas to catch up to Alexis?


Hint: since they both go the same distance, we can set their distance expressions equal for the equation. Get the distance expressions for each by using the D = RT formula.

8: Morgan and Thomas left Seattle at three in the afternoon, traveling in opposite directions. At six p.m., they were one hundred eighty-nine kilometers apart. If Thomas' rate of speed is two times that of Morgan's, what is Morgan's speed?


Hint: you are given a total distance. Therefore, Morgan's distance expression plus Thomas's distance expression equals the total distance.




17 kph

Hint: express Jocob's time in hours first. Then set the distances expressions equal.
When you have solved for Caleb's time, please round the value to a whole number, then continue.

I'm interested in Environmental Science and Writing. I'm looking into Bates, Colby, and Bowdoin. COA looks kind of neat, but the size is not what I'm looking for in a school, and I want someplace where I can meet more people but at the same time find a tight knit group I fit into. Bates...and the others are reaches for me. I'm a Junior, but hey if I got into one of them then that would be amazing. I plan on a 3.5 gpa end of senior year, working really hard this year and next. I'm not so hot at testing, looking at 600s in the english portion, but probably a 550 on the math section SAT. I'm a smart kid but math isn't my strong point. Good at talking and stuff so definitely will interview! So if any alums or current students or super smart college guru kind of people want to give me some advice about them, and what I need to get in that'd be wonderful. Thanks a bunch=)

We have to plan a field trip for a preschool class. The children are 3-5 years old and enrolled in a headstart class. Previous field trips have been to a local park, the library and a grocery store. The school location is Northern Virginia and the field trip can only be about 2 hours including travel time (a bus is available).
Does anyone have any suggestions for a interesting educational and fun field trip for the children?

the question is the “when once” at the beginning of this paragraph.
When once the Latin tongue had ceased to be a normal vehicle for communication, and was replaced as such by the vernacular language, then it most speedily became a mental gymnastic, the supremely “dead” language….(extracted from: Approaches & Methods – Jack C. Richards). Admittedly what I couldn’t digest and get along with is, placing of “when” and “once” together, while to me “once” in this sentence denotes the same as “when”.if not for emphasis or suchlike then how they can be used this way together so that this combination of these two words, to me seems like you say: as I was wondering how to operate the machine, he instructed me which button I should press, then immediately at once I did the right one. You see in the above example which I made it myself to make my point crystal clear, you will notice that we can’t have “immediately at once”, these two words together,can we?.
thanks for your answers and comment

when I was looking up for a word in the dictionary, as usual I was distracted by a word and assumed not bad to catch a glimpse at the definition, it was ‘oncology ‘ .
the definition says:
(The scientific study of and treatment of tumors in the body).
The more I read this sentence the more I feel that the first preposition “of” is unnecessary and to me this sentence should sound : the scientific study and treatment of the body, as the second “of” refers to both ‘study’ and “treatment” and naturally suggests the omission of first “of”
Source: Oxford Dictionary (advanced learner). 2001.

i will appreciate all answers and comment accordingly.
