  • TED talks and the ESOL examinations... 234

    “Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.” - Henry David ThoreauDo you remember the yesterday's question on Lexis offical Facebook page Oct. 6, 2012? Well, men go fishing, but they are not tweeting about it. They google for information and opportunities. They are overconfident, and overconfidence seems to be rewarded. Men tend to over-estimate their ability and they also negotiate harder. Good for them!We won't stop looking at men as our role models for leadership. But the trend to adopt the tactics of men is not something I agree with. It 's just a relic from earlier feminist eras. Both men and women must be rewarded for the talents, abilities and qualifications they have.Is there a science of achievement? Did you achieve your goals? Watch this great TED tal

  • Big Ben and the Romanian kid... 231

    Yesterday, I visited a school in Bucharest, Romania. A new school with an old tradition. With a group of enthusiastic teachers from Lexis Schools of Languages, I participated in a lesson on the European Day of Languages with games, flags and cartoons - everything primary school kids love in a language lessson.The lesson was over. The kids were leaving the classroom when I saw a boy coming straight to me with a picture of Big Ben in his hand. Most seriously and unexpectedly for me, in the circumstances, he asked  if I could explain how the clock mechanism powers the famous Big Ben.I didn't hesitate to give him brief explanations, but I realized it was not enough. He seemed to have been fascinated with technology and here I made this selection of videos for him.Help needed!!If anybody has more information for David S., the10 year-old boy with such a desire to learn new things, please post or recommend

  • Admission College Interview (2) - The Secrets of Body Language 227

    Do interviews matter? It depends on the school. In many cases it counts; undoubtedly, the interviewee can prove thoughtfulness, facility with words and commitment. Fewer and fewer former admission officers say that interviews are inefficient. More and more universities go back to the old times when interviews were not mandatory. Consequetly, candidates are now warned they cannot participate in the interview underprepared, without previous research and training.What kind of questions can you expect?There are typical questions and unexpected ones. The interviewer (college student, alumnus* or alumna, admisssion officer) decides. Anyway, it's not the questions you need to be afraid of; only 7 percent of the message is conveyed through words. The interviewer is looking for the real picture of you, trying to learn who you really are. The truth leaks out through the remaining 93 percent non-verbal communication. Make it profitable.Watch this vid

  • Admission college interviews (1)... 223

    Is it a required part of the application process?Not always. Few colleges require an interview; in most cases it is optional. But it gives you a chance to show you are something else than numbers (exam scores, hours of volunteer work etc.) and words (the statement, the recommendations etc).Moreover, it is an informational tool; for the college to find out more about the student and for the student to learn more about the college.Do interviews matter?Yes, because you show you're interested.What's in a handshake ? How important is it to establish eye contact? What about voice inflection?What kind of information and knowledge is the interviewer looking for?

  • The Personal Essay... 245

    Writing a good essay is not an easy task, but if you manage to be convincing, it will well complement your application. It takes time and hard work. Many applicants might be tempted to plagiarize. Big mistake! The essay can be perfect in terms of cohesion and language, but it does not answer the specified topic you are supposed to compose on as mentioned in some applications. It’s worth trying to write your own statement. Making an attempt is challenging and rewarding. To be successful, you need to know the specific requirements of the college you want to go to. Mostly, applications require almost the same type of essay. Nevertheless, some colleges request an autobiographical statement, others provide firm guidelines. You should use your creativity to tailor it to match the programme, to demonstrate how your abilities match the college programme. Avoid writing a generic essay.  The length of the essay differs from 500 words to 1,500,
