_______

“The assignment is due when? Tomorrow?”

Somehow, that assignment due date just slipped right up on us without our noticing. That is why organizational skills are so important to college performance. Who can afford to score a big fat “0” on a paper just because we got lazy and didn’t pay attention to the due date? Then, how about putting it down?

_______

If you have a Yahoo! account or another email system, you can use the free calendar feature to organize your homework. You will be able to enter each assignment as you receive it, make notes, and receive reminders as each due date approaches.

_______

Postponing a task is like telling ourselves a little white lie. We think we’ll feel better if we do something fun, like watch a TV show, instead of studying or reading. But when we give in to the urge we always feel worse in the long run, not better.

_______

If you’re like many students, you sometimes have trouble getting started on a project, because the end result seems so far away and impossible to reach. Sometimes when you start out with an idea and a blank sheet of paper and look into the future, all you see is lots and lots of unfinished research, reading, planning, and work. Next time try starting at the end and moving step by step to the beginning!

Task 2

Britain’s Dream Jobs That You Could Actually Do

Have you ever given a thought to who provides the gravelly-toned voice on movie trailers – or who creates the sound effects on computer games or talks on radio and TV ads? Voice-over artists are paid to bring a script to life with their voice. Some voice-over artists come from a drama background, but qualifications aren’t necessary. Try approaching agencies who can help you put together a professional demo and offer coaching and courses. Once you’ve got your reel, the next step is to approach TV production companies and radio stations for ad work.

Do your friends always turn to you for help on matters of the heart? Become a professional agony aunt and you can share your wisdom with the world. The best known agony aunts write columns for newspapers and magazines and answer reader questions online. As a professional agony aunt, most publications would expect you to be “qualified” to give advice - which might mean having a degree in psychology, being a trained psychotherapist, or having a background as a counselor. Having writing experience may help you to find paid work in the future.

Being paid to eat chocolate for living rates pretty highly on the ’dream jobs list’ for many. Nearly every company in the food industry employs tasters who check product quality and work on developing new products - testing everything from fish pie to fudge. If you’re lucky enough to land a role as a food technologist at a company (a degree in food science and technology is generally required), you could find yourself working within the new product development team devising recipes, inputting on the design of the final decoration, and of course, tasting the new chocolate creations.

You might not be lucky enough to own a Ferrari - but what about a job test driving them? Test drivers work with the company’s engineers to test the entire vehicle from front bumper to rear bumper, making sure everything works exactly as it should. Although not a prerequisite, a background in mechanics or mechanical engineering is likely to give you an advantage. You’ll also need exceptional driving abilities - speeding round a race track at more than 200mph requires training and skill, not least nerve. As you might imagine, competition is fierce.

You may never be a star, but it’s easier than you might think to become a film extra. Extras are required to appear on TV dramas, commercials and music videos, as well as blockbuster movies - who knows, you could find yourself stood next to Johnny Depp one day. You don’t need supermodel looks - people of all ages and sizes are required - and acting experience isn’t necessary, though you will need a professional attitude and be able to take direction.

What is TRUE of voice-over artists according to paragraph 1?

Task 3

Cinda Wood

I really love working with flowers and also have loved learning Photoshop CS2 and InDesign. My first book was created just for florists, with a CD for their web sites’ images. Most people do not realize that 95% of all images online for florists belong to wire services and so the book filled a niche. I now have been creating floral cookbooks for people who are not florists with simple instructions to help the beginner.

Besides riding, I play tennis and just started taking boxing lessons; it’s a killer workout.

Task 5

This Little Piggy Stayed At Home

It was New Year’s Eve and, after a hectic Christmas, my boyfriend Paul and I were planning a quiet evening in. So, while Paul was in town, I sat down with a glass of wine, my sandwich and a pork pie, (23)______ the peace.

A few minutes later, I heard Paul arrive home and come clattering into the kitchen.

“Surprise!” he called. As I looked (24)_______ at what he was holding in his arms, my mouth flew wide open. A little pig, with a bow around its neck, sniffed the air excitedly.

What’s that? I cried, about to bite into my pork pie.

Paul gave me an odd look. “It’s a...” he began.

“I know it’s a pig,” I sighed. “But what’s it doing here?”

“She’s our new pet,” he proudly (25)_______ . I put my pork pie down guiltily. “The farmers down the road didn’t want her, and were going to send her to the slaughter-house, so I (26)_______ her,” he explained.

“But it’s a pig!” I exclaimed.

We’d just moved into our house, were in the middle of (27)_______ , and we already had a cat. There was no way we could have a pig running around the place. For the next couple of days, I didn’t speak to Paul - I was too angry (28)________ him. He put the pig in the conservatory, and I wouldn’t be hesitated about my plan to find a farm to adopt her.

When Paul went out a couple of days later, I was left holding the pig. I fed her some food and, as hard as I tried, I couldn’t help smiling when she nuzzled into my arms, lifting her leg up to be tickled. I (29)________ her little belly, and she let out a snort. I wondered if she was (30)________ bored in the conservatory, so I took her into the sitting room.

When Paul came home, he found me and the pig under a blanket on the sofa. “I’ve named her Harriet,” I said. “But it’s just until we find another home,” I added quickly.

But, as time went on, I made little (31)________ to find Harriet a new home. “I can’t get rid of her,” I told Paul one day.

“You mean it?” smiled Paul.

“She can stay,” I added.

Harriet does take (32)________ a lot of time - I even have to rub moisturiser and suncream in to protect her skin. But she’s part of the family now. This pig’s for life, nor just for Christmas!

A few minutes later, I heard Paul arrive home and come clattering into the kitchen.

“Surprise!” he called. As I looked (24)_______ at what he was holding in his arms, my mouth flew wide open. A little pig, with a bow around its neck, sniffed the air excitedly.

What’s that? I cried, about to bite into my pork pie.

Paul gave me an odd look. “It’s a...” he began.

“I know it’s a pig,” I sighed. “But what’s it doing here?”

“She’s our new pet,” he proudly (25)_______ . I put my pork pie down guiltily. “The farmers down the road didn’t want her, and were going to send her to the slaughter-house, so I (26)_______ her,” he explained.

“But it’s a pig!” I exclaimed.

We’d just moved into our house, were in the middle of (27)_______ , and we already had a cat. There was no way we could have a pig running around the place. For the next couple of days, I didn’t speak to Paul - I was too angry (28)________ him. He put the pig in the conservatory, and I wouldn’t be hesitated about my plan to find a farm to adopt her.

When Paul went out a couple of days later, I was left holding the pig. I fed her some food and, as hard as I tried, I couldn’t help smiling when she nuzzled into my arms, lifting her leg up to be tickled. I (29)________ her little belly, and she let out a snort. I wondered if she was (30)________ bored in the conservatory, so I took her into the sitting room.

When Paul came home, he found me and the pig under a blanket on the sofa. “I’ve named her Harriet,” I said. “But it’s just until we find another home,” I added quickly.

But, as time went on, I made little (31)________ to find Harriet a new home. “I can’t get rid of her,” I told Paul one day.

“You mean it?” smiled Paul.

“She can stay,” I added.

Harriet does take (32)________ a lot of time - I even have to rub moisturiser and suncream in to protect her skin. But she’s part of the family now. This pig’s for life, nor just for Christmas!

Task 6

Why did Ancient Egyptians Build Pyramids?

Egyptologists assume they represent primeval hills, the hills that on the day of creation rose out of the flood. This idea certainly comes from the natural state of Egypt in former times, the land (33)_______ by the Nile, and when the flood retreated, islands appeared which were considered to be symbols of the day of creation. (34)_______ a pyramid could represent such a hill.

But one could ask: why was it not just a rounded hill, why did it have edges (35)________ to a top? Another idea is that kings used pyramids to climb up to their heaven.

But these are all speculations. A final theory is that in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis (the centre of the sun cult in Egypt) there was a monument called a benben stone.

It could be that this sacred stone (36)________ the shape of a pyramid, and that the people who built the pyramids were trying (37)________ that, because the top piece of a pyramid is called a benben.
