I am sure you have been in this situation before: your teacher gives you a continuous
writing piece to complete. You read the question and look at the pictures. You decide on the
picture you want to use in your writing and pick up your pen. You start writing.
Stop! You are missing an important pre-writing step - planning your composition. I know
many students find planning a chore and given a choice, they prefer to start writing
straightaway. However, in this post, I will try to convince you why planning is important and
should be carried out before the actual writing.
1. Planning helps you to break the writing process down into manageable parts.
Writing is a complex process. You need to remember to write grammatically correct
sentences of varying lengths, use appropriate and vivid vocabulary while adhering to the
given topic. You also need to come up with a believable plot and interesting characters.
As you plan, you are going to break down your story into the different parts of the
plot so that each part is more manageable.
This allows you to better process and join each part together to form the entire story.
At the same time, a rough sketch of what your main characters will be like is likely to
emerge too.
Writing the story becomes easier and smoother because you have something you can refer
to.
So next time, take time to plan. It will only take a few minutes but will definitely save you
time in the end. Remember If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.

Word stress in English can seem to be a very complicated issue. Where do we put the accent on
multi-syllable words in English? English people don't often make mistakes, but they never learn
any rules! Obviously therefore there must be some fairly simple basic "rules" that apply .
Correctly place the tonic accent on multi-syllable words in English.
These rules do not cover all the aspects of word stress in English; but they do cover the
large majority of pluri-syllabic words in the language.
The problem:
If the suffix (ending) starts with the letters i or u this will affect the position of stress in a word.
[Exceptions: the endings -ist, -ism, -ize and -ing.]
Sample suffixes: -ion, -ual, -uous, -ial, -ient, -ious, -ior, -ic, -ity, etc.
The stress comes on the syllable before the suffix.
Examples: Atlantic, comic, sufficient, explanation, residual.
There are only a very few exceptions to this rule.
Prefixes
Words beginning with: a- ab- be- con- com- de- dis- e- ex- in- im- per- pre- and re,and to which
rule 3 does not apply.

Rule 3 takes priority over all others, notably when a "rule 3 ending" is followed by a "rule 4
ending",
Examples :
perpetually, deliciously, conditional, conditioner, illusionist.
This list of rules is not complete, but it does explain where to place the main accent in the
majority of words in English.
Generally speaking, these rules are very easy to apply. There are however some word families
where it is necessary to take care. The classic example of this is the family of words based on the
root noun nation. The main stress will be on different syllables depending on the way the word
ends; what is important to remember, however, is that the rules above apply in each case.

Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) started as the Social Learning Theory (SLT) in the 1960s by Albert Bandura. It developed into the SCT in 1986 and posits
that learning occurs in a social context with a dynamic and reciprocal interaction of the person, environment, and behavior.

rain Food: 20 Healthy, Affordable Study Snacks
Many of these snacks are accessible in school or anywhere else, for that matter.
Please keep in mind that portion control is important (too much of a good
thing is possible).
Stock up on these affordable healthy goodies so that the next time youre in a
time-crunch, you dont have to sacrifice health for convenience.
1. Apples
Depending on the apple type (Granny Smith and Red Delicious are the cheapest),
you can purchase them for around a dollar a pound for even the most designer of
apple breeds.
2. Bananas
Bananas are a great bang for your buck, perfect for on-the-go and are full of
vitamins, potassium and fiber with low salt. Coming in at only 100 calories for an
average sized banana? Yes, please!
3. Carrots
Carrots are easy, cheap and packed with nutrition like protein, natural
carbohydrates, fiber, calcium and potassium. Its probably more cost effective to
buy full-sized packages (even of baby carrots), which are usually around $2 for a
16 oz bag. But, they also come in cute on-the-go packages that are around 35
calories each, so theres really no excuse not to much on these nutritious little
veggies. A mini pack on the go is perfect for snacking between classes!
4. Oranges

SUPER SAMYS P3 & P4 COMPOSITION SESSION 10 n 11
Other than the obvious vitamin C benefit, youll get potassium, calcium, healthy
carbohydrates and more vitamins. They are high in sugar, but its not as bad as,
say, a candy bar. You can get an entire bag of oranges for the same price as an
unhealthy bag of chips, so make the smart decision and purchase a bag next
time youre looking for a sweet treat.
5. Peanuts
Peanuts are actually a legume, not a nut. Theyre cheap and chock-full of protein.
Theyre high in the good kinds of fats and can keep you full longer than snacks
made with artificial preservatives. If consumed in 2-ounce portions, peanuts are
around 300 calories but theyre a good alternative if youre craving a salty snack.
6. Oatmeal
High in fiber and protein while being low in calories and fat isnt easy to find.
Thats why oatmeal is basically the gem of quick and easy foods. Not to mention
it tastes good and comes in instant options, making it convenient for on the go
students.
7. Green Veggies
Everyone knows they should eat their greens, but have you ever thought about
taking a baggie of raw broccoli, string beans or pea pods on the go as a snack.
You should they have benefits which include Vitamin C, antioxidants and more.
When looking for veggies, the greener and leafier, the better.
8. String Cheese
Ah, the power of cheese. Easily transportable and, as a combo of sugar and salt,
it can curb your sweet or salty cravings. One stick is only around 80 calories, full
of protein and calcium. A pack is only around $2 so, when youre looking for an
easy, cheap snack, just say cheese!
9. Greek Yogurt
Since Greek yogurt is high in protein but low in sugar, its a snack that will
sustain you and keep you satisfied. You can purchase in different flavors or add
some fruit, honey or granola to jazz up a plain flavor.
10. Coffee
Moderate amounts of the caffeine contained in coffee can help improve brain
function, your reaction time, focus and attention span. However, this is only in
moderation. If overdone, it can have adverse results.
11. Hummus
Protein-rich hummus is good on pretty much anything especially when youre
trying to spice up some veggies. If you go for the generic brand, its only around
$4. Even better, make your own for under $2!
12. Blueberries
These little berries pack punch when it comes to nutritional value. Its no wonder
theyre known as a superfood! In addition to the many nutrients and benefits,
blueberries can even help prevent memory loss, increases motor skill function
and learning capacity. Try them frozen for an extra treat!
13. Whole Wheat Crackers or Pretzels
It's so hard when I have to, and so easy when I want to. ~Annie Gottlier
16
SUPER SAMYS P3 & P4 COMPOSITION SESSION 10 n 11
Pair either with hummus or peanut butter and youre good to go! Whole wheat is
key here because then youre consuming grains you lose in white crackers or
regular-variety pretzels.
14. Almonds
A handful of almonds can sustain you for long periods of time. Theyre made
from healthy fats and are a good source of protein (6 grams of protein in one
ounce) in moderation. One ounce of almonds also contains 14 grams of fat
(even if it is the good kind) but watch out for unwanted weight gain.
15. Roasted Chick Peas
If you find yourself craving some crunch, these are the perfect alternative to
other crunchy snacks, like potato chips. Chick peas are great sources of protein
and fiber. If you roast them in the oven, adding a little salt and chili powder (if
youd like a little spicy kick), they taste delicious, too!
16. Dark Chocolate
As long as you follow the everything in moderation rule, this snack can provide
benefits like antioxidants and helps with natural stimulation. Dark chocolate also
helps with the production of endorphins.
17. Eggs
Easy to make and easy to hard boil and take on the go, eggs are also
inexpensive. They have the benefits of both protein and choline packed in, which
both help improve brain function and memory.
18. Avocado
Technically a fruit, avocados have mono-saturated fats, which improve blood flow
and can lower blood pressure. Theyre also a great source of Vitamin E. Make
sure not to overindulge for they are fatty fruits (even if they are good fats) so a
quarter or half is more than enough for one serving.
19. Peanut Butter
Flash back to elementary school and make yourself some snacks involving
peanut butter. Peanut butter and celery, peanut butter on rice cakes the
options are endless, nutritious and a great purchase.
20. Trail Mix
This is a tricky one because some unhealthy snacks are disguised as trail mix.
Its probably best to make your own or find a healthy version with nuts and dried
fruits. Portion control is also vital to make sure youre not consuming a ton of
trans-fats.
You should find these 36 fundamentally fun tongue twisters to be a great resource. Each one provides
an "elocution work out." Take a few for a test drive. Say each line three or four times. But remember,
do not worry about speed. Focus on speaking clearly, even if you must over-enunciate at first.
