English Collocations with Success Learn English with Harry

English Collocations with Success Learn English with Harry Here you will learn useful English collocations with SUCCESS .Also, dont forget to check out English Expressions about Success where you will find idioms and expressions that will help you talk about your achievements and success in English.   This is Harry and welcome back to my podcast Speak Better English with Harry where I try to help you understand and make better use of your English.I’ve got a lot of words that we can use to collocate with SUCCESS. So let me give them to you and explain in a couple of examples how to use them. English Collocations with Success Share, help other students to improve English The first is TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS.Well, of course, we all like to achieve success in whatever we do. We don’t always reach that particular goal, but we like to try to achieve success.And we achieve success because of our own endeavours, because of the effort and work we put it into it.Or we can say we achieve success thanks to the support of our family, thanks to the support of our colleagues, thanks to the support of some benefactor, some supporters who have either given you financial support, or something else.A sports star, who’s starting off in his career as a golfer or a tennis player, will often need the support of a sponsor to get invitations to certain events, and then after some success at a lower level he rises and rises in the ranks of the tennis ranks and eventually wins some very significant competition.And he then can say   that his success or the success that he achieved is due to the support of his many many sponsors. To achieve success. DON'T SAY Don’t say MAKE success or MAKE a success. Say HAVE success or ACHIEVE success. We can DESERVE SUCCESS.So when we deserve success it usually means that we spend many years, or in some cases decades, trying to achieve something.A scientist trying to unravel the intricacies  of some disease, for example cancer research, eventually toasts the success of his breakthrough drug that is going to mean an end to extensive chemotherapy for some people. So everybody around the world will say:He deserves the success because he had spent many years researching, he had spent many days and nights trying to find that little breakthrough that will make the difference for thousands, perhaps millions, of people around the world and into the future.He deserves success.Or he deserves his success.Or the success is well deserved.So you can use in many ways, the meaning is exactly the same. He deserves success, he deserves that success. We can ENJOY SUCCESS.Of course, we can. When we achieve something, when we get to our goal, when we get to whatever we want to do. Whether it’s the end of that marathon or it’s that polar expedition, whatever it is, something even less important than that, we enjoy our success.So we enjoy our success because we know what we have done, what we have sacrificed to get where we are today. So people might often sayEnjoy the success while it lasts.And often success can be short-lived, meaning it doesn’t last for a long time.So we enjoy our success, and somebody might say: “Yes, while it lasts.” Today we are euphoric, and everybody’s congratulating us, in a weeks time people will have forgotten, so we become yesterday’s news.So enjoy success while it lasts, or just simply enjoy success, enjoy what you’ve done, enjoy what you have achieved. And then, finally, a much more formal last expression MEET WITH SUCCESS.His ideas or plans met with success.Meaning everybody else agreed that it was a good idea, good suggestion, and that’s how we should take this forward.So his plans for the redevelopment of the city centre were met with success. So the local council or the major, or the local government, whoever it is that has to give the final approval to the plans, liked what they saw, they liked the future, the pictures, the way the city was going to develop, so his plans were met with success.So this is sometimes about hope and aspiration. Our hopes are that people will like it, and our aspirations are our beliefs that we will one day live to see the fruits of our labour. It’s quite a formal expression meet with success.Everything we do, we hope, meets with success. Whether it’s a business course, it’s a university course, it’s some other plans that we can implement, and we hope that they can meet with success.Okay, so there are the collocations with success:to achieve successto deserve successto enjoy successto meet successClever, effective and efficient, cheap way for you to improve your English language skills.Again, thanks for listening, join me again soon.

An Evening with Some South Florida Food Trucks

An Evening with Some South Florida Food Trucks My prison photo in front of the Big Ragu truck. @TheBigRaguTruck I wasnt initially planning on eating anything at the Big Ragu food truck. Nothing against them, I just eat Italian food like everyday and was feeling decidedly adventurous. As the picture shows, their truck design popped and definitely drew people inincluding my sister. However, she did not go for a chicken parm sandwich, but instead landed on some jalapeño poppers. Nowjalapeño poppers are not Italian, but hey, its a food truck who cares? I was kindly offered a sample from my sister and was pleasantly surprised to taste one. They are exactly what they sound like:  jalapeño peppers with cheese inside, breaded and fried til golden brown. They were a nice warm up and got my taste buds thinking about what they were in the mood for. Main course Mojo Cuban Pork Philly from  Mojo on the Go Me posing in front of the Mojo on the Go truck. Watch out for this kid, he crosses his arms. @MojoOnTheGoMia   So as I was walking around all these really cool-looking trucks, I noticed that one in particular was cooking up food I was somewhat familiar with, yet they had their own distinct spin. The Mojo on the Go truck had a big menu on the front next to the ordering window and staring back at me was the Mojo Cuban Pork Philly. Now, I love Cuban food and I love Philly Cheesesteaks, so I figured the two would be a match made in heavenand they were. Imagine some of the best Cuban-style slow-cooked pork in a sub roll topped with cheese and potato sticks. It was a beautiful amalgamation that was admittedly hard to keep together (Ill admit I had to go get a fork), but no morsel was left behind. It was obvious these guys cook their pork from scratch because I found a quarter-sized piece of shoulder bone. At first it sucked cause I bit into it and I freaked out for a second, but then I was like, hey, these guys are doing it right, so what if they missed a little something during the sifting process . I know Id go back for more. Dessert- Gozen Berry Frozen Yogurt from Gozen Yogurt The side of the Gozen Yogurt truck.  @GozenYogurt These guys are master salesmen. They situated their truck right before the exit to all the trucks so that people couldnt help but stop before leaving for home. After a couple free samples of your standard frozen yogurt fair, I saw a flavor Id never heard of: Gozen Berry. Feeling very curious for a second, I asked what that was and the guy told me it was a combination of a bunch of their berry flavors. I tried a sample and I had my flavor. I figured I gotta have their signature flavor, right? I got a cup full and topped it with (free) gummy bears. The Gozen flavor itself was creamier than a simple berry frozen yogurt and was definitely something I would recommend to someone who is tired of your everyday flavors. The food truck session was very enjoyable even though it rained off and on. These three trucks were lucky enough to attract my pallet, but I know Chad will be gracing you with his feast soon, so keep checking the Uloop pages for more information on the trucks that were there. Most of these food trucks use social media know to let their customers know when and where they will be next, so follow them and get ya food on!

Sleep, a Healthy Lifestyle, and Academic Success

Sleep, a Healthy Lifestyle, and Academic Success Tips From a Private San Diego Tutor: Sleep, a Healthy Lifestyle, and Academic Success Tips From a Private San Diego Tutor: Sleep, a Healthy Lifestyle, and Academic Success Students mainly focus on how to succeed academically in college and how to pay for tuition, something that has been on everybody’s mind for decades, but they often forget to consider how health and happiness can effect education and academic success. Students should consider the value of sleep, nutrition, exercise, and general happiness when it comes to producing excellent grades. The mantra ‘work hard/play hard’ may work for some, but it leaves most students in the dust. College students and high school students preparing for college should consider the importance of a healthy life/study balance and how to access specific issues (READ: Summer Study Tips From an Irvine AP Tutor). 1. Are you getting enough sleep? Experts say that teens and young adults need about 8 hours of sleep each night. Many students get less than 6 hours of sleep on an average night and even less if they are cramming for finals week. When people don’t get enough sleep, they tend to have trouble absorbing information and are generally more irritable, not a good thing when it comes to learning important test material and making social connections for the future. Source: Mayo Clinic 2. Fruits, veggies, and proteins Many college students live off of a steady diet of ice cream, pizza, and tacos. However, according to the food pyramid, this is not the path to health. Students should be eating veggies or fruit at every meal to meet their daily requirements. Additionally, young minds need ample protein to be healthy and active. Source: Everyday Health 3. Exercise Some students get tons of exercise just walking or cycling around campus. Many students walk or cycle up to 5 or more miles a day depending on the size of their campus. Students who use a bicycle as their primary mode of transportation will likely pack on the miles just going about their daily business of getting groceries and meeting up with friends. However, many students don’t get much exercise and suffer the effects of prolonged periods of sitting, which can cause fatigue as well as neck and back pain. Source: CDC 4. Healthy socializing College students may feel isolated if they spend all their time in the library or their dorm room studying and need time to be around other people to enjoy the overall college experience. However, this doesn’t mean that all-night parties are the way to go. Students are encouraged to find a healthy balance between study time and social time. High school students also need a healthy social balance and are encouraged to allocate time with friends on the weekends or create a study group so that they can combine study and friends in an efficient manner (READ: Tips for Sophomores and Juniors: Summer To-Do List). 5. Setting realistic academic goals College prep students and new college students are encouraged to set academic goals that are realistic, ones they can obtain. Some students can handle three AP classes junior year, others can’t. Some college students can take on a double major, others will crack under the excessive study and tight time management. Students are encouraged to leave more time than they originally thought to complete freshman year assignments and schedule in each activity. Everything takes time: grocery shopping, walking to class, working a part-time job and, of course, self-study. In short Although students need to focus heavily on how to get all of their work done and be successful students, it’s also important to think about maintaining a study/life balance. Proper sleep, good nutrition, exercise, and social time all lead to a healthy college career.

10 ways to hire better teachers for your international school

10 ways to hire better teachers for your international school Is your school really attracting the best teachers the world has to offer? If you’ve just been through your latest pile of applications and few resumes genuinely excited you, then probably not. As the world's leading international teacher recruitment agency, we're sharing our top tips on raising better awareness of your vacancies and sparking interest from higher calibre candidates. Select, don’t settle. Even if it’s late in the year, hiring average candidates in a hurry will not benefit you or your students long term. Invest time and resources into choosing the best-suited educators who will value their role and have a positive impact on your school and learning community. Extend your reach. Always using the same talent pools and running out of options? Cast your net further and you’ll catch more. This is now possible, thanks to the internet. Take advantage of the enormous people potential of social media by posting regular updates and job alerts. Be competitive. International schools are booming, offering teachers plenty of choices. Reasonable employment packages and provision for dependents makes a real difference when it comes to attracting better applicants. Research what other institutions in your area are offer staff in terms of salary and benefits - they’ll be chasing the brightest candidates too. Knowledge is power. Provide job hunters with plenty of useful details about the role in the job listing, allowing applicants to better judge for themselves whether the position is a good fit for them. Show off your personality. Job postings should be saying more about vacancies than the bare facts and figures. It’s your chance to show your school’s culture, vision, attitudes and values. Consider why teachers want to work in this role, at your school, over another institution in the region? Upgrade your toolkit. Your students are likely using the latest technology - so should you. If your institution has a website (and it needs to!), use it strengthen your brand by providing an insight into day to day life. Consider advertising jobs on external job posting websites and education forums. Think outside the ad. Recognize well-rounded applicants who can meet the demands of an international posting. Keep an open mind. For example, some candidates may have less experience than you’re looking for, but exactly the right kind of experience, attitude and qualifications you’re looking for. Experience never trumps fit. First impressions count. Make sure communication with applicants is clear and responsive from the start of the process - keep candidates informed and engaged. Hiring managers should be transparent about the recruitment process and future terms of employment. Remember your online presence - website and social media - is your public face. Keep content accurate, informative and up to date, no excuses. Be flexible. This is particularly important when the role is a last minute hire. Great teachers won’t stick around for long, so be understanding of challenges such as time zone differences, technical difficulties and availability. Consider a recruitment provider to do the hard work if your time is limited. Break free from tradition. Traditional methods and schedules of teacher recruitment are tried and tested. But with growing global demand for teachers at international schools, and more specialism required, it’s time to enhance old processes with new methods for faster and more efficient recruitment. By implementing these techniques into your current hiring strategy, your school will surely be taking the right direction towards more effective and successful recruitment.
