Is English not your first language? Then maybe you’re intimidated by writing in English. Maybe you feel that writing in English at a native level is a bar you can never reach… WRONG! Whether it’s writing a gripping application to college, or to prepare for the IELTS writing section, mastery of English writing IS within your grasp. Better, even! If you follow these tips, you’ll write at a higher level than most native speakers, many of whom never fully learn how to use their birth-given language! Tip #1: Avoid writing polysyllabic if you’re not actually familiar with them There’s an error in the grammar of that tip!

If I could travel back in time to visit my young high school self (who would be studying, studying, studying, often all night long, to do well in her AP classes), I would tell her that college preparation requires more than studying. As important as understanding derivatives in calculus or the logic behind the periodic table of elements is, there is more to preparing for an American college than studying. In fact, at most top American schools, there are more applicants with very high SAT scores (say, above 1450) than there are spaces available for them. This is something my own parents didn’t understand—they thought, “If you are the best, best, best student, why should anything else matter to a good university?” The problem is that there are already many best, best, best students out there. So, how can you differentiate yourself from all the other dedicated applicants? Although test scores and grades are important—they are one way that colleges can determine if you are a serious studen...

Immigrating into an English speaking country has always been a tricky challenge, especially for people for whom English is not their native language. However, for many people, successfully immigrating would allow them to create a new life. For educated, young people who are fluent in English or French, Canada remains one of the easiest countries to immigrate into through a program is known as Express Entry. Canada chooses immigrants based on their skills and ability to contribute to Canada's economy. The government uses a point system to determine who they allow to immigrate under the Federal Skilled Worker Program. The program works by assigning a score, out of 1,200, to your application. Applicants with higher scores are more likely to get an invitation to become a permanent resident in Canada. So, what goes into getting a high score? Under the Comprehensive Ranking System, points are earned through language skills, education level, age, and work experience. The ranking system is...

McGill University is a respected school with a notable reputation for research and academic excellence not only within Canada but also worldwide. The best college admissions consultants agree that getting into McGill is very competitive. As a Canadian high school student, I had already decided McGill University, located in the French-speaking province of Quebec , was my top choice. Why McGill? The English-language college is ranked 31st in the world and consistently within the top 3 universities in Canada. Besides its exceptional ranking, McGill is in one of the most cosmopolitan and exciting cities in the world, Montreal . Studying at McGill was a no-brainer. But how to get in? I promptly sought out admissions consulting to get the rundown on how to get into McGill. The university counseling gave me both some good and not-so-good news. The good news is that colleges like McGill in Quebec don’t require SATs to get in, at least if you’re Canadian or an international student. Ho...

Coming from an international high school, I was surrounded by high performing students eager to get into top US and UK universities. During our lunch breaks, there would be a different admissions consultant who would give talks about universities and its application processes. These admissions experts would provide student consultation, clarifying any questions or concerns we have about getting into our dream college.  My High School Background During the entirety of my high school life, I was the kind of student that finished their homework and projects days in advance. I did not see the point of procrastination; for me, it was just delaying stress. Academically, my grades were strong. I was a consistent high honors student and I was taking the most difficult classes offered by my high school. I took the IB Diploma, which I was predicted to get a 43. I also took AP US History, the only AP class my high school had at the time. I also had a strong SAT score, which I accomplished by...

Many students of English struggle to differentiate between four words: this, these, that, and those. These words are known as demonstratives, which is tricky to define because in and of themselves, the words have no meaning. Instead, they are used to refer to a previous person, object, concept, or set of things that has already been described. countries. In real life, this can occur when physically pointing to or gesturing with an object. For example, if you were at a library, you could hand the librarian a book and say, “Could you please check this out for me?” In that situation, you are using the word “this” in place of the word “book.” Based on what is occurring at the time, the librarian knows that “this” is referencing the book. In writing, it’s trickier. When you’re using a demonstrative word without showcasing what you mean by your actions, ie, a demonstration, then you need to be very clear about the subject of the sentence. Let’s look at the top of this blog. The first paragra...

Being Canadian High School Student Studying at a Canadian high school is a great way for international students to learn about the Canadian education system and increase their chances of attending a Canadian university. During my high school experience, we had an international exchange student from Germany, but the program accepts students from across the globe. The International Exchange Program through my former school board offers international students ESL classes in addition to other subjects such as science, the arts, and English. Since a strong foundation in English is important for admission into Canadian universities and colleges, international students can benefit from these ESL classes as well as being immersed in an English-speaking environment. In Ontario, Canada, high school students are required to earn 18 compulsory credits, which includes subjects like math, English, French, science, the arts, geography, history, physical education, and civics and careers. These 18 cre...

Canadian Health Care System Many people are familiar with the concept of “universal health care” and often associate the term with the Canadian system. While the term may seem self-explanatory, Canada’s health care system is complex. “Universal health care” refers to the fact that Canadian citizens and individuals with immigration status can use their provincial health card to visit the hospital, walk-in clinics, and their family physicians for no cost. The benefits of this system are clear when we consider how economic disparities affect access to health care services in other countries. However, some people hear the term “universal health care” and make two incorrect assumptions. The first assumption is that our health care is free for all Canadians. While it may feel costless to go to the emergency room, Canadians pay taxes to maintain this system. Another assumption made often under the pretense of “universal health care” is that all healthcare services are free . Unfortunately, th...
