Ah, that's dangerous since you can affect your students in both different ways (ha, I'm joking)
oh, and, about the capital letters, you guys are both wrong. my main laptop has a broken left-hand shift key
Brilliant reason (though I am not sure if it’s true--hehe--am kidding again). This also implies that you can “stand up” in a short time. Cool!
you know how your hearing and proprioception improve when you close your eyes? in the same way, you might find that you write more varied or higher-quality sentences if you don't use caps.
Haha, another good reason. I’ll try it when I’ve done with my gmat and toefl. If I develop that habit now, my essays will be deducted one point.
in any case, we've now completely abandoned any semblance of discussing the GMAT exam in this thread, so, time for me to stop.
Hum, that’s not fair, Guru. You produced a lots of “offspring” that induce my thoughts, then you say: hey, we have to stop here. It’s not different from saying: you can ingest, but “outgest” (hi, I just invented this word for sensitive situations)
But I don’t totally deviate. I learn an RC question here: (just bring stuff from general verbal to general math-sorry)
- What is the author’s purpose when he used the example below?
“when i take questions from students after live classes, i'm usually sitting down (having just been standing for 3 hours). some students stand—even though there are chairs in the vicinity—while others pull up one of the chairs.
i've noticed that the students who pull up the chairs tend to speak to me more as an equal, rather than as "sensei" / "authority figure" (the latter of which i just find awkward). so, there's definitely something to what you're saying.”
A. He implies that “authority figure” attitude is not good for students since stepping out of comfort zones is a way to be better learners. (Sound good. Trap. Dump.)
B. One of the reasons that the student used to persuade Ron to “stand up” in written conversations is not valid. (Tempting. Doubt.)
C. He comforts the student that he/she is ok when he/she is standing while Ron is sitting. (What? Dull. Dump.)
D. He implies that sitting-standing manners are acceptable in some situations such as in classroom. (Ah, that guy looks good)
E. He encourages the student to pull up the chair if he/she participates in Ron’s class. (Hu? Dumb. Dismiss)
--> OA: D
Ok. I agree to stop now.
