3 Keys strategies: your kayak

You can fall back on these fundamentals when you panic.

They help you feel sturdy and safe.

A student who doesn’t have any strategies is in a terrible situation on test day.

Snacks and water: high level vocabulary

Water is essential for any outdoor activity.

It can help you avoid serious medical issues such as sun stroke or dehydration.

Snacks, especially for small children, also keep them interested!

The Writing scoring rubric for a 7 or higher requires less common vocabulary.

This shows the Examiner that you have mastered a wide range of words in English.

  • Idioms
  • Slang
  • Formal vocabulary

It also makes your essay more interesting, and will keep the Examiner more engaged.
