Academic Word List (AWL) and long weekend!





(Written on Thursday Feb 12th 2015)

Tomorrow morning I'm having my second ultrasound exam, so I'm excited to see my baby again. This is an important one, because I will know whether the baby has any disease or not.

On Saturday my boyfriend is going to a business trip, so I'm going to be in charge of his 2 daughters of 11 and 14 years old during the weekend. Maybe we are doing something in Calgary, but I don't know where or when yet. I have been thinking about going to the zoo, but it depends on the weather. If you will stay in Calgary as me, this link could be useful.

About AWL, I should recognize I haven't heard about it before. After a little searching I found that the Academic Word List is a list of 570 words which appear frequently in English-language academic texts. If you want to study in an English-speaking college or university you will need to know this vocabulary, and even if you don´t, it could be very usefull because this words are very common in newspapers, magazines, and novels, and they are usually heard on television, movies or in conversation.

    Thank you for sharing the link with interesting things to do around Calgary. Some people think calgary is boring, but it's not! You just need to get out there and find cool things around the city!

    You are spot on about the AWL! I will put the list(s) on the FB group page today :)
