Rares Lot
How do you learn a lot of words quickly (SATs)?
I have to learn a lot of words really quickly for the SATs!! How do you suppose I do this? It’s in a few months from now. Just reading definitions isn’t sufficient for me. And I can’t really have someone quiz me on them either because it is rare when anyone in my family has time for that sort of thing. Any suggestions? Thank you!!
First of all, figure out how many words you can learn a day (for most people it’s somewhere between 10 and 20) and just focus on that many words. If you learn 15 words a day, that’s 450 words a month! If you think about it in those terms it’s a little less overwhelming.
As you’ve already figured out, memorizing definitions is a horrible way to learn words. Instead focus on context. Try to use the word in a sentence about something meaningful. If you’re learning the word cantankerous (which means grumpy), as yourself, “Do I have any friends who are cantankerous. Are there situations in which I get cantankerous (maybe trying to learn vocab words)? Can I think of a particular time I (or someone else) was cantankerous? If you associate the word with particular situations are people, the word is more meaningful to you.
Learn word roots. Breaking a word down into its roots is another good way to learn the word, and you can use what you’ve learned to break down unfamiliar words on the test. Learn words together that have similar roots or meanings.
If you’re artistic, draw a picture. If you’re an auditory person, speak the word in a sentence out loud. If you’re a kinesthetic learner (who learns by moving), act the word out. Figure out what clicks with you, and take advantage of that.
If you don’t already have a list you’re working off of, I’d recommend the McGraw Hill SAT 2009 book. The vocab section consists of 49 lists of words with similar meaning and several roots that are related to the words on the list. It’s long, so you might not get through all of it by the time you take the test, but it’s still a great resource.
By the way, freerice is also a good resource (as others mentioned). The downside is you can’t pick words you want to study, and there’s no way to make the program bring back words that you missed so that you can keep reviewing them. I would use freerice to supplement your regular vocab work, not as a substitute for it.
Good luck!

The Recipe for Lots of Energy
Fatigue is one of the problems of our busy modern lifestyles and many people complain of having low energy levels. This means that although they can get through the day they rarely have energy left over to be able to exercise vigorously and lead an active lifestyle.
But the fact is your energy levels are a good indicator of your current fitness level.
But how can you have a good fitness level if you don’t have enough energy to be able to exercise? Well, the whole cycle need to be reversed and slowly strength and fitness recovered and increased over a period of time.
It is important to have lots of energy to fit everything we want into our life. When we have this natural energy we find we feel happier, more energetic and more enthusiastic about everything in life. We also become more motivated to want to be active on a regular basis. If we are often tired and feeling sluggish this can lead to apathy and the blues which is not helpful to getting the most out of life.
Energy is not something that is tangible. You cannot get it or find it and is not something that you can see or touch, but you will surely know if you don’t have enough of it. But to get more of it you first have to create the conditions under which it is possible to show up in your life.
If your health, strength, fitness, attitude are all aligned in the right way, there is nothing else for you to do but to feel energized. It is the natural “side-effect” of a fit, healthy life – it just comes with the territory.
If it is not happening for you some changes are necessary. By adding a proper exercise program into your life and starting slowly but consistently you can get back to where you should be quite quickly. It is important that you do not waste your precious little energy on ineffective exercise that will not give you much in return.
Long, slow, boring, low intensity type activity like walking, jogging or cycling etc will only further eat into your energy stores but not give you any ‘bang for your buck’.
You need a proper program with strength building exercise that will recover lost strength and speed up your metabolism (your body’s engine).
You need to start at the appropriate level, be guided by a fitness professional and the program monitored and tweaked where necessary. If you don’t get the right help it is likely that you will cause yourself further burn out which will put you off the very thing that can help you get your life back.
Your program should also contain one or two sessions of interval training each week. This means short bursts of activity alternated with longer rest periods. An example of this would be 10 seconds of all out sprinting then 30 seconds to one minute of walking so you can recover. Repeat 8 -10 times or more depending on current fitness level.
This type of exercise program will energize you throughout the day by building back your strength. Your better conditioned muscles will make every task in your day so much easier and save some of the energy drain. Exercise will also increase oxygen flow to the brain making you feel good, more mentally alert and you will have an overall happier disposition.
To support this exercise program it is important to try and eat better. Shoot for 5-6 small meals spread throughout the day. Each meal should have a protein source as its base; add lots of raw or cooked vegetables and a small amount of complex carbohydrates (rice, pasta, grains etc). If you are a busy person, you will need to organize your meals the night before and then take them with you wherever you go the next day.
Although this all sounds easy, it will not just happen overnight. Like all of us it is a journey and we can only aim for improvement not perfection. Each week the goal should be just to do a little better than the week before. These good choices will not only give you your energy back but rejuvenate your whole life.
