Grammar terminology matters because it allows us to communicate efficiently about language. Of course, it is not necessary to know the terminology to speak a language. We all learn our first languages without first learning what a verb and noun are. However, when we speak about grammar, especially in the context of writing, it helps if we can refer to grammar using precise vocabulary.

There are many sources online and in books that will explain grammar terminology. Not all of them will use exactly the same terms for the same grammatical points (I know, frustrating!). However, if you get into the habit of learning to identify the names of grammatical objects, you will move forward in your understanding of written English.

Sites and books that you can use to look up the names of grammatical terms

Barriers to speed reading
--------------------------

Subvocalizing. Repeating what you read in your head (reading with your ears).

If you hear yourself reading, read faster.

Vocalizing. If your lips move as you read you are vocalizing your text. As long as you read vocalizing, you will only be able to read as fast as you can speak.

Let the texts pass into the mind directly from the eye, skipping the mouth and ear.

Personal Statements and Statements of Purpose

Personal statements (sometimes called statements of purpose) are essays required from students applying to undergraduate, graduate, or professional school. These statements are different from a job cover letter. In such statements, you are presenting yourself as a potential student. Usually universities or colleges ask you to address specific questions, but sometimes they give only general guidelines.

There are many approaches to doing these statements. It is especially important, however, to be original, sincere, honest, and to show your interest in the school to which you are applying. It is important that your essay represent who you are – resist the urge to copy models that you find on the Internet.

Here are several sites that will help you through the process of writing the statement of purpose, or college entrance essays:
