Today we are boosting our vocabulary and learning 100 academic verbs this will be particularly
0
4040
8450
00:12
useful for college and university students. Rather than reading out a list, I’m going
1
12490
6510
00:19
to try to INCORPORATE all of these verbs into my sentences, and then when I say an academic
2
19000
9090
00:28
verb I will REVEAL it up here along with the definition. This lesson is brought to you
3
28090
4000
00:32
in collaboration with Chapter. Chapter PROVIDE a unique living experience for students from
4
32090
7610
00:39
across the globe. This is far beyond the the types of student accommodation I encountered
5
39700
6020
00:45
during my time at uni, which I can only CHARACTERISE as dark, musty, dwellings which were not fit
6
45720
9090
00:54
for human habitation. If I had the choice then I would definitely CHOOSE Chapter. And
7
54810
6910
01:01
if you are planning to STUDY at a university in London then I SUGGEST you CONSIDER staying
8
61720
7110
01:08
in one of the ten accommodations that Chapter have to offer. These are LOCATED in some of
9
68830
6560
01:15
the best places across London, including: ALDGATE, HIGHBURY, WHITE CITY, ISLINGTON,
10
75390
9640
01:25
KINGS CROSS, PORTOBELLO, SOUTH BANK, SPITALFIELDS and LEWISHAM, which is where we are right
11
85030
8360
01:33
now. And if Chapter will PERMIT us to VIEW then I can show you how those who SELECT this
12
93390
20570
01:53
fabulous accommodation will BENEFIT.
13
113960
4050
01:58
Just to CLARIFY this is Chapter’s Lewisham accommodation. There are plenty of reasons
14
118010
6140
02:04
for you to BASE yourself here. Lewisham is a diverse creative and energetic area in south
15
124150
7059
02:11
east London with excellent transport links, and that just HIGHLIGHTS one of the benefits
16
131209
6560
02:17
of living within zones 1 & 2. I had a 60 minute commute from my dingy digs in zone 6 to uni
17
137769
9870
02:27
which negatively AFFECTED my overall experience because that time spent on the underground
18
147639
7100
02:34
could have been ALLOCATED to focussed study or vital socialising. But staying in these
19
154739
8941
02:43
lovely Lewisham digs will ENSURE you don’t have to EXPERIENCE the dreaded commute I had
20
163680
8289
02:51
to endure. It’s only 8 mins on the train into London Bridge for easy access to all
21
171969
6660
02:58
uni’s, 8 mins on a bus to Goldsmiths University, and 17 mins via the DLR to the University
22
178629
9090
03:07
of Greenwich.
23
187719
6600
03:14
This facility is truly awesome. Imagine if you could DESIGN a building that will SUPPLY
24
194319
12971
03:27
not only a comfortable place to live but SUPPORT your studies and IMPROVE your lifestyle….…
25
207290
8140
03:35
Well Chapter has done exactly that. Allow me to OUTLINE what they have to offer.
26
215430
15569
03:50
Here you can OBTAIN a shared apartment or private studio, and whichever you choose I
27
230999
13901
04:04
PREDICT you will be very happy. There’s a big comfy bed, and I PROPOSE that you use
28
244900
8160
04:13
it to get plenty of sleep to help PROMOTE a healthy lifestyle balance. Let me DEMONSTRATE!
29
253060
6399
04:19
And
30
259459
17981
04:37
that ladies and gentlemen REFLECTS how tired I was at uni, I worked so hard!
31
277440
7440
04:44
ACHIEVE top marks by EMPLOYING this study area to produce your best work, and PERFORM
32
284880
7470
04:52
to the best of your ability. You can ESTABLISH yourself as the on-site
33
292350
5850
04:58
Jamie Oliver and INCREASE your popularity by using these wonderful kitchen facilities,
34
298200
5680
05:03
though if you’re anything like me you will have a knack for DESTROYING even the most
35
303880
5930
05:09
basic of meals. Of course we also have a much needed shower
36
309810
5590
05:15
to ELIMINATE any odours and a loo, just remember to REPLACE the toilet roll. It’s so nice
37
315400
11850
05:27
in here, it really does ALTER my perception of student living. In fact I may just REMAIN
38
327250
6450
05:33
here for good.
39
333700
16220
05:49
Prices start at Chapter Lewisham from £224 per week which in my opinion is super cheap,
40
349920
9010
05:58
and however you plan to FINANCE your student lifestyle you can rest assured that Chapter
41
358930
6840
06:05
will EXCEED expectation as far as quality accommodation goes. If I COMPARE the overpriced
42
365770
6520
06:12
flat I stayed in during my uni days, it doesn’t even come close in terms of quality. Places
43
372290
6370
06:18
are available for this September so if you are looking for an incredible place to live
44
378660
6460
06:25
then you need look no further then Lewisham, let me EXPLAIN.
45
385120
5380
06:36
Chapter AIM to create a full student experience, providing a range of additional facilitates
46
396940
5800
06:42
and benefits to AID and ASSIST study, social and daily living.
47
402840
7700
06:50
There’s a resident laundry so you can REMOVE those tough ketchup stains and SUSTAIN that
48
410550
6600
06:57
‘Freshly Washed’ smell. MEASURE your level of skill by PARTICIPATING
49
417150
17030
07:14
in a game of billiards or shuffleboard in the games room. ATTEMPT to AQUIRE and MAINTAIN
50
434180
11209
07:25
a healthy fitness level in the private resident gym. I don’t know about you but I cannot
51
445389
6881
07:32
FUNCTION properly without regular exercise, and I also GAIN weight very quickly. And if
52
452270
8340
07:40
you are partial to a kebab or two then you may end up DEPENDING on the gym, just don’t
53
460610
7000
07:47
DAMAGE yourself by overdoing it. Their 200MB dual-band WiFi will FACILITATE your need for
54
467610
21880
08:09
a strong internet connection, to watch youtube of course, a platform which can SOLVE any
55
489490
7480
08:16
problem. If you struggle to CONCENTRATE in your own
56
496970
3000
08:19
quarters and you have a difficult essay to WRITE or an assignment to TACKLE then you
57
499970
6820
08:26
can access a communal but private study space, and that might help you to FOCUS. However
58
506790
6910
08:33
if you FAVOUR working in groups and want to CONNECT with your fellow students then, if
59
513700
7340
08:41
I can DIRECT your attention over here, simply head over to the group study space.
60
521040
13450
08:54
It’s important to NOTE that students can AVOID missing their favourite tv shows by
61
534490
12849
09:07
making use of the cosy TV room, complete with Sky TV.
62
547339
7481
09:14
If you POSSESS a bicycle and plan to ride to University, then you will SEEK a safe place
63
554820
5769
09:20
to store it, well look no further. Finally Chapter REINFORCE a sense of security
64
560589
8641
09:29
with a 24hr team on site and students will REQUIRE a pass to get in and out.
65
569230
10799
09:40
Having EMPHASISED the features of this accommodation, I should tell you that each Chapter property
66
580029
12461
09:52
across London is unique and their benefits VARY, so there’s something for everyone.
67
592490
7440
09:59
For example, you may be OVERCOME with awe at Chapter Spitalfields 32nd floor bar or
68
599930
6589
10:06
33rd floor library which offer stunning panoramic views across London, and their loft studios
69
606519
6521
10:13
overlooking the city. A sky lounge overlooking the London Eye CONTRIBUTES
70
613040
5310
10:18
to the charm of Chapter South Bank. If you would rather be in west London then CLAIM
71
618350
5979
10:24
a spot at Chapter Portobello, in a lovely spot next to the canal. Or COMPETE to get
72
624329
7151
10:31
your hands on a place in their newest property in White City, offering rooms from just £199
73
631480
6659
10:38
per week. And features DIFFER further with sites in the North and East, including a private
74
638139
7760
10:45
cinema at Highbury.
75
645899
13290
10:59
Chapter is not just a place to live, but it’s a whole lifestyle which will help you to ADAPT
76
659189
5911
11:05
to London living and ADOPT a whole community of friends through some of the many Chapter
77
665100
5549
11:10
organised events. Once you IDENTIFY which is the best Chapter
78
670649
4781
11:15
for you and book a room you become a member of Chapter, which means you can use all the
79
675430
6580
11:22
amenities and attend the events at all ten Chapters across London.
80
682010
6369
11:28
To CONCLUDE, let me SUMMARISE. Student accommodation has EVOLVED! Chapter is offering what I can
81
688379
10940
11:39
only DESCRIBE as high end student living. And if I have EXPRESSED myself accurately
82
699319
9740
11:49
and you are in need of student accommodation in London then why not ACCEPT my invitation
83
709059

to click on the link in the description below and ASSIGN some time to finding out more about
84
717610
6990

85
724600
6429
12:11
a call, or using their live chat function on their website will YIELD some answers.
86
731029
12271
12:23
Was that 100 verbs?….no 8 short. Ah for fear of you LABELLING me a bad teacher, which
87
743300
14800
12:38
would CAUSE me great distress, let me complete the list. My determination comes not only
88
758100
8120
12:46
from my need to fulfil a promise but DERIVES from a desire to help and educate. I want
89
766220
7940
12:54
to GENERATE useful content which COINCIDES with my hope to INDUCE a sense of fun. Ah
90
774160
9421
13:03
two left….I should DIVIDE them into two sentences. No I REJECT that idea!
