In the next two weeks, please work on increasing your language skills in terms of debate constructions (red book), topic terminology (i.e. vocab specific to the topic domain, such as homelessness today in class), and adding more specific vocab to your repertoire/replacing simple and frequent words with more precise equivalents. To achieve this end I would recommend:
1. Studying Chapter 5 of the red book.
2. Reading an opinion piece published in an English-language newspaper every other day of the break, jotting down good language used, and revising imprecise language.
3. Finding a "word-a-day" app or website that will suit your language needs (the ones geared towards studying for the SAT and GRE exams are academically-oriented).
Watch the blog over the next two weeks for further resources as well.
