When is the best time to use present tense in a report? I'll have to provide an example, because I can't think of an adequate way to describe what I'm trying to ask without one. "After the participant had completed the task, he immediately fell asleep. The researchers are/were quick to conclude that it was the task that caused the participants exhaustion. What the researchers fail/failed to address was that the participant had run a marathon earlier that day." This passage is very vague, and for that I'm sorry, but I hope my question is apparent. In a report such as this, is it better to use the present tense to convey the researchers' own statements, or is past tense better? Because the researchers did do the concluding in the past, but I've been told that using present tense is preferable (as it is when writing a report about characters' actions in a fiction story). I hope my question isn't too convoluted... Thank you!

Describing a process means writing about how something is made or how something happens. Examples: the rainwater cycle, how coffee is grown, how glass is made, getting a driving license, starting a business.

While it is true haiku was the predominant form of Japanese culture, and certainly most recognized by non-Japanese, waka inspired it. It was an art form, first begun in the 8th century CE, which continued in popularity through the modern era.

The commencement ceremony affirms each student's search for knowledge. It often includes a graduation speech which seeks to put their recent hard (or not so hard)  work into the context of their future. Many of us hear one or two commencement addresses as graduates or listen to a handful as spectators. Yet -- as we graduate from one year to another, one relationship to another, one experience to another -- we always are learning. Though these myriad departures and arrivals of everyday existence are seldom met with ceremony, words traditionally reserved for momentous occasions may ring true and inspirational at any hour. That's why we created this unique archive of commencement addresses, selecting an eclectic menu of twenty nine extraordinary speeches from the thousands that we have reviewed since beginning work on this initiative in 1989. Though some of these wonderful remarks were given decades ago, we believe they are as relevant and important, perhaps increasingly so, as the more current speeches. Thus we encourage you to read them all, recognizing and celebrating your own constant commencement into tomorrow, finding ways to place it firmly within the context of progress for all humankind.

Make life easier by building up a library of ready-made lessons for yourself or your teaching staff to copy and cut as required.   Though relatively easy, it can prove a godsend during the busy season when time is short, or when standing in for absent colleagues.

Sometimes I try to make use of new vocab and tell them to move as if they have just won a million dollars or are all drunk, hungover, are all police officers, wealthy ladies out shopping, and -my all time favourite- as if they can smell something terrible. Breaks the monotony and gives me a bit of a laugh. - Vanessa Pasini

"By the time you start to write the first draft of your dissertation, you will probably already have accumulated a wealth of notes, scribbles and ideas. Planning is essential, but do not be hesitate to draw up new plans whether it is a brief abstract of your dissertation as a whole, or a detailed breakdown of a particular chapter. This section looks at effective planning, which should be a continuous process that intensifies during the writing of your dissertation and not something that fades into the background."
