Mastering the Art of Email: A Guide to Clear and Compelling Communication Crafting the perfect email is like writing a letter to the world—your message can be a simple knock on the door or an eloquent invitation to step inside. Whether you’re just entering the workforce or you’re a seasoned leader, the skill of writing impactful emails is one of the most essential tools you’ll use in your professional life. Emails hold power—the power to motivate, clarify, and connect, or, when done poorly, the power to confuse, frustrate, or even be ignored. But worry not! With a few key strategies, you can turn your emails into clear, actionable, and engaging communication. So, how do you ensure that your emails don’t just blend into the noise but instead leave an impression? Let’s walk through the steps of mastering this essential skill. The Building Blocks of a Brilliant Email Every email you send, whether to a colleague or a new contact, follows a basic structure. However, it’s in how you execute each part that will set you apart from the rest. From the subject line to the final sign-off, each component plays a role. 1. The Subject Line: Your First (and Only) Chance to Be Seen Imagine yourself standing at a busy intersection, waving to someone across the street—if your wave is too subtle or generic, you might never be noticed. The subject line of your email works the same way. A vague or poorly worded subject may land your email in the spam folder, or worse, be ignored altogether. Your subject line should offer clarity and intrigue. It’s not just a title; it’s a promise of value to the reader. Think of it like the opening line of a great novel—draw them in, but give them a reason to stay. Pro tip: Spend as much time on your subject line as you do on the body. It’s that important. 2. The Opener: First Impressions Matter In the digital world, politeness hasn’t […]View Article »

How to learn English quickly: 9 tips for Atsushi Atsushi, thank you for your help. I hope you find the following study tips useful. Written by Erin in language learning · 4 min read Atsushi, English is a fun language to learn, and even though it’s considered an accessible and relatively easy one to learn, with over 750,000 words and spelling that can throw off even the most skilled learner, learning English fast can seem impossible at times. But I’m here to tell you that it isn’t – as long as you have the right strategy. Here are my top tips on how to learn English quickly: 1. Read everything you can get your hands on Atsushi Classic literature, paperbacks, newspapers, websites, emails, your social media feed, cereal boxes: if it’s in English, read it. Why? Well, this content will be full of juicy new vocabulary, as well as a fair amount of word you already know. This helps you improve quickly, as re-exposure to learned vocabulary gives you new examples in context, therefore reinforcing those words in your mind. On the other hand, learning new words and expressions is essential to building your vocabulary arsenal, particularly in a language like English with so many words! However, don’t just read and move on – next, you’ve got to… 2. Actively take note of new vocabulary This tip is a classic one for good reason: it works! When learning, we often enjoy a new word of phrase so much that forgetting it seems impossible. But trust us, not everything sticks the first time. To fight this, get into the habit of carrying around a funky notebook or using a tool like Evernote. Whenever you hear or read a new word or expression, write it down in context: that is, in a sentence and with its meaning noted. This saves you time as you won’t return to that word and ask yourself: “What did that word/expression mean again?” 3. Talk with real live humans What is a language for if […]View Article »

Jennifer Widom – Technical Paper Writing Tips Here are the notes from a presentation I gave at the Stanford InfoLab Friday lunch, on technical paper writing tips with a few (not many) revisions when I reprised the talk, and no revisions for the revival. The presentation covered: Paper TitleThe AbstractThe IntroductionRelated WorkThe BodyPerformance ExperimentsThe ConclusionsFuture WorkThe AcknowledgementsCitationsAppendicesGrammar and Small-Scale Presentation IssuesMechanicsVersions and Distribution Running Example As a running (fictitious!) example, suppose you’ve designed and run experiments with a new algorithm for external multipass merge-sort. Your algorithm reduces the complexity from O(n log n) to O(n), under the premise that it’s acceptable to have some bounded “unsortedness” in the result. You plan to write up the results for submission to a major conference. Note: This example was used throughout the live presentation but I haven’t followed through much in these notes. Thus, the notes include several exercises for the reader. Paper Title Titles can be long and descriptive: Linear-Time External Multipass Sorting with Approximation Guarantees or short and sweet: Approximate External Sort Here’s a middle-of-the-road length, plus a cute name that sticks in people’s minds: Floosh: A Linear-Time Algorithm for Approximate External Sort The Abstract State the problem, your approach and solution, and the main contributions of the paper. Include little if any background and motivation. Be factual but comprehensive. The material in the abstract should not be repeated later word for word in the paper. (Exercise: Write an abstract for the multiway sort example.) The Introduction The Introduction is crucially important. By the time a referee has finished the Introduction, he’s probably made an initial decision about whether to accept or reject the paper — he’ll read the rest of the paper looking for evidence to support his decision. A casual reader will continue on if the Introduction captivated him, and will set the paper aside otherwise. Again, the Introduction is crucially important. Here is the Stanford InfoLab’s patented five-point structure for Introductions. Unless there’s a good argument against it, […]View Article »

What are verbs? Verbs are words that show an action (study), occurrence (develop), or state of being (exist). For example, the suffixes -ify, -ize, -ate, or -en usually signify that a word is a verb, as in typify, characterize, irrigate, and soften. The base form is called the infinitive. Eat, drink, and love are infinitives. 英語動詞の練習リスト 単語リスト（Word List） 動詞一覧 Below is a list of 200 verbs. ① 単純現在時制 = Base Form② 単純過去時制 = Past Form③ 単純過去時制 = Past Participle Form④ 三人称単数現在 = -s/-es/-ies Form⑤ 現在分詞 = -ing Form△ 後で勉強して法がいい (Uncommon/study these later) Base Form 単純現在時制 Past Form 単純過去時制 Past Participles 単純過去時制 -s/-es/-ies 三人称単数現在 -ing Form 現在分詞 変形一覧 「文法＆語法について」のトップページへ No. Base Form単純現在時制 Past Form単純過去時制 Past Participles単純過去時制 -s/-es/-ies三人称単数現在 -ing Form現在分詞 1 △ abide abode abode abides abiding 2 △ alight alit alit alights alighting 3 arise arose arisen arises arising 4 awake awoke awoken awakes awaking 5 be (am,are) was / were been is being 6 bear bore born/borne bears bearing 7 beat beat beaten beats beating 8 become became become becomes becoming 9 △ befall befell befallen befalls befalling 10 begin began begun begins beginning 11 behold beheld beheld beholds beholding 12 bend bent bent bends bending 13 △ bereave bereft bereft bereaves bereaving 14 △ beseech besought besought beseeches beseeching 15 bet bet bet bets betting 16 bid bade bidden bids bidding 17 bid bid bid bids bidding 18 bind bound bound binds binding 19 bite bit bitten bites biting 20 bleed bled bled bleeds bleeding 21 blow blew blown blows blowing 22 break broke broken breaks breaking 23 breed bred bred breeds breeding 24 bring brought brought brings bringing 25 broadcast broadcast broadcast broadcasts broadcasting 26 build built built builds building 27 burn burnt burnt burns burning 28 burst burst burst bursts bursting 29 bust bust bust busts busting 30 buy bought bought buys buying 31 cast cast cast casts casting 32 catch caught caught catches catching 33 △ chide chid chidden chides chiding 34 choose chose chosen chooses choosing […]View Article »

What does Candor mean? Candor Definition: Open and honest; sincerity of expression; open (openness); frank (frankness) Candor, noun (US English) | Candour (British English) How do you say Candor? Pronunciation: ˈkandə Candor Synonyms: frankness, openness, honesty, candidness, truthfulness, sincerity, forthrightness, directness, lack of restraint, straightforwardness, plain-spokenness, plain dealing, plainness, calling a spade a spade, unreservedly, bluffness, bluntness, outspokenness; Informal: telling it like it is Usage/Examples: “She’s a lady of refreshing candour.” “He spoke with a degree of candour unusual in political life.” “Minister Adel al-Jubeir, Johnson offered assurances of Britain’s friendship and stressed the importance of candor in their relationship.” “She spoke with candor about the challenges she faced.” “His candor was appreciated during the feedback session.” Produce More Ideas Candor generates more diverse or creative ideas because people don’t get fixated on the first idea that’s put on the table, avoiding the problems of idea anchoring and clustering. In traditional brainstorming, the first idea put on the table often becomes a point of fixation. In traditional brainstorming, the first idea put on the table often becomes a point of fixation. Avoid Bias People’s candid, unbiased views come to light because they generate ideas free of social pressure. Reviewing all the ideas at the beginning of the meeting gives everyone a voice, maximizing the creative potential in the room. In traditional brainstorming, when a majority of the room supports an idea, people with different points-of-view rarely speak up. In traditional brainstorming, when a majority of the room supports an idea, people with different points-of-view rarely speak up. Save Time Candor is extremely efficient. Spend less time in meetings and more time getting things done. This is a far more efficient process to put a lot more ideas on the table. In traditional brainstorming, ideas are generated sequentially — a team might spend 10 minutes discussing the first idea before turning to the second. HOW TO USE CANDOR Candor works by decoupling the generation of ideas from the evaluation of […]View Article »
