  • Today we are boosting our vocabulary and learning 100 academic verbs this will be particularly

  • useful for college and university students. Rather than reading out a list, I'm going

  • to try to INCORPORATE all of these verbs into my sentences, and then when I say an academic

  • verb I will REVEAL it up here along with the definition. This lesson is brought to you

  • in collaboration with Chapter. Chapter PROVIDE a unique living experience for students from

  • across the globe. This is far beyond the the types of student accommodation I encountered

  • during my time at uni, which I can only CHARACTERISE as dark, musty, dwellings which were not fit

  • for human habitation. If I had the choice then I would definitely CHOOSE Chapter. And

  • if you are planning to STUDY at a university in London then I SUGGEST you CONSIDER staying

  • in one of the ten accommodations that Chapter have to offer. These are LOCATED in some of

  • the best places across London, including: ALDGATE, HIGHBURY, WHITE CITY, ISLINGTON,

  • KINGS CROSS, PORTOBELLO, SOUTH BANK, SPITALFIELDS and LEWISHAM, which is where we are right

  • now. And if Chapter will PERMIT us to VIEW then I can show you how those who SELECT this

  • fabulous accommodation will BENEFIT.

  • Just to CLARIFY this is Chapter's Lewisham accommodation. There are plenty of reasons

  • for you to BASE yourself here. Lewisham is a diverse creative and energetic area in south

  • east London with excellent transport links, and that just HIGHLIGHTS one of the benefits

  • of living within zones 1 & 2. I had a 60 minute commute from my dingy digs in zone 6 to uni

  • which negatively AFFECTED my overall experience because that time spent on the underground

  • could have been ALLOCATED to focussed study or vital socialising. But staying in these

  • lovely Lewisham digs will ENSURE you don't have to EXPERIENCE the dreaded commute I had

  • to endure. It's only 8 mins on the train into London Bridge for easy access to all

  • uni's, 8 mins on a bus to Goldsmiths University, and 17 mins via the DLR to the University

  • of Greenwich.

  • This facility is truly awesome. Imagine if you could DESIGN a building that will SUPPLY

  • not only a comfortable place to live but SUPPORT your studies and IMPROVE your lifestyle….…

  • Well Chapter has done exactly that. Allow me to OUTLINE what they have to offer.

  • Here you can OBTAIN a shared apartment or private studio, and whichever you choose I

  • PREDICT you will be very happy. There's a big comfy bed, and I PROPOSE that you use

  • it to get plenty of sleep to help PROMOTE a healthy lifestyle balance. Let me DEMONSTRATE!

  • And

  • that ladies and gentlemen REFLECTS how tired I was at uni, I worked so hard!

  • ACHIEVE top marks by EMPLOYING this study area to produce your best work, and PERFORM

  • to the best of your ability. You can ESTABLISH yourself as the on-site

  • Jamie Oliver and INCREASE your popularity by using these wonderful kitchen facilities,

  • though if you're anything like me you will have a knack for DESTROYING even the most

  • basic of meals. Of course we also have a much needed shower

  • to ELIMINATE any odours and a loo, just remember to REPLACE the toilet roll. It's so nice

  • in here, it really does ALTER my perception of student living. In fact I may just REMAIN

  • here for good.

  • Prices start at Chapter Lewisham from £224 per week which in my opinion is super cheap,

  • and however you plan to FINANCE your student lifestyle you can rest assured that Chapter

  • will EXCEED expectation as far as quality accommodation goes. If I COMPARE the overpriced

  • flat I stayed in during my uni days, it doesn't even come close in terms of quality. Places

  • are available for this September so if you are looking for an incredible place to live

  • then you need look no further then Lewisham, let me EXPLAIN.

  • Chapter AIM to create a full student experience, providing a range of additional facilitates

  • and benefits to AID and ASSIST study, social and daily living.

  • There's a resident laundry so you can REMOVE those tough ketchup stains and SUSTAIN that

  • 'Freshly Washed' smell. MEASURE your level of skill by PARTICIPATING

  • in a game of billiards or shuffleboard in the games room. ATTEMPT to AQUIRE and MAINTAIN

  • a healthy fitness level in the private resident gym. I don't know about you but I cannot

  • FUNCTION properly without regular exercise, and I also GAIN weight very quickly. And if

  • you are partial to a kebab or two then you may end up DEPENDING on the gym, just don't

  • DAMAGE yourself by overdoing it. Their 200MB dual-band WiFi will FACILITATE your need for

  • a strong internet connection, to watch youtube of course, a platform which can SOLVE any

  • problem. If you struggle to CONCENTRATE in your own

  • quarters and you have a difficult essay to WRITE or an assignment to TACKLE then you

  • can access a communal but private study space, and that might help you to FOCUS. However

  • if you FAVOUR working in groups and want to CONNECT with your fellow students then, if

  • I can DIRECT your attention over here, simply head over to the group study space.

  • It's important to NOTE that students can AVOID missing their favourite tv shows by

  • making use of the cosy TV room, complete with Sky TV.

  • If you POSSESS a bicycle and plan to ride to University, then you will SEEK a safe place

  • to store it, well look no further. Finally Chapter REINFORCE a sense of security

  • with a 24hr team on site and students will REQUIRE a pass to get in and out.

  • Having EMPHASISED the features of this accommodation, I should tell you that each Chapter property

  • across London is unique and their benefits VARY, so there's something for everyone.

  • For example, you may be OVERCOME with awe at Chapter Spitalfields 32nd floor bar or

  • 33rd floor library which offer stunning panoramic views across London, and their loft studios

  • overlooking the city. A sky lounge overlooking the London Eye CONTRIBUTES

  • to the charm of Chapter South Bank. If you would rather be in west London then CLAIM

  • a spot at Chapter Portobello, in a lovely spot next to the canal. Or COMPETE to get

  • your hands on a place in their newest property in White City, offering rooms from just £199

  • per week. And features DIFFER further with sites in the North and East, including a private

  • cinema at Highbury.

  • Chapter is not just a place to live, but it's a whole lifestyle which will help you to ADAPT

  • to London living and ADOPT a whole community of friends through some of the many Chapter

  • organised events. Once you IDENTIFY which is the best Chapter

  • for you and book a room you become a member of Chapter, which means you can use all the

  • amenities and attend the events at all ten Chapters across London.

  • To CONCLUDE, let me SUMMARISE. Student accommodation has EVOLVED! Chapter is offering what I can

  • only DESCRIBE as high end student living. And if I have EXPRESSED myself accurately

  • and you are in need of student accommodation in London then why not ACCEPT my invitation

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

  • Chapter. And if you have any queries then simply sending them a message, giving them

  • a call, or using their live chat function on their website will YIELD some answers.

  • Was that 100 verbs?….no 8 short. Ah for fear of you LABELLING me a bad teacher, which

  • would CAUSE me great distress, let me complete the list. My determination comes not only

  • from my need to fulfil a promise but DERIVES from a desire to help and educate. I want

  • to GENERATE useful content which COINCIDES with my hope to INDUCE a sense of fun. Ah

  • two left….I should DIVIDE them into two sentences. No I REJECT that idea!
