Crime and Punishment Vocabulary for IELTS - Upper Intermediate

Crime and Punishment Vocabulary for IELTS - Upper Intermediate There is a well known book entitled “Crime and Punishment” written by the equally well known Russian author Dostoyevsky. There is also a BBC series of the same name. My post, however, is a little more mundane (common) where I take a look at English crime and punishment vocabulary words and phrases. By the end of this post you will be able to learn, recognise and use some of these useful  English words and expressions related to crime and punishment. Enjoyed this infographic? Here’s what you can do next: Crime and Punishment Vocabulary Words Vocabulary related to CrimeROBBERYa robbery takes place when someone (a robber)  enters a property that is not his/hers and  takes something  (cash,  paintings,  jewellery and other items).A ROBBER (the person)  usually breaks in  (gains access illegally to a building, house office or apartment)  and robs  (the verb to rob)  items as I  have described.Many centuries ago there were “highway Robbers” travelling across England on  horseback where they would rob the stagecoach usually occupied by well off (wealthy) travellers.A  BREAK IN  to our home or office is also referred to as BURGLARY  and the  BURGLAR  is the criminal.MUGGINGThis is where an individual is attacked in the street and robbed of his possessions he is  carrying.  These usually consist of jewellery like rings and watches, cash, credit cards and mobile  phones.The MUGGER  (person who commits the crime)  may or may not use violence. The victim is  then said to haven been MUGGED  or robbed.ASSAULTThis word is usually used to describe when a person is attacked in their home or work place  or in the street by a person referred to as the ASSAILANT. The attack may be an unprovoked attack (not planned or carried out for a particular reason). The reason is not usually to take possessions but  purely to inflict harm or injury on the VICTIM  (the person assaulted).SHOPLIFTINGNot seen as a really serious crime as people are seldom injured, shoplifting is when an  individual deliberately takes something from a shop with out paying for the goods. This is typically  food or clothing that is concealed (hidden)  in a bag or a coat to avoid being detected  (seen) by a  security guard or shop assistant. The SHOPLIFTERS (those carrying out the crime)  are often young  adolescents (teenagers)  but not always.PICKPOCKETINGA well known crime which is highlighted in many old novels. This occurs when  someone unknown to you casually  (in a relaxed way)  is able to steal (take with out your knowledge) a purse or walle t from your coat or pockets whilst standing beside or behind you. This often takesplace in a busy street where people are constantly bumping into each other. The PICKPOCKET (criminal)  mixes with the crowd in shops and train stations trying to identify an unsuspecting  (innocent) victim. Crime and Punishment Vocabulary Words Vocabulary Words related to Crime (continued)MURDERThis is of course the most serious of all crimes. People are regrettably murdered every day.Some people die accidentally in car accidents so they are  KILLED  not murdered.When someone is  murdered it is usually deliberate  (intentional). For example,  shot by an armed robber or attacked in  the street.  However,  if someone dies from an attack but it was not intended to kill that person then  the murderer/killer is likely to be charged with  MANSLAUGHTER  which is a lesser charge.FRAUDThis has been a crime throughout the centuries and usually associated with money or  valuable paintings or jewellery. The  FRAUDSTER  (criminal) attempts to get someone’s money or  valuables. This in the case of a painting can be attempted by trying to replace the original painting with a copy (forgery).Today,  fraud is now a big issue because of internet crimes so people are trying  to find ways to access our personal details and bank accounts on-li ne and rob us without having to  physically break in to our homes or offices.Other crimes include  ARSON  where someone deliberately sets fire to buildings or forestsand  BLACKMAIL  where the criminal (BLACKMAILER)  tries to get money for you in exchange for not divulging  (releasing) very private information that may damage your reputation (personal photo’s or details perhaps of some affair).So there are many ways to describe different types of crime as we have seen: Burglary,  Robbery,  Mugging, Shoplifting but the unfortunate person is usually only referred to as a  victim.  A VICTIM OF CRIME. Vocabulary Words related to PunishmentOnce the criminal is apprehended  (caught by the police)  then the process is often a long one  involving months or years before he/she is brought before the courts, put on trial (in front of a  Judge and a Jury) and if/when found guilty sentenced (what prison term he /she will get)  and sent  to jail.A JURY  is a group of citizens (usually no more than 12 men and women)  who are picked  randomly and listen to the evidence presented and directed  (helped by)  by the judge, decide based  on the evidence they hear whether the accused is guilty of the crime.For lesser crimes like shoplifting and petty crimes  (damage to public property)  the  OFFENDER  (often  youngsters)  may get COMMUNITY SERVICE  (working some hours in the community instead of a prison sentence). This could involve cleaning the streets or painting public property or helping deliver  meals to the elderly.Other criminals can be put on PROBATION (released from prison)  for a period of  months or years. They can live at home and will not go to prison provided they do not carry out any  criminal activity for the probation period. In recent years some countries have introduced ELECTRONIC TAGGING  (a tag like a watch or electronic gadget) of these type of criminals so the police can track  (study)  their movements and they may be restricted from leaving their home between 7  pm in the  evening and 7 am in the morning. Useful sentences and phrases related to Crime and Punishment He was accused of committing a crime. believed to be a suspect responsible for a particular crimeHe was charged with committing the crime. when the evidence clearly shows he carried out the  crimeHe was sent forward for a trial or put on trial. a date is set when he must appear before the Judge  and JuryHe was found guilty. the evidence presented to the Judge and Jury is accepted by the Jury as proof  that he committed the crimeHe is sentenced by the Judge or the Judge passes sentence. the judge announces what the  punishment will be    He will serve his time. judge tells him how long and where he will be kept until releasedHe was acquitted of the charges. found not guilty, insufficient evidenceHe was released on probation. after serving part of his sentence the prisoner is eligible for paroleThe sentence for the crime is quashed  (new evidence comes up)  and following an appeal by his  lawyers he is deemed (believed)  not to have committed the crime and released immediately.

Whats your Internet Identity

What's your Internet Identity Photo by jared on flickr.com We are able to control what other people see in our personal lives. If we have a bad day, we have the option to complain about it on Facebook or Twitter or to keep it to ourselves and not let anyone know. Vice Versa, if we have a fantastic day, we have the option to brag about it and let the whole world know. We create an identity and a personality with what we choose to share with the World Wide Web. What we choose to write, share, post, read, and buy  creates an image that we portray on the internet; however, the image we portray on the internet may not be the same as the image we portray in real life. On the internet we can create an image that is happy-go-lucky seemingly every day, but in reality we may not be so happy on a daily basis. The internet has allowed us to create this avatar of ourselves without us even realizing it. Most of us probably do not think about how a simple Facebook post will affect our internet identity, but reality is that everything we do on the internet does exactly that. The internet has become an alternate reality where we are able to portray ourselves in a different light and communicate with others through posts and pictures and what we all now call “Facebook stalking.” Through this alternate reality we are able to access information on a person based on their internet identity, but do we ever really know a person until we spend actual time with them? Today, we live in a world where we are constantly connected and our internet identity is seen as a direct reflection of who we are. But it is not a direct reflection. It is an image that has been carefully created for others to see, either consciously or not. Do we want others to think that we are constantly happy-go-lucky, or do we want others to know how we feel on a day to day basis? I guess that is up to us. We can use our internet identities both to our advantage and to our disadvantage. If we are careful enough we can create an internet identity that will attract future employers, but on the other hand, and this is something we all know, our internet identity can  turn away   future employers. current employers, and more.   Our internet identity is something we have absolute control over and we can choose whether we want to focus our image on friends or work.   Both have their advantages.   Both have their disadvantages. But which one do we create? As college students we are stuck between the two. We are placed in both a social and professional setting.   We want friends to be able to find and communicate with us through the internet, but we also want current and potential employers to do so.   We need to create an internet identity that works for both our friends and employers.   We can post our weekend events, but maybe leave out the incredibly drunk pictures.   We cannot complain about our bosses on Facebook, Twitter, or any other form of social media.   We can create an identity that reflects who we are both socially and professionally, but we have to recognize that we do control our image.

How To Create Your Own Business Cards The Right Way

How To Create Your Own Business Cards The Right Way Via (LinkedIn) While LinkedIn and Twitter are useful tools to share your work experience and information, a person may just need an e-mail address to contact you; hand over a personal card with your name and number for easier accessibility. Designing your business card can be simple by using these three tips. 1. What to Include As simple as a business card may look, including the right information can save you and your card’s recipient time and trouble. For example, only use updated and reliable details that would make it easier for a person to get in contact with you. Here is general information that should appear on your personal business card. A Name Make sure to put your full name and not what your friends call you or a shortened version of your name. If you have a middle name, the time to decide if you like your middle name or not has come. An Address A city and state should do. No one really needs to know your personal home location. Omitting your street name and number also gives off an air of discretion. An E-Mail Address By now, you’ve probably made several email accounts. One may be your subscription and spam mail account; you should designate one address to be your business inquiries account. An easy way to choose is list the account you use most often since you won’t forget to check for any important messages. A Phone Number Only list your cellphone number since you have it on you all the time. Make sure to set up your voicemail greeting for an extra pinch of professionalism. What To Avoid Via (Bundlr) It doesn’t have to look too flashy. Keep your card simple to read. You can use a smaller version of your personalized logo as a trademark symbol of certification. Just don’t paste it over your whole card; people will appreciate they didn’t have to force their vision. Don’t buy in bulk. You may not need 250 printed cards, and you’ll probably have no use for them after you’re employed. I’d say about 50 will do, so don’t spend more than you have to. Collecting dust is not a business card’s purpose. Do not include social media links on your business card. Right off the bat, no one cares how many followers you have or about your latest Instagram posts. Deliver yourself in a pitch and let them want to know more about you. If they seek you out using your card information, send them a return email with your links under your signature for more engagement. Tools You Can Use Where should you go for business card making? Use these stores and sites as references or printers for your new networking tool. Office Depot has the most standard delivery for card design and printing for the passive student. Their “100 cards for $20” sweet deal goes well with their free standard delivery with no minimum purchase; you save $15 off the regular price and no shipping? My wallet likes that. The UPS Store offers templates, printing, and pick-up. Their offers start at $24.99 for a minimum of 100 cards. If you have a location near you, some stores have a graphic designer on staff to help you create your card. Vistaprint is a one-stop shop for marketers as well as new entrepreneurs. They have several ways for you to create your cards such as uploading a design, searching through templates, or requesting an expert’s services. They offer a variety of packages and features that can help you create the card that you want and even offer tips as “proven ways to get you noticed.” Moo is the cool entrepreneur’s holy grail in business. They don’t just help you create and print business cards they help you create cards for everyone in your new business! The site offers different amount and preference packages, postcard designs for special events, and even stickers. Overnight Prints is the same, or better, deal as Vistaprint. They ensure that no matter what design you choose, it will be high quality. They stay true to their name and offer overnight delivery with their B.I.T.G.I.T. system  buy it today, get it tomorrow. Order by 8 p.m. EST and your cards will arrive the next day. Business cards save the day when randomly engaging in a networking opportunity or attending social events. Keep several cards in your wallet for emergencies. Use your best judgment, and these tips, to create some good-looking, attention-grabbing, useful business cards.

9 Cheap Career Apps To Take You To The Next Level

9 Cheap Career Apps To Take You To The Next Level Image via Pixabay.com 1.  Monday  (Productivity/Organization) Most of us hate when Monday rolls aroundâ€"but it can be a little less painful if you have the Monday app! Monday is a productivity app that teams or individuals can use either online and on mobile devices to organize and prioritize several tasks. All you need to do is make a list of tasks (either your own tasks or a set of office “to-do”s that you and other colleagues can split) and label each one based on its level of completion. If you’re working in a team, a fast glance at the Monday board can instantly tell you what your colleagues are working on. Managers and supervisors will love being able to see where their colleagues are in a task, and you’ll find it easier to track progress and reach out to folks who seem like they could use a hand. You can even mark a task as “stuck” for when you just can’t figure something out. If you need another reason to love Monday, every task in your dashboard can be color-coded based on level of completionâ€"and there’s a great amount of satisfaction that comes from seeing a task move from red to yellow to green. Done! Monday is free to download in the App store. 2.  Ummo (Self-Improvement) Most of us don’t consider ourselves experts at public speaking, and it’s safe to say we can all improve our speech habits just a littlewho doesn’t want to sound more professional, articulate and polished? Founded by students at Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, “Ummo” is your personal weapon against those “umms” and “you know”s that pop up when we speak in team meetings, workshops, presentations, and conversations with potential employers. All you need to do is record yourself speaking, and the app generates a personal report to help you identify filler words and phrases you want to stop saying, including curse words. If you’re looking to improve your habits, stop saying “well” every 10 seconds, and become more aware of the words you use as crutches, this “personal speech coach” might do the trick. I mean, uh, you might as well try it. You have, like, nothing to lose! It might even be worth keeping updated on Ummo as they work on improving their technology according to their webpage, Ummo is working on “a clip-on mic or necklace that seamlessly and continuously analyzes your speech over the course of an entire day, providing real-time feedback via your Apple Watch, buzzing your wrist each time you say a filler word or showing you data you care about on your watch display.” This could definitely change the way you work and communicate. Stay tuned! Ummo is $1.99 to download in the App store. 3.  Golden (Self-Improvement/New Opportunities) Do you feel as though your skills could use some sharpening? Wish you could find some great volunteer opportunities to stay competitive in the workforce and improve your personal wellness? Golden might be your solution. This app screens volunteer opportunities and simplifies the searching process to help you find a gig that you love. How? Golden takes into account your time constraints, location, interests, friends and other preferences and presents different options for your review. If you’re interested, hit the “Down to Volunteer” button. Once you’ve found what you’re looking for, Golden will keep track of your hours for you so there’s no need to scramble last-minute if you need to report them to prospective employers. You can even get your background check done on Golden! Golden is free to download in the App store. 4. Google Docs, Sheets, and Keep (Productivity) Have you ever been on the train and suddenly realized you forgot to update an important column in your company’s cash flow spreadsheet? Or do you ever wish you could get started on that writing assignment in the downtime you have before your doctor’s appointment? Take your Google applications mobile! While you might already be aware of the Docs and Sheets apps, you might not know about Google Keep (and you should). Google Keep is a great app to have in those moments where somebody gives you their contact information, complex instructions, or advice on a problemit’s like the “notes” section of your phone, but much safer because Keep is cloud-based just like Docs and Drive. If you’re like me and you’ve run out of the iCloud storage you need for your iPhone’s notes to back up, you’ll find Google Keep to be a great alternative. Google Keep notes are accessible wherever you go, given that you sign in with your email address, and they’re easy to color-code, format as a checklist for grocery store runs, and even copy to Google Docs if you’d like to expand the content you wrote in your note. You can share Google Keep notes with others and pin important notes to the top of your screen (no more searching for your passwords). These Google apps are free to download in the App store. 5.  Prezi (Efficiency/Presenting) Infographic by Julia D One of the most dynamic slideshow platforms out there, Prezi levels up your presentations with more designs and layouts than PowerPoint, and certainly more unique features. You’ll usually be able to recognize a Prezi slideshow by its elegant moving parts and its fluidity; this means, the next time you need to create a slideshow, you have many more options for making the content come alive (alive enough to wake up your coworkers at the 8 a.m. meeting, at least). You can share your presentations with collaborators and even work offline on days when your Wi-Fi just won’t cooperate. Prezi livens up and brightens your presentations with customizable and pre-made templates that you can adapt for your purposes. Prezi is free to download in the App store. 6.  Things (Productivity/Organization) Things is a great app that optimizes your to-do list. According to this article, “The latest version [of the app] can slice and dice tasks into multiple views (such as “today,” “this evening,” and “upcoming”), break tasks into smaller parts with headings, and manage tasks in bulk.” Conveniently, Things also allows you to import tasks from the Reminders section of your phone and through Siri as well. What I like most about this app is that it allows you to group different tasks together under different headings. This means you can create a heading to denote a large project you’re working on (say “finish my thesis” or “land a new job,” for instance) and break down the smaller steps/actions that will move you along towards the goal. Most of us have heard that it’s easier to break daunting projects into tiny, manageable chunks so that we feel a sense of progress as we complete simpler tasksâ€"it’s true! If you don’t have a complicated project going on, a heading like “health” or “wellness” can encompass all those to-do items that might not normally be clumped together, such as “sign up for yoga class” or “schedule appointment with physical therapist.” Grouping these similar items together will help you pay more attention to the category overall and keep you from procrastinating on calling the dentist. Although this isn’t necessarily a cheap career app, it may very well be worth the $9.99 it costs if you’re dying to trick out your to-do lists and get more of your work done. 7.  GoodCo (New Opportunities) If you’re hoping to find a meaningful job that makes you happier, check out GoodCo, a “culture platform” that makes your job search much more enjoyable and productive. As described by CareerBuilder.com, “GoodCo uses fun quizzes and personality assessments to help users discover their unique skills and strengths. It then draws from thousands of company profiles to match them with companies and positions that align with these attributes.” Many of us dream of having a job that really resonates not only with our core values but with our strongest talents. GoodCo can be a great career app for showing you which companies might be worth pursuing depending on your personality, and for pointing you in the right direction for jobs that could be a great fit. It’s also useful if you’d like to gain a better understanding of your own strengths and areas for improvement, as the app contains fun self-discovery questionnaires! Download GoodCo and you’ll think twice about hiring a career coach; the app can change the way you think about yourself as a professional. GoodCo is free to download in the App store. Image via Pixabay.com 8.  Meetup  (New Opportunities/Networking) You probably already guessed what this career app is all about: helping you meet up with others! With Meetup, you can search for groups of like-minded people doing activities you enjoy, and meet up with them. You can also organize your own meetups around things that you love (or things you’d like to get better at). Say you’re hoping to practice your Spanish or learn Dutchyou can use Meetup to find others who may be willing to practice with you or even tutor you. If you’re hoping to train for a marathon, a Meetup centered around the same goal can introduce you to new friends and motivators as you amp up your workouts and challenge your personal bests. Career-wise, Meetup can act as a tool for locating networking events that might help you meet people in your field, or a field you’re hoping to switch into. If you aren’t looking for anything in particular, try browsing the different Meetup categories on the app or website; they’ve got “Outdoor Adventures,” “Tech,” “Learning,” “Food Drink,” “Writing,” “Language Culture,” “Social” and “Career Business,” just to name a few. At one of these Meetups, you might just find a great social media maven to help you start up your new website, or an engineer interested in collaborating with you on your next project. Meetup is free to download in the App store. 9.  Udemy (Self-Improvement/Learning) Similar to Coursera, Udemy is an online learning platform and teaching marketplace offering over 80,000 courses from data science to photography. Each course costs $9.99, and with the mobile app, you can access course materials (including videos) on the go. The best part of Udemy? You can take courses on your own schedule. Top categories on Udemy include Design, Marketing, Office Productivity, Language and Personal Development. Now, there’s no excuse to put off your longtime goal of learning to code. If graduate school is in your future, you can even find test prep courses on Udemy to help you ace the GRE, GMAT, LSAT and more. Udemy is free to download on the App storeâ€"just don’t forget the small fee for the course itself. It’s never too late to improve your professional relationships, grab that job you’ve always wanted, or perfect your speaking skills. Consider downloading these cheap career apps to get started and take yourself to the next level in the job market.
