The basic idea is that you write up revision notes online in debate format, perhaps in answer to a sample exam question. For example. i.e "Yes the United Kindgdom needs a written constitution because it would protect civil liberties [expand]"

Our research has found that revising like this should be highly effective, but we need you to try it out and see if it helps you! Please login to the site and have a go and any feedback would be really appreciated. Thanks,

Calculation and bookkeeping, two apparently simple and relatively miniscule tasks, play a major role in everything from personal career planning to business operation, management, investment and so on. Moreover, accounting is probably the most objective of the business disciplines, applying mathematical formulas to judge the strengths and weaknesses of the business or its strategy.

Therefore, in order to improve my English language skill, I usually reading the English newspaper, listening the English radio channel, watching the foreign TV channel and program, charting with foreign net friend in the internet and so forth.

i'm in my last year of a classics school (high school, but i study things like ancient greek and latin amongst other things), and am in the process of applying to university in the UK through UCAS.
my main choice would be astrophysics, that has got nothing to do with my studies so far but it's my main passion. however, as i'm not too confident in my ability to get into such courses, i would also like to apply to linguistics which i think would be an easier course to get into considering my high school experience.

but i've got two problems/questions:

first thing has got nothing to do with personal statements, but - i've found *no* undergraduate linguistics courses in any university. they are all "MA", which i've been told means it's a postgraduate (master) course (they told me to only look for the Bs, like Bsc). i've been having the same difficulty with english language/literature etc. i only find MA courses, even if they're listed in the undergraduate degrees. did i get it wrong and MA is not postgrad but undergraduate? and if not, where are the linguistical / languages subject for undergraduates? do i have to apply to something like an introductory course and then pick a non-scientific subject?

if i *can* apply to linguistics as an undergraduate, then the personal statement problems begin. i've read a few of them through this website, and i've seen they tend to focus mainly on the chosen subject, why you like it, what you know of it and would like to learn about it in uni etc.
what if i pick two subjects that are so different one from the other like astrophysics and linguistics? do i have to devote two different parts of my statement to each one? do i have to try and mix the two things in a "my passions are astrophysics and linguistics"? i haven't started writing my PS yet, but i had a general idea which only included astrophysics, and i can't think of a way to make linguistics fit into that as well, in a good enough way so that universities will understand that i do have a passion for linguistics as well.

so, in short: is it possible to write a PS including two completely different subjects? any tips on how to do that? i don't want to write about two things shortly and get none right, but i also wouldn't want to stick to astrophysics while applying to linguistics as well, as i don't think that'd be of much help to get into linguistics. however, if it's not possible to do this, i would (sadly) give up on linguistics.

thanks for your help, this website has helped me a lot!
