Vivid Nouns and Verbs. Although adjectives and adverbs are indispensable part of speech, they should not be substituted for strong, exact, and precise nouns or powerful, animated, and specific verbs.
Consider Harvard, where tuition and fees alone will add up to $43,938 this year. Harvard will pay for your education if you find yourself on the lower rungs of the income ladder, but aid gets more and more conservative the higher you go.
Harvard does not depend on tuition to survive. While the university collected $814 million in student fees in 2013, in the same year it received $880 million in gifts, and its endowment grew by $2 billion dollars from returns on investments. So, if all things remained the same, Harvardâs endowment would continue to grow by more than $1 billion per year.
