In fact, 90% of TOEFL test takers are accepted into their first- or second-choice university.
6. The TOEFL test measures speaking more fairly than any other English-language test.
Unlike other tests, the TOEFL test uses multiple raters to score you instead of just one rater.
The English High School of Boston, Massachusetts, United States, is one of the first public high schools in America, founded in 1821. Originally called The English Classical School, it was renamed The English High School upon its first relocation in 1824.[3] The current building is located in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston. The school is a part of Boston Public Schools (BPS).
Boston English was created at the urging of the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanics Association and was modeled after the Royal High School in Edinburgh, Scotland. The School Committee to establish English High School was chaired by Samuel Adams Wells, grandson of former Governor Samuel Adams. Its first headmaster was George B. Emerson, an early leader in educational reform. English, like Boston Latin School, only admitted boys when established—although a separate high school for girls was established in Boston by Emerson in 1824. Boston English became coeducational in 1972, 151 years after its founding.
Boston English has had seven locations. Its first site was on Derne Street at the rear of the Massachusetts State House and is marked by a metal plaque. Its second home was a building (still standing) at the corner of Pinkney and Anderson Streets, which eventually became the Phillips School, a school for then free born and emancipated African-Americans before the American Civil War. From 1844 to 1922, Boston English was adjacent to the Boston Latin School, first near downtown Boston and then in a building (now demolished) on Warren Street in the South End. From 1954 to 1989, Boston English was at 77 Avenue Louis Pasteur, across the street from Boston Latin (78 Avenue Louis Pasteur). This site is now part of Harvard Medical School.
The motto of the school has been: "The aim of every English High School boy is to become a man of honor and achievement." The current motto of the school is "Honor, Achievement, Service to Mankind".
Nowadays, English High has opened up its curriculum to include more liberal arts subjects such as foreign languages and writing as well as performing arts and more college preparatory courses. It has received an experimental "Commonwealth Co-Pilot School" status, geared toward improving the curriculum of urban schools. For a while, the school had an award-winning mock trial team as well.
Each Thanksgiving since 1887, English has played Boston Latin School in football in the oldest continuing high school rivalry in the United States. It is also the fourth longest U.S. high school rivalry of all time. In the 1993 football season, the football team made history by being the first team in school history to ever qualify for the Massachusetts State Championship. The Bulldogs (or Blue & Blue) defeated the Nantucket Whalers by the score of 16–7 to claim its school's first state championship. The '97 football team was the first team to go undefeated with a 12–0 record and English's second football state championship. Since 2005 the baseball team has started by a winning record of 18–0 and defeating their rivals the Brighton Bengals, and since then the baseball team has never let up and has won 2 city championships. English High also has competitive basketball, softball, volleyball, and track teams. Up until the 1980s, the school had a boys' hockey team, a golf team, and swimming teams for both boys and girls.The 1961-1963 football team went 39 and 0 under coach Bill Stewart.
This school offers a JROTC program. The program's mission is to motivate students to become better citizens. The program is led by Col. D. Bennett and Command Sergeant Major Hornbuckle. The students participate in drill competitions, community service projects, academic competitions, and town parades to name a few. Selected cadets also attend a summer leadership camp at Fort Devens, MA[clarification needed] in place of school for one week in June where they do activities such as obstacle courses, aquatics, rifle marksmanship, and rappelling off of 30 and 60-foot towers. English High JROTC has many partnerships with civic organizations, most notably the Roslindale Parade Committee, the Columbus Day Parade Committee, the City of Boston Veterans Day Committee and the Dorchester Day Parade Committee and the annual Special Olympics at White Stadium in Jamaica Plain.

/2015%2F01%2F30%2F43%2Foneplus.47628.jpg)
You may know OnePlus as one of the fast-rising Chinese mobile companies — the one that made a name for itself by offering an impressive phone, the OnePlus One, for a relatively cheap price. One of the key ingredients of the phone was its OS, a popular modified version of Android called Cyanogen.
Late last year, though, the relationship between OnePlus and Cyanogen hit the skids when the OnePlus One was banned in India because a rival manufacturer had an exclusive deal with Cyanogen to sell phones in that country. That led OnePlus to build its own Android-based OS, and now it has a name for it.
OxygenOS will be the name of OnePlus' homegrown mobile operating system, which the company says it will unveil to the world on Feb. 12. In the blog post announcing the name, OnePlus didn't give much detail on how OxygenOS would differentiate itself, only that it would be "open, customizable, and free of bloat and unnecessary features."
OnePlus' new Android-based ROM will be called OxygenOS. The company will reveal more on Feb. 12.

That's not a lot to go on, but the company has earned some goodwill with the One, which Mashable called an "extremely solid phone by most measures" in its review. We'll stick around to breathe a little Oxygen.How do you sign out of Xbox Live on the Xbox one?

Frequently Asked Questions with answer of How do you sign out of Xbox Live on the Xbox one?
Can you play Xbox One without Xbox Live?
You can play Xbox One without Xbox Live, but you will be missing out on a lot of the console’s features and potential.
Xbox Live is the online service that lets you play games against other people, use apps like Netflix and ESPN, and generally enhances the Xbox One experience. It’s not required, but it is strongly recommended.
If you choose to forego Xbox Live, you’ll still be able to play multiplayer games offline with people who are in your same “party.” You can also play singleplayer games, use basic apps like Blu-Ray and DVD players, and use the Kinect sensor for voice commands and gestures.
But you won’t be able to use many of the console’s best features without Xbox Live. You won’t be able to play online multiplayer games, use popular apps like Netflix and Hulu, or take advantage of the Xbox One’s cloud storage capabilities. You also won’t be able to use the Kinect sensor for voice commands or gestures unless you’re playing a game that specifically supports those features.
In short, you can play Xbox One without Xbox Live, but you’ll be missing out on a lot of what makes
