【推荐2】With exams just around the comer, now is a good time to explore some of UCL’s lesser-known (鲜为人知的）study spaces and get down to some revision. Here are some good choices for you:
UCL Senate House Hub
UCL Senate House Hub opened in 2015 and provides 144 study spaces. What’s more, you can check how many spaces are available online, before you head to the place. Located on the 3rd floor of the South Block of Senate House, the center has room for individual and group study in traditional library spaces, as well as armchairs and computers.
UCL Eastman Dental Library
The newly-redecorated UCL Eastman Dental Library is located halfway along Gray’s Inn Road and is open from Monday to Friday, 9 am to 8 pm. The library has 72 study spaces and many IT facilities (设备）.The library also has a study room for meetings, and a computer room with a whiteboard.
UCL Language & Speech Science Library
UCL Language & Speech Science Library (LaSS) has disabled access and has recently been redecorated to add extra study spaces. With only 49 spaces, LaSS is smaller than most UCL libraries and tends to fill up quickly, so get there early to avoid disappointment.
Senate House Library
This one may be cheating as Senate House Library is not technically a UCL library. However, all UCL students and staff can register (注册）for free membership online. With millions of books and journals, Senate House Library offers some places which are a little less used by UCL students but perfect for students who want to focus on some hard work.

【推荐3】I’m a strong believer that learning different languages makes you look incredibly good when you’re in a foreign country. The list below introduces 4 apps that will help you learn a foreign language! You can download them for free.
Babbel—Learn Languages
Babbel is an excellent language tool to help you progress step by step when learning a new language. It helps you learn grammar along the way as you work your way through the tasks and assignments. The downside is that for full access to everything you need to pay a monthly subscription, but this will still be cheaper than taking physical lessons with a tutor!
Duolingo: Learn Languages Free
The app has many languages to choose from and will work through the basics all the way to advanced words and sentences. It’s all completely free too! It is incredibly well designed, looks great and will help you learn, remember and progress with just a little hit of time every day.
Tandem : Language Exchange
Rather than have you work through tasks and memorize different things, the app lets you match with people who share your interests but speak the language you want to learn. You can then have text, voice and video conversations with people who want to learn your native language, and in return you learn theirs, all by simply communicating with each other. It’s a great way to learn with only $ 1 a day.
busuu—Learn English
This app is perfect if you want to learn English. There are all sorts of audio and visual learning aids. You’ll find yourself working through interactive tests and learning tools for vocabulary and dialogue. You can enjoy advanced functions by subscribing to the service.

ONLINE REVIEW:
1.0 out of 5 stars Definitely tastes healthy
By parent of 4 ★★★★★ May 18, 2023
Well, I can't say I didn't try. I wanted to feed my kids something healthier for breakfast than their usual Frosted O's and Cinnareal, but this one completely failed. My kids aren't even picky, but this cereal tasted like cardboard.There was absolutely nothing fun or "charming" about it. The "shaped fruit" just looked like pressed bugs, and that was the only part of the cereal that tasted good. And it was so expensive on top of it all!
RESPONSE:
I'm sorry to hear your family did not like our cereal. We had broad feedback making this product and received lots of good reviews about it. Perhaps the transition from a lot of sugar to a product that has almost none was too quick? We want you to be happy and would be glad to send you a beneficial ticket to purchase something else our company makes. Please email us at contact@jacobsenfoods.com and tell us about your situation and we'll get into contact with you.

【推荐1】There are some palaces in Europe that you may be interested to know about.
Royal Palace of Madrid, SpainIt takes the title of the largest European palace by floor area and it is one of the largest palaces in the world. The Royal Palace of Madrid was built in the 18th century by order of Philip V on the site of the old Alcázar fortress, a former Moorish castle. With over 135,000 square metres and 3,418 rooms, it has seeded centuries of Spanish history. It is one of the few official seats of a head of state that is open to the public.
Royal Palace of Brussels, BelgiumIt is a historic and the most wonderful building in Brussels, Belgium, next to Brussels Park. The Royal Palace of Brussels is the King’s main workplace, where he works daily with his staff. A tradition has been established since 1965 to open the Royal Palace of Brussels to the public normally from the 21 July until the beginning of September.
Pena Palace, PortugalIt is the most popular attraction in Sintra, Portugal, and the main reason why so many people visit the small mountain town less than one hour’s drive from the country’s capital city, Lisbon. The colorful palace perched upon a hill looks like something out of a fairy tale. Its yellow and bright red appearance makes Pena Palace one of the most picturesque places in Europe. The UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) site has a rich history that dates all the way back to the Middle Ages.
Palace of Venaria, ItalyIt is a former royal living places and gardens located in Venaria Reale, near Turin in the Metropolitan City of Turin of the Piedmont region in northern Italy.

【推荐2】Architect Daniel Libeskind is the designer of some global landmarks such as New York’s One World Trade Center and Berlin’s Jewish Museum. In his new book, he reviews his life’s work and its inspirations — including these books.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. I love Lewis Carroll; he’s a total genius (天才). His two classic works are children’s books for grown-ups because they show aspects of the creative mind that we all have but seldom use in adulthood. Inspired by Carroll, I make a habit of trying to learn seven amazing things before breakfast.
Ulysses by James Joyce. Joyce once said that if Dublin were destroyed, you could recreate the entire city from this novel. You can’t do urban planning without Ulysses because it is a labyrinth (迷宫) you can never leave.
In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust. Proust’s great novel is really a book of reflections about how architecture — our living spaces — creates a blueprint (蓝图) for our dreams, our desires, our emotions, and our memories. Where we have lived, what we have eaten, and what kind of cups we use — all of those aspects are examined here in minute detail.
Emily Dickinson’s Herbarium about Emily Dickinson’s work. From childhood onward, Dickinson collected, pressed, and classified the plants she grew in her garden in Amherst. Through the pictures in this book, you can see how her poetry — all her symbols, all her metaphors (隐喻), the colors she mentions — mirrors nature. You don’t even have to read her poetry to see what a great artist she was.

【推荐3】Ireland is one of the world’s dreamiest destinations with its peaceful landscapes and fantastic culture. To ensure you have the best time, I’ve come up with the bucket list for Ireland!
The Wild Atlantic Way
It’s Ireland’s most popular road trip and it’s not hard to see why! Covering an impressive 1600 miles, it’s one of the world’s longest coastal routes. To drive the whole thing, you’ll need at least 7 days but preferably more.
The Ring of Kerry
It’s another famous road trip route in Ireland. In fact, it makes up part of the Wild Atlantic Way. It covers a distance of around 111 miles. So you don’t rush your time in this area, try to allow at least 3.5 hours for the best experience.
The Sky Road
It’s only 10 miles long, but allow at least 2.5 hours so you can explore some of the top sights in the area. There’s an upper and lower road that you can take, with the upper road offering the best views. However, you can always do both if you wish (just allow more time).
The Coastal Causeway Route
This awesome road trip starts from Belfast and ends in the city of Derry. This route covers a distance of around 120 miles and the majority of it runs along the coast, so you’ll get breathtaking views. Try to allow at least 3-4 days if you plan to do this route.
