Hello, could you please help me rephrase the bolded parts below?
The area where I want to conduct my research is vulnerable witnesses. The question I will try to answer is: What is the youngest age a child become competent to testify in court?
One of the purposes will be to determine what is the children' age threshold for being heard in court as a witness
Thank you very much
Here are a few...
At what age is a child considered competent enough to testify in court?
One of the purposes will be to determine at [b]what age a child could be considered a credible witness, able to testify at a court hearing.
What age should deem a child competent -- per se -- to testify in court?
Rephrase a sentence in the SOP
'My grades and academic achievements paved the way for my entry into one of the country's premier institutions- XYZ College of Engineering.'
Problem is I came across this sentence in someone else's SOP. I have drafted my own SOP but unfortunately, I found myself using this line. I do not want it to be a copy and am not able to think of a better way to express the aforementioned sentence. It would be a great help if someone could point out a way to construct a new sentence with the meaning unchanged.
Deltroix, check this out,
I believe my grades and academic achievements were considered in making admission decision of my application into XYZ college of engineering.
I hope this help?
I think an adjective would help here. And, I have used the phrase 'I believe' too many times throughtout my SOP, so if you could provide me another alternative, it would be very nice, thank you! :)
I believe
I trust
I conclude
I think
I reckon
I regard
...
I think my grades and academics is to be treated as a checkpost for my entry into the xyz college
You could also try to state this sentence in a manner that shows how the college was impressed by your credentials as a student and hence, offered you enrollment into their university which you gladly accepted. I would phrase it in this manner: One of the university's that offered me a student placement in their engineering department was XYZ University. The invitation to join their student community was based upon my excellent academic record and achievements. I gladly accepted their invitation and graduated from their Engineering Department in XXXX.
