I’m sometimes asked to give advice on how to get into Oxbridge - Cambridge or Oxford universities.
Leading a cours.e at Cambridge means I have useful insights to impart, in the view of my questioners, at least.
.
I’m always happy to respond, as the answer is straightforward.
There's no special trick, no secret, no hidden revelation.
Nothing like that.
So there's no problem whatsoever in sharing the insight.
.
The problem is that I use a dictation app for many of my messages.
And sometimes, it doesn’t quite catch what I’m saying.
Which is when checking back becomes very important indeed.
.
As to the secret of getting into Oxford or Cambridge, and the trauma of typos...
You only need see the important part of the message I rather stupidly sent, as in the picture.
(Thank you to the recipient of this squirmy faux pas for being so good natured about it!)
