On holiday!

Personal Pronouns

"OMG!" means Oh, my God! We say this when we are very surprised about something. Yesterday, I couldn't believe my eyes. My students have forgotten the Personal Pronouns! 

OMG! Well, please do not panic and make the effort to go over the Personal Pronouns. Here's something to start with.

Health and Body Parts

These days many people are talking about bad healthy symptoms and it seems like everyone is feeling under the weather. Do you know why? 

Well, let's cheer everybody up with some doctor, doctor jokes. Are you familiar with them?

Here's a good one:

Doctor, Doctor my son has swallowed my pen, what should I do?
Use a pencil ‘till I get there.

And would you be able to talk to a doctor in English? If not, here are some basic words and expressions, which are mainly based on Health and body parts:




Do you know any other doctor, doctor jokes?

If so, please leave us a comment below. LOL

International Foods and Drinks

Phrasal Verbs

What's your city or town like?

 

What's your favourite city or town to live? 

 Is it where you were born or anywhere else? 

 If you feel like writing something in English, you could describe your ideal city for us, leaving a comment below. 

 Maybe you need some ideas and typical expressions all around the topic of places. Here you have two google presentations for that. Enjoy your writing!

Getting to know my students: About Me Survey

Hobbies, pastimes and sports

With this post, we will learn how to talk, listen, read and write about different free time activities, sports and hobbies.
We're also going to ask about likes and dislikes. At the same time, we'll spend some time expressing our own likes and preferences.



 

A Photography Contest

Today at school,  Ana has asked for some help for her Photography contest. 

First of all, thumbs up for her! Always marvellous to help my students and very good idea too.

She is taking part in this type of contest for the first time and so, she needs some help to understand the rules of this photography contest, which has got many different sections, as you can see on its website: http://picsart.com/contests   and blog: http://blog.picsart.com/

So, why don't you participate as well?

Very good luck for all the contestants! 

Time Flies

Wow, Time Flies! isn't it?

Seconds, minutes, hours, days, months and years are passing by and I wonder how I could stop the time.




Maybe if we learn the time, days and seasons in English, or perhaps not. Well, anyway if you're interested in measuring the time, here's a good video to watch:

For more info and practice about the time, please feel free to have a look at the presentation below.

One more time, please!

Future Events

Are you a good fortune teller? 


And what about telling the future in English?



At least we've got many weatherpeople and forecasters to rely on. Well, you're very likely to be worried about coming weather when planning an outing for the weekend, for instance.

Maybe you need to have a look at the following presentations entitled: Expressing Future Actions & what's the weather like? below:

Expressing Quantity

Today's topic is not only about expressing quantity, but related to these bikes on the car. What I'd like to say is that there are many ways of counting things in English. However, let's study them and try to use the most common ones every day.

Daily Routines and actions

Would you be able to describe your whole day from waking up to going to bed?


If so, why don't you leave a message telling us about you and you'll practise Daily routines and actions that way.


However, writing about our daily routine can be very dull and boring.

So, we could think about other ways of expressing everyday actions. How about telling a day from a cat's eyes? or the daily routine of a little baby or even a common day of a bird...
                                                                                                         

Well, it's just a question of using your imagination, don't you think? Let's be creative all day long!
