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

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!

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.



 

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.

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!

Sorry, but I think I'm lost

Have you ever got lost? I'm sure you have, at least once in your lifetime.

So, here's your section to share those amusing situations, when you got lost in anywhere you went to. Please, feel free to write about your anecdotes travelling, enjoying your holidays or even finding the way back home.

In order to get some inspiration for your entertaining stories abroad, here you'll find some common and useful expressions about Directions. With them, you'll learn how to give and ask for directions, and hopefully, you'll find your way back soon. Patricia Guerrero's power point presentation about Directions

 Still talking about our hilarious travelling anecdotes in the classroom, however, we've just realized that we do need a more elaborated task or project to practise with in class. So, we've been thinking about making up a Treasure Hunt or a Scavenger Hunt among our students. What do you think about it?

Classroom language

As you can see, this is a very important section for all of you. We need to understand each other, don't you think? So, time for starting up and let's set the classroom rules and instructions.

Any questions so far?

Getting to know you

We've just started the lessons in Rodeiro and we were getting to know each other in class. I asked my students to write their full names and a very short description of themselves. Only one sentence. They could write it physically or personally, as the example provided. However, I think we could spend some time on more vocabulary practice, describing people and perhaps and a listening [audio] about the same topic too. I hope you find this helpful and so, let's practise descriptions.
