Present Simple in English

Hi girls! I hope you had a great weekend. From the exam results, it is clear that you still have doubts about the construction of sentences in present simple. Please watch this video and make the homework featured at the end. We'll review your answers next class. See you on Friday.

How to make sentences in English

I asked you to write your daily routines as a homework for our last session. All of you turned the assignment on time, but neither of you was able to successfully construct the sentences. Please watch this video and carefully pay attention, to the rules to make perfect sentences in English. Once you have mastered the rules, English sentences will be really easy for you. It is like learning math, just follow the formulae.

After watching the video, please write 20 sentences of your daily routine. 10 affirmative and 10 negative sentences. :-)

Learning the English Alphabet

As I have been telling you in class, you have to finally learn how to spell in English. So, this time around, I have found a video showing you how letters are pronounced in English. Listen to it at least 5 times to learn them by heart. It's actually a very sweet video for kids. Go back to being little and enjoy. 

Personal pronouns in English and verb "to be"

Please take a look at these videos and write the rules down.

Forget about foreign languages, sometimes you need a translator in your own language

Few days ago, I was talking to my best friend and we thought it was hilarious the fact that he keeps on changing people's names, towns names and so on. Then I remembered this SNL clip I watched a couple of years ago and we watched it together. It was so accurate describing his case that it seemed the SNL writers were spying on him. Minutes later, we started talking about my own mom and her way of sending text messages. I used to show him her texts and asked him if he knew what she meant. She was always fighting with her cell phone because it wouldn't write what she was thinking and the reason was that she refused to  wear her glasses to type. Once, one of my brothers texted her telling her to put her glasses on whenever sending a text so he could understand what she meant. Next step, she put her glasses on and typed asshole, asshole, asshole, asshole and so on, then she asked him: Now, do you get it? Excuse my French here, but it was necessary. My mom should have been on SNL to add this subtle touch. Anyway, here is this video showing us that communication is tough even when we all speak the same language. Don't pee your pants.

It's a wrap or is it a rap?

I was trying to figure out the topic for my last entry for my neverending IT assignement. I was thinking about kindly saying goodbye and see all the IT crew back in the classroom. When I was going to write the title I got confused with the words rap and wrap. I know the both of them are pronounced the same but I was not sure of which one I needed to use in my title. I asked google and it told me it was the latter, to wrap up meaning to finish.

Then I thought of the many times when I got the chance to see the word there instead of their or your instead of you're and finally it's instead of its, all of them used by native speakers.

You can check the most common mistakes in English language here and get a better picture of what I am trying to explain. Finally for me, this ESL assigment is a wrap.
