Read all about it

 There will be a reading test for new students on July 2.  We give reading tests to show people who give us money that we are a good program.  It often takes 100 hours of reading to move up 5 points on the test.  


What is your favorite genre?  What are your favorite books?

Why do you want to learn English?

 


When do you most want to be good at English?  What do you want to do with your English?

Nice to meet you!

 


Hi!  What's your name?  Do you have a big family?  Do you like to talk about your family?  Do you like to talk about your job?  Do you have any hobbies?  What do you like to do?  Do you like to travel?  Where did you go?

I think they call this love

 


How old were you when you first fell in love?

What kind of music do you like?  Slow oldies are often good for my class because students can hear them and they are more likely to have correct grammar.  Can you believe this song is new?  What is your favorite song?

Summer 2025 Homework

 (Click and Write if the homework is good or not good for you-I want written assignments to take less than 20 minutes so that you have time to study vocabulary and listen to English in ways that you like.  I want the homework to be easy and useful.)

Kahoots so far

Welcome to English class! I am so happy you came!  

 Purple sentences are examples.


Homework for Thursday June 3  Study vocabulary.  Do yesterday's  to turn in if you didn't do it yesterday.

7-2  Today we practiced past and present short answers and yes/no questions.  We talked about our commutes.  We practiced past and present questions to get to know each other. (Do you want more practice?  Try this quiz or study and do exercises at these links:/"Simple" Present//"Simple" Past)  New students took reading tests.  Continuing students re-did their original paperwork, made comments on the blog, and practiced using count and noncount nouns in simple present tense.  From 2014-2019, students wrote a LOT of comments on the student website to practice writing.



Homework for Wednesday, June 2 :  I gave a worksheet in class to practice basic conversation questions.  I hope it is easy.  Please answer the questions and  write a comment to answer the questions on the blog under "nice to meet you."  Please use your first name, but not your last to comment.  If you don't want to answer on the internet, use paper and give it to me tomorrow. Study the vocabulary I put on the board.  I usually write the vocabulary on electronic flashcards called "Quizlet."

Happy Summer!

 Did you enjoy your first day of summer?  When I was a child, many ice cream trucks and merry-go-rounds played this tune, but I never heard the words.



Do you like ice cream?  What's the best flavor? Are you planning to travel this summer?  Where do you want to go?  Do you like to go to the beach?  What's your favorite beach?
