NO INTERMEDIATE CLASS AM AT PIMMIT

There aren't enough students to run morning Intermediate class at Pimmit.  I'm sorry and sad.  Plum PM will start next Wednesday as planned.

I hope to see you (Pimmit People) in September.  

Once you've been my student, you are always welcome to use the blog.  Please write comments to let me know how you are and what you are doing.

Hope I see you next Wednesday!!

Please send me pictures to post!  I put some pictures from evening class under student photos.⇒


 If you aren't coming for the summer....

Have you ever accidentally met someone you knew in a place you didn't expect to?  Write about it!!

Something just like this....

(some superhero gifts....wanna=want to.....where'd=where do)

Who is your favorite superhero?  Why?  Do you have a favorite old myth or legend?  Please write about it.

What real life moments give you joy?  I love when little kids hug me.  I like dinner when my teens talk to me.  I like to go hiking with my husband and walk hand-in-hand.

Potluck Party on Monday!

A potluck is a party that asks all the guests to bring food to share.  Many people have potlucks in the USA -- especially schools, churches, and neighborhood pools.  Please bring something yummy.  If you really don't have the time or money to bring food, don't worry.  Come anyway.

Please don't bring candles (no fire), expensive gifts, children, or alcoholic drinks.

Are you going to bring food?  What are you going to bring?

Doctor, Doctor...

Discussion with dangerous jobs today

Correcting to formal English....

gonna= is going to

A pretty face don't make no pretty heart =  A pretty face doesn't make a pretty heart.

I ain't that kind of guy =  I am not that kind of guy.

How often do you go to the doctor?  Why did you go to the doctor (when you went last time)?

Thank you Dad!!

PM STUDENTS- Look at and practice Ad abbreviations

(If you video your kids YELLING "I love you" at their dad, the video can go on the Jimmy Kimmel show...)

Describe an excellent dad.  What does he do?   What are his skills and duties?

What not to say when you get stopped by the police...

This song cannot be sung with good English grammar, but it can be written.  Can you write it?

What to say if you get stopped as a pedestrian

Good visual demonstration of good citizens pulling over for emergency vehicles.

Another fast song (that doesn't make much sense) to practice with now that we're near the end of the term...

If you had better do something, something bad will result if you don't do it.  

had better becomes better in street English.

Did you ever call the police?  Why?  Did they help you?

             

Flag Day

When I wrote the date on the board tonight, I realized that it was a holiday.  Sorry I didn't give you information in class...

Some civic organizations have ceremonies every June 14th.
The most flag-centered, well-known patriotic song is:

Do you have a holiday to celebrate the flag of your native country?  When is it?  What do people do?

Tired

When you feel energetic after feeling really tired, we call that "a second wind."  What gives you a second wind?  After sleep, what' are good ways to recover from stress and fatigue?
