The Fascinating History of Cemeteries: HALLOWEEN

Hi guys! HALLOWEEN is definitely one of the most followed celebrations in English-speaking countries as well as worldwide. Once you start studying English as a foreign language, you are introduced to this unique celebration to get to know the culture and traditions.

Many claim, using misleading information, that Halloween is about "witchcraft", "dark," and "evil," sickening and influencing kids negatively. However, this celebration is more about laughing at DEATH and SPOOKY things than the three devilish adjectives used above. Celebrating Halloween can be a great opportunity to teach historical events which may enrich students' general knowledge and cultural background.

Today, we will be learning about THE FASCINATING HISTORY OF CEMENTERIES. This video lesson will introduce you all to one of the least-spoken topics we are allowed to talk about at home or in some cultures. Let's make this celebration a new pretext to learn because KNOWLEDGE is as light as feathers to be carried in our wisdom backpacks.

See y'all in class!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

WHAT'S THE WEATHER LIKE?

Morning everyone! Today's lesson will be dealing with THE WEATHER. Talking about the weather may be the most frequent way to break the ice when meeting someone on the first school day or when you find yourself in a lift with a stranger. It is said that Brits are used to starting a conversation by talking about the weather because they are shy. I'm not certain yet, but it would be helpful to know how to describe the weather each day to start a chat.

Working on the Present Simple Tense: STARTERS

Hey everyone! Bet you are doing great since Christmas is almost coming right at your door. Today's layout will be dealing with the Present Simple Tense. Today, we will be recalling this tense through an adventurous child who is preparing a trip in secret. THE NIGHT TRAIN is going to be one of those stories that you would never know if they are just a dream or real. Let's find out what it is about.

To go to the story, you need to click on Mr. Book. Once you get to the worksheet, I will play the story for you. Pay attention and read carefully while you are listening to the narrator. If you find any new words, take down notes and ask your teacher.

If you have finished the worksheet from the story, you can keep it saved for further use. Remember that you could read this story several times to learn its vocabulary and grammar. Besides, you could practice pronunciation by reading aloud. Last but not least, you could share it with your classmates and friends. Spreading knowledge is and will always be the very best present of any day. See you in class, guys.

The use of WHILE and WHEN as connectors

Hi guys! I hope you all are doing great. Today's topic will be about the use of WHILE AND WHEN AS CONNECTORS in the Present and the Past. This time, we are going to go beyond the simple use of these tenses separately. We will practice expressing two actions happening at the same time, which will be very helpful as you need to describe situations and actions that occur simultaneously.

Let's start, as usual, with an introductory video that will help us understand quite easily how to use these two connectors in English. Here we go.
