Sentence-Diagramming

For you more visual gals and gents, sentence-diagramming is a fading art which brings a visual and geometric aspect to grammar.  Would any of you like to learn how to diagram sentences?  Do you think it would be a useful skill?

The Power of One…

Hello everyone!  Hope you had a great weekend, and are ready to grammar it up this week in English Class!

As you all may slowly be starting to find out, I’m quite obsessed with literature, writing, and anything that has to do with the manipulation of either.  I saw this Buzzfeed post, and found it astounding how much power one single sentence can hold.  This is a list of hard-to-believe facts that are summed up in just one single sentence.  It just goes to show, never underestimate the power of one!

Hi guys! I want to share this app with you, maybe some of you know, but if not, I have something to improve your English.

Elevate is an application that claims to be «a personal trainer for your brain». This app use little games that require a fast reaction from you, so you can improve some basic skills like writing, talk, read, math, etc.

This is not an app for learning english but for improve basic skills, however I really recommended you to improve your english.

The Story of Human Rights.

Everybody have Human rights, but not everybody have access to human rights,  the must of all students is disseminate the importance of the human rights, because in times of authority, of militarism, the people have a powerful weapon: the Human Rights.

Self Check: Answers to «Journal» (Present / Present Continuous)

Here are the answers in bold. Please comment if you have any questions. 

Today is the second day of my trek around Mount Annapurna. I am exhausted and my legs are shaking; I just hope I am able to complete the trek. My feet are really killing me and my toes are bleeding, but I still want to continue. 

Nepal is a fascinating country, but I have a great deal to learn. Everything is so different, and I am trying to adapt to the new way of life here. I am learning a bit of the language to make communication easier; unfortunately, I don’t learn foreign languages quickly. Although I don’t understand much yet. I believe that I am gradually improving.  

I am currently traveling with Liam, a student from Leed University in Englisd. He is a nice guy, but impatient. He always walks ahead of me and complains that I am too slow. I do my best to keep up with him, but he is younger and stronger than I am. Maybe, I am just feeling sorry for myself because I am getting old.  

Right now, Liam is sitting with the owner of the inn. They are discussing the difference between life in England and life in Nepal. I don’t know the real name of the owner, but everybody just calls him Tam. Tam speaks English very well and he is trying to teach Liam some words in Nepal. Every time Tam says a new words, Liam tries to repeat it.  

I am really enjoying my time in Nepal……

Remembering The King

Last Saturday, 47 years ago, many hearts stopped beating with the news that Elvis Presley was dead… I would like to share this video because this song is one of my Elvis’ top 5, and comment about: Did he affect somehow the music you like? What do you think about the response he got from people (especially women)? Have you ever felt like that with an artist or group?

Juggling. Would you like to try?

Hello!, Here’s a video about some women jugglers at an island near Fiji. I liked this video because, personally, I love juggling, and it has given me so many satisfactions that I would like to have everyone trying it… Juggling is also a really old activity and it is said that, by practicing it, you can improve your health among other benefits. What do you think? Hope you enjoy it.
