This weekend I am going to be talking to teachers about the "Learning English Video Project". This is a set of 7 short films about learning English. Each film takes place in a different country. I am going to show teachers an example from the film "Thoughts from Brazil".

I think MyEC members will like "Thoughts from Brazil".  It features some teens who use sites such as Facebook or MySpace to practice English. 

Will you take part in an online video lesson with me? 

Feel free to do all 5 activities

When this began
I had nothing to say
And Id get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused
And Id let it all out to find
That im not the only person with these things in mind
Inside of me
When all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that Ive got left to feel
Nothing to loose
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own and the fault is my own

I wanna heal
I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long

Early this year, I was able to experience one of the most celebrated festivals in my country. It's the Kalibo Ati-Atihan Festival.

The Kalibo Ati-Atihan Festival is held every third week of January in the town of Kalibo, Aklan, Philippines. This is celebrated to honor the Holy Child Jesus Christ. Local people call him, "Sr. Sto. Nino". It is common for devotees and tourists to carry icons and replicas of the holy child. Just like what I'm holding on some of my photos.

"Though the tough cough and hiccough plough him through."

Though is pronounced as slow, tough as huff, and cough rhymes with off. Hiccough is pronounced as cup, plough as how, and through rhymes with you.

Hello! – Seeing the number, I was shocked, because I had had a troubled time with my product Head in the office when he promoted a 6 month internship girl who was a trainee of mine to a Producer. This is against the promotion policy and I'm a senior and experienced employee in my team, and it is not even the time of promotion, how can he promote an intern this way? Now I've to report to her every time, even though she doesn't know the work. It makes me feel like I am licking her sandal like a do

Here, the picture of an oil painting that I just completed in our painting class last week. Why do I ment

I never promised you a ray of light
I never promised there'd be sunshine everyday
I give you everything I have
The good the bad

Why do you put me on a pedestal?
I'm so up high that I can't see the ground below
So help me down, you've got it wrong
I don't belong there

[Chorus]
One thing is clear
I wear a halo
I wear a halo and you look at me
But standing from here
You wouldn't say so
You wouldn't say so if you were me

And I.. I just wanna love you
Oh oh oh I.. I just wanna love you

I always sa
