Dream Within a Dream

Posted by Snow on August 5, 2010

I went to see Inception last weekend. It was shockingly amazing! After the movie, I just kept wondering did I really in the reality or in a dream. The movie is about how to enter one's deepist dream which is ubconsciouosness, and plant a new memory so that the subject person will change his/her mind of doing things.I guess we all have the same experience that sometimes we can sense that we are in a dream while dreaming. I had the experience like I suddently realize that I was in a dream when cha

The Flowers-Robert Louis StevensonALL the names I know from nurse:Gardener’s garters, Shepherd’s purse,Bachelor’s buttons, Lady’s smock,And the Lady Hollyhock.Fairy places, fairy things,Fairy woods where the wild bee wings,Tiny trees for tiny dames—These must all be fairy names!Tiny woods below whose boughsShady fairies weave a house;Tiny tree-tops, rose or thyme,Where the braver fairies climb!Fair are grown-up people’s trees,But the fairest woods are these;Where if I were not so tall,I should l

Foreign LandsBy Robert Louis Stevenson (1885)UP into the cherry treeWho should climb but little me?I held the trunk with both my handsAnd looked abroad on foreign lands.I saw the next door garden lie,Adorned with flowers, before my eye,And many pleasant places moreThat I had never seen before.If I could find a higher treeFarther and farther I should see,To where the grown-up river slipsInto the sea among the ships.To where the roads on either handLead onward into fairy land,Where all the chil

Ten Year-old Girl

Posted by Snow on July 31, 2010

I went to tutoring Chinese on Friday afternoon as usual. My student was a 10-year old little girl. Her mother is Chinese, but her father is American. Althourh she is half Chinese, she can only understand a little Chinese, not to mention speaking or writing in Chinese. I have been teaching her once a week for almost a month. She is one of those sweet and well-behaved student, but would easily lose her attention while learning. Besides Chinese, she is also studying French, piano, clarinet and sing

What is the difference?

Posted by Mr. Bob on July 31, 2010

All of us who have studied languages discover words and phrases with more than one meaning. These may have different meanings for native speakers in a single place or have a meaning in one place that is different from the meaning in another. These differences can be difficult and sometimes embarrassing for learners of the new language.

I am a native English speaker and have been surprised in my own language when visiting other English speaking countries. Many years ago my wife used a phrasal ve

This summer vacation, I didn't go back home, instead, I stayed in the city where my college lies. I'll take part in an activity named China International Coal & Energy New Industry Expo. I will be a volunteer in this Expo, which invites hundreds of corporations to come. I'm very proud of being part of this Expo, and I hope to serve for this program. Meanwhile, I think this is a great chance for me to improve my spoken-English.During my stay in Taiyuan, I live with 3 girls coming from my college.

The 12th Braz-TESOL National Convention was held in São Paulo, at Escola Beit Yacov. Brilliant educators were there to talk to us teachers of English who loved the talks, workshops and mini courses we attended.I saw many good things that I will adapt to my classes, but something which is really good is that I noticed one more time I'm in the right path, doing what I have done as a teacher.One of the workshops I apreciated a lot was with Jane Godwin Coury. She took great tips to work speaking and

Your Example Is The One Who You Admire

Posted by Sharifa Bahri (SkoonAlBahr) on July 24, 2010

Everyone has his/her own example. That person may be your mother, father, sister, brother, teacher, or even your friend. Your example is the one who inspires you to achieve your goal. Your example is the supportive one who urges you on. Your example is the one who you admire. You admire how that person behaves. You admire how that person is successful. You admire the way that person copes with life. You admire how that person gets the better of all the obstacles. You admire how that person perfo

“The more you talk, the better you get. It depends on you!”Wanting to share with us a little bit of what is happening in the English Language learning in Brazil, Daniel Emerson goes to São Paulo, which is a cultural center, and interviews teachers and students to know how young learners and teenagers can be helped to communicate better in English. “Thoughts from Brazil” is a great video and shows the best way kids can learn: playing. This is how they communicate in a fun and free way and get the
