Are you currently attending an English school? Have you attended one in the past? Think about what you liked and what you didn't like. What would you do differently if you owned the school? What would your English school look like if you had all of the money in the world? How would it operate? This school could open in the future, when technology and travel were even more advanced than they are today. Here are some things to think about:The teachersThe lessonsThe locationThe curriculumThe hoursThe extra curricular activitiesThe subject matterThe technologyThe class sizeThe class lengthThe foodThe rulesThe class demographicsThe feeThe appearanceYour task:1. Create a post on your own MyEC blog called "Writing Challenge #12: My Dream English School" (Thank you to last month's participants for starting this submission trend! It was a great idea to have the stories on your blogs instead of in the comments.). At the end of your post write this question for readers: "Would you go to my school? Why or why not?"2. Come back to this page and provide a link to your dream school post in the comment section. (Click on the icon that looks like a chain. Insert the url from your own blog post. Let me know if you have any problems.)3. Visit other "Dream School" posts by members and answer their question: Would you go to their school? Why or why not?My Example:My dream English school would be located in New Mexico. I have never been to New Mexico, but I hear it is an inspiring place for writers. There would be fresh coffee beans in each classroom (and a place to store chocolate). The teachers would be allowed to wear jeans to school. Each class would have a maximum of six students and we would all sit on bean bag chairs near a big window. Much of the classroom work would take place outside of the classroom, in local art galleries, cafes, and parks. School would start around ten in the morning and end around two. Students would take turns bringing in food from their native countries to share for lunch and snack time. Yum! We wouldn't use many textbooks, but we would do lots of reading, writing, and sharing together. Once a week we would Skype with another English class from a different part of the world.Would you come to my school? Why or why not?--Note: I will *Feature the most popular "My Dream School" post on MyEC at the end of the challenge. Write your hearts out!

I'm sorry for not notifying you of the challenge. I was having difficulty sorting out who wanted to receive the notices. I'm going to think of a solution! Thanks for checking in.
Yes, both of your corrections are right! Great!
You used to invite us to your writing challenges, now you no longer do that. I want you to keep this habit because you encourage us to write and read and correct our own mistakes.
As far as Hardi's sentence is concerned, I think the right form is: the worse the term result is, the more you have to pay.
Concerning blesie's sentence is this the correct form? : It does not matter to me where the school is located because I may look for one (that is) closer to where I live.
waiting for your reply.
Regards
I'm not much of a TV person, but I love the idea of a game show. Your response just proves that digital learners are here to stay.
Here is a funny school I just read about in Japan: http://www.tefl.net/alexcase/teaching/teaching-abroad/asia/teaching...
Great description! I'm surprised to hear a student suggesting uniforms (and for teachers too!). This is a great discussion topic that I often used in the past with my students. I guess if we get to design them ourselves it might be fun! I'm glad it doesn't cost too much to go to your school.
Here's a tip my grade six teacher always reminded me: We use "a lot" a lot. It is two words, not one.
BTW-please let me know how I should address you. Is it "Hai"? And how do you pronounce it? :)
Seems like, my English writing skill is already above of the one of my native language skill.. If I installed also Estonian spell checker to my PC, I could brag that they are equal.
" I don’t care where the school is located but I'd prefer one close to where I live."
On the other hand, if you "don't care" about the location than it's a bit strange to have a preference. So you could say "I don't mind where the school is located, though I'd prefer one close by.
