Hope everybody had an amazing new year celebrations.But for few people the first day of the 'Happy new year' turned out to be different.

I went to home with a lot of excitement and joy to celebrate the new year day with my family, but 1st Jan turned out to be a grieving day for us. On 1st Jan early morning(I was half asleep) I overheard my father talking to my brother about my relative,(name : chandu, my Brother-in-law.Elder brother of my brother's wife) that he died in a car accident.

Do Less and Accomplish More

My diary

January 7th 2011

Friday

 

Which one improvement can I make to impact my English studies the most? My answer is writing and my reasons come as follows:

1- Almost most universities and companies in Canada test writing ability. It is not important if you have PhD or you are a doctor, an engineer, a lawyer, etc, you must pass the writing test relatively well.

 

 2-Writing is a good way to review all new vocabularies. To write well, I have to know many vocabularies. Making a list of all new words a

Mnemonics

 

Do you know what the word  mnemonic stands for?

I wasn't aware of the meaning of it either,as in my language it isn't a habit to memorize things in mnemonics.

Mnemonic is a learning technique that aids memory.

They can aid memorisation of very many types of information.

Thanks to Mr.Joseph's email,that I got today about the colours of the rainbow,I know about this memorisation helping device already.

He mentioned that we can remark the colours of the rainbow with the aid of a mnemonic,-hope he won't

My Diary,
January 6th 2011
Thursday

I was always angry at people who give up easily criticizing them for not being so strong to achieve what they long for. Now, I think I became like those whom I criticized before. However, I would like to be stronger this year not being sorry for my past mistakes and not being worried for future. I would like to do my best at this moment to achieve my goals. As such, I have decided to write either a blog or a paragraph or even a sentence every day for about 15 m

Adopt a Young Learner

2346102459?profile=originalI was so excited to see that an amazing new teacher joined MyEC today. Greta Sandler inspired me from the moment I read a guest blog post she wrote called Love them Before you Know them. Some people are just meant to be teachers and she is one of them. Just look at the quotes on her profile and you will see that she is one of the world's "greats". Her blog About a Teacher is very inspiring. Why? She shares real life stories.

 

Do you think blogging is difficult? Greta blogs with her young learners
