Posted by Joyce Fettermann on July 28, 2010
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

Clutch at straws

Posted by mahsa soltany on July 25, 2010
Clutch at strawsMeaningTry any route to get out of a desperate situation, no matter how unlikely it is to succeed.OriginIt is only since the mid-19th century that we have been clutching at straws. Prior to that, desperate people would 'catch at a straw'. That usage of 'catch' was commonly used in mediaeval England, by which was meant 'obtain/achieve'. For example, John Wycliffe used it in his 1382 translation of the Bible into English, in 1 Timothy 6:12:Stryve thou a good strif of feith, catche

by Bernard BackmanIn the end, we destroyed the heaven that was called Earth. The Earth had been beautiful until our spirit moved over it and destroyed all things.And we said...Let there be darkness... and there was darkness. And we liked the darkness; so we called the darkness, Security. And we divided ourselves into races and religions and classes of society. And there was no morning and no evening on the seventh day before the end.And we said...Let there be a strong government to control us in

Friends Misunderstanding

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

Friends through the Internet are from different countries, different cultures, and different backgrounds. So, misunderstanding among them is possible.What is the best way to get rid from this misunderstanding?For me, being hearer. When you listen to your friend, you will get him/her and you will understand him/her more. Even in the instant of misunderstanding, we should listen to each other, NOT ignore each other by giving our back as we don't care about others. We should respect our friends and

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

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
