Hi first of all,thanks for reminding me about some things that sometimes iam in hurry to add,to read or even to notice but i do not not mean to insult others by using or adding things which are really unacceptable.
Same here, dealing with adults I usually use madia, chiefly video or audio, I like to work with pictures a lot. One more thing - pair work is just crucial for learning a language for you got all the students involved at the same time.
Hey there, Tanya! Actually I'm your colleague since I majored English in the varsity. I used to work in the university now I'm in private education sphere. Nice to meet you!
Last comment on weir, I promise! But this is funny, ha ha. I'm reading a book about Lake Tahoe, a large lake near where I live. In one of the stories they talk about "Spirit Cave Man", a 9400 year old mummy that was found near the lake in 1940. Imagine my surprise that they talked about when examining the mummy, they found very small fish inside his intestines..."so small that woven nets or weirs must have been used to trap them." Ha!
...a (small) dam. ...different kinds...for different purposes, and the word is very much alive and kicking in both usages – at least in the hydropower world and the fisheries world.
1. A fish trap – a small ‘fence’ built across a river which lets water through, but not fish (mesh or slats too small for fish to pass). Another usage – test stolen from Wikipedia cause its faster http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weir - lots of good pics:
A weir (pronounced /ˈwɪər/) is a small overflow dam used to alter the flow characteristics of a river or stream. In most cases weirs take the form of a barrier across the river that causes water to pool behind the structure (not unlike a dam), but allows water to flow over the top. Weirs are commonly used to alter the flow regime of the river, prevent flooding, measure discharge and to help render a river navigable.

hi Tanya thanks for your massage . As you said it really made me smile. Beauty is a God given gift so whenever you have it should be praise.
Have a wonderful day.
