Happy Earth Day!

Podcast from Low Intermediate

Calendar of events from "Washington Parent"

Did you celebrate earth day today?  What did you do?  When I was an elementary school student in Colorado, we often planted trees and picked up litter to recycle on Earth Day.  Do you have a garden?  Even when I lived in a small apartment, I had plants on the  balcony.  My family always grows some plants.  Do you like to talk about saving the earth?  Is pollution or a bad idea to fight pollution a problem in your country?

Henry V

Last night and today, my son performed in Shakespeare's "Henry V."  There's a scene of a French Princess trying to learn English that made me think of you.

What TV shows help you learn English?

Welcome Low Intermediate Students!

Welcome!  It's nice to meet you!

This next video is very fast, but I want you to hear how we say "meet you" like "meetcha."

My name is Laurie.  I usually wear soft, comfortable clothes.  I have medium-length light brown hair, blue eyes, and glasses.  I rarely wear a lot of jewelry.  I am married to a sweet hard-working man.  I have five children.  I teach at Pimmit in the morning and Plum in the evenings.  I love to read.  I love to teach English.

Easy Practice: "What do you look like" song


Please tell me about yourself.

Getting to Know each other

Nice to meet you all.  We have such a nice class!  I loved how many of you respectfully helped the beginning student who tried out our class.

Did you get to know your classmates when you did the BINGO?  Was the BINGO hard or easy?  Did you understand when to start a question with "Do" and when to start with "Did?"  If you aren't sure, check here.

Who loves to play soccer?  Who's a sports fan?  Do you like Barcelona?  Who hates to watch sports on TV?  Who likes to cook?  What do they like to cook?   Who loves music?  What do you listen to?  Who likes to talk about his or her family?  Do you like to travel?  Where are the best places to go?

Sacrifice

Lyric videos are hard for me to watch sometimes because I want to correct punctuation, spelling, and grammar.  It's unusual to find a well-done lyric video.  I want to add an "s."  I want to add several apostrophes (')  Can you find the words that need the "s"  or apostrophes?

Wonderful

What are the beautiful and wonderful things in your life?

Need You Now

Tell me about a friend who usually understands you.

Give you all of me...

Are you married?  If yes, tell me about meeting your husband or your wife.

If no, tell me about an activity that you like so much that you give it your all.

Hotel California

Do you like California?  Did you ever go there?  Where did you go?  What did you do?  

Do you have any habits that are hard to change?

Try

Tell me about something that you try to do.

Thank you...

What makes you feel grateful?
