I can...

(The long instrumental--no words part--goes from 1:20-2:23)

We say "go the distance" to mean complete the race or do everything you need to do to meet your goal.  I've seen many students get fluent in English.  If that's your goal, we can definitely go the distance together.

Using "can"

What can you do best?  Can you take a video or picture and bring it to class or send it (or a link to it) to me at LJScheible@fcps.edu?

Can you write about doing something really well in the comments?

Beautiful in White

Write about a wedding you attended.  Is it traditional for a bride to wear white in your former country?  

Beautiful

What makes someone beautiful?  Can you describe a beautiful person?  Who is the most handsome actor or singer?  Who is the most beautiful actress or singer?  Who is the most beautiful person in history?  Is beauty only skin deep or do you think pretty is as pretty does?

Is there one love?

Are you married or single?   Do you think each person has one chance at a good partner or good relationship?  How can single people find good relationships?  How can married people keep their relationships good?

Love reign (rain?) over me

My husband loves "Love Reign O'er Me."  It has some fast parts and long instrumentals, but I think you'll be OK with most of it.

Do you like the rain?  Do you sing, dance, or walk in the rain?  Do you stay dry inside?  Tell me about a rainy day.
