English Speaking Day was fun.  The English Cafe at lunch was buzzing with English conversation – and lots of questions to complete the bingo cards.  This was a good exercise in asking questions and finding out some interesting facts about some teachers.   I do wonder where some teachers keep all those shoes.  The Aladdin production by Chunky Onion in the afternoon was a riot – especially the scene with select staff dancing on stage.  To finish the day, there was a short but very active drama workshop.

Remember next Wednesday is English Speaking Day!  As the banner says – “We can do that!”  I hear some English spoken around the school.  Let’s try and speak more next week.  Have fun with the bingo game.

After reviewing a transcript of one discussion, we agreed that there are many good ideas that are getting a little lost because of some problems with grammar and vocabulary.   You need to spend at least 15 minutes every day reading aloud and watching English News – or something like BTN/BBC.  Your knowledge of collocations, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and intonation will all improve.
