The focus of the speaking activities is to help students notice and practice different strategies they can use to cope in such situations. In addition to pointing out such strategies, the each book gives lots and lots of pair and group work to practice each strategy being looked at and to help with overall fluency. The focus of the listening activities is to help students notice how English changes in connected speech and to help students hear language they already know but now cannot recognize. In other words, aspects of speaking and of listening that can be immediately applied.

ESL or EFL? What do ESL and EFL mean? ESL stands for English as a Second Language. EFL stands for English as a Foreign Language. ESL is used when people learn English in an English speaking country. EFL is used when people learn English in a non-English speaking country. Is this important? No much, if you are a student. But there are some important technical considerations for teachers.

For us is important learn ESL.

The course follows a traditional and transparent grammar syllabus while ensuring that a balance of all four skills is maintained in every lesson.

The last post

This quote talk about the the meaning of the life, we are humans and which it makes us human is we are differents, unique and irreproducible.
And all of us have to look inside of themself all the answers of the questions of the life and try to understand the life, our life and search your truth.


And when I finally I find the answers on me, then I can trust in myself, because if I don't who I'm or why I'm here, I don't know anything about me and I can't trust in my desicion.
And if I trust in my desicions other people can trust in me sense, and If all of us try to trust in other people.

Its a girly girls movie and I have to confess that I really fell in love with the gentleman Darcy Marck and hated the lesbian who was “flirting” with him in the first movie andIn the second she kissed Bridget., about her I felt a strange identification, and who doesn’t? All of us can have this crazy situations, I think all hate Daniel Cleaver this womanizer who try to move away Bridget from Mark. Like all the stories have a happy ending, with a happy couple this movie can’t be exception of the rules.

Fixing Mistakes II

If i had super powers, I would like to be able to teleport myself to any place that i want in this world, like in the movie 'Jumper'. I think it would be great to sit in your room and in the next minute stand on the top ot the Empire State Building. I also would like to turn back time, so I could fix some mistakes I did in the past or live some special moments again. Another power i would like to have is the ability of healing, so i could heal sick people and there would be less pain and diseases in the world.
