Hello, my dear students! Welcome to your world of learning English!

Hi, learners! I'm so glad to be your English teacher in this course and I promise you will find it very interesting to learn online from your home. The main purpose of this blog is to give you an opportunity to find fun readings which you can use to practice and learn through different texts and activities. Some of the activities will include answering some comprehension questions or even creating your discussions to express yourself, share and also defend your own points of view. Here you will have opportunities to say whatever you think but respecting other's opinions and rights; remember that you are not allowed to mock at your classmates and to say bad words to them. Every participation will be graded and will count according to our syllabus stated at the beginning of the class. So enjoy this free space and feel free to say what you think in the comments section. 
I wish you enjoy the most!
See you later!

Let's get started!

Hello my dear students!
Our first activity will consist in presenting yourselves! I want you to please write some information about yourselves and to answer some questions in the comments section. Once you do that, reply to three comments of your classmates and state whether if you agree or disagree with their opinions. 
So, first go to the comment section and present yourself, and don't forget including the following:
Full name, age, what do you like to do the most, what you don't like to do, and after giving a brief introduction of yourself answer the following questions: what would you like to do in the English class? Why do you think learning English is important? 
Don't forget to reply to your classmates, to say hi and to be polite with your answers. 
Deadline: March, 4th.
Have a great week and see you next class!

Birds and a baby

The baby was lying on her back. A blue bird flew in through the window. The blue bird had blue eyes. It sat on the baby's crib. The bird had a bell around its neck. The bell rang. The baby smiled. The baby reached for the bell. The bird shook its head. The bell fell off the bird's neck. It fell next to the baby. The baby picked up the bell. The baby rang the bell. Another blue bird flew in through the window. This blue bird also had blue eyes. The baby had brown eyes. The birds looked at the baby. The baby looked at the birds. The baby rang the bell again. Both birds flew away. The baby started to cry. His mama came into the room. The baby smiled. Mama saw the bell. She asked the baby where the bell came from. The baby pointed at the window.
