Some Ways to Learn English......

Sun, 05 Jun 2005 20:51:27 +0200

Boys and girls, did you visit the two sites that I introduced to you last time? Could you find your favourite story?

This time, I am not going to introduce any games or stories to you. I am going to share with you some ways to learn English.

Learning Engish can be fun! In fact, there are many ways to learn English. We don't need to read our English textbooks all the time. We can learn English from different activites. Here are some of them:

1) Visiting websites (For example, the websites that I have shown you. There are a lot of English games and stories.)

2) Listening to songs (You can search English songs from the websites or borrow tapes and CDs from the library.)

3) Watching TV (You can watch "The Sesame Street" or some other English cartoons that you like.)

4) Visiting the supermarket (You can learn new words from the signs and the labels.)

I think these activities are quite good and helpful. I hope you can try one or two and tell me your experience. Also, don't forget to share with us YOUR WAY to learn English. Waiting for you!

Boys and girls, did you try those English games that I introduced to you last time? Did you enjoy them? What did you think about them?

This time, I would like to introduce two other websites to you. From these two websites, you can read or even listen to many English stories.
Most of them are funny and interesting.

The first site is the Story Corner at the Sesame Street, http://www.sesameworkshop.org/sesamestreet/ , there you can find stories about Elmo. My favourite story is "The Lemonade Stand".You can learn how to make a lemonade from this story!

The second one is the Story Circle at the Cbeebies, http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/storycircle/ , from this site, you can find different kinds of stories: animal stories, cbeebies stories, fairy tales, bedtime stories and world stories. My favourite story is an animal story called "Blue Cow Goes to the Olympic Games". It just makes me laugh! I am sure you can also find a story that you like.

I guess you all love stories, aren't you? Go to these sites now. Find out your favourite story and share with us!

From these two games, you can learn the name of the food items of the two restaurants in English. You can also find out the calories and nutritional value of a meal in the two restarurants.

Who Am I?

Thu, 26 May 2005 11:09:08 +0200

Hello boys and girls! Welcome to my English World!

I guess you do not know who I am, so let me introduce myself. My name is Miss Or. I come from Hong Kong. I am a prospective primary English teacher studying in the Hong Kong Institute of Education. English is my major field of study, but I have also taken General Studies as a minor subject.These are my education background in brief.

Now, let me share my personal interests with all of you. I have quite a number of hobbies. Some of them are cooking, eating, reading, shopping and swimming. But apart from these hobbies, I have another special one that I must share with you. It is studying English! Surprise? In fact, I am an English lover! I love studying English. Whenever I have free time, I will surf around the net to explore different English websites (especially the ones for kids!). I will also read English books. My favoruites are grammar books and Roal Dahl's works.

Through this blog, I hope I can know more about you. Besides, I would like to share my discoveries about English with you too. I am really looking forward to hearing from each of you. Come and join me now!
