Pronunciation Poem

Here is a fun poem about English pronunciation
I think it is an enjoyable way of teaching pronunciation.

I take it you already know
Of tough and bough and cough and dough?
Others may stumble, but not you
On hiccough, thorough, slough, and through.
Well don't! And now you wish, perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps.
Beware of heard, a dreadful word
That looks like beard but sounds like bird.
And dead: it's said like bed, not bead,
For goodness sake don't call it deed!
Watch out for meat and great and threat
(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt).
A moth is not a moth as in mother
Nor both as in bother, nor broth as in brother,
And here is not a match for there,
Nor dear and fear, for bear and pear.
And then there's dose and rose and lose--
Just look them up--and goose and choose
And cork and work and card and ward
And font and front and word and sword
And do and go, then thwart and cart,
Come, come! I've hardly made a start.
A dreadful Language? Why man alive!
I learned to talk it when I was five.
And yet to write it, the more I tried,
I hadn't learned it at fifty-five.

What would the walls say?

I watched the video on our class blog and I found it very interesting.
I want to talk about the future, 2038. I think that it will be very different for us from today's teaching. Technology will have surrounded all our life and we have to follow it. Anyway, this blog issue is an example for this. These are the first steps for tomorrow's education. I cannot even imagine what kind of changes will happen in the future.
What about you?

I really like this song. I am waiting for your comments.
It is very enjoyable for young learners.

Our teaching.

I want to ask you about something.
In our class, when we enter the classroom before the teacher, students think that we will teach and become very happy. I asked one of them about this and she said "You are very good teachers. Beacuse of that we become happy." But I don't think so. What do you think about this?

The Lonely Student in the Class

Hi everyone,
I want to share a point in our class. There is a student in the class who never participates in the lessons, does homework and listen to the lesson. I asked our mentor teacher about him and she said that he is so uninterested in the lessons and his parent do not deal with him. In addition, the teacher does not try to make him participate, either. I do not know what should she do. Maybe you can help us about him. I look for your suggestions.

5 things I don't want you to know:))

These confessions will remain as a secret among us and this message will delete itself in five minutes.

1.I cannot gain weights no matter how much I eat.

2.I like reading Agatha Christie's books very much. (So, be careful!)

3.I never went to the famous restaurant "Çatı", but I think of doing it before graduation.

4.I realized that I am good at Maths. But I realized this in this year :(

5.I died once and came back to life :)) But it was very painful. Don't try at home :))

My First Impression

In my first day at school I realized that this experience will be a good chance for my career. The vice principal gave us the necessary information about the rules and then we started to arrange the timetables.
At first I was going for two days but then it changed and now I am going for three days. It is a bit hard for me but now I feel like I am teacher.
My first impression about the school was very optimistic. I really appreciate Mrs. Handan. She did her best to arrange our timetables.
In my first day in the 5th class, I was really amazed. Those little children were talking English very well. I remembered my first English lesson. I took it from my brother who is one year older than me. When he went to the secondary school for the first time he took his first English course then he taught me at home. I was really happy about learning a foreign language and I always have been so.
Now the time has passed quickly and I will teach English after this term. I could have never guessed this.

I am waiting for your comments.

Welcome

Hi, friends.
