Free photo slideshow customized with Smilebox

We listened to Marx's  G7's reports of water resource of German islands this afternoon.  My G6 were very excited and concentrated on the screen trying to figure out what they had heard from the other side of the world.  When Marx asked my students where our water supply came from.  They said: "Rain and River"! 

Thanks to Class 7b and their wonderful teacher Marx.  You did great jobs on the PPT and oral presentation.  See you soon!

Fun with Snow and Hot tea from Russia

It is a precious and full of fun lesson from our Russian classpals. They introduced snow, how they had fun making snowmen and how they played with snow during this white season. They also demostrated us the hot tea tradition in Russia. The silver tea kettle "samovar" caught our eyes and we found it very beautiful and very special. What a great lesson from Russia!!! Thanks, kids! You have done a great job!

Skype with Daria's Class

Today our skype guest was Lin-lin from Taiwan. She is an English teacher at elementary school. She can speak Chinese, Taiwanese, English and a little Spanish. Her hobby is swimming, reading novels and listening to the radio. She told us that in Taiwan it only snows in the mountains. Lin-lin has never been to Russia, but she would like to visit Saint-Petersburg, and Ulyanovsk, too.

Lin-lin, nice to meet you and hope to talk to you again soon!

We have friends from Indonesia

Happy to meet friends in Russia

Ziliya's Class and 5-4, Linlin's Class met on Feb. 21st!

It is so exciting and we had a lot of fun.  The voice transmission was kind of slow and unclear.  Maybe next time I should downsize the class (divided into small groups, and every meeting send only one group for focussing on the listening and speaking part) in order to improve the quality of interaction.  Thanks to the lovely pupils from Russia and especially to their dedicated English teacher, Ziliya.

Skype with Ziliya's class, Russia

Thanks to Ziliya and her class!  By means of the meeting, my students are willing to study English harder in the future although they have only 80-minute English class each week.  Now they know English is a need for them to communicate with friends of other nations.  What an exciting experience! 

Our Guest from Cambodia

G6 speaking English with Venerable Piseth
In Taiwan, most primary school students learn English from G3, 80 minutes a week. There are fat chances to speak English in a real scene in daily lives for them. Thanks to Venerable Piseth who is willing to help out and does not mind to repeat his answers again and again. He has been very patient and kind to my students through all the meeting. Some of my students who are always passive in learning English "waked" up in the class this time. I am very grateful to have such a meaningful conversation.
