Another interesting grammar point :)

It's a bit late in terms of our test, but take a look here to see an interesting example of how confusing you can be to your reader if you misuse pronouns.

Useful grammar advice to listen to

In my "Feeds" list in the blogroll (bottom right) you can find a link to the podcast site Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing. This week she's talking about an issue many of my students struggle with. Give her a chance to help you remember the rule by clicking the title of this post. You may search her archive for other grammar issues you have doubts about.
Enjoy! :)

Graduation

My best wishes to everyone celebrating their graduation today. I hope that you are satisfied with how you spent your time with us, and that you will take lots of good KJO moments with you. It's been fun to be your teacher, that's for sure. :)
GOOD LUCK!

My special request

Please, do place comments on other people's blogs. Look at those written by students from other groups - I'm sure you will find at least some of them really interesting. Perhaps you will want to get to know their authors better? Only with comments do blogs make sense, don't you think? And if you comment more extensively, others will visit your blog and comment on it, too. I know you are busy and all, but it's not that you need hours to do that, is it?

Memories

Hi! I hope you are having a good time and are enjoying the longest weekend in history (not for all, though :/). Since most of you are probably at home with your families, I would like to give you a small home-based task:

Please dig into your family photo archives, and find a picture of yourself as a child. Choose one in which we can have any chance of recognizing you, so not as a baby, but a little bit later. If you can, scan it and post it on your blog, together with some words of commentary about that time in your life. If you have no way of making a scan, bring the photo(s) to our nearest IT class and we'll scan it here. I hope this is going to be fun. If you want to see me as a little girl, click here. :)
