This’s an oldie but goodie... “if I hadn’t been born a girl, I would be a boy(?)” xx - mixed conditional eh? Ttul!

This speaking topic is courtesy of ManWritesC2020. I’m only using it as a discussion exercise for the students. You can also join (; some questions are as follows: 1. “what is the role and purpose of the news media in society today? Does it live up to these expectations? 2. “Is the news too depressing? Should they balance the good and bad news? How?”, etc.

Linguists have found the weirdest languages (or have they?) Either way, English is definitely one of them...

special episode on explanation of “question tags”. what do you say following “sit down!” and how to form the question tag after indefinite nouns like nobody, anything? listen to this podcast if you’ve got the same questions (; cheerio- C

Look back on one of the last episode we did together. “Seasons” C’mon we all love summer right? And where’s the hottest and coldest place you’ve been?

Are you still reciting all the early birds/night owls related vocabulary? Drop it! The ielts questions are WEIRD xD - too whimsical to prepare haha. This episode’s focusing on how to just wing it(?) But you can still find out what my new normal is and what I’d give up anything for. Take care! Xx
