Every Saturday
Daniel and his family go to the beach. They live far from the beach,
but once a week the family gets into the car and Daniel's father drives
for hours until they arrive.
Daniel's parents love the beach. Daniel and his sister and brother love the beach. The family's dog loves the beach very much.
But it is a problem to go to the beach every week. Daniel's father gets tired from driving so many hours. The rest of the family gets tired from sitting in the car for so many hours. Daniel's mother says: "It's fun in the beach, but it takes too much time to get there and back!"
Daniel and his sister and brother are very sad. They want to go to the beach, but it is a problem. They try to go the swimming pool, but it is not the same thing.
One day Daniel's parents come to talk with the kids. They say: "We have a problem to go to the beach every week, but we love the beach, and you love the beach, and the dog loves the beach. So we have a solution. We need to live near the beach!"
Daniel and his sister and brother are very happy! Now they live near the beach. They go to the beach every day!

If
you have studied an ESL teaching course you were probably given a lot
of advice on how to teach English by tutors, and by well-meaning
friends, colleagues or strangers. Sometimes it's too much to take in so
here is what I have found useful.
The 10 most helpful "How to teach English" pieces of advice:
The 10 most helpful "How to teach English" pieces of advice:
1. You don't need to stick to a lesson plan.
This
may come as a shock, but things will happen in your classes that you
don't expect! Students will finish some activities too soon and take
longer on others. Some things will be easy for them, and others that
you expect them to understand quickly will be tougher. It is more
important to be flexible than stick rigidly to something that isn't
working.
2. You don't need to know all the answers.
Another
shock? I taught some classes where they asked me questions I couldn't
answer right then. I told them I would find out for them, and I did. As
long as you are honest, say you don't know, and then give the answers
later, that's fine.
3. Every student is different.
Now,
that may be obvious, but so many teachers forget this when they are
teaching and treat each student in the same way. That won't work. Get
to know your students, their learning styles and their strengths and
weaknesses. If possible, create a variety of tasks to suit different
students in the class.
4. You can't force students to learn, nor should you.
Teachers
often feel responsible if their students don't progress. You can give
them the tools for learning and inspire them to want to learn, but then
it becomes the individual student's responsibility to learn, not only
yours.
5. Have a personality.
Be yourself. Let
the students see you're a human being and not a teaching machine. Laugh
at yourself if you make mistakes. Bring humor into the classroom.
6. Be encouraging.
Error
correction is essential in the right circumstances, but if you correct
every mistake then you can easily destroy a student's confidence. Praise good work and never tell students they are stupid. Students who think they are stupid lose motivation.
7. Balance your lessons between different skills.
A
teacher who teaches 90% grammar is not helping the students.
Communication skills, reading, writing, and vocabulary building are all
as important as grammar. Possibly even more important than grammar!
8. Keep an emergency resources box.
Include
games, paper, colored pencils, extra worksheets, magazines etc. This
will be invaluable if you need to add a new activity into the lesson or
to extend something the students are working on.
9. Give homework.
This
is controversial! You can't force students to do homework, but if you
give them the choice then they will feel encouraged and they can take
responsibility for their learning. It is really important to mark the
homework if you do give it, and not leave it on your desk for weeks.
10. Have fun!
If you enjoy your lessons, then your students will too.
These are the pieces of advice that helped me learn how to teach English and I'm sure they will help you too!

HADRAT FATIMAH, was the only daughter of the Holy Prophet and
Hadrat khadijah. the circumstances of her birth are described by Hadrat khadijah as
follows: At the time of the birth of Hadrat Fatimah, I sent for my neighboring qurayshite
women to assist me. They flatly refused, saying that I had betrayed them by supporting
Muhammad. I was perturbed for a while, when , to my great surprise, I sighted four strange
tall women with halos around them , approaching me. Finding me dismayed, one of them
addressed me thus, " O Khadijah! I am Sarah, the mother of Ishaq, and the other three
are, Mary the mother of Christ, Asiyah the daughter of Muzahim, and Umm kulthum, the
sister of Moses. We have all been commanded by God to put our nursing knowledge at your
disposal." saying this, all of them sat around me and rendered the services of
midwifery till my daughter Fatimah was born. The motherly blessings and affection received
by Hadrat Fatimah were only for five years, after which Hadrat Khadijah left for her
heavenly home . Hereafter the Holy Prophet brought her up.http://www.hadith.net

I love my newspaper. It tells me the news
every day. The newspaper has page after page of news. I also get the
news from the radio and the TV. I also get the news from my friends. But
I like the newspaper the best. I can read the newspaper any time I
want. I can read any story I want. I can stop reading any story I want,
when I want. My newspaper has many sections. The first section is
national news. The next section is state and city news. The next section
is business news. The next section is sports. The last section is
entertainment. That’s a lot of news, every day. I have only one problem
with my newspaper. Most of the news is sad news or bad news. Why? There
is good news, too. People like good news. People like to read and hear
good news. I think my newspaper needs a section for good news. I think
good news should be the first section of my newspaper.
