If you feel cold in the university buildings, this is why. I don't understand how people can go through a doorway on campus and not close the door behind them.
Match the sentences containing English idioms of mood/emotion (in bold) with the adjectives above: 1.- When I received the concert tickets for Muse I was on cloud nine! 2.- When my sister opened her birthday card and a cheque fell out she was tickled pink. 3.- When my brother returned home from the pub late last night I could see that he was pie-eyed. 4.- When I was waiting to go on stage to perform in front of the whole school I had butterflies in my stomach. 5.- When I finished my twelve hour shift at the supermarket I was completely zonked out. 6.- When Alan Forrester looked me in the eye at registration this morning I went weak at the knees. 7.- When my brother kept playing the same Rihanna song over and over again at full volume I told him, "You're driving me up the wall!" 8.- When I went on the Big One rollercoaster at Blackpool Pleasure Beach my heart was in my mouth. 9.- When my brother wouldn't stop going on about problems with his love life I told him not to be such a moaning Minnie. 10.- When my dad came home from work and just slumped in his armchair without saying a word, I asked him, "Why the long face?"
my acting students pulled an all-nighter rehearsal and stumbled into class. Most of the class time was active enough but some students flagged at the end.
I have discovered the perfect summer job. In this job, I am part of an organization that gives me duties that are critical to its long- and short-term success. Supervisors give me responsibilities such as interacting directly with customers on a daily basis, and they fully integrate me into the professional hierarchy. To top it all off, I am learning legitimate skills that will help me develop professionally when I move into the workforce. This mystery job I speak of: camp counselor. These are only a few of the many potential benefits of being a camp counselor, and I offer them not only to praise the occupation, but also to offer a propositional alternative to the profession’s biggest competitor: internships.
For the most part, interns do work that is wholly unrelated to any sort of day-to-day task that full-time employees fulfill. Indeed, not only do most offices give interns mundane tasks that the aforementioned employees would never do, but they are also given tasks that will only be taken over by another intern. In short, interning in any office, regardless of the field, will likely mean you will be performing more secretarial duties than industry-specific ones.
Internship has always seemed a way for companies to gain free labourers. When my wife was a business student, she interned at a bank. The bank had her bowing at the customers as they arrived. What does that teach about banking?
As a camp counselor, I was directly responsible for the health, well-being and education of 10-16 children. It would be great training for people in education, social work and even medical majors.
This box is in my office and no one knows what could be in it. If it were full of exams, we might be told to 'throw it away after 2012', but why would we have to open it? Is this Pandora's box? Is there a bomb inside? What do you, my students, think?
I normally look terrible in photos. My smile is lopsided or I am squinting. Except for the silly hat, I am happy with this photo. I will take a picture of myself again as this is as perfect as I will ever manage!
If you are curious, I took this at the farm. I had left my hat home and needed the hankerchief to protect my neck from getting burned.
On Tuesday, I fell off a small tractor (경운기) and hurt my neck. I'm okay, don't worry! But, I don't want to carry many books around for a few days. Here are images from the textbook.
Students will make a blog and create 6 posts on the blog and comment on four other blogs.
Some students will already have a blog but be shy about sharing English content with their friends outside of class. They can use their current blog or make a new one specifically for English class.
A small selection of free blog sites: Blogger, wordpress.com, drupal, cyworld, naver blog...
Students must make at least six posts of 25 or more words. A post can be text, audio, video or something else. The student in each class who a) makes the most posts or b) has the largest number of comments on a post, will get a bonus. Three posts will be based on school work - wait for me to tell you what to write about. Three (or more) posts are your choice.
Students need to comment on the blogs of four other students. Comments do not have to be long, but must include details from the post. "I agree!" or "Good post" is not enough. Neither is "I think this problem is important".
"I think the problem of high tuition is important" is a good comment.
I will talk about linking and quoting in class. If most or all of a post is copied from another source, points will be deducted.
In week two and three (Sept 8-21), I will collect the names of the blogs and post links here on this blog.
