Teachers Students they all need to put their feet up

I'm planning to start a series about a bloke who has a lot to say to you. I hope you'll see more of that than just plans or intentions and it'll be quite soon. Recently I've had loads of things to do and still my bedroom is in chaos. It seems it is not just you who need some rest... How about starting the countdown to holiday? Sounds good?

No matter what, listen to your teacher!

E71 - God Bless America?

I AM An American (I AM Poem) by Amanda Jones

I am an American who loves America
I wonder why peolpe hate America
I hear the eagle call for freedom
I see the flag waving in the wind
I want the soldiers to come home safe
I am an American who loves America

I pretend to fly like an eagle
I feel the eagles feather run through my fingers
I touch the white star on the flag
I worry that America will fall
I cry when a soldier dies
I am an American who love America

I understand why we fight for America
I say God bless America
I dream that America stays strong
I try to be all I can be
I am an American who loves America

 What does America mean to you? Is it only fast food restaurants and jeans? I hope not. So why do you think people love America? Why were there so many immigrants in the 19th century and why are people still arriving?

E51 - Pros and cons of technology

I believe that computers or mobile phones are one of the greatest inventions ever. Certainly, they make our life easier. For some people, particularly the young ones, they've been present in their life since they were born. It's obvious that they can't imagine having no possibility to surf on the Internet or send a text message to a friend. However, nowadays we're in a hurry and sometimes forget about simple pleasures. Are you really happy to be surrounded by those technology gadgets?

So are you enthusiastic about technology (computers and mobile phones)? Or are you against such inventions?
For or against? That's my question to you. Why? Please answer this one too and give some arguments.

You can also say how often you use the inventions.

E42 - Will we get fatter?

Have a look at the picture below. What can you see? What is happening in the picture? What title would you give it?

Now imagine that it is about our future. Having the picture predict what will happen to us and what our life will look like.

E32 - Our school

It's difficult to imagine life of a teenager without school. Young people spend most of their time there. They learn there, take tests, get stressed and also meet their peers. Students have a number of subjects a day, some of them they like, some of them they don't. They have to obey rules, but they have fun too. This is very general. We realize that a typical school day of a British teenager is different from the one of a Polish teenager.

Look through the information about British school on CLICK HERE and read about a day of a 13-year old British boy NOW SEE THIS ONE and write about school in Poland, something a British teenager would find interesting.

Subjects? Breaks? Eating at school? School clothes? You choose!

E22 - My favourite month

I love spring and I think my favourite month is May. In this month we can see a lot of changes, for example in weather, it is usually warm and sunny. The days are longer and I can go cycling or jogging or go for a walk with my friend! I can wear a skirt and sandals. People fall in love in spring too. Trees are green and birds sing beautifully. It's fantastic!
