1. Relax and enjoy speaking

When you use English,

dont

worry

about

making

mistakes. The

chances are you will

always make smallmistakes. You can

come to the

conversation club. You will enjoy

speaking about movies and

interesting topics.

2. Learn about how you learn

Are you a visual learner? If

you are a visual learner, youcan link language to pictures

and images. Watch films with

subtitles, try to visualize

yourself in imaginary situations

speaking English, fix words with

pictures in your mind. If you have

an auditory style, you have a

good ear for language and

should listen to as much music as

possible and watch movies inEnglish.

3. Learn memory

techniques

There are plenty of

books on how to

improve your

memory. It is a skill

that the successfullearners I know take

very seriously.

6. Learn Vocabulary

systematically

Remember that

learning English is

not just about

learninggrammar. When

we speak, we express most of our

ideas through our choice of

vocabulary, through collocations

and fixed expressions. Think

carefully about how you organize

your notebook, dont just write a

long list of new words! Try to use

them every day with yourclassmates either in or outside the

classroom. When you realize you

will have learned a lot of words.

TIPS FOR IMPROVING ENGLISH

TIPS FOR LISTENING

Becoming an efficient and effectilistener isnt easy but once you start to make progress you

find that you get access to new information.

In recent studies by Dr. Ralph Nichols, he

found that almost 40% of the day is spend

on listening to others.

What is surprising is that the efficiency of

listening to what we hear is only around 25%.

Here are some tips that will

put you on the road to better

listening:

1. Listen something that you

like such as movies, songs,reality shows, etc.)

2. Listen to your CDs, DVDsfrom the book every day.

3. Dont think you will

understand everything, justget the main idea.

4. Take notes, dont be afraid

to do this.

5. Pay attention topeoples

mouth that will help youunderstand more.

6- Practice with your peers,

Remember listening must be

practiced every single day.

Art is everywhere. Painting, drawing, singing dancing, writing, cooking etc.At t

beginning was only the art of Muses but nowadays Music actually has the pow

to influence the way we dress, think, speak and live our lives.

Music changes with time and even the definition of music varies according

culture and social context. There is also a strong connection between music and mathematics.To ma

people, in many cultures, music is an important part of their lives. Music is the key to creativity. Mus

improves our minds and that makes us creative.The greatest minds and thinkers like Albert Einste

Mozart, and Frank Lloyd Wright all had something in common; they were constantly exploring th

imagination and creativity.

Music is good for education. It is a great tool for memorization. If more teachers get used to sing songs

teach something in their classes, kids would retain that

information much quicker.

Music can lead us on an extended journey where the time

stops and you can feel any kind of emotions like sadness,

happiness or excitement. All these things deal with the

human senses and there is a certain type of connection that

comes when you enjoy making music with a group of people

that understands you.

The priestsaid then: "You will wander

Caring for the environment is a commitment we must all take to

leave a better future for our next generations. Many people when

they think about caring for the environment imagine very

complicated and difficult task to perform, but it isnt, the truth is

that it is very simple and ourselves we can start doing some of these

things, even in our house:

Turn off electrical appliances you arent using.

Opt for paper bags and cloth bags instead of plastic.

Make the most of the sunlight so you can avoid the electric lights.

Dont waste water to bathe, brush your teeth, and wash your car and watering

plants.

Avoid traveling by car, walking or cycling besides caring for the environment and

the ozone layer, will help you be healthier.

Plant a tree; since trees provide oxygen, also they eliminate CO2 emissions,

minimizing the effects of global warming.

Recycle and reuse as much as possible, this you contribute to generate less waste. Dont throw waste into the street or anywhere else.

Share with your family and friends what you just read, for that they also become aware,

because remember, we only have one planet, we must take care of it!

THE JAGUARES

It has been almost seven-and-a-half months since Texans linebackerWilliamAlexandertore the ligaments in his left knee on October 8

that the mustang it wont

be long now before he returns to the field.My return is right around the corner, so thats a good feeling Alexander said on

Monday after the Jaguares first practice of OTAs. I can definitely tell you Ill beready for the first game of the season, and Im pretty sure Ill be ready for the firstpractice come training camp.

Alexander arrives at Cafetaln Stadium for rehab daily at 6:30 a.m., feverishlyworking to come back stronger than he was before The Jaguars defensive captainand 2011 MVP rehabbed on a side field for part of Mondays practice and watchedthe rest of it with his teammates, wearing his number 26 without a helmet as hetalked with teammates and coaches and observed the action.

Alexander will not return to practice until training camp in July, but the 2009 LCFADefensive Rookie of the Year said he has been running, squatting, jumping and

doing position drills in his rehab.I think Im doing pretty much everything I can do, Alexander said. I feel great. Ithink its just that last little bit of strength that I need to get, and then Ill be good.

There havent been any setbacks. Its going great. Im starting to feel like me again,and thats a hell of a feeling considering where I was and how hard it was justsome mornings to even get up and walk. Its just night and day, and its in the past.Its full throttle now, and Im going to go as hard as I can until Im back.
