Learning English with a chicken

Now that the test is over, I have a fun way for you to practise. Do you know what all a chicken can do?
Click here to find out: subservient chicken
Just write the commands and watch the chicken carry them out. Wouldn't this be fun to do with a class? I can especially recommend fly!

Let's collect the different commands in the comments section, okay?

Have fun!!!

An invitation

I told you we can keep the blog alive by adding to it. You can play around and even change the template! Have a look around and experiment :-)
Sorry, Patricia, but you couldn't post because you were only a guest, but you're a real administrator now!

And if you decide to open your own blog, let us know - add it to the links.
You might also want to see Titus' excellent blog (also in the links now).

More to come!

Hi everyone
Last time I told you about a program to practice speaking. It's called Springdoo and is very easy to do. Having said that, I have to admit that you haven't heard one from me because I'm having problems sending them (my computer, not the program) - NOT making them, though!
But now I have one for you:

It's very simple to send it by e-mail, but as you can see, you can also send the link to people :-)

Greetings
Illya

Summary 16.01.07

Another week has gone by in the new year and once again I'll write the summary.
We looked at the writing tasks and compared the different 'bands'.
Important: include all contents points
use expected language
use appropriate format
WRITE:
Who is the reader
Register
Information required
Text type (format)
Edit

The passive was looked it.
Jokes got laughed at.
It was thought that jokes are hard to tell.
My hope is to bring the passive closer in all its forms.
