SO IRREGULAR...

IRREGULAR VERBS LIST


It has always been a hard business for our students to learn the irregular verbs list. All of us may well remember the days when we had to do this. It was boring and disgusting in a certain sense. Today we want to leave here a bunch of activities to help them with this hard task.

EIGHT DAYS A WEEK...

What we want to say is that you are always in our minds and wish to have you here the sooner the better. It's for you, Charo...

TIME FOR CHANGES.

The new year is about to begin and changes are on sight. Old computers have been removed from the classrooms and empty flat tables demand for the portables the students got the last year. At the moment the new WIFI connection is not ready. Let us hope it will be at the beginning of the term. Let us hope...

Hi students,
Easter is about to come. To know something more about Easter in the English-speaking countries, read the following text and answer the questions.

Easter

Read the following story and answer the questions that follow.

Easter is celebrated every spring. It is always celebrated on a Sunday. Easter has its roots in many traditions gathered from many parts of the globe.

There are many symbols of Easter. German settlers to Pennsylvania brought with them the story of the Easter Bunny. Children believed that if they were good, the Easter Bunny would lay a nest of colored eggs. Because rabbits are known for producing a lot of young, especially in the springtime, they symbolize new life. As the Easter Bunny custom spread across the country, it led to other traditions such as Easter baskets and gift giving.

Birds lay a great number of colorful eggs in the spring which has brought about the use of Easter eggs, egg dyeing and egg hunts. Long ago, the egg was honored during many springtime festivals. Egg dyeing was popular in ancient times and continues to be popular today. To the Christian, the egg represents the rebirth of the earth and of man.

Ham is the traditional food of Easter. This type of pork is popular throughout the world. In many cultures, the pig is a symbol of prosperity.

As you have learned, Easter in America is a mixture of a lot of cultures, stories, and Christian beliefs. However, the reason for the celebration remains the same - to call to mind our crucified Jesus who rose from the dead to save us.
