Leave me breathless

Writing is one of the weakest parts of teaching English as a foreign language. He listened to this song a few days ago on the radio and a decided to make ma students listen to it, read some about it and eventually answer a few questions.




Go on, go on, leave me breathless
Come on, yeah, yeah
The daylight's fading slowly
But time with you is standing still
I'm waiting for you only
The slightest touch and I feel weak
I cannot lie
From you I cannot hide
And I'm losing the will to try
Can't hide it (can't hide it)
Can't fight it (can't fight it)

So go on, go on, come on leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me, until I can't deny
This lovin' feeling
Make me long for you kiss, go on, go on
Yeah, come on

And if there's no tomorrow
And all we have is here and now
I'm happy just to have you
You're all the love I need somehow
It's like a dream
Although I'm not asleep
And I never want to wake up
Don't lose it (don't lose it)
Don't leave it (don't leave it)

So go on, go on, come on leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me, until I can't deny
This lovin' feeling
Make me long for you kiss, go on, go on
Yeah, come on

And I can't lie
From you I cannot hide
And I lost my will to try
Can't hide it (can't hide it)
Can't fight it (can't fight it)

So go on, go on, come on leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me, until I can't deny
This lovin' feeling
Make me long for you kiss
Go on, go on, come on leave me breathless
Go on, go on, come on leave me breathless
Go on, go on, come on leave me breathless
Go on, go on

An imaginary trip to London

My students have made a presentation about London. It is such a nice job that I thought It would be a good idea that everybody could have a look onto it. The idea was that every student was assigned a monument or a particular place in London. Each student prepared a slide with a short text on it.

Marking Written Exams

It was many years ago. I realised one of my teachers wrote strange abbreviations in my exams, but I could never find out what they meant.

When I deliver the exams I have corrected back to my students, I always have the sentation that they return them to me and they don't know why their answers are wrong. I sometimes think they complain about silly things.

If they stopped to analyse their answers and why they are wrong, very probably, they would have good reasons to complain.

What I did is, I created a number of abbreviations I could easily write as corrections and If agreed with my students, they would understand why they made mistakes.

Cheers for now.
