To Be fed up means to be a bit bored or depressed. today I talk about a student called Roberto who was "fed up learning". Here are some questions to think about after hearing the podcast: Intention - Monday In what way is Roberto’s Intention hindering him in learning? What kinds of Intentions would be more encouraging for Roberto? How could the power of imagination help Roberto in this case? Language - Tuesday Why was Roberto so apprehensive to talk in English? Who do you think Roberto sought out a Spanish speaking English Teacher? Why did the Teacher (me) choose not to speak in Spanish? Attitude - Wednesday Roberto booked a lesson but talked in Spanish, knowing he had no time to learn – why did he do that? How did Roberto’s background of managing others, affect his attitude to learning  and his attitude towards the teacher? He said that he simply “couldn’t retain anything”. Why do you think Roberto had this problem? Success - Thursday Roberto is clearly a very successful man, why has he not been successful in learning English? Roberto clearly understood everything I was saying – what does this tell us about Roberto and his English. How does Roberto’s idea of success hinder him in seeing how good his English is? Your Learning - Friday Can you relate to Roberto’s situation?  What advice would you give him? Why do you think the teacher said “Being here is a good start but unless you can free up time and are prepared to speak in English  there is nothing I can do”. I spoke in English during the lesson – How would that have helped Roberto? Exercises - Saturday Write out your intentions about learning English and why you chose to learn? What has helped or hindered you the most? Where is your English going? When was the last time you learnt some new words? Exercises - Sunday In what ways could we describe Roberto’s experience as painful both for him and the teacher. How do you stay on track?

What is the difference between the sentences below? 1. I would very appreciate it if you could help me. 2. I would really appreciate it if you could help me. 3.

If you are a native English speaker, could you please explain the difference of those sentences? I would appreciate it if you could help me.

One of my students asked me, "Teacher, how can you speak English so well?" That question had me thinking. Aside from the love for reading, I have been using the so called "power of imitation". Through watching films, vlogs and listening to podcasts of native speakers, I have adapted the way they speak. Learning the English language isn't only about the technicalities, it's immersing yourself in the language, in the culture, to continually enhance your skills. So if you want to immerse yourself in English conversations (may it be formal or informal discussions), hit me up! Let's talk about everything under the sun! :)

I have just returned from a five days vacation. You might have guessed what the vacation is celebrated for? Yes, it is the Labour Day! Everyone who has worked hard for a long time needs to rest on May 1st, but one day is not enough.So,in my country, we have a vacation lasts five days which allows us to plan a short trip with our family. It's amazing! This is the best time of the year, spring is almost over, early summer is not very hot, all the world is surrounded by colourful flowers and green trees. Though every scenic spot is full of people, everyone can find interesting things to enjoy. When I check my moments on wechat, most of my friends share their joys in different scenic spots. After relaxing for a few days, everyone comes back energetically and works even harder! So, vacation is an important part of our daily life. The next holiday will be come after 40 days, It's an unique holiday which features dragon boats and Zongzi. So,guess what?
