Hi Language Learners, Test your knowledge of second conditionals with today's quiz. Good luck and happy learning! Laura Teacher of fluency, understanding and Kids 😊

It’s a sunny day today. Lately, Dad’s been hitting the gym regularly, and Mom’s started picking up his habit. After dinner tonight, she decided to join him and even signed up for a membership. To be honest, she’s not even close to overweight—she just felt left out seeing the rest of us work out. Unfortunately, I can’t tag along with her because I usually squeeze in my workout between school and dinner, which is when she’s busy cooking. So my routine stays the same for now, but maybe I can join her on weekends instead!

Dates of stay I work for a school, so I have a flexible schedule and can volunteer anytime between the end of June and the beginning of August. I am also available in winter if you prefer.

thank you for your quick reply. I am more comfortable with teaching Mandarin Chinese because it’s my native language. I was invited to be a volunteer in Thailand before, so I always pay attention to charities in Asia. you want to help students build better futures for themselves and everything you do, whether it's English or Chinese course, is all geared towards to make a difference. I see volunteering as an opportunity to gain the experience I need, earn my certifications, and then transition into teaching. while volunteering, you will see my determination and dedication, and you will train me. I can volunteer to gain the skills necessary to enter the teaching profession. I work for a school, so I have a flexible schedule and can volunteer anytime between the end of June and the beginning of August for a minimum of 1-month as you required. I am also available in Winter if you prefer. please let me know if you need any further information. Warm regards,

Foods for breakfast are diverse in my country. There are very different in form, but something in common in term of culture. As a country has 1.4 billion population, 9.6 million square lilometres, products in different areas are totally different. For example, when people who live in Hongkong eat rice with seafood for breakfast, people live in Xinjiang eat fresh boiled lamb soup in ther morning. Both of the two kinds of breakfast are great, because the ways of cooking them are similar. In our culture, we seldom eat cool food as breakfast. Boiling, steaming ,frying, deep frying and grilling are the common ways of cooking food anywhere in my country. Especially drinking a cup of hot water from spring to winter. We once tended to use local products to make three meals every day, but everything changed since food delivery got smiple. People in Xinjiang can also eat fresh seafood which comes from the ocean 5000 kilometers away, meanwhile people live nearby the ocean grill fresh and tasty lamb from Xinjiang,too. Besides traditional foods, milk with bread is also an popular choice for breakfast for Chinese people, but don't forget to heat up the milk!
