We will see where tales originate and how they developed in Europe, Africa and Asia, and why reading tales can make children more intelligent, according to Einstein. We will learn the name of many tale characters in French, we will practise the stressed pronouns and review the vocabulary for feelings and moral values, and much more.

毎日飲むお茶

私が日常的に飲んでいるのは、紅茶でもコーヒーでもなく、ほうじ茶だ。ほうじ茶とは緑茶の茶葉（ちゃば）を焙（ほう）じて淹（い）れるお茶である。こだわりはなく、スーパーで買うお徳用（とくよう）のパックで十分満足できる。麦茶（むぎちゃ）やウーロン茶も美味しいと思うけど、ほうじ茶の独特の香（こう）ばしさと味わいが一番好き。

Describe an interesting neighbour - IELTS speaking part 2 and part 3






Describe an interesting neighbour


You should say-

Who this neighbour is
How long have you known him/her
What kind of person he/she is

And explain why you think this neighbour is interesting





“I’m extremely lucky to have a number of very good and helpful neighbours, but when it comes to an interesting neighbour, that would have to be Joe, who lives in the apartment right opposite mine.

I first had the pleasure of meeting Joe just over a year ago, very soon after I moved into the building, and thanked  my lucky stars the day I met him. It was during one of the Covid lockdowns, and it was impossible to go outside to buy groceries, which was making things quite difficult for me… being a foreigner.

I remember it was about 3 days into the lockdown when Joe knocked on my door and introduced himself to me. The first thing that caught my interest was his excellent use of English, and how he seemed to have a slight Australian accent. To cut a long story short, he told me how he guessed that being a foreigner I might need some help in buying food and other necessities during the lockdown, and had come to offer me some help, which really made my day.

After thanking him for his generous offer, I invited him into my apartment for a chat over a cup of coffee, and we spent the next few hours chatting and getting to know one another. He told me how he had spent a number of years living and travelling abroad, which explained his excellent level of English.

He had so many interesting stories of his travels, but the one that really stood out was his account of the time he travelled across the entire width of Australia, and lived to tell the tale.  As an avid traveller myself, I found all of this so fascinating and incredibly interesting, and we sat for hours swapping stories on our different adventures.


Thank you.”

A Viagem

🎧📖
Nuevamente platiqué con Margarita, una chava políglota. Charlamos de forma general sobre las dificultades que puede que tengan algunas personas al momento de aprender lenguas eslavas.



Mucho que decir

Las dificultades de aprender lenguas eslavas🎧📖

EL CAÑÓN DEL PERGIS CHIHUAHUA, MÉXICO.

Cañón del Pegüis Chihuahua, es uno de los cañones emblemáticos de la zona desértica del estado, una espectacular barranca y una zona desconocida para muchos escaladores. Cuenta con paredes de caliza de hasta 200 mts de altura, algunas de ellas teniendo base en el río Conchos, otras con repisas para su ascenso. El lugar aparte de contar con paredes enormes para ruta, cuenta también con una gran extensión de boulders a lo largo de todo el cañón. Se tiene que tomar una canoa, para poder escalar en ellos. También se permite practicar rafting de un mediano a un alto nivel de dificultad. En el lugar existe un mirador sobre la carretera, donde podrás observar una gran sección de los paredones que conforman el cañón, los cuales llegan a medir hasta 300 metros de alto.

 La mejor temporada para el Cañón del Pegüis es entre Abril hasta Octubre.
- No se recomienda ir en verano por el calor intenso y los mosquitos.
