Practice English this Summer

Here are some links to materials you can study over the summer:

Health - beginning. Scroll down to see the PDFs and the audio files.

Health - intermediate. Scroll down to see the PDFs and the audio files.

About Canada. This book is divided into levels and topics.

For listening practice, I suggest you watch English with Jennifer.

Don't forget to chat with Canadians wherever you go. Remember our gambits? You can talk about the weather, compliment someone on a beautiful dog or beautiful child, or ask the fishermen and women at the riverfront if they can share their catch.

Enjoy your summer!

Jackson Park in Lovely Weather

Hello, students!
Those who did not have appointments today came out to Jackson Park for a picnic and camaraderie. We saw flowers, Robins, dragonflies and park workers fixing everything up for the summer. Nahla was kind enough to bring enough kaleicha for everyone, while Manlin brought bananas. The statue of Rabbie Burns was hard to access due to construction, as were the washrooms. But we found some bleachers to sit on. Nahlah played badminton. She has a lot of energy.

Movie Choices

Our picnic is Tuesday, June 11. Some students will go on the city bus with Kelly just after 9:00, meeting at the corner of Park and Ouellette. Other students will meet us in Jackson Park by the Tecumseh Road entrance. See you!

You've asked me for a movie. My NFB choices have not gone over that well. Nabil suggested Some Like It Hot with Marilyn Monroe. It is 2 hours and a minute. We would have to start it right at 9:00 and give up a few minutes of our break or run a few minutes over at the end of class.


Singing in the Rain is only 1 hour and 43 minutes.

I've emailed my mom for more ideas. She suggested Gigi, but it's too long.

What about The King's Speech? It's just under two hours, very tight but do-able.
