I �m so sorry, but i MUST send this. It �s because i got so many positive responses. I �m so glad you found the ideas useful. Those of you who haven �t seen it, please take a look. It �s for you and your students. My aim is to share it with you or give you food for thought, as i did to Douglas.

Again, feel free to PM and leave an email. Those of you who have already sent a PM, please leave your email addies (because you have forgotten  )
EDIT: Plz, bear with me, i�m very busy tonight doing a translation, so i will email the handout tomorrow.
I got a PM from a very dear member here who minded me saying "are your SS tired of ... " When i wrote it, i didn�t realise you couldn�t read my mind and see that i had on it those traditional and conservative teachers who still exist (esp.in state schools here in Serbia). I apologise to all the hard-working teachers, innovative and creative. Keep it up!
I look forward to reading your impressions once you have tried the ideas.
Thank you all.

Sorry for writing so late !
I have read your worksheet and I have to say : WELL DONE !
Yes, we sometimes tend to talk about rules and grammar but our students cannot speak well.
I am trying to change my way of teaching but it is really hard...
Some student even ask for grammar rules etc...
Well I think we should try to PRACTISE the speaking rather than explaining boring grammar...
Some time ago a student asked me: "What is the difference in such and so?"
and I had to answer: " I don �t know. There is only one word in Czech." Then I thought about it and I said: "We can say: �You are so beautiful �. But you can also continue �you are such a nice girl �."
See? I didn �t know the grammar rules, but I was able to USE such and so in correct sentence.
Well I think THIS SHOULD BE OUR GOAL: STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO SPEAK English !!!
I am going to try some wonderful tricks which Ivona has offered...
Thank you Ivona for sharing your innovative ideas with us !!!
