Welcome me back!! And a big thank you to Hannie!!
|
Okay,
so after what has seemed like a really long break, finally I am back on ESL printables!! This summer I will be language teaching again, so I will be breaking out my ESL folder and uploading my new worksheets again!!
I �m delighted to be back teaching ESL as it is so much fun!!
Can I also just say that for those of you who may not know, there is an ESL board game on the market, called Word Up. I bought it, but haven�t opened it yet, so I �m not sure how good it is, but it is suitable from beginners to advanced, so that has to be worth the investment, right???
Also, I would like to eventually get around to giving Hannie a huge thank you. Earlier in the year I posted a query about where to get a chalk holder. After much advice, I never found one. Hannie, from Portugal, emailed me and offered to send me one. However she could not find one, and wrote back to me to apologise. I thought that it was very nice of her to try, and forgot about it. A few weeks after that, I received an email from Hannie telling me that she found one eventually and had sent it to me.
I thought this was an extremely kind and generous thing to do, and when I asked Hannie what she would like in return, she said nothing! But I think she deserves something, even if it is just a public thank you on ESL.... so here it is...
Thank you Hannie for proving me right... there are still great, kind people out there!! :)
have a good day, I look forward to sharing more contributions with you all!!
PS: I re-read this, and only had to edit 5 times due to poor spelling!!!!!!!

I �m glad you found a member willing to help you. I don �t remember your post about a chalk holder because they are easy to find here and I never use mine anymore.
What �s so great about this site is we usually find someone to help us no matter where they are. I �m really grateful I get to learn and discover new things just by loggin in.

I have used Word Up and can highly recommend it.
You can play with many levels of English and everyone learns something.
I �ve changed over now to Scrabble with some groups...but Word Up was also very good for teens of a certain age.
All the best and let me know how your Word Up games go!!  Fiona.

Welcome back, Sarah! It seems you will be working while we �re (most of us) on holiday.
It doesn �t surprise me that Hannie did what she did because this place here is swarming with people like her. I believe we would do the same for her or anyone else around here. It is just amazing!

Wow, Ivona, this is such a great story you �re telling here. It �s a change from the whining we sometimes read on the forum. This planet is filled with good people. Too bad the bad news take over them. |
