Hi there, I am Djordje and I have a bachelor’s degree in law, but apart from that teaching English has been my passion, and a gig I had been doing over the course of my studies when I taught primarily my friends and their friends. But, before I started teaching it, I had to learn it well enough. That being said, I remember how it is to be at the beginning and start building up your English skills and I'll try to explain to you how learning English with me would be like. 1) Lesson Material The key is to try to introduce manageable chunks of information and not add in more information until the student is comfortable with what they have already covered, so going slowly but surely is the best. 2) Practicing It is my opinion that practice activities should revolve around students having the opportunity to speak English and the best way to do so, is to follow the 70 – 30 rule( 70 % of the class the student talks, and 30 – the teacher) through lots of exercises aimed at speaking, reading and answering questions and other. 3) Having Fun English should not be taught the same way Mathematics or History is taught. It is paramount to get the students to communicate in a positive creative environment. A teacher should incorporate many different games into his/her lessons and with lots of miming and role plays revolved around real life situations (for example have a fake job interview).By doing all this the teacher is taking the focus away from grammar rules (but inserting them on the go) and focusing on communication which will encourage students to try their best. 4) Reviewing Because repetition is the mother of every science, and however tedious it can get, it’s important to have small review sessions before moving on to the next lesson, part of the book or similar just to make sure everything is covered so far. And of course, tests after finishing a larger part are absolutely necessary. I hope I helped you make an informative decision and I hope to see you in class.

    And a version with all corrections accepted(it couldn't fit on my previous entry) :
    Yesterday I attended the “Travelers” meeting. In my city there are many young people that have enough money to travel after they start working. Every now and then a friend of mine invites travelers to speak about their experience.
    In this way they can help fewer experienced people to prepare for a journey or motivate them do it. Most of the people attending such meetings work in the IT industry.
    Yesterday a couple spoke to us about their journey from Ukraine to Italy. They have been in Italy for nearly two months, traveling from north to south. They have been using the “Couchsurfing” service so they met many nice people and spent almost nothing for the accommodations. I've never had such an experience, but it looks like the best way to discover the daily life of the country you are traveling through.
    It was difficult for them to find accommodation in the big and popular city like Rome. So they spent a night at the McDonalds of Rome. For sure this is not the best place to get familiar to Rome.
    They advised us to look for accommodation in one of the smaller cities in the neighboring areas around the bigger touristic cities. I agree, also for me the most important thing is not to visit museums or crowded squares. There is a lot more beyond the Coliseum or Piazza san Marco.
    Before the journey they hoped to hitchhike to move in Italy, but they did not do so well. Often the police prohibited them to do it. But they found out that the local trains are not too expensive and that they work well enough.
    They concluded the trip in Agrigento. I am surprised to have found out that this is the place where a video clip of Gianna Nannini was shot at.
    Ukraine's people have a strong desire to travel and discover new Countries.
    But also Ukraine has a lot to offer to travelers. I'll write about this next time.

    You could say: My elderly good friend...or my elderly friend... By saying this, there is no confusion, because you are only saying that your friend is old of age but not saying that you have known him for a while like you would if you said "My old friend". Or if you really want to be poetic :) you could say: " My dear friend, who is old of age but not of soul, ....." Hope I helped, if you think I can help more, feel free to look me up on Italki. Cheers!

    Hi, you haven't made many grammar errors, but I think that if this is a report of some kind, you'd want to make it a bit more stylish, and that's what I tried to do. Hope I helped. Cheers!

    Traffic in Granada is a bit chaotic. There are usually numerous traffic jams. So if you visit Granada i<ins cite="mailto:Djordje" datetime="2015-03-14T16:28">t’</ins>s better to leave the car parked in a car park and to use<ins cite="mailto:Djordje" datetime="2015-03-14T16:28"> the</ins> public transport. 
    There are several types of public transport in the town, <ins cite="mailto:Djordje" datetime="2015-03-14T16:29">namely bus</ins>as the coach, taxi, underground<ins cite="mailto:Djordje" datetime="2015-03-14T16:30"> </ins><ins cite="mailto:Djordje" datetime="2015-03-14T16:29">(or you could write </ins><ins cite="mailto:Djordje" datetime="2015-03-14T16:30">–</ins><ins cite="mailto:Djordje" datetime="2015-03-14T16:29"> metro,</ins><ins cite="mailto:Djordje" datetime="2015-03-14T16:30"> everyone understands that)</ins> or tram.
