    Picture Stories: Language and Literacy Activities for Beginners
    by Fred Ligon and Elizabeth Tannenbaum

    Good for all ages.  I post pics and we discuss them in class.  Students get a lot of it, from vocabulary to discussing situations and even culture.

    All English words must contain at least one vowel. That's the only rule that is applicable to all words, I think.

    They're the same, yes. Here's a little rhyme you could also say: "Good night. Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite."

    push-pushy talk-talky, as in, "That movie was very talky." if there is a lot of talk and no story in a movie. I often describe my neighbor's dog as 'barky' :P

    Slang are informal words or phrases, and there are hundreds of possible examples. It can be confined to a region or a certain era. Some examples: Ain't (short for 'am not') hizzouse, crib (house) "Whassup?" (How are you?) "That'll do 'er" (Good work, thanks) "Get 'er done" (Let's do it)

    Fruit can be countable and uncountable, depending on context. If it is fruit in general, it is not countable. Ex. I eat seven pieces of fruit a day. If it is more specific and requires emphasis, it can be countable. Ex. I love Costa Rican fruits such as mangoes, papayas, and plantains. Ex. These fruits are rotten.

    Oh my God !

    Few days ago ,I saw a report at the renren web,and it really made me crazy ! It said that Poland's President and no death instead of boarding Noah's ark ! It's really incredible ! We'll face the end of the earth ?????? I can't believe it !



    nice title :)

    A few days ago, I saw a report on the Renren website (is it a website? I am unsure), and it really made me crazy!

    It said that Poland's president (You capitilize president only if it is a title, like 'President Obama', but not 'Obama is the president'.) 

    It said that Poland's president is not dead, and instead boarded Noah's Ark (here it is a proper noun, so should capitilize)! 

    What a strange story.  It sounds very interesting, and I hope it is not the end of the earth.
