Crossword Puzzles

I think that crossword puzzles are not only educational and fun but also addictive. You can use them for relaxing or breaking the ice in your classes. Now, why don't we try some questions? You have 20 minutes to think creatively and finish them. Let's start!


1. Fannee doolee likes boots, but hates galoshes. She likes glasses, but not reflectors. She likes sheets, but just doesn't like blankets. She also likes sunny days, too, but not weather. The question is: Does she like coffee or tea better?


2. I'm in food, not in drink

I'm in you, not in me

I'm in scooter, not bike

I'm in dog, not cat

I'm in envelop, not letters

What am I?


3. What does this say?

D

N

A

T

S


4. What word is always spelled correctly?


5. there are four letters in the word FIVE. Take two away to make four . Now take one more letter to make FIVE again .

It's overtime. Let's check your answers!

1. Fannee likes cofee better because all the things she likes have double letters in their spelling.

2. It's the letter "O" . It's easy, isn't it?

3. This says "stand up" . Because you say this word from the bottom.

4. It's neither "an" , or "one". Noword spells correctly except the word "correctly".

5. You have to delete two letter "F" and "E". The rest is IV (it's number four in Roman characters). Then, you delete "I", so we have V(five).

Wish you have fun with those puzzles!

GRAMMAR HOURS !

What is your feeling when you attend Grammar class?

In my opinion, this's great. We are allowed to study in the lab which have many computers.Our lecturer presents his lesson plans by motion picture projector. With this method, we save a lot of time. After that, Mr Vu teaches us how to use some softwares in order to help our studies effectively and how to search useful, suitable information for my lessons exactly and quickly.
For example:
If you want to find the definition of a word such as phrasal verbs , you can open Google page and type phrasal verbs def:
Or to find good webs saying about that, you may type phrasal verbs filetype:pdf.
With the information you get from the internet by using these small techniques, you can write the essays or do the projects easily and better.
Besides, Mr Vu also instructs us the way to do and post our webs. We have learned ED -Quiz, Hot Potatoes, Quiz Builder,and Teaching Template. Those provides us with equipments to do a good web.
At the end of grammar class, we spend about 30 minutes practising what we have been taught.
And after each terms, we hand in our projects to him. Certainly, we must choose one grammar topic and display it by all skills we learned . That web requests a good content, precision, logic, attractive display and being easy to use.
These are reasons why I like grammar hours. What about your opinions?

Let us introduce !

Our group has FIVE members. Especially, all of us are active girls. Actually, we are a family - an unusual family. I am sure that you must be surprised when I tell you about that. hihi...

One in five members is our husband, called " hus" (husband). Other people are her wives. Sometimes we call her funnily " con chong". because she is both a girl and our husband. What a strange family!Her full name is LE THI YEN NHU. she lives in THU DUC.


The first wife is " ba ca" - VO NGUYEN THUY VY, coming from VUNG TAU. She looks very lovely with a projecting tooth.



The other wife is LE THI TRUONG AN, nickname " ba hai" . That means she is the second person that our husband got married ( oh, my god). with a round face, she always makes a deep impression with everybody when smiling.




In general, both " hus" and two first " ho"(honey) are pretty short. but I - the last wife and the third wife is MISS TU ( 'ho ut' and "ho ba", both come from VUNG TAU) are very tall. We are very proud of that. ( That is a secret, please can tell anyone except for my husband and two first "ho". Otherwise, I will be divorced. huhu).

We are happy when work together. Although we are not beautiful, all of us are very lovely, funny, frank. So, we are confident when saying that we are five fairies, five flowers .
