Asking For and Giving Street Directions English Exercise | Blair English Introduction: Anybody who has travelled to another country or city has got lost. Sometimes maps don't help, so you have to ask somebody for directions. If you're in a country where they don't speak your language, this can be difficult. At other times, you will have to give directions to people visiting your country. In this online exercise, we will look at the essential vocabulary used to both ask for and to give directions in English. Exercise: Receiving directions A visitor to the city of York in the North of England asks a person in the street for directions to the Silk Cottage restaurant. Using both the directions and the map, try to guess what the meaning of the words/phrases in bold are. Visitor:'Excuse me, could you tell me the way to the Silk Cottage restaurant please?' York Resident:'Eh, the Silk Cottage restaurant. You'll then come to a bridge, go over the bridge. Quiz: Street directions in English vocabulary When the answer is correct, two icons will appear next to the question.
@.Ampère et l'histoire de l'électricité Improve English Pronunciation with Free Podcast Traces écrites anglais Edit du 28/10 : ajout de deux fiches : contribution de Valérie J'ai inauguré il y a peu la rubrique "english" du blog en créant des fiches pour travailler les éléments culturels. J'ai poursuivi ma réflexion et inspirée par le super travail de ma cybercopine Lala (que je remercie en passant) à partir de la méthode Muzzy in Gondoland, j'ai décidé de l'utiliser cette année. Ayant été équipée d'un VPI cette année, le format vidéo de la méthode se prête du coup bien à ma pratique de classe. Je proposerai donc dans cet article les fiches "traces écrites" en lien avec les notions travaillées en partant de la vidéo. Ces fiches peuvent toutefois être utilisées indépendamment de la méthode. Voici donc les premières fiches. Se saluer - Greetings Décrire - description Décrire - description (body and face) Compter - numbers Dire comment on va - feelings Les couleurs - colors Vocabulaire de position - Location La nourriture - Food La nourriture - flashcards La famille - Family La maison - The house

How Visual Thinking Improves Writing Younger kids typically love to draw and aren’t too worried about the outcomes of their artwork — until they get older. By the time they’ve learned to read and write, art takes a back burner to academics, primarily because of what most schools prioritize. Over time it becomes harder for kids to think in pictures the way they once did. But what if students were encouraged to think in pictures alongside words? “There’s something about writing that is a link to your brain,” said Marissa Moss, author of the popular children’s book series Amelia’s Notebook. Taking a cue from Moss, teachers from Oak Knoll Elementary School in Menlo Park, Calif., decided to have their students keep notebooks in a similar style. “They’re not used to being given permission to write about whatever they want,” Clancy said. Moss says writing without fear of consequences is key to developing a writer’s voice. Now, the students write four to five times a week for 45 minutes at a time. Katrina Schwartz
