Its now november .Not only have the leaves on the trees changed colour but they have also dropped so the landscape is looking bare.The weather is damp and foggy.Low clouds.My garden is a swamp.All in all winter has arrived and it will be fairly dark most days here in Yorkshire for the next few months.Hmm.
I do enjoy winter.When it snows.Or when its icy and I don't have to drive.And our winters are becoming more snowy.That feeling you get when walking on crispy white snow (being the first to do so!) is wonderful.I love the silence that decends with snow.But I digress...
I am now teaching full time on line.My classes are a mixture of teenage geography students who attend a virtual high school ,Chinese IELTS students working hard for exams to enter Universities or gain residency somewhere and Russian students who are a mix..some business,some school children and some conversation.Its great!I am really enjoying it now and am fully in my stride..
I am using a number of excellent textbooks for the students
Compelling Conversations
New Opportunities
Market Leader
to name a few.
And today I have decided that I am now more committed to this blog and so will update it weekly from here on in.I hope to include lots of links to helpful sites for both teachers and students so if you know of any then feel free to let me know!
