I Love My New External Portable Hard Drive

Posted on by
This afternoon I went with my two other colleagues in Wenzhou to buy my newest gadget – A Samsung 360GB external portable hard drive. Whew I just love it! Now I can freely put all my stuffs into this one and I can download loads of stuffs. Smiles. This is what I’ve been fancying the past few weeks and now that I have it, I would stop thinking of gadgets for now and,,,s-a-v-e for the upcoming holiday in maybe Shanghai again. Grins. Hmmm I am so excited just by thinking about it. Whew!

The Two Finger Point

Posted on by
I recently discovered this game from one of my colleagues here. This is great for vocabulary revision and drill after going through all the target language. I usually do this in teams depending on my class I separate them in two groups by counting off between numbers one and two so there’s nothing to argue about between the boys and the girls in the class. After going through and over on repetition of the target language, I split them in teams and then lay down the rules of the game which is once I flash my one finger it means they read the word that I pointed on the board. When I flash two fingers while pointing the word they musn’t read and shut up their mouths and if anybody of their groups says a word then the other team gains one point every time. This game not only promotes team cooperation but for the most part this strengthens listening skills, reading skills, speaking skills, and most of all concentration. All members of each team must concentrate on the teacher’s fingers otherwise they would loose. Smiles. My kids love this!
