Now Playing Tracks

musicaljello asked:

Could you explain To me how your blog works? Do the words come first, then you find pictures, or do you give them pictures and these are the words that people come up with? I am very interested.

I look around for funny pictures, or people submit them to us, and when “A” and I do our lessons, we set aside time to work on captions. The captions you see on our site are written by her. After she shows them to me, I help her with any grammar problems or poor word choices that stand out. (We do a lot of other exercises, too, such as discussing news articles and repeating pronunciation drills.)

As an ESL instructor myself, I just wanted to say that your blog greatly amuses me. Learning English doesn't have to be serious all the time - it can be pretty awesome and amusing. :D

I think so too! I started out showing students boring pictures, like a person looking at a clock in a train station, but people had a lot more fun with the bizarre pictures.

Graduation Gown a Problem for Albuquerque Transgender Student

If you would like to help, please either leave a message at
(505) 831-8400

Sign the petition

Or email the St. Pius X administration at
jsalway@spx.k12.nm.us

Let’s show our support for Damien. The administration has no right to deny the established gender identity of this student. We want him to be able to walk at his graduation.

Please help support this student, who wants to walk for his graduation in clothing congruent with his gender identity. The petition is very close to its signature goal. Thanks! ~ Pony

We are learning how to be a horse from a real horse because our mean queen said she wants to ride us like a horse.  She asked us to practice to be a horse, therefore we are practicing.  However, today is the April Fools Day, so I wonder it was a joke.

I’m playing hide-and-seek with my children.  I’ve been here for a couple of hours, but they haven’t found me.  I started feeling lonely and wanting to go home.  However, I might make them feel disappointed if they know how I feel now.

I won’t let you show this card absolutely because it’s the wild card.  I said what I have despite myself, but he didn’t hear what I said.  However, he just has pretended not to hear it.  Yes, I lost the game.

He wanted to be a hero in movies, but he couldn’t because of his looks.  He was given bad roles and he assumed that it was a calling in his job.  He passed away a few years ago and he became a statue, and he finally could become a hero.

We have a long winter and the weather tends to be cloudy days.  I wanted to make someone happy to look at my house.  I painted it collorfully, but don’t look at the roof yet because I split white paint.

I’m a very shy model and I can’t look straight at cameras.  I had a talk about it to my boss and she brought this wig.  It was a good idea because people didn’t recognize when I looked down as I was walking in the runway.
