Student presentations

I was very impressed with the presentations that you guys did last week. I think some of the groups should have practised more,  but overall they were very good. I will cover presentation skills in class,  as there are specific skills, techniques and language that can be used to give effective presentations.

Here are some pictures of you guys in action!

Teachers' Day

I have enjoyed Teachers' Day today, and I would like to thank all of my students who came to see me, to say 'happy teachers day' and give flowers to pay respect (my car will smell very nice now!!)

It is always nice to see all of you, but it is also nice to see former students, who are now at university etc, who come to say thank you. It means a lot to a teacher like myself when students, both former and present, show their appreciation. Thank you.
