English Listening Exercise I Bought a Little City

English Listening Exercise I Bought a Little City One of my all-time favorite English podcasts to listen to for a long time is The New Yorker magazines fiction podcast. It features modern writers reading their favorite short fiction pieces from past issues of The New Yorker, and then discussing them with the magazines fiction editor. Ive always thought the podcast would make a good English listening exercise, and finally got around to putting one together.Donald BarthelmeFor the first one, I chose one of my all-time favorite short stories, by Donald Barthelme, I Bought a Little City. The story is very eccentric, and takes the reader into a strange world, where the narrator has somehow bought the city of Galveston, Texas, and begins to make changes to it.This is a fairly advanced English listening exercise, but the great thing about podcasts is that they can be listened to over and over again. You can listen to I Bought a Little City by clicking here. The podcast is free, and can be downloaded and listened to on an mp3 player, or lis tened to on your computer.Below youll find a list of questions about the reading. Enjoy!

Eight Great Brain Break Ideas

Eight Great Brain Break Ideas Did you know that brain breaks are proven to improve student productivity, problem solving, and overall attention? Here are eight brain break ideas to incorporate into your classroom routine when your students need to refocus and reenergize: Do yoga stretches. Put on some soothing music and lead students through a few stretches and breathing exercises. Shoulder circles, cat and cow, tree, and ragdoll are some simple moves that will get your students revitalized. Flip water bottles. Keep a few half-full water bottles around for your tween and teen students, who are probably familiar with the bottle-flipping trend that overtook the internet over the last few years. Clear a few desks and line up in rows to have your students try to flip and land water bottles upright. Go outside. If you have a little more time for a break, take the class outdoors for some vitamin D. Lead them through a few group exercises like jumping jacks or just let them relax and talk. Bust out the beach ball. Keep a blown-up beach ball on hand and have students toss it around, challenging them to keep it from touching the ground or walls. Better yet, make that three beach balls to keep airborne. Line up by ____. Get students interacting and moving by giving a criterion and having them line up in order. For example, your students could line up by height, age, or alphabetical order of first or last name. Play Simon Says. Have everyone stand up and play this classic, and make it fun and active. For example, Simon says take five big steps across the room on your knees. Simon says try touching your foot to somewhere above your waist. Play Human Knot. Divide up into groups of five or six, have everyone put one hand into the circle to grab the hand of someone else, and then do the same with their other hand. The goal: untie the knot without letting go. Stand up. Short on time? Have everyone stand up. Let your students move around and socialize or start a conversation by asking what TV shows your students are watching or what theyre doing over the weekend. Sometimes, the best way to engage your students is to give them a quick break. Youll build camaraderie and boost their brain functions at the same time. Ready, break!

If youre looking for other types of chip dip to make for guests (or yourself..) here are a few: - Hummus - Clam dip (ooooh this could be an interesting one!) - Salsa (a classic and a favorite) - Horseradish and Dill - Chunky Guacamole 6.

Youll be able to go home and try to replicate your favorite dish at your favorite restaurant and all will be well. If youre a college student who struggles with food (like cooking your own, or spending too much money going out to restaurants because you dont have the energy to cook for yourself  and  clean up the dishes afterward), consider copy-catting your favorite restaurant meals by practicing different recipes at home until you get the taste just right. Its popular for people to host dinner parties and try to imitate restaurant dishes so while you have the time, practice your skills in the kitchen before you have guests over!

Seven Ways to Keep Your Kids Brain Fit - ALOHA Mind Math

Seven Ways to Keep Your Kids Brain Fit Mind Over Body Exercising your body is one thing and your mind is another. It’s important that your kid’s brain gets a good workout, so that it can function at an optimal level. In this blog, you’ll be able to pick up a few ways that you can keep your kid’s brain healthy. Kids of the age group five to 12 tend to be very active and alert; you can use their hyperactivity as an advantage to keep their minds in good shape. The Steps to a Fit Brain Here are seven ways you can try to keep your kid’s brain well exercised: Engage them in complex activities for short periods, E.g. Math Puzzles, Cross words. Using the weaker hand occasionally lets both sides of the brain get a workout. When kids socialize, it can improve their concentration. Physical exercise is very necessary, as it regulates oxygenated blood flow through the brain. Learning a musical instrument can improve cognitive functioning. At least eight hours of sleep is necessary for a healthy mind. Healthy eating has a number of benefits and they’re not just for brain fitness. Having a healthy mind is extremely beneficial during childhood. It enables kids to have healthy relationships with their peers, cope with anxiety and stress, and improve their creative capabilities.
