|

Hello, my dear collegues!!! I just want to ask for help. Please  tell me what is the origin of the proverb "It ´s raining cats and dogs". My students sometimes ask me and I promised them that I ´ll find out the meaning. So thank you very much beforehand. |

Hi mr.dgdln
I wish I could go!
Have a delicious holiday and enjoy your cute nephew. You deserve.
happy holidays, for the present I am still with tons of work, but, as we usually say here, there is a light far end, but shining more and more brightly.
Hope you have a good time

Hi!!! I want to share this with all of you!
|
We ´ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese..
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
Then shouldn ´t the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn ´t the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that, and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!
Let ´s face it - English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;
Neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren ´t invented in England.
We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes,
We find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don ´t
fing, Grocers don ´t groce and hammers don ´t ham?
Doesn ´t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not
one amend.
If you have a bunch of odds and ends
And get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn ´t preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English
Should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.
In what other language do people recite at a play and play
at a recital?
We ship by truck but send cargo by ship.
We have noses that run and feet that smell.
We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.
And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
While a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
In which your house can burn up as it burns
Down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out,
And in which an alarm goes off by going on.
And, in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother ´s not Mop?

A specially useful worksheet for Spanish teachers: Formentera commercial song
|
Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that tomorrow there will be an available worksheet on the recent contributions section which could be specially useful for Spanish teachers.
It´s about a song which has been made very famous these summer days in Spain, since it has been use to advertise on tv a famous brand of BEER and the Balearic island of FORMENTERA.
It might be useful for teachers worldwide, too. A link is provided to download the song for free.
I used this song in my class yesterday, and the lesson was such a success. Teenagers love the song, cause they associate it to summer, holidays and love.
I hope you like it. 
Best wishes,
Jessica
