    Hi Abdi Fatah

    This site is full of lessons and and conversations.

    If you click on the i-pod icon at the start of each conversation, you can download the sound file. you can play it for yourself or in class for your students.

    You can get them to act out the conversation or ask them questions about the conversation or get them to adapt it to their own situations.

    Try it out. If you have any problems or if you have another question, please send us another message.

    cheers Mark

    You are providing a very good service. If I were in your shoes, I would be careful not to politicize things too far one way or another… ensure that balanced opinions are shared, otherwise your site may begin to feel like propaganda. I trust you will be balanced.

    Cheers!

    That’s a good suggestion Wang. We’ll try to capture more conservative views, too. You are right, balanced and fair is a good thing.

    Thanks Wang Woo
    That is good advice.

    One of things about teaching English is that everything is expressed in language. Of course there will be opinions on this site that I disagree with and that you disagree with because our aim is to get the language out there regardless of the opinions.

    We really appreciate your feedback. Please keep watching us and give us advice where you think we need it.

    Happy new Year!

    Mark
