1. Relax and enjoy speaking
When you use English,
dont
worry
about
making
mistakes. The
chances are you will
always make smallmistakes. You can
come to the
conversation club. You will enjoy
speaking about movies and
interesting topics.
2. Learn about how you learn
Are you a visual learner? If
you are a visual learner, youcan link language to pictures
and images. Watch films with
subtitles, try to visualize
yourself in imaginary situations
speaking English, fix words with
pictures in your mind. If you have
an auditory style, you have a
good ear for language and
should listen to as much music as
possible and watch movies inEnglish.
3. Learn memory
techniques
There are plenty of
books on how to
improve your
memory. It is a skill
that the successfullearners I know take
very seriously.
6. Learn Vocabulary
systematically
Remember that
learning English is
not just about
learninggrammar. When
we speak, we express most of our
ideas through our choice of
vocabulary, through collocations
and fixed expressions. Think
carefully about how you organize
your notebook, dont just write a
long list of new words! Try to use
them every day with yourclassmates either in or outside the
classroom. When you realize you
will have learned a lot of words.

TIPS FOR LISTENING
Becoming an efficient and effectilistener isnt easy but once you start to make progress you
find that you get access to new information.
In recent studies by Dr. Ralph Nichols, he
found that almost 40% of the day is spend
on listening to others.
What is surprising is that the efficiency of
listening to what we hear is only around 25%.
Here are some tips that will
put you on the road to better
listening:
1. Listen something that you
like such as movies, songs,reality shows, etc.)
2. Listen to your CDs, DVDsfrom the book every day.
3. Dont think you will
understand everything, justget the main idea.
4. Take notes, dont be afraid
to do this.
5. Pay attention topeoples
mouth that will help youunderstand more.
6- Practice with your peers,
Remember listening must be
practiced every single day.

Art is everywhere. Painting, drawing, singing dancing, writing, cooking etc.At t
beginning was only the art of Muses but nowadays Music actually has the pow
to influence the way we dress, think, speak and live our lives.
Music changes with time and even the definition of music varies according
culture and social context. There is also a strong connection between music and mathematics.To ma
people, in many cultures, music is an important part of their lives. Music is the key to creativity. Mus
improves our minds and that makes us creative.The greatest minds and thinkers like Albert Einste
Mozart, and Frank Lloyd Wright all had something in common; they were constantly exploring th
imagination and creativity.
Music is good for education. It is a great tool for memorization. If more teachers get used to sing songs
teach something in their classes, kids would retain that
information much quicker.
Music can lead us on an extended journey where the time
stops and you can feel any kind of emotions like sadness,
happiness or excitement. All these things deal with the
human senses and there is a certain type of connection that
comes when you enjoy making music with a group of people
that understands you.

Caring for the environment is a commitment we must all take to
leave a better future for our next generations. Many people when
they think about caring for the environment imagine very
complicated and difficult task to perform, but it isnt, the truth is
that it is very simple and ourselves we can start doing some of these
things, even in our house:
Turn off electrical appliances you arent using.
Opt for paper bags and cloth bags instead of plastic.
Make the most of the sunlight so you can avoid the electric lights.
Dont waste water to bathe, brush your teeth, and wash your car and watering
plants.
Avoid traveling by car, walking or cycling besides caring for the environment and
the ozone layer, will help you be healthier.
Plant a tree; since trees provide oxygen, also they eliminate CO2 emissions,
minimizing the effects of global warming.
Recycle and reuse as much as possible, this you contribute to generate less waste. Dont throw waste into the street or anywhere else.
Share with your family and friends what you just read, for that they also become aware,
because remember, we only have one planet, we must take care of it!

THE JAGUARES
It has been almost seven-and-a-half months since Texans linebackerWilliamAlexandertore the ligaments in his left knee on October 8
that the mustang it wont
be long now before he returns to the field.My return is right around the corner, so thats a good feeling Alexander said on
Monday after the Jaguares first practice of OTAs. I can definitely tell you Ill beready for the first game of the season, and Im pretty sure Ill be ready for the firstpractice come training camp.
Alexander arrives at Cafetaln Stadium for rehab daily at 6:30 a.m., feverishlyworking to come back stronger than he was before The Jaguars defensive captainand 2011 MVP rehabbed on a side field for part of Mondays practice and watchedthe rest of it with his teammates, wearing his number 26 without a helmet as hetalked with teammates and coaches and observed the action.
Alexander will not return to practice until training camp in July, but the 2009 LCFADefensive Rookie of the Year said he has been running, squatting, jumping and
doing position drills in his rehab.I think Im doing pretty much everything I can do, Alexander said. I feel great. Ithink its just that last little bit of strength that I need to get, and then Ill be good.
There havent been any setbacks. Its going great. Im starting to feel like me again,and thats a hell of a feeling considering where I was and how hard it was justsome mornings to even get up and walk. Its just night and day, and its in the past.Its full throttle now, and Im going to go as hard as I can until Im back.
