Tony expects . . .

Right campers, no excuses, no 30 minute latecomers, tomorrow is a big IELTS day, so 'get it on'!
  • We shall be in Room 4, NOT Room 7 (room 4 is on the other side, upstairs, last room on the right.
  • We have the Globish debate. Have you at least read the two articles I gave you? Jishad, Moh'd Ali and Mariam D have the tough job to 'sell' us Globish - give them a fair hearing. Fahim, Haitham and Ahmed Saeed are the English language 'purists'. I'd also like to set up the final debate for Thursday 12 October with Asila, Mariam Al Mazrouei, Engr Moh'd Savwan and a VOLUNTEER who wants a second chance to hone his/her debating skills.
  • I have my magic A4 page with all the tenses of English named, explained and exampled - your Grammar problems solved 'at a stroke'.
  • I have my special handout on SPEAKING with my tips to maximise your score in IELTS speaking.
  • We'll look at 30 ways to give your opinion.
  • I have a 27 page (!) READING project to give you for the weekend.
  • You'll do a timed Task 1 AND Task 2 Writing practice - I demand TWO pieces of work done before my eyes, Mr Al Darmaki, NOT at home.
  • Finally, after you do the Writing practice, I'll give you the mega task 2 handout, with lots and lots of useful phrases and advice on how to crack this part of IELTS. You shall be delighted to receive the Band 9 writing that I have kept from Ms Aisha Azim as well as THREE model essays that your humble teacher has written from the 69 arguments list.

Miss this class at your peril! What was that about the road to Hell?

  • I really cannot wait to leave the small, overcrowded class and move to the more convenient room 4.

    everyone, enjoy your new class!

  • Room 7 is cosy and has the IWB. We only have this ONE lesson today, 5 October in Room 4. Next Tuesday, October 10th we'll be back in Room 7 (that's as far as I know, I'm only a teacher at the BC!)

    Excuse me, but what about the rest of the message?

    And where on earth is the remainder of the class? Sleepwalking along the primrose path to ...?

    Oh dear, I'm beginning to think this class is a hopeless case regarding WEBLOG participation. Maybe I shouldn't bother to expect anything from such a collection of 'wusses'???

    That's it, nothing further from me.

    See you, ROOM 4, 8.00 pm sharp, valet parking or no valet parking!
