Hello everyone,

 

Sorry I have not responded to emails and messages lately.  It has been a very busy 2 months and still one more to go ... ha ha ha.

 

The life of a teacher in the summer time I guess.  I hope you are all well and  (for those of you in the northern hemisphere) enjoying the summer. 

It's been a very strange summer in Toronto, we have had hot and cold weather.  Everyone believed this was going to be a  very hot summer but it turned out to be ok.  Unfortunately not enough rain has fallen this year and the farmers are not very happy with that.  In the city air pollution was not as bad as the last few years and not as humid.  In all this was a great summer to be in Toronto.  My students and I studied and had a lot of fun going around the city to practice their new skills.

 

So this is what I have been busy with ... To all of you enjoy the rest of the summer and send me your stories if you would like.  I can't promise to answer them but they will give me ideas for your next lessons Wink

 

talk to you soon,

 

Silent Sam

i think, I have a litle story, of my country,portugal,..

here almost never the temperature goes so hot.. here goes in the summer, to 43ºc...

in my country, 3/2 years ago, in the summer, maybe always rain, and only on the south, who are hot. but a years pass, and the summer goes hot, and very popolations don't have water, because the water drys. the farms, dry almost all, and some times rain hail, and spoil the wine, and the fruit... this year, was the most terrible, because, the rain and the hot, spoil a lot of plants and wine.

some populations are a litle scared, because, if they dont have wine, and fruits to sell, who they gonna be money?

so i think you gonna like this story...

bye
