Am creat acest blog cu gândul la voi, elevii mei.Cred ca două ore pe săptămână nu sunt suficiente pentru ca un profesor să reuşească să transmită cantitatea de informaţii, gânduri şi sentimente pe care doreşte să le împărtăşească cu elevii săi, fie în română fie în engleză :). Deşi nu poate înlocui comunicarea "face to face", realitatea virtuală poate ajuta. Sper din tot sufletul că vizitând acest blog veţi deveni mai buni, mai înţelepţi şi mai puternici.

The words of the day
e.g. I know London like the back of my hand ( I wish ......:):):))
TO HAVE TIME ON YOUR HANDS = to have a lot of time available
e.g. We don't have time on our hands so our journey has to draw to a close
e.g. If you spent 5 hours chatting on Messenger everyday then you have far too much time on your hands
TO HAVE THE UPPER HAND = to have an advantage
TO LIVE FROM HAND TO MOUTH = to be very poor
nerve-wrecking experience
Ganduri de la un prieten LET'S DO IT ROMANIA
In numele tuturor celor care viziteaza acest blog, ii multumesc pentru gandurile frumoase si pentru participarea la aceasta actiune.
The words of the day
e.g. PROCRASTINATION is a bad habit. Wise men say that you shouldn't put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
Psychologists define procrastination as the conscious or subconscious avoidance of doing something. And if its effects are neglected enough, it becomes a habit that is extremely difficult to get rid of. Unfortunately, many people tend to procrastinate.

e.g.
Football has popular appeal (=many people enjoy it).
APPALLING (adj) vs. APPEALING
The words of the day

e.g.
A: I believe that dinosaurs were on the earth 6000 years ago.

The jokes of the day

Dad: An idiot is a person who tries to explain his ideas in such a strange and long way that another person who is listening to him can't understand him. Do you understand me?

The words of the day
e.g.Malaysia is a cornucopia of spectacular traditional performances, colourful parades as well as exquisite arts and crafts.
WANDERLUST = a strong desire to rove or to travel about
e.g. Driven by wanderlust, she moved to England to be a babysitter.
ROVE = to move around an area without a definite direction or purpose
Found in the Racetrack—an aptly named dry lake-bed, or playa—the roving rocks in Death Valley National Park have stumped scientists since the 1940s. For instance, the rocks are thought to move as fast as a walking person, but they've never been seen in action. Previous studies have shown that gravity or earthquakes can't explain the objects' movements.

Chapman also said that he had considered shooting Johnny Carson or Elizabeth Taylor instead.

Suntem ceea ce mancam
Dar cheltuim din ce în ce mai mult pentru tratamentul bolilor cauzate de produsele alimentare pline de E-uri cancerigene. Si de faptul cã românii au putere de cumpãrare micã se profitã din plin. Multe produse alimentare de import încãrcate de E-uri ucigase, respinse la ele acasã, se comercializeazã fãrã probleme pe piata noastrã. Pentru cã României îi lipseste un cadru legislativ coerent care sã punã capãt transformãrii pietelor din tara noastrã într-un debuseu pentru producãtorii strãini. În tara noastrã, regimul aditivilor alimentari e reglementat printr-un ordin al Ministerului Sãnãtãtii si al Familiei. El cuprinde E-urile acceptate si cantitãtile admise. Si totusi galantarele sunt invadate de produse care ne bagã în spital.
E125, E141, E150, E171, E172, E173 (coloranti), E240, E241, E477 (emulsificator)
E102 sau tartrazină (colorant galben) extrem de nociv, se găseste în băuturi, mustar si gem, poate genera tumori tiroidiene sau crize de astm bronsic

THE GREATEST BAND ON EARTH
It is hard to write about U2 in just few words. It's not only about their music which is MAGNIFICENT. It's also about the charity actions they are involved in and the powerful message of peace, love, equality and unity the lyrics of their songs transmit. Almost every song of U2's is a symbol, a song which gravitates around a certain topic or it is dedicated to a great person from the past or present.One of the most powerful songs is PRIDE (IN THE NAME OF LOVE). It is dedicated to MARTIN LUTHER KING, an amazing man who believed in and peacefully fought to create a world in which black and white people are equal. The lyrics of the song go like this: "Free at last, they took your life/they could not take your pride". MLK was assassinated in Memphis on April 4, 1968, but the four children he left behind lived to see his dream came true.
Another great song is WALK ON. It was written for Aung San Suu Kyi, a woman politician from Burma and a Nobel Prize winner who has been on house arrest for 14 years of the last 20. Her crime? Her democratic party won the elections for Parliament. She may have become the Prime Minister of the country, but the military dictatorship in Burma had her placed under arrest.
U2 have so many incredible tunes that it is very hard to choose from: WITH OR WITHOUT YOU, STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR, WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME, STAY, BAD, BEAUTIFUL DAY, KITE, ALL I WANT IS YOU, STUCK IN A MOMENT, LOVE IS BLINDNESS, MISS SARAJEVO, CITY OF BLINDING LIGHTS, MAGNIFICENT, just to name few.
And of course, ONE. An amazing song about love, abandonment, rejection and sufferance all together. One of the most memorable ballads ever written.
I have been listening to U2 for 15 years.I have always dreamed to see them play live. Two weeks ago my long-time dream came true. Istanbul was the closest U2 has ever come to Romania and I took advantage of that. It was a tiring trip but it was fully worth it. Even staying in the pouring rain for half an hour before the show. It was the concert of my life. We managed to be among the first 1000 people to have arrived at the stadium and so, we stayed close to the stage. To see Bono and the other boys within arm's reach is an experience I will cherish for the rest of my life. I wouldn't have been able to see U2 live if it hadn't been for an amazing Turk friend who took care of everything. Istanbul is a wonderful city but to go there and see U2 performing live was more than I could ask for.
I do hope this article-like material convinced you to discover U2. And if it hasn't, U2' s music will surely do it.

TRUANCY = the act or habit of staying away from school without permission
To play truant = to skip classes
Here's an example of this word in the context:
Truancy is a gateway to crime. High rates of truancy are linked to high daytime burglary rates and high vandalism. According to the Los Angeles County Office of Education, truancy is the most powerful predictor of juvenile delinquent behavior. "I've never seen a gang member who wasn't a truant first," says California District Attorney Kim Menninger
