24.01.2022 Here is an example of a 'hypothetical' question. You may be asked something like this in your IELTS Speaking Test.

20.01.2022 Most English words have their basis in other languages, Greek, Latin, French etc. In fact, there a very few original English words left! This word has its base in the Latin 'salus' meaning health. In English when we raise a glass we say 'Cheers!'. In French the expression is 'Salut!' meaning 'Good health'. The word below could be used in this way, 'Many people seek the salutary effects of the sea air to recover from illness'.

17.01.2022 'Just' is a tricky little word to use. See if you can choose the correct answer regarding its usage from the multiple choice below.

15.01.2022 Here is another good physical representation of the use of punctuation marks - the top 15.

12.01.2022 'Mystery Object' has been a game played in quiz nights as well as on TV. Search your English vocabulary to see if you can guess what the object is that the rufous humingbird in the photo is so intrigued by.

12.01.2022 There are many ways to say you are tired, "I'm exhausted." is a common one or more colloquially, "I'm worn out." or "I'm knocked out." or like this yawning owl from Ansung City in South Korea, "I'm just plain tuckered out."

11.01.2022 This is an easy word to use in both writing and speaking. Check the pronunciation online if you're not sure...

07.01.2022 Understanding and using phrasal verbs can be very tricky in English. Below are some commonly used ones. 'Run out' is one that has different usages but is often used when there is nothing left of something eg "I have run out of milk" = I have no milk left. When things such as passports and visas are due to expire we also use the term 'run out' eg "My passport runs out in January. I need to get it renewed."

04.01.2022 Finding out about word origins can be fun. 'Posh' is a word that has come to be used for things that are very 'upmarket', such as a 'posh' hotel. Watch the video clip and see if the commonly given origin of the word 'posh' (an acronym of the words Port Out Starboard Home), is correct. It will improve your vocabulary and help you listening skills as well.

02.01.2022 Following the conquest of England by the William the Conqueror of Normandy, France, at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, French was introduced as the language of the nobility. William the Conqueror himself never mastered the English language! As a result, the English language is sprinkled with French words. Below is an example. It means, literally, 'cold blood' (sang - blood; froid - cold) and as the definition explains, it means to remain calm under pressure. It is also used to describe a cool reception from someone who is displeased with you! An English pronunciation is used. Check to audio link at Oxford Dictionaries online to hear it.

02.01.2022 The present perfect ( I have just seen Mary down the street), is used frequently in English and in many different ways. One of those ways is to talk about life experiences eg "Have you ever been to Iceland?" Here is a full lesson from BBC Learning English on the use of the present perfect in that context.

01.01.2022 Just in case you didn't understand the idiom, 'couch potato', referred to below, here is a graphic that will make it pretty clear. We've all been there!
