Welcome

If you're reading this right now then you're probably one of my current students at Ningbo University in China. If you are an old student then "G'day", if you're a future students "Gootameetcha" if you just kinda stumbled on in here then "Howzit" anyway. To anyone at all Welcome to this, the very first blog on this site.

The reason I set this up was because MSN have notified all their clients that they are closing down their current spaces soon, so I figured it would be a good idea to start off a new space where students can contact me or review their English.

From now on I'll try to post the content of lessons on the day - or the day before - they happen, but I'll combine some of the previous content from my old space to make up the first couple of "lessons" on this site. Although I am using a Blogsite I hope that you all realise that the Comment button is not there just for show. USE IT. Well, that's not an order but an invitation. However, its a very strong invitation. I'd even add that students who use it would get better marks, but that would be bribery...and you KNOW I'd never expect any of my students to take bribes, yeah?

I only have photos of past students to post on here so if anyone wants photos posted just e.mail them to me (You all know my student email address, don't you?- ( cireena@hotmail.com).

While I will post lessons I'll also put in reference to articles or blogs you might be interested in, URLs of interesting sites or of those that might be helpful. Anyone who finds any themselves is welcome to share them as well. I'll even cut and paste any articles or poetry or stuff that you want to share too - so give it a go. I would like to make this site interactive: - you're always complaining about not being able to practise your English...so "put up or shut up" (an English expression similar to "Put your money where your mouth is" which means don't just talk about it, ...Do It.)

While I was kidding about giving extra credit to students who post on here, I will be able to see who the serious students are by the whether they ever pop up on here (hint, hint) so c'mon...don't be a stranger. And don't be shy. I set this up for you guys - so use it. And hey, if you're not a student of mine use it too. Like I said: - everyone's welcome.
