Grammar Lessons! Look for great grammar lessons with quizzes and feedback to complement our daily conversation lessons--a new grammar lesson every day!  Note cards are a great way to maintain and sort information and ideas for your writing projects. For individual projects, use index cards to record quotes, sources used, or sentences and paragraphs of your own that you intend to include in your writing. Having elements on separate cards helps you organize your writing more effectively.Keeping a library of ideas, thoughts, quotes, statistics, or any pieces of information you find interesting is a great way to generate new ideas for writing. You can categorize your note cards by subject (cars, sports, art, etc.), type (quote, paragraph, reference), or you can develop a categorization system of your own. For fun, try drawing two cards at random from different categories and comparing them--often you'll find relationships between ideas you hadn't thought of before. (Learn more about effective writing in English--take an Essay, Business or Technical writing course.)

Recipes Part 2 – Cooking
Charades Level: Pre-Intermediate to Advanced Materials: None In part one we introduced basic vocabulary for writing and following recipes.
Once students have mastered this target language, divide them into small teams
and have each team write one or two short recipes (keeping their recipes a
secret from the other teams). In turns, each team will choose one member to act out the preparation of the
dish for the class, step by step. The other teams have to guess the dish, as
well as accurately describe the steps along the way, based only on the
performer’s actions. Generally, one point for each step and three points for guessing the dish
works well.  Visit EnglishOnline.net’s Idiom-of-the-Day and Word-of-the-Day pages to learn a new TOEFL™ idiom and vocabulary word every day, then practice what you’ve learned in each NetLetter.TOEFL™ Idioms
