About three weeks ago, I was looking for some English lessons here and I have come across yours. There are many clips teaching you English but this is one of the best. The male teacher, whom I have forgotten the name, has very natural voice and attitude and an authentic English person you can meet on the streets of UK. I am glad, I have found you. I have learnt three languages but English is the hardest of all them. I am looking forward to really improve my English here. All the best

I wish I’d found this fantastic RU-vid channel earlier in my English learning journey because there’s a lot of informative free content for learners at different levels which is like an all-in-one package for me to enhance my English knowledge with. If I’d spent more of my time looking for good learning materials, I would’ve been more fluent in English by now. Anyway, thank you so much for making these amazing videos! Best wishes

When I was 7 years old, I broke my right arm. I never had broken a bone. My parents, my brothers and I went to a river beach in Amazon forest, more specifically at "Pajuçara", a place knowed by its ravines. My brother and two of my cousins slipped for play at one ravine and I followed them. The rest of story is with your imagination.
@Oxfordonlineenglish1

Thanks for sharing, Alan. Here are a few suggestions: 1) '...in the Amazon forest,' not, '...in Amazon forest'. 2) '...more specifically, Pajuçara, a place...' not, '......'.more specifically at "Pajuçara", a place 3) '...a place known for its ravines,' not, '...a place knowed by its ravines'. Hope this is useful for you!

Thank you for the explanation. The use of all the verb forms is clear because it is illustrated with examples from everyday life. A story I am a school teacher, and last year my students and I had to participate in a contest of plays between schools of our district. I had already taken part in such a contest with "The Country Mouse and the Town Mouse" a year before but then my students didn't win. I've chosen "Three Little Pigs" for the last year contest. The preparation was full of adventures. To start with, we had been looking for a piece of theatrical scenery in the school costume room and found it in another place. Then some children just didn't learn the lines. They did it the day before the performance. Finally, some actors were forgetting to do their movements to the music. But we received a lot of help. The mother of one of the students has sewn the costumes. My colleague helped with the choreography. In the result we have won the first prize.
