The idea of going on with some more rules on grammar comes from several students. Their suggestion made me come back to that and I hope it will be a good help for a number of you.

May 2014 be the best year of your life!

Who ever saw my town today?
Wasn't it lovely?
What do you want more than that view?
Wasn't it quiet enough?
Did you ever spot any worried face?
Worries, troubles, sorrows, were there just a couple of days ago!
But today!?
No! Nothing like that!
There was joy on the air, across the whole town.

I wish everyone living here, especially my students, that days of 2014 bring only tears of joy in your eyes.

Hello there

To those students who have chosen me again to be their teacher for the coming year,

Dear students,

I want to thank you, via these few lines for choosing me to continue together learning English for the new season.I am very happy and pleased to have you all back again.

I won't let you down, not any of you!

I will do my best to be near each one. 

My feet haven't touched the ground since I got to know that some of my students have reached the highest school doors in the world.

I enter into my 31 year of teaching in my life and these years make me definitely be proud of the achievements of 2013 on the side of the students.

I wish everyone gets the best out of this new academic season.Take your time quietly and be happy. English will help you everywhere
