One more game! ^^

I have just found this awesome game. It's a flash minigame, and can be used as a practice for your irregular past forms lessons. Just pick the right form of past tense for the verb given, and each correct answer will fuel the rocket. Go and launch your rocket now!
It also provides you with the usage of the word.
Once the fuel gauge are full, the rocket will take off!

I'm really hoping that these games will make you more interested in learning grammar and doing exercises. Go try them now!

Homework ^^

Time to have some practice! On the last entry I did write about the irregular forms of past tenses. Here are my suggestions for the exercises that you might want to do on this topic.

If you are looking for questions that you can answer and get corrected on the spot, you can try these link
If you want exercises that you can print and show to your teacher, try downloading these exercises.

More game time! Yes!!

It is the last day of the year. I'm not in the mood to teach anything today. Maybe I'll play some games. But games are not the most beneficial things for us to do, especially if we want to improve our grammar. Maybe we can try reading? Yes. Reading is good. However, reading can be boring too. Is there a way that you can do both, playing a game while reading a book?

Actually you can. Have you heard of the term gamebooks? No? Thank you for making me feel very old. Gamebook was very popular in the 1980s. It is actually a book, but allows the reader to participate in the story by making effective choices to determine their own ending. It is like playing a role playing game (RPG), but the graphics and sounds are replaced by sentences. To play it, the readers need to choose the pages to go next. However, with the advancement of technology, there is no longer the need to flip pages.

I always enjoyed playing RPG, so I'm going to share with you an awesome website. Fighting Fantasy Project
In this website, you can choose to play (or to read) from over 30 gamebooks of different genres.

After you have chosen which one to play, you will have to choose your attributes first, just like playing most RPG. Then, it's hammer time!



Hopefully, apart from having fun whacking monsters and aliens, you will also learn something out of this. Look at the sentence structures! Identify them with the grammar rules that you have learned, be it here or in class.

Now who says that playing games is a waste of time?

All play and no work makes us very happy ^^

Previously we have learn a thing or two about adjectives. Since all of you have an idea on the topic, its time to play a game!

I found this when I was surfing around the web aimlessly one day (believe me!) It is actually a game where you can choose between three roles in a newspaper company. All you have to do is read the description given and choose the right person for the article.
you can play it by clicking this link Yay! It's play time!
Here is a bit of a preview.
 

You can also explore the webpage, as the page provides you with an introduction video on the topic, and also some exercises for different levels.

Not interested in those games? Try these other games.
Feeding flies to the right spider careful, they might bite your finger!
