Mr.Leo's Mini-English Lesson#4---and Review

We started our class today with two idioms: "fit as a fiddle" (and Megumi was not feeling fit as a fiddle, was she?)-----and I forget the other one. We did some exercises with prepositions, some work with modal auxilliaries, a conversation period about relatives, and a vocabulary building exercise with our good friend, Mr. Bean. That was a full schedule, wasn't it? I found the story about the burning of the doll in Ecuador on New Year's Eve interesting. I would like to know more about it.........Ecuador?....It is your turn.
Tomorrow part of our class will be about modal auxilliaries again. You will have practice with using a modal with the word "to" and without the word "to". Example: I should go to school; I ought TO go to school......We will also have practice with using "can" and "could" to show ability. Examples: I can fix a broken faucet......When I was a child, I could play Giant Steps but now I have forgotten how the game is played. No Mr. Bean tomorrow, but a nice lesson using the English Club website.-------------And now two messages for two classmates: Megumi, come back to class when you are feeling "IN THE PINK". Etsuko will keep the material for you.........Second message: Evgjeni, come in early if you can and show me that lesson on English Club that you think is so good.........Pleasant dreams.
