Thanksgiving Day

Happy Thanksgiving Day in the US! I am sure many countries around the world have a similar holiday in which people remember the things that they are most thankful for. For me, I am grateful for every breath I take, the sun coming up in the morning, and most importantly, my family. What about you? What are you most thankful for? Share your thoughts.

Black Friday Shopping

Black Friday is quickly approaching in the United States (this year, on November 29th). But what is it? Watch my video on the topic and share any experiences you have had on this day. Personally, I never go because I don't want to fight the crowds, and my sanity is worth more than cheap electronics. Instead, I often run in the mountains. It's much more peaceful.

Christmas is Coming!

Because Christmas is only a month away, I thought I would start suggesting listening activities on my Web sites that deal with this topic. Here is the first one. I enjoy it because it has the voices of some of my children when they were much younger. Good practice of young, natural speech: http://esl-lab.com/tradition/traditionrd1.htm

Saving the Environment

I started my Web site 14 years ago at the end of 1997. So, what is the oldest listening activity on my site? Well, one of them is certainly one of my favorites called "Saving the Earth." I recorded with my daughter. My kids have contributed their voices over the years to make the site interesting to users.

College Roommates - esl-lab.com

Having a bad roommate can be an awful experience. Imagine someone who every cleans up, holds wild parties until the early morning hours, and eats all of your food. What would you do? How do you work through such situations? 

In my newest video activity, you can meet such a guy. Watch and then share your ideas on this.
