English phrases to use at a pub - Its my shout! - English Lesson via Skype
English phrases to use at a pub - Itâs my shout! - English Lesson via Skype We have discussed the origins of a âpubâ and the terms used to describe the interior. Here are some English phrases and words you might hear on your next visit to a typical Pub. For many years the only order you would hear is Iâll have a pint please. So beer or stout (much darker in colour and brewed differently) were drunk in pint or half pint glasses or measures and that is still the case today.However, the biggest change that I have witnessed is the bottle. Now you are as likely to hear:-Iâll have a bottle please or a bottle of beer-Which would you like? Heineken or Bud?-No, I will have a Coors please. -In a glass? -No, by the neck.By the neck means without a glass; so many people now drink without a glass.Here are some other common or likely English phrases and words on your next visit to a pub:Just put it on my tab please if the bar owner knows you and you are ordering a lot of drinks they may allow you to accumulate the orders and pay for them at the end of the night.Just put it on my card if you are celebrating a special event you might arrange with the barman to leave your credit card behind the bar and tell him each time you order a drink. At the end of the night he gives you the bad news!!The drinks are on me If you are celebrating promotion or a birthday you might buy a drink for everyone in the bar or your close friends.Iâll get the first round or I think its your round next? A round or a round of drinks means a drink for everyone in your group. Its customary for someone to buy the first round and then someone else buys the next round and so on.Itâs my shout! This means Iâll buy the drinks. We use shout because in a busy bar or pub you often have to shout at the barman to get his attention and place (give) your order.At the end of the night it is traditional for the barman to shout last orders. Ladies and gentlemen last orders please!. In the UK pubs used to close at 11 or 11.30 pm so the barman would shout last order s 10 or 15 mins before closing. The licence does not permit him to sell alcohol after closing time. However, the authorities usually allow drinking up time a short period after closing to allow you to finish your drink.Have you know homes to go to! A very common phrase heard at the end of the night when the barman is trying to get everyone out and start his cleaning.Regrettably pubs have changed dramatically. Now they serve more food than alcohol and the old traditional pubs are disappearing. They can still be found in villages and towns with the locals occupying the same seat everyday.In many cases they are a social club where elderly neighbours get a chance to gossip and chat. Enjoy your next visit. Cheers!More words and phrases can be found in my post A visit to the pub
Yeah! It`s Friday!!
Yeah! It`s Friday!! Today it`s Friday! I cannot wait for the weekend to come. It`s the last weekend of the summer 2015 and I am planning to spend it at the beach! My husband and I are going to the beautiful Huntington Beach, California. Looks like a nice way to spend the last weekend of summer. Hope it will be sunny! The question to all our tutors â"What are your plans for the last weekend of the summer?

Reviewing Your Childs Standardised Test Scores
Reviewing Your Childâs Standardised Test Scores Standardised testing occurs at predictable intervals during your child's school journey. These tests provide a snapshot of how much knowledge a student has acquired by a certain point and also how this level of skill and knowledge compares to other students of the same age. This comparison is often further broken down into how your child fares in relation to similarly situated students in his or her own school, school district, and throughout the nation. When reviewing this information you may have many questions about what your child's scores mean in practical terms for your response in the short-term and for your planning in the future. Understanding how the test scores relate to the teaching available to your son or daughter and how your child is responding to the learning environment is crucial for you to best support your child. Purpose of the testing Understanding the reasons for the testing can help you assess your student's performance. The test scores within a school can give you valuable information about the challenges schools face locally and how well they are meeting those challenges. Once you have a grasp of the performance of your student's peers at several different levels, then you have a better feel for how your child's scores compare. You can next look more closely at his or her scores for information about competence and growth. Communicate with teacher and school Schedule a time to discuss your child's test performance with someone who can explain both what the test reveals about your child and what other measures are in place to measure his or her growth. Spend some of that time reviewing your child's score and exploring what it means to school officials. Find out how the teacher and school intends to use the score and whether they are concerned about your child's showing. If your child did well, ask for suggestions to challenge your child to continue the growth. If the score is lower, talk about whether the performance was to be expected given what the school knows about your student and what they have planned to accelerate academic growth. Look at the big picture Ask to see other indicators of your child's progress, which may be hard to translate into a test score. Does your child show growth in the arts or social skills that gives you a more complete idea of how learning is progressing? Is there a gap between the knowledge and skills your child can demonstrate in the classroom and the test results? Problem solve with school officials if the test results are lower than what had been expected given classroom performance. Discuss the school's approach for test preparation and ask if there are things you can be doing at home to improve the score during the next round. Use the scores for good Whether your student scored below, at, or above expectations, use the test and result to improve your child's overall learning experience. Once you have a baseline for your student, keep in mind one of the best indicators going forward is how he or she performs in the future compared to that snapshot. If your child needs help on the next test or in general, seek resources from the school or ELSEWHERE. If your child is already soaring far beyond his or her peers, use this knowledge to enrich both home and school life for continued growth and success.
How to Bond with Your Coworkers
How to Bond with Your Coworkers via Pexels.com Do you want your coworkers to like you, or do you need your coworkers to tolerate you? For some people, work is work. Its kept separate from their personal life. For others, work is work, but crosses-over with their personal life. This can be a tough boundary to set, and a dangerous one if you cross it. For instance, I know several people who enjoy going out with their coworkers on the weekends. However, walking in on Monday morning and facing the people you got crazy with on Friday night can be pretty unsettling. When its your friends, its not so bad. But when its people you have to deal with in your professional life, its much harder to face. Are you wanting your workplace to also serve as your friend base? Its a tough call do you want your coworkers to be your friends, or do you want to keep your personal life distant? Are you wanting to be friends with all of them on Facebook? Are you hoping you only see them Monday Friday during business hours? Deciding whether or not you want your coworkers to be actual friends is a tough one. But regardless of where you draw your boundary line, it is likely that you want to be able to work well with your coworkers. Most of the time, we want to bond with our coworkers in a way that will make us the most productive. If youre someone whos looking for ways to get closer to the people you work with, here are some options: via Pexels.com 1. Set up a time to volunteer together. Spending time working for a common cause is sure to bring people closer together. If youre looking for a way to become closer to your coworkers, coordinate a volunteer event. Theres nothing better than giving your time to help others. It will also give you the opportunity to experience each other in a different setting. Instead of being in the workplace, youll be working together to benefit others. 2. Schedule a professional development workshop. When we all get better at what we do, it pushes us toward a common goal. If you want to become closer to your coworkers, give yourself (and them!) the opportunity to get better at your (their) craft. When coworkers invest in the same goals, they are more likely to have more in common and feel more inclined to cheer each other on. 3. Plan an after-hours get together. Play laser tag, meet for dinner and drinks, or embark on a Go-Kart racing adventure. Giving your coworkers the opportunity to have fun together and get to know each other in a different light will surely bring you all closer together. After a few events with each other, youll be surprised how much closer-knit you feel to your coworkers. Be careful. The more you intermingle your personal and professional life, the messier things can get. (Precisely why people say not to dip your pen in the company ink, I suppose.) When you decide to cross this boundary, you decide to mix two separate parts of your life. While this isnt a bad thing, you should be aware that its happening, and you should be ready for what that entails. If theres one piece of advice I can give you for bonding with your coworkers, its to make your workplace an environment where people want to come every day. If you feel comfortable, take it upon yourself to create ugly sweater days, organize a game of Secret Santa, or randomly leave thank-you notes for your coworkers around the office. When people are unhappy at work, their productivity goes down, and theyre more likely to leave the company/profession. So while your relationships with coworkers are important, you have to make the decision about where you stand on your coworkers being a part of your personal life.
5 Easy Tips to Prepare for Standardized Testing Season
5 Easy Tips to Prepare for Standardized Testing Season 5 Easy Tips to Prepare for Standardized Testing Season Help your child become a confident and prepared test-taker. For most around the country, the month of March kicks-off standardized testing season and that can leave parents feeling overwhelmed. Whether you have a grade schooler preparing for the stateâs standardized test or a high schooler preparing for the SAT, testing can be stressful for the entire family. We hope this will help you start planning a few months out. Thereâs no secret formula when it comes to passing a standardized test. Itâs important to remember that anxiety may hinder performance for the test taker, so take a deep breath and read through a few practical tips to help your child prepare for standardized assessments. Take practice tests. Many Department of Education state websites offer practice tests, which can help prepare children with understanding the test expectations, including the content and mechanics. SBAC and PARCC give assessments in many states and offer good examples of practice tests. If the test format seems familiar on test day, kids are more likely to feel comfortable and know what to do. Promote a positive attitude. Parents should promote a positive attitude towards learning and testing. Kids need to take tests seriously and be strategic, but also feel confident and mentally prepared. Parents can help children feel prepared for the test by encouraging children to visualize success on test day. In other words, ask children to close their eyes and imagine themselves taking the test and feeling great about it. Discuss what to do if you finish early. Sometimes kids finish the test early. Itâs important to discuss that this is a good opportunity to double check and verify their answers for accuracy. Parents can coach them to review certain questions that were hard and use the process of elimination to rule out some of the answer choices. Eat well, exercise and rest. In the weeks leading up to the test, it is important for students to have adequate sleep (eight hours is recommended), eat balanced meals, drink plenty of water, and get exercise. Foods high in protein, and water help to stimulate the brain. Exercise, such as stretching and walking, helps to supply the brain with oxygen. Eating a healthy breakfast before school, particularly on the day of the test, gives the body the fuel it needs to maintain long periods of concentration. Plan enjoyable and relaxing activities. Trying to squeeze a little more preparation in immediately before the test is not advised because it can lead to feeling overwhelmed. Studying the day before or day of the test leads to increased anxiety and should be avoided. Instead, plan enjoyable activities to feel relaxed and ready.

Now, drums are an integral part of many different music styles, from big band to jazz and blues to the complicated drum solos of rock bands and heavy metal.Perhaps you are one of the growing number of people fascinated by the art of drumming and eager to learn how to play drum rolls, a paradiddle, a flam or drum fills. If so, then this is the post for you.what styles of music you like, and see what type of drum is appropriate for it.Do you like the drum beats of traditional ethnic music, such as African drums, Aborigine or Native American music? Even here there are different styles of drumming, from hand drums to frame drums to standing drums played with sticks. Do you prefer the soft sound of hand drumming? The steady beat of a drumstick?Is European classical music more your forte? Look into the deep, reverberating tones of the timpani and orchestral bass drum or learn the hand cymbals.Do you like traditional folk music? You might want to look into the Irish bodhran or the large snare drums used in drum and fife.Want to join a marching band? You can choose between tuned bass drums, marching snares and other portable versions of your favourite percussion instrument.Latin music is played on conga drums, bongos or octobans.Enjoy big band, jazz or rock? Congratulations. A full drum set will set you back quite a bit but will offer the most options in varying the sound of your playing.Are you a lover of electronic music? Learn to use an electronic drum set.The first step to starting drum lessons is to figure out what kind of drum you want to play. Photo credit: Experimental Percussion Theatre on Visualhunt.comYou should also think about why you are learning the drums. Do you want to play in a jazz band? Become well-rounded as a music teacher? Improve your understanding of rhythm? Work on your hand-eye coordination? Simply jam on your own to the DVD of your favourite drummers? This will influence how often and how intensely you should take drum lessons and practise your craft.What will your first drum lesson be like?What will be covered in your first drum lesson once you learn how to play the drum will depend greatly on the teacher. However, you might want to talk to them about their classes in general:What will they be teaching? Will they also cover musical theory? Will you be learning how to read drum notation or tabs?How do they structure their lessons? A warm-up, some theory, exercises in drum rudiments, then a song to study?How soon will you be learning drum songs? Right away or do they prefer to have you drum to songs once youâve reached intermediate level?What sort of learning assistance can they offer? Do they have a metronome and drum practice pad you can borrow so you can play at home?Do th ey offer a free video lesson showing you how to improve your flams or other rudiments?Will you be exploring different styles of drumming?I found just the drum teacher I was looking for at Superprof, without even googling drum lessons London!What Drum Gear Do You Need?Though you may be able to borrow some drum gear at first, itâs usually best to have your own instrument. This means that, first and foremost, you are going to need:A drum.Drum beaters such as drumsticks, brushes, mallets etc. (unless you are learning the hand drum).If you are learning on a drum kit, you have two options. You can start with a junior drum kit of:One bass drumOne snare drumOne hanging tom-tomOne or two different cymbalsA drum throne.Or you can go for a more advanced drum set with several toms (any combination of hanging toms and floor tom, depending on what kind of music you want to play) and any combination of cymbals - crash cymbal, ride cymbal, China cymbal... If you are going for a more complete kit, you again have two options:Buy separate stands for all your snares, toms and cymbals. This is slightly more versatile, letting you place things exactly as you like them, but takes up a lot of floor space and is liable to wander out of place due to the vibrations when playing. Also, setting up and taking it back down is a pain.Get a drum rack. If you are willing to put in a few pounds more, you can get an expandable rack where you can add modules as you need them. You can get fairly accurate placement if - once more - you invest a little in boom arms for the cymbal racks. You can also attach microphones to your drum rack to record your practice sessions and improve your drumming.Drum pedals are among the many accessories you might need to learn to play the drums. Photo credit: Hapshaw on Visual HuntHow to Find the Ideal Drum TeacherItâs always important when acquiring a new skill to have the right teacher when learning how to play the drums, this means finding someone you can real ly synch with. If you and your drum teacher understand each other, it will mean better progress. But how can you know if a drum teacher is right for you?Drum schools vs. private drumming lessonsYou can learn how to play drums either in a music school or have a private tutor come to your home or go to theirs. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Drum schools have more facilities, often have drum sets or other instruments available to borrow and practice rooms for rent for those who cannot play the drums at home. Home tutors are practical because you can use your own drum set and only have to coordinate your schedule with that of your drum teacher, without having to see if a room is free or being tied down to a specific time.Some drum schools have drum kits you can use in class or borrow for practice. Photo credit: JustinsPics on Visualhunt.comFinding a drum teacher near youIf you want to learn to play drums, you will need to find a school or teacher not too far away. Bef ore you give your first drum solo, you will need to learn rhythm, drum fills, the right way to beat with the sticks, how to use a hi-hat or bass drum pedal. And that means finding just the right drum instructor.Whether schools or private tutors, most will offer taster lessons. Most of our Superprof tutors offer their first lesson for free; schools usually either have open days, free lessons or taster lessons at reduced prices. This is not only for you to see if learning how to play the drums is really for you, but also to make sure you respond well to the teacherâs method and manner.When looking for private drum teachers, you can, of course, look at tutoring websites such as Superprof. Superprof offers the advantage of a detailed page for every tutor detailing their experience as a musician, any diplomas they might having and offering a space for students to leave comments.You can also consider going to your local college if they offer music programmes and see if any music student s are offering lessons. Look on their corkboards or put up your own flyer expressing your interest in drum lessons.The advantage of music students is that they are cheaper and, because they are still at school, still remember what itâs like to learn drum rudiments. They are perfect for beginner drum learners, but as you advance you may need to turn to a more experienced teacher.Getting a diploma in drummingIf you want to become a professional drummer, you should consider getting a diploma in Musical Performance. The higher education course will be not only concerned with getting the right beat on the double bass drum but also with fundamental notions of music theory - not just reading music but the basics of syncopation, polyrhythm and all the theoretical constructs that will help you improve your drumming.They will be more intense than private lessons - you will be entirely focused on improving your strokes and drum patterns, practising several hours a day.Drum performance course s are usually 3-4 years for a BA.If you want to become a professional drummer, consider getting a diploma. Photo credit: Neil. Moralee on Visual huntHow Much Do Drum Lessons Cost?If you want to learn how to play the drums, you must be prepared to pay. The price of lessons depends on where you are and how experienced your teacher is.Drum schools vary greatly in the length of lessons (ranging from 30 minutes to an hour), but average around £17 per half hour.Private drum lessons can cost anywhere from £15 an hour to £35.University courses cost about £9,000 per annum.Ready to start learning the drums?
