School life

I think some of us in the forum are still studying at school as students like me. Therefore, I would like to create this topic in order to chat about everything happens in the school with others. Very Happy

Currently I am having my summer holiday. It makes me feel bored sitting at home all day round.
I have lost my motivation and strive in working on assignments and preparations. Mad

I actually get bored over the Summer too. But I try to exercise my mind everyday during it.

Jeopardy and Wiki. Thats how I do it. I get really bored and then just go off and read random facts.

I know the world-famous Wiki, but what is Jeopardy?

I am guessing you do not live in America?...or Canada? Well it is a "Answer-Question" game show hosted by Alex Trebek. The answers are given and the contestants must give the question.

You guessed it right. I am from Hong Kong.

That's fuuny. Razz

But one answer may create many questions, right?

Subject: Re: School life Tue Jul 29, 2008 1:53 am

Well they are very specific answers. Almost like the questions but not. It is sort of weird but a fun game to watch.

Can I watch it online?
I mean...is the programme published onto the Internet?

Subject: Re: School life Tue Jul 29, 2008 2:09 am

it isnt online, but here is a youtube video that shows two questions. I hope it explains more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLa4AzWFLJ8

I found it very interesting, but the questions are just too difficult for me.

And for question 1, two of the contestants got the anser right, but why they obtained different score?

Subject: Re: School life Tue Jul 29, 2008 2:19 am

because that is final jeopardy...the hardest questions and you make your own wager.

I love the music, it sounds soft and warm.

I have to finish 2 workbooks this holiday, and I've just finished one of them. Sad

Subject: Re: School life Tue Jul 29, 2008 2:29 am

o, I don't have to work over the summer. What time is it there? just wondering.

So jealous Mad

It is 4:44pm in Hong Kong now, according to my computer system.

Subject: Re: School life Tue Jul 29, 2008 2:47 am

Haha don't be jealous. My dad keeps giving me a hard time to get a job. Wow 4:44pm July 28?

Is working or studying better?

No,it is 4:44pm July 29.

Subject: Re: School life Tue Jul 29, 2008 2:52 am

Well since I don't have a job I guess studying is.

O, I thought you guys were behind the US.

Subject: Re: School life Tue Jul 29, 2008 2:56 am

Btw,do you have any suggestions for learning English?

I would like to read faster, write more fluently, speak more confidently and listen more carefully Wink

Subject: Re: School life Tue Jul 29, 2008 3:03 am

I wish I could say yes, but I don't think there are many better ways than just practicing. If English weren't my native language, I could be better help. But practicing is how i learned Spanish.

What do you mean by practising?
I mean, what are your ways of practising?

Subject: Re: School life Tue Jul 29, 2008 3:10 am

I would say just reading up on words, possibly reading the dictionary*cant believe i suggested that* and using it in everyday speaking.
