Hello, my lovely people! Today we are going to explore some well-known animal proverbs in English. Proverbs are short expressions that transmit traditional wisdom and have been passed down from generation to generation. They often use animals, everyday situations or elements of nature to express ideas about life and human behaviour in a memorable way.

Hello, my lovely people! Today I’m bringing you an interactive activity to practise something very important in English: the difference between formal and informal language. Think about this: you don’t dress the same way for work as you do when you are at home with friends, right? Language works in a similar way. We don’t use the same expressions in a professional email as in a message to a friend. For example, it does not sound the same to say "Best regards" and "Cheers" , or "Could you tell me, please?" and "Hang on a sec." What is this game about? I have prepared a game called “Formal or Informal?” In this activity, you will classify common expressions according to the correct register. With this activity, you will: Recognise typical expressions from each register. Become more confident choosing the right tone. Communicate more naturally depending on the situation. ...
