A Motivational Story on Power Point by Bro. Oh Teik Bin, Persatuan Buddhist Hilir Perak to help us grow in the LIFE LESSONS of gratitude, kindness, compassion ....
The document tells a story using three pots as metaphors for how people can respond to difficulties in life. The first pot contains carrots that soften when boiled, representing those who become weak when facing problems. The second pot holds eggs that harden inside when boiled, symbolizing those who become bitter and hardened. The third pot contains coffee beans that change the water, depicting people who use challenges to improve themselves and their environment. The moral is that when faced with troubles, one should strive to grow stronger rather than weaker or more cynical, like the coffee beans.
The document shares a message of friendship and appreciation for the positive impact one can have on others. It expresses that the recipient is special and important to others, reminding them that their kindness and communication has brought smiles and gladness to people during sad times. The writer is grateful for the friendship and hopes the recipient has a great day.
This document discusses basic English phonetics. It begins by explaining why the study of phonetics is important, as English pronunciation and spelling differ and knowledge of phonetics allows one to pronounce new words. It then defines phonetics as the study of human speech and discusses the International Phonetic Alphabet used to represent sounds. The document goes on to explain English vowels and diphthongs, as well as consonants. It notes differences between pronunciations of British and American English. The document also discusses stress, connected speech, and some main difficulties for Spanish speakers in pronouncing English sounds.
The four candles of Peace, Faith, Love, and Hope burn slowly in an ambient room. Peace goes out as its flame diminishes, saying no one keeps it lit. Faith goes out next in a soft breeze, feeling it is no longer indispensable. Love speaks of losing strength as people set it aside and forget to love others, then goes out. A child enters and cries seeing the unlit candles. Hope says it can relight the others while it still burns, and the child uses Hope's flame to reignite Peace, Faith, and Love. The story conveys that Hope should never go out and we should help others maintain Hope, Faith, Peace, and Love.
This document provides examples of conversations and activities to improve spoken English skills. It includes a dialogue where Rosy describes her friend Nancy to her uncle so he can pick her up from the train station. It also includes tasks to find descriptive words used in the dialogue and for students to describe someone else using provided words. The document provides additional conversation examples between friends discussing a cricket match, planning a trip to the police station, and booking a train ticket to practice conversational skills.

How to Learn English Grammar at Spoken English Classes in BangaloreAvinashi Singh
How to learn English grammar at spoken English classes in Bangalore is the key question for students here as they start learning spoken English fluency. If they give attention to grammar, the fluency gets a beating. On the other hand if they focus on fluency more, the grammatical structure of their sentences goes awry. It becomes a challenge for them to integrate the two in one single whole that takes care of their grammar as effectively as it does to their fluency in one single go.
It's not only fluency that the students have to take care of, along with taking care of their grammatical structures; but it's also the pronunciation, the accent, the stage fright that they are a victim to, the body language, the voice training and the most effective content to speak. They are not able to hold them all in one single basket and one gets neglected at the cost of the other.
What's the way out? How to integrate English grammar with spoken English fluency taking care of the pronunciation, the accent, the stage fright, the body language, the voice training and the most effective content to speak along by the students who have just started taking their lessons? How to structure the English expressions correctly as it comes to using nouns, determiners, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, and conjunctions in them? How to combine words to form different kinds of phrases including noun phrases, adjective phrases, adverb phrases, preposition phrases, and determiner phrases?
What the students get confused the most with is the use of the tense structures in their sentences that they frame. Next in complexity come the right usage of prepositions and the clause structures in complex sentences.
What we have done here in our spoken English classes in Bangalore to simplify the concern regarding how to learn English grammar without tears is that we make grammar as the very content of a fluent English conversation among the students. As they discuss about grammar among themselves or with their facilitator, they are right then and there corrected by anyone among the rest of the participants or by the facilitator without losing the thread of fluency in between the discussion. And the interesting procedure rectifying grammar keeps going on and on without disturbing the flow of the discussion in any way at all.
It becomes a game for the learners to enjoy rather than a strenuous exercise to stress about by them while speaking their content out of their mind in the open. It also takes care of their stage fright springing out of their wrong grammar usage; since by the very design of the playful content of the grammar discussion, they ARE supposed to make mistakes which provide further content for the other participants to carry it along.
This innovation has proved to be a game changer as far as the novice students' concern regarding how to learn English grammar at spoken English classes in Bangalore is concerned.
The document provides guidance for activities and techniques to promote speaking skills in English language learners. It recommends that teachers create a communicative classroom where students can engage in authentic tasks that require real-life communication, such as group discussions, role plays, simulations, information gaps, brainstorming, storytelling, interviews, story completions, class reporting, playing cards, picture sequencing/narrating, picture describing, and finding differences in pictures. The document also provides suggestions for teachers, such as providing opportunities for student speaking time, reducing corrections, involving speaking practice both in and out of class, and diagnosing individual student difficulties.
This document provides motivational messages and advice. It contains the following key points in 3 sentences:
Do not compare yourself to others as it will only insult you. Life presents problems but also solutions, so accept difficulties as they lead to success. While the past cannot change, one can always start now and work towards a better future.

The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Studies have shown that meditating for just 10-20 minutes per day can have significant positive impacts on both mental and physical health over time.
Motivation refers to factors that arouse, direct, and sustain human behavior. There are several theories of motivation, including drive theory which proposes that internal drives or needs push people towards goals, and incentive theory which suggests that external rewards or goals pull people to act. Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory also explains motivation and proposes that people are motivated to fulfill lower level basic needs before pursuing higher level growth needs. Managers can create a motivating work climate by setting clear expectations, being fair and consistent, developing teamwork, recognizing contributions, allowing autonomy and growth, and addressing individual needs and values.
The document provides descriptions of 36 different classroom activities for teaching English. The activities focus on a variety of language skills including vocabulary, grammar, speaking, and listening. Some example activities described are matching pictures to numbers, memorizing pictures, guessing covered parts of pictures, and playing games like hot potato and Simon says to reinforce vocabulary.
