ESL 4 LEVENT

 Dear Levent, Since there has been a lot of materials to work on and to consume, I am reluctant to accumulate more. That's why I am just adding a few karaoke songs for you to view and sing, and reforwarding the link of Spotify suggestions. You should click on youtube links to be able to watch them, because the owners don't allow to embed them inside blog pages. So, please click on the link "Watch on Youtube". Englishman in New York: Shape of My Heart: Killing Me Softly: Moon River: Fly me to the Moon: Sweet Dreams: And please remember to check the shortlist of Spotify podcasts here: https://esl4levent.blogspot.com/2022/06/assignment-24-spotify-podcasts-for-road.html All the best, Aren

Leventcim, You both may be interested in listenning to the following podcasts on your way back home. They must be at your level, however, you can translate and describe the sentences and vocabulary to Ebru too, so she can understand too.  EASY NATURAL ENGLISH WITH LIAM UNDERSTANDABLE ENGLISH - OLIVER BBC LEARNING ENGLISH NEWS REVIEW BBC 6 MINUTE VOCABULARY BBC 6 MINUTE ENGLISH BBC LEARNING ENGLISH DRAMA Of course there is a lot more than this shortlist at the following page: https://esl4levent.blogspot.com/p/resources.html All the best, Aren

Leventcim hi!  You can find vocabulary and expressions for Airport/Travel English from easy to difficult here.  The following is the list named as "Travel Survival Expressions" from Vanessa. There are 7 videos in it. Please watch them all, starting with the 1st of them.   Good luck! Aren

 Dear Levent, I am sure these videos about basics of English will be very useful for your learning. Good luck with them! Good luck! Aren

Leventcim Good Morning! I loaded quite a few videos and study materials for you to dwell on last week, that's the reason I stopped sending additional assignments. I know that you have a very limited time.  How about this? One week we focus on Grammar, and another week we shift focus on Vocabulary. So that you can enrich your knowledge and skills quickly. You may take the opportunities on job to use new grammatical rules and words, phrases, phrasals step by step as we progress.  This week we carry on with phrases from beginner to advanced, since we did Grammar las week. Please check the explanations beneath the videos too. Here we go: Even though they may seem advanced, I know that you will bump into many of these expressions in real life. I recommend that you pick up the ones that you quickly start using in your daily conversations, and also gain familiarity to those you find more advanced at your level.  Have a wonderful week, and see you at 9 tonight. Aren

 Leventcim, I have recorded and uploaded "Sherlock Holmes - The Blue Diamond" into Google Drive. Please listen to the story as it should be enjoyable and fun, and then extract the vocabulary and repeat the sentences loudly as you listen.  Sherlock Holmes - Google Drive Have a perfect weekend in Marmaris and dance as much as you can. Aren

 Leventcim hi, I am sending you the following 2 videos about Modal Verbs which are actually part of more Advanced English. Even native speakers sometimes confuse how to use them properly. There are times that using many of these model verbs suits at the same time, but one can be slightly better than the others depending on context or the meaning that the speaker wants to give.  I feel obliged to dwell on this subject because I see your curiosity about it which is a very good thing for a learner. I recommend you to use what you learn here very often and despite having mistakes carry on trying as much as you can.  See you at 21:00 today. Best, Aren

 Leventcim hi! Please check the video below as it compares all Future Tenses very well, apart from Compound Future. This gentleman is very good at describing and simplifying grammar structures.  And the following video comes from Arnel. She explains  CAN | COULD | BE ABLE TO One of the my costumer going to come tomorrow and they will back tomorrow night , so can we do it our  lessson on Tuesday ? One of my customers is coming to İzmir tomorrow and he will return at night. Can we postpone our meeting to Tuesday? All the best, Aren

Leventcim hi! I wonder if you feel comfortable when you listen to the following recording. Its level sounds a little higher than yours, however, this is a very realistic conversation that you may witness in England. - Please give a try without reading the text first. Only listen! - Please take a note of the difficulties you have, and report them.  - After then you can read and listen the content at the same time.  - Now, please repeate the content loudly and record your voice and listen to yourself.  - Listen to the audio one more time, and focus on pronunciation and intonation. - Finally, read the text loudly and record your voice and listen to yourself for the last time.  All the best, Aren

Dear Levent, Please find below the improved version of the message. It should be enough although it could be better. That work was really stresful for both Turabi and me. We insisted on it and fortunately succeeded in the end.  He blamed himself first, but I told him that it was not his fault and that I understood him, however, we had to continue and finalize the job. So he did it.   Please watch the video about reported speech.  The following video is much more comprehensive. You can watch this one too if you have time.  Best, Aren

Dear Levent, I am sending you a few videos on using prepositions. I hope you enjoy them. This is a very important topic, after watching and practicing them, you will start to use them with more precision. In order to be able to write confidently, we need to successfuly cover all these subjects. Please don't rush. This assignment will take 2 days for you.  HOMEWORK 1 Please listen to the videos and repeat the examples loudly as you watch. Try to use each preposition in sentences or phrasals(Group of words). HOMEWORK 2 Please read the explanations and do the exercises in Essential Grammar in Use, from Unit 103 to 113, i.e. Prepositions. The first thing to watch is a playlist of Prepositions from Nick Sheppard, an experienced English teacher. Nick uses animations and lots of pictures in order to make the topics clear and understandable.  NICK SHEPPARD - PREPOSITIONS PLAYLIST All the best, Aren

Hello Leventcim! In order to benefit from the interactivity of our studying style, I start to focus on your technical mistakes and help you to improve your grammar and vocabulary knowledge.  Yesterday in your comments you wrote: Hi Aren , ı am trying to comments not , I have already download chrome and now it is working. The correct sentence should be: Hi Aren, I am trying to make comments. (Comment is a "plural noun" here) Or I am trying to comment. (Comment is a "verb" here) I have already downloaded chrome and now it works. ( Download is the 1st form and downloaded is the 3rd form, which you must use in present perfect tense. "Works" is the present simple form which is much better here instead of present continuous tense.)  I studied first 10 unit which is elementary of gramer in use on yesterday . ıt was very easy and elementary of vocabulary in use as weel , so ı will check only gramer in use hopefully ı will finish soon . I studied the first 10 unit...

 Dear Levent, Today's subject is about daily expressions and small talks. I recommend that you repeat as you listen and that you take notes in your notebook, so that you become more familiar by using what you learn here.  These videos and tastks will probably fill your 45 minutes.  Good luck with them!

 Leventcim good morning! Today I am sending you daily video feeds for vocabulary. I hope you enjoy them. Please try to write them down in your notebook. You can either write the same sentences in the videos or make your own sentences.  Just a reminder from yesterday's brief on our meeting. #8  8 - Şimdi bana planlamanı gönderebilirsen memnun olurum.

 Dear Levent, Today the cleaner lady has come, that's the reason I lingered a bit. I think that you will be interested in the following video, it grabbed me a lot.  Please write down your observations and comments about the content. Who are these guys?
