In The Restaurant.
+ Waiter! There's a fly in my soup!
- Don't worry, sir. The spider on your bread will kill it.
+ Waiter! What's this fly doing in my soup?
- I think it's swimming, sir.
+ Waiter! What's this fly doing on my ice cream?
- I think it's learning to ski, sir.
+ Waiter! Your thumb is in my soup!
- Don't worry, sir. it's not very hot.
+ Waiter! I'll have coffee without milk, please.
- We haven't got any milk, sir. Would you like coffee without cream?
+ Waiter! This coffee tastes like soap!
- Ah, that must be tea, sir. The coffee tastes like glue.
+ Waiter! How long will my pizza be?
- It won't be long, sir. I'll be round.

Week #3 : Aural/Oral skills websites, Delicious & Project's 'big picture'
The third week kicked off with some of the aural/oral skill-enhancement articles to read and some websites to explore. The articles I went through are "The Employment of CALL in Teaching Second Language Speaking Skills", "Teaching Pronunciation to Adult English Language Learners", and "Some Techniques of Teaching Pronunciation". As to the Websites, the extraordinary ones are :
1. www.audioboom.com : provides amenities to record our voice and put it on line, to share the audio clip with friends, to send (receive) audio mails even to listen to daily and up to date news. visit my URL: https://audioboom.com/linarusli to share a voice.
2. www.onestopenglish.com : offers a wide range of English Learning and testing including all skills, also enable us to access thousands of learning resources, news lessons with topical articles, authentic audio materials. It also offers a solution to our teaching dilemma and even the chance of having our best teaching idea published with the lesson shared competition. However, this is not a 100% free site which I address as a 'Freemium' site (some are free and others are Premium). We have to be a member staff with USD 68 annual subscription fee to obtain an unlimited access. I plan to incorporate the materials from 'one stop English' especially the business lesson for my correspondence class and as well guide them to sign up for the audio boom's account so that they have some recordings to practice speaking and share them with peers and teachers for listening skills.
