Woke up this morning with this yellow thing in the sky. OMG, it was the sun! So that's what that thing looks like. :-) It didn't last long, only about two hours. However, it was still nice enough to go out and take pictures of the budding flowers and trees by our flat.
The other day I told you I updated our channels on TV and found new programs in English and several music channels. Today we discovered it was only a promotion to buy special packages for those programs and they have all disappeared now. German, French and Spanish channels can be found but only English news channels from England. With English language required now in schools it seems rather ridiculous not to have some normal programs on TV to help people hear and learn the language. Schools certainly do not do enough to promote speaking the language, they only emphasize grammar and passing tests. Those may be enough but if you can't speak the language what good do they do? I know teenagers who have studied 6-7 years of English but can barely say a complete sentence in English.
Dzi臋ki Tory i Linda za komentarzy. Mi艂o jest, kiedy czytelniki daje o sobie zna膰.
Kiedy obudzi艂em si臋 dzi艣 rano, na niebie by艂a ta „偶贸艂ta rzecz”. O, m贸j Bo偶e, to s艂o艅ce! A wi臋c tak ono wygl膮da. :) S艂o艅ce d艂ugo nie 艣wieci艂o, tylko oko艂o dw贸ch godzin. Ale by艂o na tyle przyjemnie, aby wyj艣膰 i zrobi膰 zdj臋cia p膮kom kwiat贸w i drzewom obok naszego bloku.
Niedawno m贸wi艂em, 偶e zaktualizowa艂em nasze kana艂y w telewizji i znalaz艂em nowe programy w j臋zyku angielskim i kilku kana艂贸w muzycznych. Dzisiaj odkryli艣my, 偶e to tylko by艂a promocja, aby kupi膰 specjalne pakiety tych program贸w, a teraz wszystkie one znikn臋艂y z ekranu. Mo偶na znale藕膰 kana艂y niemieckie, francuskie i hiszpa艅skie, ale tylko kana艂 English News z Anglii. Skoro j臋zyk angielski wymagany jest teraz w szko艂ach, wydaje si臋 do艣膰 艣mieszne, aby nie by艂o jaki艣 normalnych program贸w w telewizji, aby pom贸c ludziom s艂ucha膰 i uczy膰 si臋 j臋zyka. Szko艂y na pewno nie robi膮 wystarczaj膮co du偶o, aby promowa膰 m贸wienie w innym j臋zyku, one tylko podkre艣laj膮 wag臋 gramatyki i zdawania test贸w. To mo偶e wystarczy膰, ale je艣li nie m贸wisz w danym j臋zyku, to jaka korzy艣膰 z powy偶szych? Znam nastolatk贸w, kt贸rzy ucz膮 si臋 angielskiego od 6-7 lat, ale ledwo mog膮 powiedzie膰 pe艂ne zdanie w j臋zyku angielskim.
