Eun Bi Go, a pre-intermediate student, wrote a poem today in class.  She first read a story about a boy who enjoyed sitting on the beach and playing with the sand.  Eun Bi chose words and phrases from the story that appealed to her and constructed them into a poem:

A Poem

Stones and shells

Look and look as far as . . .

Gaze up at the clouds

Beach nets

Idly throwing sand

Clouds

- Eun Bi Go

Eun Bi

When asked what feelings her poem conveyed, Eun Bi replied, “relaxing, peaceful, and lazy.”

Sometimes studying English can be difficult, frustrating, and boring.  Yet sometimes it can be fun, and even beautiful.

Sadly, Halloween is over and the winter months are approaching. Holiday decorations are appearing in the stores and streets of New York. Though we are halfway through November, these last Halloween pictures are too good to leave off the blog. Here are a few extra photos of EC New York students in Time Square outside the school. Don’t be fooled by their appearance! These devils, cats and vampires are actually diligent English students. (The horse costume wins for “most realistic”).

Last Friday afternoon the students and staff of EC had a party to honor America’s best loved costume holiday, Halloween!  Festivities included pizza, candy, a costume contest, viewing Michael Jackson’s Thriller video, learning the Thriller dance, and watching The Nightmare Before Christmas.  Most of the students were dressed up and everyone looked fantastic!
