| I'm not sure about what it is that you want students to get from such a listening/reading. What's the purpose? |

Hi Bekari,
You need to click on the 'play' button. Before you do so, please make sure you have a software program installed on your computer that allows you to listen to MP3 files.
Best regards, Torsten

Hello Torsten Thank you once again very much for your text full of useful expressions! Because your story is so clearly told and leads us through many situations we all know very well or can easily imagine, we can take in the exact meaning of every preposition out of the context without any problems. But for me, there still remains a trouble: I would really wish to have them all "on the tip of my tongue"! In my language, we distinct between "active" and "passive" memorized vocabulary. We refer to the latter when we understand a word in a context even if we have almost (but not completely) forgotten it. And we refer to the first when we have it stored well and know it by heart, so that we are able to use it fluently in our daily conversations. Is there an equal term for this difference concerning memorized vocabulary in English? And is it a known fact how many times we have to repeat a word till it's part of our "active" vocabulary? In case someone knows I would appreciate an answer. Best regards Urs |

Hello dear reader of my last message
During the night I began to doubt whether I used the expression "on the tip of my tongue" in its proper meaning, and so looked it up in the CAL-dictionary. As I had suspected I was wrong: it's not "to know a word perfectly" but "to know it but not being able to recall it at the moment". To know a word or expression by heart / so well that you don't need to think about it, was what I wanted to say. Urs |

please kindly correct me if I'm wrong.
Fill the appropriate preposition into the below sentences:
1. We live in as house ... a flat roof. 2. The road rocked us ... side .. side
I think the answer is 1. with 2.from/to |

That's right but you have a typo in the first sentence (as instead of a).
(And strictly speaking the road didn't rock you from side to side... the road rocked from side to side (which meant whilst you were travelling on it you got rocked too.) _________________ Cheers m' dears! |
