Learning a new language is difficult and boring. Every student learns differently, and it’s important to find a study method that is right for YOU. I want to put the fun back into studying English with two methods that are fun and which make learning easier and quicker! In this lesson, I will teach you how to make connections between words in order to remember them more easily. I will also reveal my hidden poet talents, so you don’t want to miss this one!
The apparition of these faces in the crowd:
Petals on a wet, black bough.

Here is another verse written by the same poet.

***
MEDITATIO
When I carefully consider the curious habits of dogs
I am compelled to conclude
That man is the superior animal.
When I consider the curious habits of man
I confess, my friend, I am puzzled.
(Ezra Pound)

Hi~ so, in the start of video the first method used by James is the >gap< between two words,remember? in the first example it was between the words tree and chair ^^ you can choose five words, for example, to create a sentence that makes sense and put in the gap

A quick and silly 1 to 5 poem, but it is another that shows how enjoyable is playing with words :)
Thanks a lot for that fun lesson. I got 8 out of 10. I don’t understand why “falls” is wrong in the nine sentence. May be if I had written “falls down”, it’ll be right. Thank you to make my question clear. Keep it up, your lessons are very useful for mastering my English. Have a good day. Marie-Claude
mclaude
there should be 2 words to fill the gap)) Just the same template as he shows in video. 1 word on the first line. two on the second and so on.
