Let`s learn a new portmanteau!
Hi everyone! I am back with another portmanteau. We already learned what a portmanteau is last time, therefore I`m going to introduce "Cosplay". Did you know that cosplay is a combination of the words costume and play. Were you surprised that it was actually a portmanteau?. Although the term was coined by Nobuyuki Takahashi, it was Myrtle Rebecca Douglas Smith Gray Nolan who popularized the concept of cosplaying by attending a Science Fiction Convention in New York City dressed in “futuristic costumes”.
Now let`s learn how to use the portmanteau cosplay in different tenses:
Present Tense:
1. I cosplay with my friend, and it`s a great way to express my creativity.
Present Perfect Continuous Tense:
1. My friend and I have been cosplaying for 3 years now.
Past Continuous (Progressive) Tense:
1. I am cosplaying with a friend in an event.
Past Perfect Tense:
1. I cosplayed in an event last week and I won the first prize.
Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well. I`m back with a new exciting topic today. Have you ever heard of the word portmanteau? In the realm of linguistic, portmanteau is a creative way of combining words to form a new one, like "brunch" which is a blend of the the words breakfast and lunch.
Now that you have an idea on what portmanteaus are. Let`s learn our first portmanteau today. As what you`ve probably noticed from the title, our word for the day is "Hangry".
What is Hangry?
Hangry is a combination of the words hungry and angry. It describes a hunger-induced irritability that can turn even the kindest people into a snarling beast. This is also a common experience , often characterized by a sense of urgency to satisfy one`s hunger before the situation escalates.
Let`s delve into this fascinating slang term and find out about its quirks with a fun quiz!
Quiz Time:
How Hangry Are You?
1. What would be your reaction if someone invited you to eat but it`s already 3pm and you haven`t eaten since breakfast?
A. Relieved, that you can finally eat.
B. You decide to wait till dinner and prefer to eat at home.
C. Frustrated, because it triggered your hunger more.
2. Your stuck in traffic for 3 hours and your stomach is growling . What would be your mood?
A. Patient
B. Annoyed
C. Hangry
3. Your friend takes the last slice of sushi without asking. How would you react?
A. Not a big deal. It`s just a sushi.
B. A bit annoyed.
C. Irritated/ Very Angry
Result:
Mostly A`s- Congratulations! You are patient ,even in the face of hunger.
Mostly B`s- You`re moderately in between hungry and hangry so don`t forget to bring a snack with you.
Mostly C`s- Oh! Oh! You have the hangry in you. Be careful, and don`t let it get to you. Having a snackbar with you might help.

Hello Everyone I hope that you have been having a great week!
Today I would like to share some tongue twisters with you!

2) If a dog chews shoes, whose shoes does he choose? (x5)
3) Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
4) Betty Botter bought some butter
But she said the butter’s bitter
If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter
But a bit of better butter will make my batter better
So ‘twas better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter
5) How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, and chuck as much wood
As a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood
Tonue twisters are great for practicing pronunciation. The better you get at them the faster you can say them without making mistakes. They help you to better pronounce the targetted sounds and are great for improving weak areas in your pronunciation. It would be quite helpful to practice some everyday. They only take 30 seconds to 2 minutes to practice!
I hope you have a great time with these tongue twisters and enjoy the rest of your week!
Hello everyone, I hope you had a splendid weekend!
Today I would like to talk about teamwork!
Recently in my classes I have been letting students collaborate on questions and problems. They work together and discuss what they think the best answer or solution to a problem is.
This has allowed students to build a relationship with each other and to feel less self concious about suggesting an answer. This goes a long way in encouraging students to keep studying English and to enjoy coming to Amity.
They have also worked together on workbooks and drillbooks which has helped improve their answer accuracy and understanding.
I hope you enjoyed this article!
Enjoy your week!
