Do You Really Want To Be Better In English?
Are you one of the English learners who want to be better in English but doesn't want to study English?
Did my above question confuse you?
Most English learners want to be better in the language but they reason out that they're not good in English and they fear that their ability is not enough to communicate with an English teacher.
Today, let me teach you about -
Daily Affirmations
Daily affirmations are good thoughts or positive thoughts that you read everyday when you want to achieve your goals.By focusing on your dreams, you ignore fears and you enjoy the present small challenges. Here is a video that would dramatically help you if you want to be better in English.
Go and play the video again!
You may also write each sentence on a card, read them everyday and you would be surprised that you are indeed improving in your English skills.

President Barack Obama’s Thanksgiving Address
Have you watched the Thanksgiving address of President Barack Obama? If not, here it is.
Listen carefully and fill in the blanks with what you've heard.
Today, like millions of other families across America, Michelle, Malia, Sasha and I will ____ down to share a Thanksgiving filled with family and friends – and a few ________ of food and football, too. And just as ________ have done in every Thanksgiving since the first, we’ll spend some time taking stock of what we’re thankful for: the God-given bounty of America, and the blessings of one another.
This is also a holiday that captures that ______ American impulse to give something of ourselves. Even as we speak, there are ________Americans serving at soup kitchens and food pantries; contributing to their communities; and standing guard around the world.
And in a _____ __________ that’s emblematic of what Americans have always done. We come together and do what’s required to make tomorrow __________ than today. That’s who we are.
Consider our journey since that first Thanksgiving. We are among the world’s youngest of peoples, but time and again, we have _______ and resiliently led the way forward. Against tough odds, we are a people who endure – who explored and settled a vast and untamed continent; who built a _________economy and stood against tyranny in all its forms; who marched and fought for equality, and connected a globe with our own science and imagination.
None of that __________ was predestined. ______of it came easily. Instead, the blessings for which we give thanks today are the product of choices made by our parents, and grandparents, and generations before – whose determination and sacrifice ensured a better future for us.
This holiday season, we must ____________ once more to do the same.
This is not the hardest Thanksgiving America has ever faced. But as long as many members of our American family are hurting, we’ve got to look _______for one another. As long as many of our sons and daughters and husbands and wives are at war, we’ve got to support their ______ and honor their service. And as long as many of our friends and neighbors are looking for work, we’ve got to do everything we can to _______ this recovery and keep our economy moving forward.
And we will. But we won’t do it as any one political party. We’ve got to do it as one people. And in the coming weeks and months, I hope that we can work together, Democrats and Republicans and Independents alike, to make progress on these and other _____________.
That’s why, next week, I’ve invited the leadership of both parties to the White House for a real and honest discussion – because I believe that if we stop talking at one another, and start talking with one another, we can get a lot done.
For what we are called to do again today isn’t about Democrats or Republicans. It’s not about left or right. It’s about us. It’s about what we know this country is _________ of. It’s about what we want America to be in this new century.
A _________ nation that makes sure its children are the best-educated in the world. A healthy, growing economy that runs on clean energy and creates the jobs of tomorrow. A responsible government that reduces its deficits. An America where every citizen is able to go as far as he or she desires.
We can do all this, because we’ve ________ it before. We’re made of the same ______stuff as the travelers who sat down to the first Thanksgiving, and all who came after – who worked, and sacrificed, and invested, because they believed that their efforts would make the difference for us.
That’s who we are. We shape our own destiny with conviction,__________, and clear and common purpose. We honor our past and press forward with the knowledge that tomorrow will be better than today. We are Americans. That’s the vision we won’t lose sight of. That’s the legacy that falls to our generation. That’s the challenge that together, we are going to meet.
To every American, I am thankful for the privilege of being your President. To all our service members stationed around the world, I am honored to be your Commander-in-Chief. And from the Obama family to yours, have a very Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you.

Do You Ever Wonder How Does One Cook Up A Storm?
To cook up a storm is an Australian slang which means to cook an amazing meal.
Watch this video and learn how does Kylie Kwong cook up a storm.
Read this CNN news and study some vocabulary words.
(CNN) -- Family, food and faith have guided Kylie Kwong to where she is today.
The 41-year-old chef has been cooking up a storm with her TV shows and restaurant for over a decade, adding a dash of color and flavor to Australia's cultural life.
A third generation Chinese who grew up in the suburbs of Sydney in the 1970s, Kwong left High School to work for an advertising agency. She soon realized, however, that making people feel bad in order to make them buy things they didn't want wasn't for her. Making people happy through good food was much more appealing.
After leaving the advertising industry she worked part-time for a caterer where she saw a way to combine the love of cooking she inherited from her mother with a growing interest in creating her own business.
She opened her first restaurant "Billy Kwong" 10 years ago and it has since become a fixture on the Sydney restaurant scene.
"When I opened the goal was very simple. I wanted to fill it every night and serve really fantastic, amazing, fresh Chinese food out of this funny little arty place," she told CNN.
"And I love running a business. It's so challenging. And I love what it brings out of you. You find these hidden strengths you find that you didn't know you had."
Since then Kwong has developed a larger profile through her cooking shows and recipe books.
She also let cameras follow her to southern China and the village where her great grandfather once lived; the first time a member of Kwong's immediate family had been there in 90 years.
It was a world apart from the suburban Australia that Kwong knew. Coming from the only Chinese family in her suburb, Kwong says she always felt different from other children.
"I certainly felt different when I'd go to school and open the lunch box and there I'd have last night's rice and soy sauce chicken wings and my friend had the Vegemite sandwiches," she told CNN.
"And that point it was very good to be different because our food was so much more interesting. Yes, I felt different, yes, my brothers felt different. But it really didn't affect us negatively at all."
In touch with her roots and a vast extended family (family reunions number in the hundreds) Kwong is also a practicing Buddhist who cooked for the Dalai Lama when he visited Australia in 2009.
"It was one of the great weeks of my life. I still can't believe that it actually happened. We spent all week with him backstage in Sydney," she said.
"His practice just really encouraged me to keep practicing and doing what we're doing, and to always try harder and harder in everything we do. And to know every single thing that we feel, or think, or do, makes a really big difference."
New Words To Study :
1. over a decade - A decade means a period of ten years. Over a decade means more than ten years.
2 appealing - attractive
3.inherit - to get or acquire/receive the same quality. This means that Kylie Kwong loves cooking like her mother does.
4. fixture - a person or thing long established in the same place or position. Kylie Kwong restaurant has been in Australia for a long time now.
5. arty - popular
6. brings out of you - develop (a quality, for example) to best advantage
7. immediate family -
8. suburb - a residential area around a major city
10. In touch with one's roots - Roots mean ancestors or one's great grandparents. Kylie Kwong is now connected with her ancestors/origin.

How To Prepare For Job Interview - What Is Your Greatest Weakness?
Usually, we don't want our weaknesses to be known.
Do you? I don't.
When I was preparing for my job interview after graduating college, a friend helped me how to answer this tough question: "What is your greatest weakness?" . She suggested these: " I'm a perfectionist" or " I'm hardworking and I do a lot of overtime work". After some job interview failures, I sensed that interviewers were not fulfilled with my answers so I needed to ask help from the experts.
This 1 minute video prepares us on how to be honest in job interviews, and not to give a strength disguised as a weakness.
ESL learners , " What Is Your Greatest Weakness?"
