Pub Night, Friday 15th September Angel Hotel Pitt St
As you know I never need an excuse to go to the pub, and this month is no different. We are going to the Angel pub on Pitt St (near Martin Place) on Friday the 15th of September. I will be there from seven o’clock. But if you cannot come at that time you can always come along later. If you would like to bring a friend, you can, but you do need to put their name on the list so we know how many people are coming. It will be a good night and a great opportunity for you to practise your English with the teachers outside of the lesson. There is no food available so it is a good idea to have something to eat before you come! I’ll see you there!

Good books to read.
Reading is one of the best ways to improve vocabulary and to improve your grammar, however many people try to read books that are to difficult for them and so feel bad because they cannot understand everything.
The best thing to do is to read books that are for children, this is how most native speakers learn when they are children. We do not start with books for adults when we are learning our language and neither should you.
There are a lot of very good books that you can find, here are some of my favourites that can be read with pleasure by both children and adults.

The Little Prince, by Antoine de St Exupery
This is a short story that you can find a different meaning in every time you read it; it looks simple but is actually very deep. But it is written in a style that is quite easy to understand.


Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl
This was one of my favourite books when I was young, and you may have seen the film with Johnny Depp. It is easy to read and a lot of fun. Most books by Roald Dahl are quite good, and he also has written for older readers in books like “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar”

Winnie the Pooh by AA Milne
Forget Disney, these are some of the greatest stories in English, they were never written for children but instead for the child inside us all. These stories are loved by everyone.



Tessa recommends How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff, but I do not know too much about it, but if she says that it is good I am sure that it is!





With reading the best thing is to choose a book that is not too long, so that you do not get bored halfway through and want to give up, it is better to read shorter books that you can finish quickly, this means you will be able to read more. The best thing to do is to join a library, this is free and it means that you can read many books without having to pay for them. All you need to join a library is some identification and usually a letter with your name and address on it to prove where you live. Look on the internet to find where the nearest library to you is.

Horse riding
We would like to arrange a trip to go horse riding in October. We need to know how many people would be interested in going. Numbers will be very limited as we will have to arrange transport . If you are interested please let me know as soon as possible. Only the first people who speak to me will be able to go.

Do you want $50????????
Did you know that JEC will give you 50 Australian dollars if you introduce a friend to the school and they join us for more than 8 weeks?
Do you know anyone who is looking for a fast, fun way to learn English?
Go on, tell your friends, housemates etc. But make sure they tell us that it was you who recommended us and we will give you the money. IT’S THAT EASY!
