This week is something a little different: photos from my ELT classroom.
As always, comments and constructive criticisms are appreciated.
In the Mandarin Chinese language, the words for “eight” and “Father” are almost-homophones. Logically, this would make August 8th (8/8) Father’s Day in China, Taiwan, Singapore, etc…
