1 . As an English as an Additional Language (EAL) teacher, I work with over one hundred students from grades 1 — 8 with CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) levels varying between A1.1 and B1.2.
Being a resource teacher, I work in small rooms without using much technology. If I choose to include technology into my lesson, I need to borrow devices from a classroom teacher, having only one iPad of my own. On previous occasions, many of the laptops were not charged, and we had difficulty with student log-ins, or Internet access. It seemed that I always had to have a backup plan when technology use was planned.
In order to avoid disappointment, as part of my blended (混合) learning instruction, I provided my students with accounts to an online reading program with leveled books. Students have the opportunity to listen to native-like reading and pronunciation, read the books and record their reading. Furthermore, the learners can work at their own pace on books that are at their levels and they can use it on their own, even if their parents are at work or do not understand English.
At the same time, I have access to the students’ detailed skill report, which shows their performance in all areas. This could be of great avail in terms of shaping my lessons to better address my students’ needs.
One of the biggest challenges I have experienced regarding blended learning was that some of my students’ families do not have devices or Internet-access. There are also parents who believe that anything the child works at on the computer is equal to “screen time” which is bad for the child. But I feel that it is my job to gradually introduce technology and help my students on their journey of becoming independent learners.

2 . If you are on the market to get a good enameled (搪瓷的) Dutch oven, chances are that you may find some French brands, such as Le Creuset and Staub. Nevertheless, when you are considering buying one, you may immediately find these cost a few hundred bucks.
Among the hottest brands, designed for only about $95 with a lifetime guarantee, Input Milo now offers only one item, which can really compete with those hot French ovens.
Style and Design
Because of a promise to source the finest item and to employ the finest achievable style and design, the Milo Dutch oven is really a kettle using a value that can not be overcome. The oven has a normal size, 12 pounds, in 5.5 quarts (夸脱), for all cooking jobs, handy and enameled with small handles. And the very low cost comes chiefly by cutting out the middleman and attempting to sell directly to shoppers.
Milo VS. Other Brand Names
Milo plans to compete with the greater brand names because its style and operation are all equal to those. Cheaper Dutch ovens tend to be somewhat short-term, while Milo is devoted to producing products that survive a life or even longer.

The bell rang, announcing the end of the vivid art class Karson loved most. He was delighted that he had created a very satisfying work. So he walked to the back of the classroom to put his work away carefully. There, lying on the carpet in front of the classroom bookcase, was a golden ticket! Karson picked it up. His heat beat faster when he saw that the name line was blank. He couldn’t believe his luck!
The boys and girls in Karson’s class could earn golden tickets by doing well in their study or by being extra helpful or kind. Once a week their teacher drew a ticket out of a box on her desk and let the winner choose a prize.
Today was the golden ticket drawing, and here was another ticket, just for him! Karson looked around. No one else was near the ticket. All his classmates were at their desks, laughing and talking with each other. Miss Evans was engaged in grading the papers collected early in the morning.
Karson decided to write his name on the blank line. Then he could put it into the prize box with the six tickets he’d already earned. With so many chances, one of his tickets would most probably be picked! Then he could choose the pink toy pig for his sister’s birthday, just like he had been hoping.
He smiled and reached for the pencil in his pocket. Suddenly his fingers stopped. There was a strange feeling in his chest, and it wasn’t his heartbeat. “It’s ‘finders keepers’, right?” he wondered. He looked out of the window and tried to figure it out. On the one hand, he did find the ticket, but he hadn’t earned it. Somebody must have lost it. But on the other hand, he did need tis extra ticket for his great plan!

Lauren Elizabeth Pirie Bath, until a few years ago, she was a chef, and a happy one at that time, but she wanted more out of life. She wanted to TRAVEL. At that time, Lauren discovered blogging and found that she took pretty good pictures. So she decided to post pictures on her blog. In less than 18 moths, there were over 200,000 people reading her blog! At first, Lauren only regarded it as a hobby, but companies started paying her to take photos and publish them. In 2013, she was determined to make her dream come true: to become Australia’s first professional photo blogger. It was a challenging job, but she did it. Now Lauren spends three weeks out of every month travelling and has over 464,000 fans following her online.
First visiting Western Australia for work in 2013, Lauren fell in love with northern WA and has been back six times. She has made over 140 work trips, but the best work trip ever was to Broome in the Kimberley region.
“It is extremely beautiful and I can experience the indigenous Australia there more than anywhere else. The Kimberley region, in particular, is unique and untouched.” She told the interviewer, and as a photographer, Lauren loves the bright light and amazing colours: red rocks, green plants, blue-green waters and blue skies.
To work full time in travel, she has to love nature and tries to take every opportunity to get outside and admire the natural world. She loves to photograph the rising sun, as well as enjoys photo graphing animals such as dolphins and kangaroos.
Lauren uses the photography to make an impact on people, especially when it comes to environmental issues. Today she has been photographing a crocodile swimming close to the boat the Kimberley Quest all day. When she posts the picture online, she will make a comment about how bad it is to feed wild crocodiles. This crocodile is used to passengers throwing food from boats and now she is becoming familiar with humans. Over time, this could make her a danger to people living to the area. If everyone can do something to make others aware of the problem, then that’s part of the solution.

5 . In many people’s eyes, plants are quiet and passive. They can’t talk. They can’t walk.
Or can they? A new BBC documentary series, The Green Planet, gives us a new look at plants. Released on January 10 on Bilibili, it uncovers the wonderful and dramatic ways that plants behave.
Plants compete against each other to live. Each species has its own ways of defense. In rainforests, different kinds of plants race for sunlight. The forest floor is described as a “battlefield” in the series as only two percent of the sunlight filters (透过) through it.
The series not only lets us wonder at the plant world but pushes us to understand that plants are important. “
