🎄December is the time to watch Christmas and New Year Movies.
Here’s my choice
👦Home Alone
An eight-year-old troublemaker must protect his house from a pair of burglars when he is accidentally left home alone by his family during Christmas vacation. Can’t but laugh out loud.
💕Love Actually
The movie revolves around the personal relationships between different protagonists, and how they manage to overcome their difficulties in time for Christmas. The cast is charming.
👨👩👧👦 Bad Mom’s Christmas
In this sequel to Bad Moms, the main characters, the tree mums, are living happier lives after learning to let go of some of the demands of motherhood. But they’re put back under pressure by the arrival of their mothers for Christmas. Easy, funny, giving food for thought.

“Don’t look back – you’re not going that way.” — Mary Engelbreit ⠀ The word LOOK is used in many ways. The list can be endless, but we will HAVE a LOOK at the most interesting ones. ⠀ NEVER LOOK BACK means to continue to be successful after doing something with a good result. -Keep doing your best and never look back. ⠀ If you go window shopping and don't want to buy anything, you can say to a shop assistant: - Thank you, I'm just looking. ⠀ to LOOK = SEEM. Pay a compliment to your friend) -You look wonderful today! ⠀ LOOK = APPEARANCE (noun) Pay another compliment to your friend. ⠀ I like the way you look!
"I understand, but I can't speak" ⠀ If you want to communicate in English well, I think you should be a good listener, too.
Actually, you learn to listen first as a child. You listen to your parents, then respond, first with your mimics, gestures, yells and screams. Then step by step you add single words, after you make sentences. ⠀ To my mind, similar things happen when you study a foreign language. ⠀ So, relax, it is ok if you can understand more than you can speak! ⠀ First, become a good listener. ⠀ 📌Respond to what you hear: 😯Oh, really? 🙃That's interesting! 😊Hmm (yeah, that is also the way to show you are interested) 😵Sounds terrible! ⠀ How to use it? - How was your weekend? - Great! - Hmm.
No way! I’m sure in your native langauge it sounds quite different. - How was your weekend? - Great! - Oh, what did you do then? - On Saturday my friend called me ... ⠀ 📌You ask a follow-up question and presto! You show that you care. ⠀ If you want to revise how to ask questions, attend free classes with Free English Grammar Marathon ⠀ If you want to become a good listener and speaker, join SL English Speaking Club
Trick-or-treating is traditional Halloween custom for children and adults in some countries.
In the evening before All Saints' Day (1 November), children in costumes travel from house to house, asking for treats with the phrase "Trick or treat".
🍭The "treat" is usually some form of candy, although in some cultures money is given instead.
💩The "trick" refers to a threat, usually idle, to perform mischief on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given.
