Music to work to?
I like to have music in the background when I'm working but I get bored with the usuals. Anyone looked at the music offered for studying? Whale song, harp music, sea sounds - nope!Very familiar music from seventies and eighties is distracting because it keeps jerking my memory back, not good.
Boring music makes me sleepy - not good.
Lively music makes me restless, I want to jump up and dance. Not good.
Any suggestions before I just switch off? It's so QUIET if I do! And I'm studying at the moment, a bit boring but I have to concentrate.
Housework music is so easy - driving anthems, the louder the better
The huge advantage of choosing something I knew in the 70s and 80s is it wakes up my teenage brain (which is still fairly shiny and unused). Now if I can just get my inner teenager to settle down to some work ...

I often put it on when I want an energy boost!
And make coffee, did I forget to mention that?
Turned out someone HAD tried to get in. Can't be Pat, he's still here. So I had to pick up the bits and dig a quick grave in the back yard and wipe the dog's jowls.
No one will miss a burglar, right?
"Language levels, student needs, exams and producing a scheme of work"
You get them to do one of the official online language level tests, and then grade them into A1, B2, D1 etc.
That is the only way to know which level they are at.
In DELE (Spanish Language) an A is better than a C, not the other way around
I listen on occasion to Gary Moore, Joe Satriani, when in a mellow mood some Pink Floyd or something, I must admit I lost all love for music and now it's an annoyance, Id prefer someone scratching a blackboard probably.
I have an imminent job interview to teach English on line
It will be badly paid, at a guess - agency ones always are - but if I can get it, extremely handy experience, eh?
Que? I should have said. Probably with an upside-down question mark if we were really getting fancy.
I'm a scratchy old besom.
Up - slow is too general. Specifics, man.
I understand about the passing traffic, a few weeks ago a tractor passed by, I was scared and irritated that he chose my road. Could you slip a harmonica in the bulldogs mouth or nose when he is snoring, might make it tolerable.
No, hang on, ukelele music! THAT's the most irritating. Mappy, sing to me and strum on a small mandolin?
Hey, when we have that beach party in Spain, Robby, Daniella and you providing the live music, better call the x factor judges to pop by.
my kind of music when working...
Oh yeah bang up to the minute me.
That's the modules done and dusted, now an hour and a half exam covering the whole course. I'll be back in a couple of days
My kind of music when I'm chilling...
Am I invited?
TEFL has challenged my knowledge of English and I never suspected the language included so much grammar but the modules are done and dusted, now eyeing my first assignment a bit nervously. Okay, a lot nervously.
I really, really, really wanted to be on line at the same time as you because I've been hunting down dancing bananas for you and you'll love them. LOVE them.
Well, our time will come. In the meantime, a wee Scottish laddie for you, just as a teaser, ken?
One never knows when one will be asked to perform a party piece
