Hello from New Teacher Sarah!

Hello Everyone!

Firstly, farewell to teacher Helen and student Marcos, and thank you for all your great posts. I’m really honoured to be writing here in this blog, and I’m looking forward to interacting with you all over the web. As Lily the student blogger says: “That’s the magic of English” - we can all talk about our own experiences and share things even though we’re in different countries.

Let me introduce myself: my name is Sarah, I live in a village in the countryside near London, and I teach English to adults and teenagers. I love languages and meeting people from other cultures. I speak French and Italian, and I also teach Music when time allows! I love playing the piano, but I’m not sure my neighbours love it quite so much… ;-)

Today it has snowed. It really has snowed. You know how everything is muffled and still when there’s snow on the ground? It’s like a fairytale: there are small, excited children running about (some not so small!), and no-one has gone to work.

I’m really looking forward to the next month or so, and am especially excited to see that student Lily has already written her first post. I’ll publish some corrections for Lily later on today.

Bye for now.

Sarah

Hello Sarah, Nice to meet you. we don't have snow in Taiwan, so I don't have a muffled sense at all. Imaginatively, it is interesting. Bye for now, see you and best wishes, James.

Hello Sarah and welcome! So this time we are going to learn about UK. Speaking of snow in the UK, I have come to know from a news story that this is one of the heaviest snow fall in 18 years and as you told us that everybody is enjoying an unexpected holiday:-) Best wishes, Naheed

Hello Sarah! First of all,I want to give you a warmly welcome to be a next teacher blogger ,I am one of the regular visiters from china.I would really love to learn more about english and curious about other cultures as well.I hope it will help me to make better progress Best wishes to you Richard yang 001

Hello Sarah, good evening and welcome to the blogger family. I'v just seen the pictures of London covered with snow. It seems to be a great problem and I also have heart it was the heaviest snowfall in 18 years.I live in a city in the middle of Germany and snow is normal in winter. But nevertheless we also know the situation when the snow brings the transport to a chaos. It is always complicated in a big city with all the public transport. But snow can be wonderful too. We like travelling to Tyrol every January and enjoying cross country skiing. And there all people are happy to have a lot of snow. It's a great feeling when you can walk through a snow-covered forest and all the trees and other thing carry a snow-cap. I hope London is able to handle the difficult situation soon. And we are happy that we are going to London not until June. All the best, Felicitas

Hello Sarah Welcome as a teacher blogger.I am excited to interact you and other blogger. You said London is snowy, on the contrary Turkiye is like spring, the temperature is nearly 20 degree, unusual. Its reason might be global warming.Welcome again. I hope this period will be pleasure for you.:)))

Nice to meet you Sarah! This is just a quick message to say hello. It´s almost midnight on my side. Today here we have a very sunny and hot day. I wish we could some fresher days here :-). Best wishes, Ana Paula.

Hi Sarah, welcome to this blog. I live in Italy, near Turin and since Sunday has snowed here too but less than a month ago, when snowed for three days. When it's snowing I like walking in the streets and find a new fascinating atmosphere around. Ciao
