As we come to the end of the month, students studying in the Yellow Level should review what they have learned in the Yellow Level Review.

There’s a Yellow Level Test that follows the review.

Here’s a new reading exercise for the Yellow Level: Boris is thinking about quitting his job.

In this new video, I show students how to ask and answer questions in the present perfect tense:

 

Don’t confuse the words "part" and "apart."

The word of the day is "part."

Have you been practicing your reading skills in the Yellow Level this month? If you’re following the reading schedule, here’s today’s reading assignment: Laura got a bike for her birthday.

This new video shows you how to form the present perfect tense:

 

The word of the day is "pity."

Students working in the Yellow Level study the past continuous tense today.

It’s the day after election day in the United States. Today’s word of the day is "victory."

Students studying in the Yellow Level this month should visit the Yellow Level Reading Room when they have a chance.

This reading assignment is about the election season, which is now over, thank God!

It’s election day in the United States, so today’s word of the day is "poll."

When someone bothers you, or when a thing causes you trouble, you can use the word "bug." This was the word of the day a few days ago, and it suddenly occurred to be me that it might be a good topic for a video.

I hated to do it, but there’s no sense in leaving a dead tree standing in my backyard.

 

Students who completed the Red Level may move on to the Yellow Level today.

The focus of the Yellow Level is on perfect tenses and modifiers. But if you have not yet mastered the Blue and Red Levels, I recommend you return to those levels and complete all of those lessons before moving forward.
