One day a man spotted a lamp by the roadside. He picked it up, rubbed it vigorously and a genie appeared. “I’ll grant your fondest wish,” the genie said. The man thought for a moment, then confessed, “I want a spectacular job… a job no man has ever succeeded in doing or has ever attempted to do.” “Phff!” said the genie. “You’re a housewife.”

My 21 years of English teaching experience using humour as a principal common denominator has proved to be a great barrier breaker. I have put together "English Conversation Resources" knowing that teachers and students alike will enjoy them to the full. Each edition has many hours of varied conversation activities that need little or no preparation for the teacher, and you can photocopy them again & again.
After I paid for our cinema tickets, my girlfriend went into the auditorium to find our seats while I bought some refreshments. When I entered the auditorium the lights were down and the previews were being shown. In the dark, I stumbled to my seat and gave my girlfriend a big kiss. Then I heard a familiar voice, “John, I’m over here.”
Each "English Resource file" is different. A wide range of tried and tested conversation subjects: Exactly what you were looking for to stimulate your students. Highly popular Half Crosswords, guaranteed to get you talking. Humorous stories & jokes, relating to your students own funny stories. Questions on a specific theme or random questions to "kickstart" conversations. Funny sketches with full audio support if needed. MP3 songs to listen to & translate. Easy to use, printer friendly PDF files.
Keeping an English conversation class interested and alert can be difficult sometimes. These resources are designed for that purpose. Inside each file you will find lots of well chosen questions (Talking Points) about a particular subject to get your students talking. Also there are humorous stories and jokes (Smilers) that you can easily exploit. Half Crossword puzzles are very popular with my students. You divide them into teams. Team A & Team B. Each team has a different half of the crossword. They take it in turns to ask the opposing team the definition of the words that they do not have. For example: "Can you give me the definition of 12 down? Finally, each resource number has a different humorous sketch that I have written so your students can study. along with listening to audio files. They will be able to hear the music of the English language... The rise and fall of the voice, stress, intonation. And then you may want to play it. If you need any help or advice on how to use these supports, you can contact me on: eddyradburn@gmail.com
President Sarkozy visits a steel factory. To the boss's surprise, the president greets an employee, Jean-Claude, with a warm hug. The same thing happens when Barack Obama visits, and again during Vladimir Putin's tour. Unimpressed, the boss says to Jean-Claude, "I bet you don't know the pope." Jean-Claude shrugs. "We play golf together." The gauntlet has been tossed, and the boss pays their way to the Vatican. During the Benediction, Jean-Claude slips away. Sure enough, he reappears—side by side with the pope. Two Chinese tourists tap the boss on the shoulder and ask, "Who's the guy in white standing with Jean-Claude?"
What does "Hair of the dog" mean? The hair of the dog: Meaning: Using something from A as an antidote to solve B's problems caused by A. Origin: "Hair of the dog" is part of a longer expression "the hair of the dog that bit you". Medieval doctors believed if a rabid dog bit you, your chance of recovery was better if a hair was plucked from the dog and placed on your wound - used as an antidote against the bad effects of the bite. By extension, another drink or two after a drinking binge would be the cure for a hangover.
