Nothing Can Beat a Friendship

The Dog and The Elephant

Eating and enjoying some yummy food every single day, the elephant didn't realize that there was a dog starving and needed to be feed so much. Until one fine day, the dog couldn't take it anymore because he hadn't fed for several days by his owner. When the dog asked some food to the elephant, generously the elephant gave it and they ate their meal together everytime the sun comes up. Time passed, they've been a great best friend that couldn't be separated from anything in this universe. One time, the Maharaja, the elephant's doctor, asked him why he became so thinner recently. How come? It turned out that the elephant accidentally made himself like that because he wanted the dog went back to his previous owner, and but it worked. How luckily the dog was, the elephant's owner saw the poor dog and he remembered that there was an announcement from Royal Elephant Stables that needed to be returned the dog. Eventually, the dog and the elephants actually lived together.

That's a story that I've picked from storynory and honestly, that's really awesome! It has plenty of free audio stories for each of them. That's excellent, isn't it? Also, some of the stories have written by children between 9 and 12 years old that has a creative imagination. I couldn't be more proud if the next generations are smarter and more creative especially if they share what they got without hesitation.

These are links that consist of my storynory and a little quiz (Quizizz) that you can learn about.

ELT Video for the Beginners

As we know that as the second language, English needs to be easily accessed everywhere especially in the net. So many sources that available and the beginners can use them anywhere and anytime as long as they want to. How lucky I am, I'm joining CALL class this semester and my lecture, Ms. Priska, had shared some teaching and learning online sources that genuinely beneficial for the English Learners.

These are the flawless links that you should check immediately :

1. The Internet TESL Journal
2. ESL Video
3. Breaking English News
4. Jammie Keddie's Videotelling

Actually, the most eye-catching link that makes me want to learn more about is the ESL Video. When I opened it for the first time, there are so many awesome videos such as "The Shoes", "My Dad's Story", "Pharrel William - Happy", and so on.

Why I think that's a perfect link for the teachers especially student?
Well, when I opened "My Dad's Story", on the left side there's a video itself and there are questions next to the video and it was so creative.


The beginners can learn English by improving listening ability. Also, I'm pretty sure there's another videos or stories that can increase vocabulary etc. as well.

"Listening comprehension is anything but a passive activity. It's a complex, active process in which the listener must discriminate between sound, understand vocabulary and grammatical structures, interpret stress and intonation, retain what was gathered in all of the above and, interpret it within the immediate as well as the larger sociocultural context of the utterance. Co-ordinating all of this involves a great deal of mental activity on the part of the listener. Listening is a hard work, and deserves more analysis and support". (Vandergrift, 1999:168)
