• Now, for your presentation, search flights to go to the state - take a memo about the flights' schedule and fare. 

• Choose more than 5 tourist attraction spots - during your presentation, please show the places' pictures and explain why you choose them  or why the place is worth to visit.

• I hope every student has a chance to speak in English in front of students.

Try to update it everyday, reading articles on CNN website and reviewing TTP words.

Lateral Thinking

While I was preparing for my English class, I found out a fantastic noun phrase, lateral thinking. I like the phrase which means the way of solving problems through an indirect and creative approach.

Finding the phrase's meaning in Google, I entered into this website(Lateral Thinking Puzzles) and there are some interesting questions with which students can demonstrate their own creativity.


Here are some examples.

1. You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Knowing that there can only be one passenger in your car, whom would you choose?

The old lady of course! After helping the old lady into the car, you can give your keys to your friend, and wait with your perfect partner for the bus.

2. Acting on an anonymous phone call, the police raid a house to arrest a suspected murderer. They don't know what he looks like but they know his name is John and that he is inside the house. The police bust in on a carpenter, a lorry driver, a mechanic and a fireman all playing poker. Without hesitation or communication of any kind, they immediately arrest the fireman. How do they know they've got their man?

The fireman is the only man in the room. The rest of the poker players are women.

3. The Boxes

There are three boxes. One is labeled "APPLES" another is labeled "ORANGES". The last one is labeled "APPLES AND ORANGES". You know that each is labeled incorrectly. You may ask me to pick one fruit from one box which you choose.

How can you label the boxes correctly?

Pick from the one labeled "Apples & Oranges". This box must contain either only apples or only oranges.

E.g. if you find an Orange, label the box Orange, then change the Oranges box to Apples, and the Apples box to "Apples & Oranges."
