# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The oldest glue in the world is over 8,000 years old and comes from a cave near the Dead Sea. Today, we have enough types of tape and glue to build and repair almost anything. But what gives glue and tape their stickiness? And is one stronger than the other?

What's your sign? In Western astrology, it's a constellation determined by when your birthday falls in the calendar. But according to the Chinese zodiac (生肖), it's your shuxiang, meaning the animal assigned to your birth year. And of the many myths explaining these animal signs and their arrangement, the most enduring one is that of The Great Race. Megan Campisi and Pen-Pen Chen recount this classic myth.

Updated March 2023 - let me know if there are any problems.

You can set this page as a homework task for a group of students; doing so will give you a record of who has completed the task. Visit the teacher's section for more information.

You can share this page by using the link below.

This is a simple game for practicing future tense in English using the form 'going to'. The target language is 'going to' and time words - days of the week, months, seasons, parts of the day. The game only uses the 'going to' form; it doesn't use 'will' or present continuous at all. The aim of this game is have students practice making future tense sentences and for them to have exposure to this time vocabulary. The phrases used into this game are divided into 6 sets of content; they are grouped according to the time vocabulary they use. The sets are as follows.

Future time words: Tomorrow, Next week, Next month, In 2 years, In 10 years, In 2 weeks, In 6 months, Next year, In 5 years.

Days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

Times of the day: Tomorrow morning, Tomorrow afternoon, Tomorrow evening, Tomorrow night.

Seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter.

Months: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

The second screen you see is a preview screen. On this screen you can choose which set of content to use and you can see examples of future tense phrases using this content. You choose to use a set of content by clicking on the play button which begins the game.

There are 2 parts to the game. For the first part, you are shown the time words laid out in a schedule and you are presented with a sentences stating an action and a time. You then have to find the image that matches the action and move it to the matching time period. For example, if you see 'he is going to play tennis on Monday', then you have to move the tennis image to the Monday time. For the third part, you are shown images and you have to click on words to create a matching phrase. The images used will have an action and a person holding a sign to indicate the time at which the action is done. For example, the image may show a man flying a kite and then a sign saying 'Monday'. The phrase for this image would be 'On Monday, he is going to fly a kite'.

Όπως έχετε καταλάβει είναι δύσκολο να κάνουμε μάθημα με τον παραδοσιακό τρόπο (όλοι σε μια αίθουσα). Επειδή δε θέλω να χάσετε επαφή με τα Αγγλικά δημιούργησα αυτό τον τοίχο και έβαλα διάφορους συνδέσμους για να ασχοληθείτε για όσο διάστημα κρατήσει η καραντίνα.

Μπορείτε να δείτε βίντεο ή να επισκεφθείτε τους συνδέσμους και μπορείτε να το βαθμολογήσετε με αστεράκια αν σας άρεσε.

Μπορείτε να γράψετε σχόλια κάτω από κάθε ανάρτηση και να βάλετε και το όνομά σας.

Μπορείτε να γράψετε σχόλιο σαν αυτό που διαβάζετε πατώντας διπλό κλικ σε κενό χώρο  είτε για να ρωτήσετε κάτι είτε γενικά για να επικοινωνήσετε γράφοντας το όνομα σας στον τίτλο.

Αν έχετε δει κάποιο βίντεο που σας άρεσε μπορείτε κι εσείς να το προσθέσετε σε αυτό τον τοίχο αντιγράφοντας το URL του.

Δεν είναι δύσκολο. Έτσι θα μπορούμε να επικοινωνούμε και κάθε Δευτέρα θα σας βάζω από ένα θέμα έκθεσης να σχολιάζετε από κάτω από την ανάρτηση. Μέχρι την Κυριακή θα ήθελα να γράφετε την έκθεση εδώ πάνω ώστε να τη βλέπουν όλοι και να παίρνουν ιδέες. Το πρώτο θέμα το έχω ήδη γράψει και το έχω αριθμήσει (1) και περιμένω να γράψετε σχόλια όπως έκανα κι εγώ. Θα μπαίνετε πάντα στον ίδιο σύνδεσμο και αν έχουν προσθέσει οι συμμαθητές σας κάτι ή εγώ θα το βλέπετε αυτόματα. Περιμένω επίσης να δω εκθέσεις πάνω σε αυτό το θέμα με το όνομα σας. Θα ήθελα να με βοηθήσετε σε αυτή την προσπάθεια και να συμμετέχετε. Δεν είναι μόνο για μια φορά. Θα μπαίνετε συχνά εδώ.
Να είστε καλά,
κ. Τίνα
