Oral Reading Fluency 11: "Different Interests"

 Jennifer ESL: Oral Reading Fluency 11: "Different Interests"

What interests do you have? Any doctor will tell you how important it is to be active and social. Take care of your body. Take care of your mind. Also, find time to be with others. Meeting with friends is good for the spirit.

It's not possible to have too many interests. However, there are only so many hours in a day and so many days in a week. Take it easy.

VOA Africa: Struggle for Equality Persists as US Observes Black History Month

February is Black History Month in the United States. The idea for the observance was born after the launch of Negro History Week on Feb. 1, 1926 by Black historian and author Carter Woodson. It became a month-long celebration in 1976.  Melvin Foote, the president and CEO of the Constituency for Africa, tells Africa 54 host Esther Githui-Ewart that the fight for equality and recognition of contributions by Black Americans is far from over.

Oral Reading Fluency 8: "Order, Order"


JenniferESL: Oral Reading Fluency 8: "Order, Order" - English Listening and Speaking Practice

As a girl, she liked order. As a woman, she liked it even more. Why were her hands never still? Because it was her nature. After playing, toys were returned to their place. After working, papers and pens were put away. 

Would a room be that much different without such order? For most people, no. For her, the world would be turned upside-down. Which way is a better way to be?
