We should know idiomatic expression!!!
Catalina: Hi! John, is an awful day, isn’t?
John: yes, it’s raining cats and dogs!
Catalina: Really? (Looking above) I don’t see anyone.
Horacio: Look at what I bought yesterday!
David: wow, you may have spent a lot of money on these!
Horacio: yeah
David: you shouldn’t waste so much money; you should save for a rainy day…
Horacio: (confused) but instead of bills, an umbrella is better!

HOME-SCHOOLING
From ancient times, home-schooling was a common way of educating children, who belonged to wealthy families, since only they were able to receive educational instruction. However, home-schooling is becoming an alternative for children, especially in Europe and the United States, since bullying and racial discrimination are social problems difficult to deal with. Not only bullying and discrimination but also the fact of living in remote places, home-schooling is the only option for education. Despite the fact that, it is known that there exist parents who choose this option as a way of improving children education and this enables them to have an ESL level. From my point of view, as a home-teacher, I would say that home-schooling is a excellent choice, given that an American home-schooling curriculum enfolds many subjects, raging from Art and History to Math and Geometry, which may widen the students’ knowledge. What is more, most of the lessons are given through multimedia resources, as the Internet.
Taking everything into consideration, it could be said, from my point of view, that home-schooling is a worthily and valuable experience that students, from 3 years to 13 years old or more, would be able to accomplish and at the same time to become an ESL learner.

A yellowish poem
Rays shining over the sunflowers
Where a canary escaped from a cage,
Stood on one of them
Singing the most beautiful song ever heard
It was midday, sun as a huge ball of fire
Shone on the lemons hanging from the tree
The shadow was cool and she was sitting there
Flicking through yellowish pages
As a gift from his grandpa
Blonde girl looked up for a moment
Gazing, appreciating, and guessing
What it did meant
The deafen, beautiful singing
Shook her heart
She could feel freedom in her hands
Rays shining over the sunflowers
Where a canary escaped from a cage,
Stood on one of them
Singing the most beautiful song ever heard
It was midday, sun as a huge ball of fire
Shone on the lemons hanging from the tree
The shadow was cool and she was sitting there
Flicking through yellowish pages
As a gift from his grandpa
Blonde girl looked up for a moment
Gazing, appreciating, and guessing
What it did meant
The deafen, beautiful singing
Shook her heart
She could feel freedom in her hands
