Someone somewhere sometime in the past, in the world of selling English as a Foreign Language (EFL) certifications" (and possibly books, materials and courses), made a smart decision. S/he would start promoting this certification as "for life", and so a myth was born. Sadly, this is at best misleading, if not verging on the untrue.
Every year on the fifth of November, people all over the world gather to remember democracy, the monarchy, the British system of government and protest with bonfires, fireworks and the burning of effigies. Join us as we explore this curiosity of Britishness.

Children generally begin learning to write in the Early Years (known in EFL as Very Young Learners and elsewhere as Early Childhood and/or PreSchool) or in the first grades of Lower Primary (known variously as Reception, Infant School and even Grammar School). However, writing at this level is not so much writing (composition) as it is writing (handwriting) and so should be seen by educators as a combination of fine-motor development with emerging literacy and numeracy rather than as language acquisition and development.
Using a worked example, join us as we review a quick-and-easy structure and approach for producing a news report (as distinct from an "article").

Clarke still tours worldwide, reading his witty, humorous and often ascerbic commentaries on the world in which we live. "Health Fanatic" is one of these.
