HUMOUR
A
man is driving through Liverpool when he see's a sign in
front of an old house saying: 'Talking Dog For Sale'
He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the
dog is in the backyard.
He goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador
retriever sitting there.
"can you talk?" he asks, "yes, of course" the Lab replies.
After the man recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk,
he says "So what's your story?"
The Lab looks up and says, "When I discovered that I could
talk I was very young. I wanted to help the government so I
told the British Secret Service. In no time at all they had
me working for MI6 and flying from country to country,
sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders because no one
thought a dog would be listening and understanding.
“I was their most valuable spy for eight years, but the
travelling around really tired me out and as I wasn't
getting any younger I decided to settle down. I left MI6 and
got a job at Heathrow doing undercover security. I uncovered
some incredible dealings and was awarded lots of medals.
Then I got married, had puppies and now I’m retired."
The man is amazed by all this and goes back into the house
and asks the owner how much he wants for the dog.
"Ten pounds" says the owner.
"Ten pounds!" says the man, "This dog is amazing, why do you
only want ten pounds?"
"Because he's a bloody liar" said the owner, "he's never
been out of the backyard!"

Using SMART goals to improve your English
SMART goals are used by successful businessmen and women, entrepreneurs
and multi-million dollar companies.
They are arguably one of the most effective tools used by high achievers
and they can often make the difference between failure and success. But,
how can they help you improve your English?
Before we explain how, let's look at exactly what a SMART goal is.
S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym, and here's what the letters
stand for:
S = SPECIFIC - Your goal should be focused and well defined, not
vague and too general.
- An example of a specific goal: I'll learn more words connected to my
hobby of photography.
- An example of a non-specific goal: I'll study some English.
M = MEASURABLE - You should make your goal something that you can
measure.
- An example of a measurable goal: I'll learn 15 words connected to my
hobby of photography.
- An example of a non-measurable goal: I'll learn a few words connected
to my hobby of photography.
A = ACHIEVABLE (or ATTAINABLE) - your goal must be something you
can realistically do.
- An example of an achievable goal: I'll learn 15 words connected to my
hobby of photography this week.
- An example of an non-achievable goal: I'll learn 300 words connected
to my hobby of photography today.
R = RELEVANT - Your goal should be relevant to your progress in
English.
- An example of a relevant goal: I'll learn 5 expressions that I might
need for a job interview in English.
- An example of an non-relevant goal: I'll learn 5 expressions that I
might need if I go to Hollywood to appear in a Zombie movie.
T = TIMELY - put a time limit on your goal.
- An example of a timely goal: I'll learn 15 more words connected to my
hobby of photography by Friday.
- An example of a goal that isn't timely: I'll learn 15 more words
connected to my hobby of photography.
So, now you know what SMART goals are, how can you use them to improve
your English?
We suggest making yearly, monthly, weekly and daily goals. Only you can
decide what you goals will be. It depends on what you need English for
and how much time you have to study.
Here are some examples of SMART goals.
YEARLY
Increase my level of English from B1 to B2 level before December 31.
Take a level test at my academy in December to see if I have the B2
level so that I can take the FCE exam next year.
MONTHLY
Attend classes twice a week at my academy and study English for 30
minutes every day after dinner.
WEEKLY
Go to the language exchange evening on Tuesday and speak to a native
speaker for at least 15 minutes.
DAILY
Review the language rules for the present perfect tense at the back of
the course book and do 3 online exercises using time expressions with
the present perfect.
Break your goals down
If you decided to run a marathon, you probably wouldn't go out tomorrow
and try to do it.
The sensible thing would be to plan your training and slowly increase
the distance you run over time. You build up to the goal of 42
kilometres by running 5km, then 8, then 10, then 15 etc.
Writing a book may seem like an incredibly difficult goal, but if you
break that book down into chapters, and the chapters into pages and the
pages into paragraphs, it doesn't seem so bad.
Then you can say, "I'm going to write two pages every day." If you focus
on those achievable two pages, you'll be surprised how quickly you'll
have written the first chapter.
Think of English in the same way. Learning all the phrasal verbs in
English is not very realistic, but learning 15 or 20 new phrasal verbs a
week is realistic.
We’d like to know if you have tried SMART goals and how they worked
(or didn’t work!) for you. Send us an email with your comments to:
