STRUGGLE ...

Hellooooo!

Yes! It's me again.
Today I received this word from my ONE-A-DAY account 
at  Merriam-Webster's online dictionary.
I thought I would share it with you on my blog,
 instead of using it in the classroom.
Why! Well it is quite ironic if you consider
 my blog's name : WORDS for FUN!
And then the word STRUGGLE, right!
I just thought I would use it to say:

"MY LOVELY STUDENTS,
KEEP UP YOUR DAILY STRUGGLE with English
and you'll see it will pay off in the end
 and imagine the FUN you will have with the language!
That time is not too far away!!"
There is an ENGLISH PERSON living inside of you   
 tha's just waiting to get out!! ;)

YOUR TEACHER, SUZANNE
