热度 12 owenlee 2020-12-6 15:32
Deal All: This group has been kept quiet for more than A month, the reason is beacuse on one hand we're running out of supply since it tooks a hell lot of work to sorting out useful expressions and cutting clips in accordance with our strict SOP, highlight and repeat what's essential and critical for english learners, you can only imagine how much time and effort we've invested in this project . On the other hand, we have to stick to the original plan which is to realise what we've accomplished thus making sure your efforts won't go in vain. You might be wondering "what does it have to do with me"? Well, it sure does! As long as you're struggling for English proficiency, as long as you're glued to the screen whenever DH is on! Now I feel excited to annouce that all the work we've done has been materialized and ready to put into production. The scripts, the hand-manual and A tailor-made dairy for desperate Housewives. For a few members in this group that I hold dear to my heart, you might aware of that I'm a typical perfectionist, I just impose relatively high standard on certain things I love and lay out above-average criteria for the people I care. Aside from that, I want to see things kept intact, tidy and in mint condition. Am I obsessive compulsive disorder just like Bree? If so, how further and deep am I turned out? I would be really appreciated if you could help me to indentify. Hopefully you guys don't related me to Bree. All am saying is that, the work we've done is exceptionally sincere and diligent, and you're not gonna regret to have them all even if at a slightly higher price. Now, I'd would like to offer you guys two exciting news: 1、An opportunity to spend 2-3 hours of your valuable time do something for us in exchange for the handmanual and its byproduct (with 400 commonly used phrases and the video clips associated with it, which cost us half a year) for free. 2、From now on, I'll be able to put aside 1 hour free time on a dialy basis dedicated for this group, you all are welcome to launch free topics or ask me anything with regard to DH S01. I'm happy to oblidge just as you're eager to learn.

owenlee 2020-10-8 16:45
1。Lynette: "What if we separate the twins? Put them in different classes. They’re much calmer when they’re not bouncing off one another."   由于Lynette的双胞胎调皮捣蛋,老师与她谈话,以上是Lynette的建议。They’re much calmer when they’re not bouncing off one another." 这句是什么意思?      2。Susan: "Yep. She’s bringing out the big guns."   Julie: "You better get over there. She’s wearing cotton."   Susan: "What am I supposed to say to Mike? I saw you half naked and thought I’d drop by?"   Edie很招摇的在Mike门前洗车,以上是Susan与Julie对她的议论。She’s wearing cotton。这句还有这句I saw you half naked and thought I’d drop by?"   是什么意思?      3。Gabrielle: "I love taking baths. Especially with you. It’s like taking a vacation from the world."   John: "I hated taking baths when I was a kid. Course back then, the only thing I had to play with was my rubber ducky."   Gabrielle与John偷情时在浴缸里的对话Course back then, the only thing I had to play with was my rubber ducky."这句不明白。特别是这句Course back then。      4。Susan: "Mrs. Huber."   Mrs. Huber: "Did you and Mike come together? I saw him in the fresh produce aisle."   这是Susan与Mrs. Huber的再次交锋。I saw him in the fresh produce aisle." 这句是“我看到他正在建新的走廊”的意思吗?      5 。Lynette: "Thank you. That’s the nicest way you could have said that. You know, the truth is, when they’re not making me want to tear my hair out, they’re actually really sweet. I’m afraid if I change the bad stuff, I’m gonna change the good stuff."   Bree: "It’s a tough call."   Lynette: "Like this mug. I love this mug. If I medicate them, are they still gonna make me a mug like this?"   Bree: "You know, it’s leaking."   Lynette: "Yeah. I know."   以上是Lynette对Bree关于孩子方面的谈话。主要是Lynette对给双胞胎吃药很反感,但是又没有什么好办法。"Like this mug. I love this mug. If I medicate them, are they still gonna make me a mug like this”不怎么理解这句话的意思,是否有特别的含义?"it’s leaking"。也不明白。      6.Andrew: "Keep going. I’m mad at you for about seven thousand other things."   Andrew反感Bree.说了上面那句话。seven thousand other things."   里面有什么典故吗?

The secret feuds and fallouts of Desperate Housewives’ cast members amid claims of ‘torture’ and ‘bullying’ September 11, 2019 by SimpleNews We can’t sustain with the quantity of drama outdoors the present (Picture: ABC/FLORIAN SCHNEIDER) The ‘90s and ‘00s was the period of jaw-dropping TV reveals full with infinite seasons and drama that appeared to not possible to ever occur in actual life. From Melrose Place to Sex and the City, many of us lived for the conflicts and points within the lives of a bunch of random middle-aged girls who appear good on the surface, however one present has nonetheless bought us speaking to this present day. Desperate Housewives have popped again into our reminiscences and it’s all due to Felicity Huffman ’s (Lynette Scavo) faculty scandal. It was no secret that there was an enormous rift between the residents of Wisteria Lane that stored followers questioning what the actual deal is in any case these years. However, seven years after the present has completed airing, some of probably the most scandalous particulars we’ve all been ready to listen to have been launched all as a result of Felicity is about to be sentenced for paying to spice up her daughter’s college admission rating . Advertisement Advertisement Both former co-star Eva Longoria (Gabrielle Solis) and the present’s creator Marc Cherry submitted letters in help of their previous pal. The letters revealed some juicy deets on who was truly feuding with who, and we thought this might be one of the best time to listing all the things we all know concerning the cast’s secret rift. Over 27 people wrote a letter in help of Felicity (Picture: AP Photos/Charles Krupa, File) Eva Longoria The 44-year-old actress’ letter acknowledged that she was bullied by a sure co-worker whereas the present was working from 2004 to 2012, however it’s unknown who she could also be speaking about. She penned in her letter: ‘I dreaded the times I needed to go to work with that person as a result of it was pure torture. ‘Until sooner or later, Felicity instructed the bully “enough” and all of it stopped. Felicity might really feel that I used to be riddled with nervousness regardless that I by no means complained or talked about the abuse to anybody. ‘I know I would not have survived those 10 years if it wasn’t for the friendship of Felicity.’ Who on earth might she be on about? Eva joked throughout an look on Jimmy Kimmel that ‘99%’ of the present’s cast stayed pals, mentioning Felicity and Marcia Cross (Brie Van Der Camp). Teri Hatcher (Susan Mayer) and Nicollette Sheridan (Edie Britt) weren’t talked about in the course of the interview and it didn’t go unmissed. Cherry, the present’s creator, additionally penned a letter in help of Felicity and talked about a ‘problematic’ star on the present . Advertisement Advertisement He wrote: ‘We had a problematic cast member on my present. She was a giant star with some massive behavioural issues. Everyone tried their darnedest to get together with this lady over the course of the present. It was not possible. And issues went from unhealthy to worse. ‘At some level throughout season seven this lady determined she would not converse to her fellow cast members. ‘Felicity nonetheless insisted on saying, “Good morning” to this actress, regardless that she knew she wouldn’t get a response.’ There is a risk Marc and Eva are speaking about the identical problematic actress. Teri (again) didn’t appear to be as pleasant with Marcia, Eva or Felicity (Picture: Getty) Teri Hatcher Teri, 54, didn’t write a letter in help of Felicity throughout her court docket case and the easy purpose might be that Teri not speaks to her co-star. Although they performed greatest pals on the ABC drama, there have been all the time rumours that Teri and her co-stars didn’t all the time get alongside. Speaking to Daily Mail, the actress mentioned: ‘There’s simply no one else who might have introduced these characters to life, and I honour each single one of them for what they delivered to that journey and have by no means ever wished any of them something however greatness and I’ll proceed to try this, in order that’s just about all I’ve to say about that.’ However, she didn’t even deny that there was a rift or whether or not she is even pal with the remaining of the cast. Advertisement In 2005, Vanity Fair positioned the housewives on their cowl nevertheless it didn’t come and not using a couple of bumps. A consultant from the present reportedly instructed the journal to maintain Teri in examine and to not enable her to behave like she was the ‘star’. When co-star Marcia realised Teri nonetheless bought all the eye, she apparently stormed off the set. The rumours have been considerably confirmed when the duvet had ‘you wouldn’t imagine what it took simply to get this picture’ on its cowl. A rep then obtained textual content messages from Eva saying: ‘Everything is not fine,’ which appears to recommend it might be Teri she spoke about in her letter. Teri Hatcher snubbed from Desperate Housewives cast tribute to mark 14 yr anniversary (Picture: ABC) Nicollette Sheridan The actress performed our favorite b**chy actual property agent Edie Britt however being half of the present wasn’t sufficient for the star. Nicollette, 55, sued Cherry when her character was killed off in season 5, claiming Cherry assaulted her on set and then fired her out of spite. ‘Mr Cherry approached, he took his right hand, and he hit me upside the head. I was stunned. I couldn’t imagine he simply hit me,’ she instructed the court docket. Cherry claimed the assault was only a ‘tap to the head’ to indicate Nicollette how a scene was meant to be performed. Furthermore, one of the explanations Cherry determined to kill off Edie had been as a result of her behaviour was unprofessional. Cherry additionally mentioned he was known as to set in the course of the first season of the present as a result of ‘there was a problem’ between Teri and Nicollette, who have been presupposed to be taking pictures a scene collectively. Advertisement He mentioned: ‘They were furious with each other. Nicollette pulled me aside and told me that Teri Hatcher was the meanest woman in the world because of how she was acting.’ Welp, that’s strike two for Teri. Edie actually was the queen of petty. (Picture: The CW Network) Marcia Cross Marcia, who performs the epitome of a loopy housewife, was largely shut with her fellow housewives. However, it was famous that in the course of the Vanity Fair shoot, the 57-year-old refused to pose wherever close to Teri so Nicollette needed to stand between them. When the ultimate season wrapped, the crew members got a present that got here with a card that learn ‘thank you for a magical eight years. Love, Eva, Marcia, Felicity and Vanessa’. As you could have observed, Teri wasn’t talked about within the card and newcomer Vanessa Williams (Renee Perry) was. Felicity and Eva stay shut pals (Picture: Jen Lowery/SilverHub/REX/Shutterstock) Felicity Huffman Felicity appears to be in all her co-workers good books, apart from Teri of course. The actress posted a tribute to the present on her social media final yr, together with personalised messages to every of her former co-stars. Again, Teri Hatcher wasn’t talked about. With all these clues, it isn’t onerous for us to place two-and-two collectively, however Teri is decided to maintain all of it a secret. Speaking to TV Guide in 2012, Teri mentioned: ‘I will never disclose the true and complicated journey of us all, but I wish everyone on this show well.’ Got a showbiz story?

Few life lessons from desperate housewives…….
owenlee 2020-10-7 23:21
I recently happened to have an addiction to a TV show that aired sometime ago on American television.Yes…Desperate Housewives. All my years when i was a working woman,i neither had the time nor the inclination to be on social media or see television or visit the theatre or anything related .Simply because it was just home and work for me.I had no time or the strength to follow episode after episode of a TV show or even go watch a movie. So now when i was desperate enough as a housewife ,i came across this show on a video subscription i paid for.And before i knew i was hooked on to it .Speaking psychologically,there is so much to learn from these women.Though all of them are not perfect as women,each of them has something that is a part of us.Every character has a trait that is our trait too and when it shows up we are like ,”Ohh!i feel the same way.this is me.” So today i want to pen down certain life lessons learnt from these lovely ladies that we must incorporate into our lives too. Felicity Huffman as Lynette Scavo :———–Lynette’s traits: a mother of 5, a full time mom,a loving wife,a control freak and a lady who likes raising her kids to be responsible adults.What i learn from Lynette is ,as mothers we may sometimes take our children for granted,sometimes we may be able to do nothing about the decisions they take and sometimes we may just need to nod our heads and listen to them.As a mom,a wife ,a daughter in law you become a punching bag of sorts for everybody’s emotions and no matter how much of a talk you want to give to your kids ,husband or your in laws ,they may not always be interested.On the contrary as you try to correct and control them ,they erupt like the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii leaving you all burnt and disgusted.So to other desperate housewives you may seem like you are in control , but deep inside you know things are way too haphazard when it comes to family.And that is alright!! Yes it is!None of us are perfect you see! Teri Hatcher as Susan Delphino:—————— Susan’s traits:sexy ,a romantic at heart,a doting mother,a loving wife and also a go getter.When i see Susan i like her never give up attitude.whether it is a financial crunch or a woman trying to steal her man she will go to any limits to save her family and keep it together.It is not easy when your man is the center of attraction for another woman.It is never an easy affair.Here the trust between you and your man proves to be an electric fence around him that no other woman can trespass.Also what I learn from Susan is when you need to provide a helping hand to run your family ,you do what it takes.It may turn out to be a risky job sometimes and not all jobs offer you security and peace of mind , nevertheless they bring in the money.(however please do not read ‘ANY JOB’here ..Only those jobs that keep your dignity and character intact.and yes, always keep your partner in the loop about what you are up to).Susan also taught me that home is where the heart is.It is only in your home that you feel in place and at peace. Marcia Gross as Bree Van de kam:————- Bree’s traits: hardworking,a bit self centered,a businesswoman,smart,practical and also a loving mother to her children.Not to forget Bree has always been the little girl on the inside although the numbers may add to her age on the outside.Talking about it ,don’t we all love being the girl we were at 16?Ohh yes we do!Nobody likes being old and acting their age no matter how much their bodies ask them to.We love to look younger,dress younger and feel younger.And that’s how it should be…Age should just be a number to define your time on this planet since you inhabitated it.Talking about being practical, we need to be practical whilst dealing with people whom we come across.You have got to say a no when you feel like saying it and a yes should always be reserved for circumstances that make you happy.You need to feel important from within.You got to be self centered to a limit and value yourself..Or else ,no one else will . Eva Longoria Parker as Gabriel Solis:—————– Gabby’s traits:she loves her girls,still misses her modelling career,selfish but only for the sake of her family’s interest, hyperactive about raising her children right and a truly helpful friend whenever you need her.when you are born a girl I think the word sacrifice comes attached with the umbilical cord.You may not sacrifice anything all your childhood even when you are a young girl.You may make your career choices,you live your best life and splurge the money you earn on yourself.All this until you fall in love and now one more person is a priority in addition to your own self.So for this love,you sacrifice.Sacrifice your career,move to another town, city or country leaving your family behind,you cook though the thought of kitchen and the heat in there irks you.Yet you do all this…For love.And you may not always be appreciated.You may be questioned about how you raise your children,how you prioritize,how much more time you spend on yourself than your family and how criminal that is. Not everyone may step into your shoes and see what it feels like .But they are forever at your door with a basket full of freshly baked advice.What i like about Gabriel is she is proud of who she is,proud of her choices,proud of her girls and she does not let anybody let her change that belief.She misses her career once in a while but then she is filled with gratitude when she looks at her family smiling and happy together.When i see Gabriel ,i see myself missing my job,the person I loved to be but yes I also think to myself, tonight I am in bed with my kids by my side and I don’t have to put on make up and rush for a midnight flight across the Atlantic..Sometimes life takes ,sometimes life gives. I have been learning all my life from people around me and their takes on life.Every single detail on how they deal with circumstances provide me with an insight and a solution.What else do you call life? It is the sum total of people you meet ,experiences you gain and lessons you learn. So I am sure each of you find a little part of you in these women and yes if you still haven’t come across them,take a look !!!

绝望的主妇小班群最后一次打气文章
owenlee 2020-10-7 22:54
Let me once again state clearly about the objective of this course. Well, the main objective of this course is to build up the awareness of how important a word "constituents" playing a major part of English language so as to enrich your vocabulary as well as idiomatic expressions. English is like a premium stock, everybody knows it. The thing is there're only a small fraction of people yield considerable profit from it. Why? Because it only not demands long standing possession but consistent interaction as well. So if you don't take it seriouly, that means you're gonna end up with a amateur or dilettante, However, I know perfectly well we're all adults, we've got younger generations to provide, we've got old generations to support, we've got inevitable social activities to attend, not to mention the heavy company workload and tedious household chores. Regardless the excuses are dispensable or not, if you have something imperative or Paramount to be dealt with, just notice me in advance, it's Okay, everyone has one of those days, I won't say that you don't have a positive attitude. All I'm asking is that once you're here, please devote youself into the process, take the initiative, be a main actor or actress, if you rough it, you're gonna wind up with no progress. Still, one word I would like to restate here is "mingle", which I believe the there of your ladies truly did an excellent job except Linda. So yesterday, I offered her a stepping stone to back out of the dilemma, and I thought this is a more or less graceful way for her to pull out of the group. You might think it is kind of tough, but I have to point out there's no middle ground when it comes to effective management. "Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way." BTW, I think you all remember Anna, right? The lady one who taught us prononcation and intonation skills, she's a real beneficiary of TV-shows in terms of technical part, but we had an agurement based on how to deliver the course, my point is to tell a story in detail regarding the experiences of what she had gone through and give us a general picture of how she grasped the esstensial tips, since, you know, people like to hear stories in a recruitment stage rather than having involved too early in the practitioner stage. I told her there're abundant resources all over the internet, it doen't take much to obtain video cources in regard to Pronoucation and Intonation, so that means we have to produce something unique and intresting, but she wouldn't listen, so I cancelled the agreement. Okay, that's it! I would also like to take this oppotunity to share with you concerning our next move, so after finished season one of Desperate Housewives seminar, we're gonna take a break, in the meantime, I hope you could finish the book project that I had assigned you, of course, I will also be involved in adding up the study notes and finding out the most appropriate, eligable and possionate expert to review it. Afterwards, I also want to propose that we gonna continue exercise the constituents of Desperate housewives Season 1 and there will be more practical and interesting clips from other resources at my disposal. For future reference, we're gonna have a change of style, we shift our main focus to pronucation and internation which is the role-play part, the reason is simple, after these days we're sticking together, I have confidence that you all have leant the ropes of accumulating, deconstructing and assembling the words and expressions in terms of forming a sophisticated sentence. Speaking of sentence structure, please don't worry about it, if you look at Jack ma(马云), if you look at the sentence structure he's composing, it is awfully plain and simple. Since he articulated his message lound and clear, delivered his speech with insights and wisdom, he converyed his passion with solid evidence and experience, as a result, it doesn't affect how captivating and compelling his speeches are. As I said, I want to establish a group where link-minded people are willing to support, share and have sympathy with each other through thick and thin. So here comes my final statement, free yourself entirely, release the passion from the bottom of heart in order to reach maximum potential, please regard this group as a spiritual family, just remember you always have a place to come whenever and wherever you want. So,let's wish the best of the following days of our journey, I strongly believe that together we can make a difference, together we can make a progress. Thank you very much for your attention! 按照很多商业公司,比如健身房的、游泳馆的、KTV的、包括在线教育的,他们巴不过你不去,很多挣的就是缺席的钱,我目前在项目试行阶段,完全不一样,监督着让参与,想方设法鼓励你多运用、多表达。 下载视频

绝望的主妇句型结构小结
owenlee 2020-10-7 22:51
There be 句型 + 现在分词 On one hand…on the other Not only…but… Whether…or… There are many things that bind friends together. Sharing a laugh over an embarrassing incident. Comforting each other in times of need. Finding it in our hearts to forgive. But the thing that binds friends together the most is a secret that changes everything. There are many things that tear couples apart. Committing domestic violence, engaging in extramarital affairs, ignoring each other’s core interests and major concerns, but the thing that tears couples apart the most is that no one is willing to take on responsibilities. 有许多事,可以让朋友们紧密相连。分享彼此的糗事后相视一笑。身处困境时互相的慰藉,发自内心的宽容原谅,但最能令朋友心手相依的,是一个共同的秘密 . 一个足以颠覆一切的秘密 . The war for control of Carlos began the night he proposed, and Gabrielle had been losing ground to Juanita ever since. From the prenuptial agreement which she reluctantly signed...to the selection of wedding music she despised...to the color of the house paint she hadn't wanted, Gabrielle had suffered one defeat after another. And now that Juanita suspected her daughter-in-law of having an affair, it had become increasingly apparent, in this war No prisoners would be taken. Martha Huber waited her whole life for something to happen to her, something exciting. As a child, she hoped to be kidnapped by a band of pirates. As a teenager she dreamt of being discovered by a Hollywood talent scout. As a young woman she fantasized handsome millionaire would sweep her off her feet. But the years had flown by and still nothing exciting had ever happened to Martha Huber until the night she was murdered. There is a widely read book that tells us everyone is a sinner. Of course, not everyone who reads this book feels guilt over the bad things they do. But Bree Van de Kamp did. In fact, Bree had spent most of her life feeling guilty. As a child, she felt guilty about not getting straight As. As a teenager, she felt guilty about letting her boyfriend go to second base. As a newlywed, she felt guilty about taking three weeks to get out her thank-you cards. But she knew the transgressions of her past were nothing compared with the sin she was about to commit. There is a general consensus that learning English by watching desperate housewives is an excellent choice. Of course, not everyone who watches this show finds merits after they finished up a complete season. But Owen did. As a matter of fact, Owen has been watching this show, the first season in particular, for more than 10 times in recently years. For the first time, he leant a wind range of advanced vacubulary, For the second time, he reaped a great deal of useful expressions, for the third time, he grasped a bunch of sophisticated sentence structure. But, sadly for him, by the time he shared his findings in DH study group, most of the members didn't take it seriously. Jenny felt unprecedented pressure to assume what life has to offer. As a mother, she had to take care of her son from changing diapers to giving her baby a bath. As a daughter, she had to look after her mother who has been living with paralysis for years. As a boss, she had to deal with the escalating issues caused by recent misconduct of the project team. But she knew from the bottom of her heart that those hardships were nothing compared with her husband’s ruthless and vindictive betrayal.

owenlee 2020-6-2 01:35
Hi,Every one, my name is Gus Diaz, how are you today? I'm a English Native teacher from U.S.A, NewYork. I've been here in China for 7 years teaching English In NewYork, I taught for 12 years also, Emergency Procedures, 911 to Emergency Medical Technicians and para medicals So, I'm as an EMS Instructor for 12 years, So, to total of 19 years of teaching experience. We developed the course for Desperate Housewives English teaching to make English learning fun something that nobody else is doing it right now. Being a teach in China, I've worked in various schools private schools, government schools, training centers and no where else I can truly say, and I'm in all honesty there's no where else you can get a course like this with fun, interactive scenes where you can actually ask questions to the foreign teacher, we'll answer them for you we will cover all aspects of the show, and it's just a lot of fun and a good way to learn English and as far as the price is concerned, it's very affordable it comes that we have about 23 episodes in each section and that's about less than 200 RMB and it comes out to about 9 RMB per lesson. Where are you gonna get that kind deal? There's no where you're gonna get that kind deal, anywhere, any school. So, let's start, OK? Now, you might be asking yourself, why do we choose this course? Why do we choose Desperate Housewives? Why did you choose Desperate Housewives? Well, Desperate Housewives basically is a very popular show, it's about 5 years running right now, right? But's it's still popular till today! Some people I have found out, haven't ever heard about it yet. So, it's still a good way to learn that kind of English that you gonna use on a everyday basis. Whether you are middle class, whether you are white color, You know, you still gonna use this kind of language and you get emotionally involved with the scenes with the acting, right? It's sort of like a soap opera if you know what I'm talking about. You know, the soap opera is telling stories about people's lives, and how they interact with each other's lives and everything. So, it's great way, it's a great way to learn English. Okay, so, let me summarise why we choose Desperate Housewives. one, main actors all speak standard English, and they have a precise tone. I speak with an American tone with no slang so, that's why I'm understood all the time. Okay, No.2, the TV Drama is designed to appeal to the majority of the people especially the Middle-class and white-collar families. Meaning, they're basically, this show is good for everybody. It's good for the Middle-class, it's good for the white-collar class You get both examples in the show, like Gabrielle and her husband, Carlos. That's...that would be a White-color family, you know And most of the other actors are middle class, okay. Uh, No.3, Each episode contains sufficient daily conversation dialogues in regards to different occasions. Different occasions, different holidays, different emotions, like I said before. The Narrator explains some deep understanding of life’s philosophy in each episode which are very inspirational to us to form a sophisticated sentence. You're gonna learn to speak properly, not only you're gonna learn to speak properly but you're gonna learn more sophisticated words, right? to speak intelligently, to speak at college level, to speak at business level. No.4, excuse me, No.5, Each actor/actress has a distinctive life-style that enables us to see different ways of living standards and personal characters. Like I said before, you're gonna be able to relate to the different life styles of the people. You're gonna say, oh! that what I do, you know. Let's what... Oh, my kid is like that too My husband did that once to me, Something like that, So, you're gonna be able to relate to the TV-show with your own life. Okay, No.6, Each episode has its own independent idea and scripts,of course, of each clip are well-designed which makes it easy for us to understand especially the creative director Marc Cherry is a very talented writer. This guy is excellent at writting this show he really gets you involved into the show, you know. It's like the old-fashioned soap opera that we used to have in US once you start to looking at it, you can stop, you have to find out what happens, and that what makes this fun. You can talk to other people about it, to the other students involved in this You can talk to the other foreign teachers that involved in this And you can get a dialogue what's gonna to help you to learn English to improve your English. What's our objectives you might ask, okay, our objectives are easy. To better facilitate student learning in areas of speaking and listening. You're gonna be able to listen better, you're gonna be able to speak better pronunciation, the phonics, you know, you're goona learn slang language You're gonna learn idioms, so, you gonna learn all around English. No.2, offer a cheerful envirnment for people who have common interests. You're gonna watch the show, other people gonna watch the show You can get involved with other students You can get involved with the teachers who've watched the show, and who like the show. So, we got our own little group. sort of like, what is that called, the English corner, right? No.3, to provide a systematic and convenient platform at an affordable price for the students and native speakers to interact, right? Like I said before, the course is super inexpensive. Another object is to enlarge your vocabulary social-talking and conversation skills in order to use these tools in your daily life. You're gonna, like I said, you're gonna improve your speaking skills, your conversations skills, your social-talking skills, that's what all it's all about. It's not about how good you are in paper, and how good you past the test, It's how good you speak and communicate to people, that's what important in English, okay? And, last one, to build confidence and language skills in order for you to create an emotionally involved dialogue with your friends and colleagues, right? Not only speak "hello, how are you?", and sound like a robot You're gonna say, "Hi, how are you?", "How are you doing?" You gonna have emotion into it, you know Learn to put the emotion into it, okay? The contents of the course, how do we teach the course in my lesson? Okay, let me tell you, background introduction the teacher will give a brief introduction of each episode of the clip After that, you practise your listening skills get familiar with the commonly used words and phrases. Teacher will try to pick out and explain some of the idioms and slangs some of the stuff that you might not know. Facilitate students to accumulate key grammer knowledge We gonna grammer, proper grammer, in some of the clips we're gonna choose for you If you don't understand something, you come up with the question, and we'll answer it for you, the grammer question, okay? Teacher will give tips and try to explain American culture if applicable. We'll explain to you about the holiday, we'll explain to you why is that holiday on that day, you know For like the one coming right now is Christmas What is Christmas?

Some background information as to how the author of DH gained his momentum.
热度 12 admin 2019-7-2 17:04
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22 - Two years ago, Marc Cherry was a 40-year-old television writer who felt his career was rapidly sliding downhill. His script, "Desperate Housewives," had been sent to every broadcast and cable network as a black comedy and was rejected by all of them. His agent was arrested for embezzlement and went to jail. "I was devastated," Mr. Cherry said. "I needed new representation and I went to this agency, Paradigm. They read the script and loved it and said: 'No, no -- no one knows what to do with a black comedy. Let's make a few changes and call it a soap."' Within days, Susan Lyne and Lloyd Braun, both top ABC executives at the time, bought the unusual comedic script about the secret lives of women in a suburb that seems ideal but is simmering, of course, with sex and mystery. "Desperate Housewives," with its frisky plot and gorgeous actors and actresses, has now turned into not only the No. 1 new series on television but also a breakthrough hit for ABC, which has been in last place among the big four networks for a long time. The opening of the show, on Oct. 3, pulled in more than 21 million viewers, and the series has come close to maintaining that audience since. Steve McPherson, president of ABC Entertainment, said of the series: "It's a point of view that's not on the air. It's incredibly fresh writing." Mr. McPherson and other television executives said that the abundance of crime dramas saturating television -- the "Law and Order" and "CSI" shows -- made the offbeat "Desperate Housewives" especially appealing. "There's nothing like it on television or cable," said Mr. McPherson, who was previously president of Touchstone Television, which produces the series. Mr. Cherry put it another way. "In the old days if someone had a hit western, other people came up with their own western -- now they don't even change the show," he said, adding, "The audience is really thirsting for something new."

Perspective on watching Despearate Housewives as male
51learn 2019-6-10 18:52
Yups, I know few male friends of mine who love it. They despise the title "Desperate housewives", since they find the show more about neighborhood and parenting and interaction that happen in common man's life and emotional play between men and women in 35+ age group. They also love all characters and how well the show has been scripted and filmed. The pace of the show is another reason they like it, they never get bored, the story always move swiftly and unexpectedly, there is always a surprise element, with the right dash of humor and commonality that one can relate to. And best thing is that I enjoy watching it with those friends, since they find different elements about the emotions and situations to laugh at, to analyse and to point out what is wrong or right about the way men and women are thinking but should not think. I would totally love a man who can watch a show which is stereotyped for women but is in fact more about everyone, it takes courage to see through stereotypes and not get bogged down by common perceptions and what "society thinks is right".
