Wellcome visitor!! My students often ask me where to find activities to practice grammar, vocabulary, their skills... They usually need some information about our lessons... They sometimes want to develop and improve their knowledge of this crazy English language. With this little blog, I aim at giving some answers to their needs and helping them in their learning process, and for this reason my blog is dedicated to all of them. Thank you for your visit.

Rewriting with modal verbs: Examples

3rd ESO: WILL: Palmistry (Predicting the future)
Choosing Which Hand to Read
Most people have two hands; you can’t start palm reading without knowing which hand to examine. I really recommend that you spend some time looking at both hands, but you should begin with the dominant hand.
Confused? I help you out!
All of these are interesting theories, but I would suggest that you begin your palm reading by focusing mostly on the hand that you use predominantlyuntil you’re ready to undertake a more thorough reading.
The life line is a very important line and is always
present. It represents energy and the length of your life.
1. If the life line is long and deep it means a long
life full of energy and good health.
2. If the life line is short and deep it means a long
life with great energy and an
ability to overcome health problems.
HEAD LINE
The head lineis also very important. It represents
what you believe in, your attitude and how you see life.
4. If the head and the life lines are joined at the
beginning it means the person has a very strong mind and knows exactly what
they want out of life.
5. If the lines are separated if means the person has
a love of adventure.
8. If line is curved upwards it means the person has a
short attention span.
9. If line is curved downwards it represents
intelligence and creativity.
The heart line represents emotions and anything to do
with love.
10. If the heart line starts beneath the index finger
it represents a normal and happy love life.
11. If it starts beneath the middle finger it means
that the person falls in love
too easily.
12. If the line is long and curved it means the person
is romantic.
13. If the line is short it shows a lack of interest
in the matters of love.
Bracelet lines, located at the base of your wrist, reveal your general health-state. If they are solid and unbroken it means that the person in question has a good chance for a long, prosperous and healthy life. If, however, you happen to find more breaks, chains or gaps, it means you could have some problems with your physical wellbeing.
There are money lines located under the base of your little finger that can indicate the amount of wealth you’ll have throughout your life.
