Idioms in ESL Classrooms

Assallamualaikum and a very good morning everyone.
Learning idioms or proverbs is fun actually,providing you know how to use it in a very useful way.If you are able to insert idioms or proverbs in your speaking or writing slot, you can be ensured that you will be getting extra marks for that extra effort,
so why not go extra miles in your learning path?

In our previous lesson, we have gone through a few parts in learning new idioms:
1. Early info via Telegram apps about what you will be learning in your next class 
was given.
2. Instructions were given in class on how to go about it and smaller groups were created.
3. Group work in coming out with the drawing and sentences using the selected idioms.
4. Group presentations where the rest of the class will have to guess the idiom 
based on the drawing.
5. Sharing of sentences using the chosen idiom. 

Now,share with the readers and viewers
 how you felt about this activity in your ESL classrooms?

Assalamualaikum madam.. This was our second class together and i barely knew my classmates during that time.. This activity doesn't only help us in learning new knowledge on idioms but it also encourage cooperation among students.. in the groups we were divided in, we assigned each other with tasks so that we were able to complete the task easily in a short time.. and during that, i took the advantage of getting to know my groupmate which is Farhanis.. From that activity, we were able to get closer and learn about each others' strengths.. now i know that Farhanis has really good drawing skils and she is a good partner to work with

Herpes Simplex Virus Cure.
Most people have genital herpes in one form or another, I was using Famvir, Zovirax, drugs which reduces the outbreaks for a period of time but it is not a total cure. There is a cure for Herpes with Herbal Medicine. My friend introduced me to Doctor Ahmed Usman a Herbal Medicine doctor , that I should give him a try including his email, I contacted Doctor Ahmed Usman with the email address and I explained all the symptoms and blisters infections on my body. He told me that his medicine works for two weeks if taken according to prescription, I was overwhelmed with that statement just to no that he has cure for the virus, after much deliberation he sent the herbal medicine to my country which I received through courier service, and I took the medication as prescribed by the doctor, after a week I discovered that the blister on my genital part were gone, and I don't have constant headache and fever. After taking the medication for two weeks I went for a checkup and I was confirmed negative. Please I urge you to contact him for your cure. Don't get discouraged by your friend or family. I pray you get your cure soon. This is Doctor Ahmed Usman email address; drahmedusman5104@gmail.com or Whatsapp +2348064460510.
