After a busy month, the winner of our private class, with 34 points, is @Jean-claude Menakuanzambi! Congratulations! I will contact you soon to organise your private class. Commiserations go to @Alessandra Deffenu and @Pacifique Umurisa, who were very close but only just missed out. To everyone else... Our winner this month only received 34 likes on his posts and comments. Make sure you read and give likes to other people's comments, and send comments yourself to other students. It's not just a great way to win a class, but it's also a fabulous way to make friends who are learning just like you! Happy October, everyone! :)

I do not like flying. I'm flying today. I wish they would invent jetpacks or something, or really fast boats. Or a high speed train that is REAAAALLY high speed. I want to know today - what is your least favourite transport? Tell me why in the comments and keep me occupied while I deal with my absolute hatred of flying!

For today's daily challenge, let's do something simple. Let me know in the comments: How do people say "good morning" in your country? Do they have a special way of saying it? In northern England, it's typical for people to say "are you alright?" Instead of saying "hello". In Ireland, you also hear "top of the morning to you!" What about you guys?

Hey guys! I'm going to write a few options for different situations where you need to use English, and I would like you to: - Choose the option that makes you ANXIOUS (maybe you wouldn't even do it in the context of a course!) - Write a comment telling me if you would do this in an English course, or if it's too much for you! As I continue to build my course, I am curious to learn about your BOUNDARIES (things that you refuse to do). I want to know if there is an assignment that would make you too scared to move on with my course. Everyone has different BOUNDARIES, which is completely understandable. It is my job to adapt to you! So tell me, which of these options is too much for you?

I'm actually quite curious about where all of our lovely students are. Were you all in the path of the eclipse or did you miss it? Or perhaps you were too busy to stop and take a look? Let me know in the comments!
