When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education.

On Tuesday, October 9, 2012, when she was 15, she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school, and few expected her to survive.

Instead, Malala’s miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At 16, she has become a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize.

I AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism, of the fight for girls’ education, of a father who, himself a school owner, championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school, and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons.

I AM MALALA will make you believe in the power of one person’s voice to inspire change in the world.

HOMOPHONES

Homophones are words that have the same sound (pronunciation) but different meanings and (usually) different 

spelling. Some simple examples are:

be/bee

plain/plane

to/two

                                                      GAMES FOR EXTRA PRACTICE HERE

In these homophones matching games you have to find the homophones that match each other, and drag them side-by-side. This is a really fun way to improve your English pronunciation and your spelling at the same time. Start any level you wish, but if you ask me, I'd start with the Elementary level first.

Good luck and have fun!

Dear Ana Bottle;

I just hallucinate little cucumbers with your discourse. I just can say "shit yourself little

       I just freaked out at your speech.      I'm just speechless!

 parrot" and "the mother who gave birth to you!"

I know is not turkey mucus to talk in english, but sincerely, you have more face than back,  

     I know it's not piece of cake to speak English, but to be honest,  you're extremely cheeky, 

you should go to fry asparagus or to throw a white hair into the air. You are a morning singer, 

        so, get out of here and spend one wild night.                                You're a bluffer, 

a  ball-toucher and also your wing sings.

you're always bugging people  and your armpit stinks.      

Yes, you look like Peter by his house when you speak english and that put me of bad milk.

 you  may feel right at home when you speak English and that's what annoys me most.
So I don´t tell you anything and I tell you everything; don´t eat my pot and please 

                 Better, don't ask  me                     ; stop going on and on to me  about that please, 

and go shitting  milks out of this country, to the fifth pine, to sleep the monkey female or to another thing butterfly,

and get the hell out of here, go and sleep it off or whatever.

 because send eggs!! we were too few and the grandmother gave birth! 

                     because that's too much! that's all we needed!

 

you are always giving the note, did anybody teach you that in shut mouth flies do not enter?

You're always showing off, didn't anybody teach you that closed mouth catches no flies?
You are the milk!!! and the cock in vinegar!!!

You are damn good!
Now I´m leaving otherwise I will mount a chicken, but specially because it´s falling the octopus one.

Now I'm leaving, otherwise I will kick up a fuss, but specially because it's pouring down.

Let a lightening split you.

Fuck you!

Attentively,
Yours Sincerely
me
