online resources that can help you improve and practice you
English. Now if you are like most other ESL students reading
this article then you already have a fairly good notion of the
English language. You most likely are looking for a place to
practice and enhance your English skills. So, here are four easy
steps to do just that.

1. Preparation There is no need to start from the beginning,
since you already a fairly good notion of English. Take stock of
your current skills and find out where you are weak. Once you
know what you need to learn…all you have to do is learn it.

So, pick out something from your list of things that you know
you need/want to learn. Take a few minutes to analyze why you
want learn this information, and make sure you focus on that
particular point while studying. It is super easy to get
side-tracked onto other topics. If you do see something of
interest while you are on your search for information…make
sure to take note of it so you can come back at a later time.

learn, jump over to Google or Yahoo and do a quick search on
your chosen topic of interest. From there you should be able to
find sites that will provide you with tools and resources such
as audio files, video files, exercises, and tests to practice
what you want to learn.

3. Use Alright! You are ripping, raring, and ready-to-go! You
studied what it was you wanted to learn, and now you need to put
it into use in real life situations. Use what you just learned
on your friends and acquaintances. Hit the forums and try out
what you now know. Try to use it at least thirty times to really
assimilate it well and make it a part of you.

4. Evaluate Once you are done for the day, sit down for a few
minutes and evaluate how you did. Did you learn everything that
is required? Are you still weak in certain areas of this topic?

If you have a strong determination to learn English, take note
of these things. Start making plan now and start practice it
tomorrow. Make sure to do these four steps everyday, and you

Educational Toys Come Out from the Cold

April 10th, 2008

My son Jack and I took some time out from playing with the
educational toys he received for Christmas and went to a hockey
game over the holidays. Like most 7 year olds, his favorite part
is when the Zamboni comes out to clean the ice. We had seen this
a thousand times so I was stymied when Jack said, “Why is there
smoke coming out of the back?” It’s steam I told Jack, they use
hot water because it freezes faster. I could see the wheels
turning now and knew I was getting in over my head. “But ice is
cold, shouldn’t they use cold water, Dad”. Well, there was only
one period to go and a thousand questions, most of which I
didn’t have the answers to, so I told Jack that when we got home
we would do our own science experiment to see whether hot or
cold water froze faster. To get the most out of this I thought
we should treat it as a science project. I looked through some
of the science toys Jack had and found a science kit that showed
how to do some experiments. Jack and I made a plan and a list of
all the things we’d need. We also searched the internet to see
if there were any educational toys that might help us. We didn’t
find any educational toys, but we did find some very interesting
facts. It turns out there are at least 3 physical processes that
would explain why hot water freezes faster. First, hot water
contains less dissolved air, this is why fish can die in very
warm water, a lack of oxygen. Liquids conduct heat much better
than gas so hot water would cool much more rapidly. Secondly, in
a pool of warm water, the water at the surface would be hotter
than the water below, hot water rises. This would create a
larger temperature difference with the air and cool the water
faster. Third, the warm water would initially melt the ice on
the ground, forming a better bond that would cool the water
faster. This also prevents layers of ice from chipping away. So
we filled up a jug with hot tap water and a second jug with cold
water. We took 2 plastic cups and a short 2×4 outside. We filled
each cup half full, the red one with hot water and the blue one
with cold water and set them on the walk. Then we found a patch
of ice on the driveway, laid the 2×4 in the center, and poured
hot water on one side and cold water on the other side. It was
18 F so we went in to warm up. We came back out an hour later.
The 2 cups were mostly water. The red one had some ice above the
water line and the blue one had some ice on the outer edge of
the water surface. On the driveway, both sides of the 2×4 had
turned to ice. When we touched the ice we could see our
fingerprint on the cold water side. The hot water side was
frozen solid. We weren’t sure what we just proved but we rushed
back inside, wrote down our observations, drew a few pictures
and had some hot chocolate before bedtime. I knew Jack was going
to be excited when he explained his science experiment to his
class on Monday. So next time you see that steam rising behind
the Zamboni you’ll know why. As for my backyard ice rink, if I
can only wrap the garden hose around the barbeque …
