Language Learning is Fun
In my language corner I intend to give simple and easy Language Learning activities which any one can use to improve his/her language skills. These activities are for language learners of all age groups since the language competence varies in our country and it is not dependent on age. More over, all of us have our own weak area of language. However, for teaching purposes I ll mention the class level for which the activity is designed. When used for children they are really fun and a great and quick source of learning.

Poem
I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced, but they Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee; A poet could not be but gay, In such a jocund company! I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils. Now we'll go straight into activities...Activity A - Brain Storming
