English – ESL at NHS
Since 2007, this has been a blogosphere extension of my ESL classes – a virtual meeting place for Engaged Smart Learners. Interaction with my classes made me realize that huge intellectual potential, creative energy, passion for technology and business attitude of the students could be used to create an exciting on-line content. I am looking forward to contributions from the young writers. About moderator

ROOM 219 
Hello everybody!!!!!!!!!This is AH8 reporting from Nimitz Library. I’m with JV who is the man that participated in “the experiment”. And we’re here to interview him.
OK. Mr. V I have some questions for you.
1.Why did you want to participate in the experiment?
-Because I wanted to test my intellectual capacity and be famous.
2.How did you feel in the beginning of the experiment?
-Well I felt that everything was gonna be very easy and that I could escape from the cell.
I felt confident.
3.What was your plan to try to escape?
-I saw a light coming from the shield, I look closer and then I saw the 3 prongs holding it, so I decided to use the 3 metal prongs to scratch the morder between the cement blocks.
4.Why was the shield your only attraction?
-Because a light was coming out from the shield, I believed that the light was the correct way to find the exit.
5.What did you think when the 3 prongs broke?
-I was very angry because I believed that these prongs are my only way to escape.
At that time I thought that I couldn’t get free.
6.Did you think of another way to escape?
-No, because my only focus was the shield, so my mind would not think of another solution.
7.What were your feelings when you found out that the door was unlocked all the time?
-I felt so bad,because I thought that my plan was perfect and it wasn’t.
So I felt disappointed because I never thought that the door was unlocked, but at the same time I felt happy because I was free.
8.What did you learn in this experiment?
-That some times the problem’s solution are easy to find,more that what we believe.
We conclude with this our interview with Mr. JV, who was the man that participated in the experiment.
Thank you so much, I appreciate the time you gave me to interview you.
Have a nice day.
