FREE English Conversation Classes (ESOL)
We have been holding free English conversation classes during school term at 8 Atkins Way, Ohauiti, Tauranga (a private house) since about September last year. Classes are starting again in February 2018. There is a Tuesday class from 11:15, but we can have classes on other days if there are enough people interested.
The classes give people learning English as a second or third language a good chance to practice their English. We will try to keep the classes small, so you have a good chance to speak.
An optional English conversation Bible study follows straight after the English conversation class.
The classes have been fun and the students have enjoyed bonding after class.
David taught for two school terms last year at an English school mainly for Koreans.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
