Daily English - June 7th

It has been 2 weeks already!
To excuse, I have moved to new place which is located in New Westminister which means that I have been busy for few weeks.
If you have 'tons of time', you can check where I live clicking the link below! (it is for my parents so... do not need to watch! hahahaha)

First, Convert
I have a app named 'converter' in my ipod.
The function of the app is showing how some measurements, energy, currency units changes to another units.
For example, 20 US pounds can be converted to 9.071 kilograms.
Most intermediate ESL students know the meaning of the word 'convert', I believe.
However, it is not a word which is usually used by ESL students.
I was talking about 'reclaimed land' which means that man-made land where used to be beach or mud beach. Surely I did not know the word 'reclaimed land' and neither did my teacher. At that time she(teacher) explained the usage of the word 'convert'.
'The mud beach near my father's hometown converted to land when I was young.'
That is very useful expression I believe.
TO CONVERT sth TO sth
Remember this and please use this expression in your classroom or everyday life.
Adding one more thing, changing one's religion is also converting.
I convert to catholic from buddhism.

I have to go somewhere now. So, I will continue tonight or maybe tomorrow.
Thanks for reading this and have a wonderful day, every readers!
