I hope that you're not kidding asking such a question.

P.1's are usually very poor in English. Think about easy conversational stuff. Start with the ABC song as a warm-up. Please see:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75p-N9YKqNo

First check if the kids really understand you, then you can decide what you're teaching them. Have a few back-ups, just in case.....

Greetings- hello, hi, good morning- good afternoon- good evening, etc...then questions like "how are you?" with hopefully not the answer: "I'm fine thank you and you?" ( as they usually not know what they say)

Please check: busy teacher and boggles world.

I hope that you do know the difference between a lesson plan and a worksheet. Good luck.-

I am not kidding with this question. i already know these students and they are fairly advanced for K3 and P1. Yes, I know the difference between a lesson plan and a worksheet, I will incorporate a worksheet into the lesson.

I appreciate the greetings suggestion, I actually did greetings with the students I had yesterday, and agree that they don't realize that there is more then one way to say hello, other then "I'm fine thank you, and you?"

I did check busy teacher - I haven't found many ideas on the internet that focus mostly on conversation with one on one lessons.

You can easily sign up for free at busy teacher and then download all their worksheets. If you download a file in PDF format, just use a program that converts PDF into MS office word, change it the way you want and you're good to go.

You could also cover body parts and colors at the same time. Please see attached example. Just focusing on conversational English could be pretty much boring for the kids. Try to find the right balance.

You can use this worksheet and continue with numbers, how many fingers, toes, etc...once they're more advanced add the Five Senses...Cheers.-

I have to do some one on one lessons, 1 hour to 1.5 hours. Levels K3 and P1. The focus has to be mostly conversation. Perhaps one worksheet can be used. I'd want to use variety, a fun warmer that works well with one on one, a game or two, but mostly conversation.

Does anybody have any good lesson plans for this?

Would her child also be able to piggy back on my extension of stay? (I am not the father)

OK, so I am on a one year extension of stay. If I marry a foreign girl, does that also put her on a one year extension of stay?

Yes, the requirement is that she originally entered on a non-immigrant visa.

If you have a wife she can piggy back on your extension of stay as a dependant, as Paz says she has to enter on a non-o visa and then you can go to immigration with the proper paper work and apply

I think they want the photo page and the most recent and current stamp pages on lt -- not historic ones

I was told every page, and I remember that they took copies of every page last year. I'd rather spend the 1 baht per copy and be prepared, then to not spend it and then end up needing it.

And what dates would be considered current, and what dates would be considered historic?

Thanks, that would be like 20-25 pages for me then !!

Yes, It was about 10 pages for me, and I was thinking that the longer I'm living in Thailand, the more costly that printing will get.

Nothing has change, but they will probably want a same day update of the bankbook

I can do a same day update of the bankbook -- what bothers me is that the K Banks I went to told me that the letter takes 1 to 2 days to write, so the letter (unless I can do it at the K bank in the Chaengwattana building again on the same day), will not match the bank book.

What does it mean when saying (Passport (signed copies of each page) ?

The main pages with your picture and info, and any pages that have stamps from Thailand have to be copied, and signed.

This is what I needed last year at Chaengwattana. Have there been any chances?

Passport (signed copies of each page)

Depends entirely on the office you use what they will require.

The office is Chaengwattana.

I sure wish we could edit our topic subjects. I just noticed that I spelled retirement wrong.

I'm going to immigration this week to renew my one year extension of stay.

I have my lease from September 2013, but stupidly I've been throwing away my rent receipts. Is a recent rent receipt required for proof of address, or is my lease sufficient?

I recently heard that ED Visas have much stricter rules now, and can only last for a very short time, about 8 to 10 months.

For guys that have had Filipina girls here on ED visas, what is the way to do have a foreign girl stay here long term now?

(No degree, so she can't get a work permit)

There is no "way". She can continue being on ED extension of stay.

What are the rules now for back to back visa runs?

There are no changes. Repeated visa exempt entries is not allowed.

OK, so I am on a one year extension of stay. If I marry a foreign girl, does that also put her on a one year extension of stay?

I'm on a retirement visa - not that I am in any rush to get married, but if you are on a retirement visa, and marry a foreign girl, does she also receive a one year visa?

An one year extension of stay, not a visa.

If you know how dangerous it is there is no need to sell you on rider training!

 

Motorbike, motorcycle....I guess it depends on where you live but they are one and the same.  Maybe your referring to motor scooter?

Yes, I meant motor scooter, sorry.

I would still need to take a test to get a license for that, right?  Can the Honda school prepare me for that? 

You didn't say if you had a car or motorcycle license, so:

 

If you've been riding in the USA you will just need to hone your skills and keep a sharp lookout in all directions...

 

on the other hand if you are a car driver with nil riding experience I have to ask  "Are you stupid?"  It's a crazy place to learn how to ride!

 

But you can, if necessary, attend a riding school to get up to speed.  Honda has one and it's well known.

 

Get some basic skills and then get your license.

I didn't even know that there was a difference between a U.S. license for driving a car or a motorcycle, and no, I don't have a motorcycle license. I want a motorbike (not a motorcycle), because it would be more convenient then the BTS, buses, taxis, and driving on the back of motorbike taxi - but I definitely realize that one of the cons of driving a motorbike in BKK, is how dangerous it is. 

I live in Bangkok. Can anyone please tell me what I need to do to drive a motorbike - I have a US license and I'm on a retirement visa.

Not only could blocking facebook possibly hurt those who use it for business:

For me, it's a great way to keep in touch with and communicate with so many of my friends and family back home, which is especially important now that I am in a different country and cannot see them in person.

Messaging, sharing pictures, with all your friends and family all at once, is much easier to do with facebook then with regular email.

Not that I don't have my criticisms of facebook, I do, there are things that I don't like about it - but it's better then not having it at all.

Make your cell phone a hot-spot - if you have a 3G plan.

No apps needed, a built in feature.

With a wi-fi plan it is tethering - most often a buit in feature too.

What is your phone model?

My cell phone is an i-mobile 5.6

I have a mobile 3G plan with dtak. I was able to connect with the wi-fi hotspot tethering.

Thank you tv members, for your help

.... by pasting that question into Google.

I did google it. But to give credit to many of the members here, when it comes to Thailand, I often get more precise answers here on thaivisa.

Meaning, I have a wi-fi plan with dtac for my cell phone - but is there a way to use wi-fi from a phone, to get a wi-fi connection on a pc?

I live near the Bearing BTS station. Does anyone know where I can buy them around here? I really don't want to travel very far just for balloons, but it seems that in Bangkok, I might have to. I don't see them being sold at Big C or Tesco.

I feel like the posters that are saying if you can't go a day without drinking you have a problem, are missing the points being made by many of the posters here. My point is not that I have to go out and drink everyday, my point is that this law is not good for tourism - for example, there may be a day when the drinking ban is in place, when a friend or family is here from out of the country on vacation, and you want to take them out for drinks and dinner, this law makes it difficult to do that. That's what happened to me last weekend, I didn't realize the ban was was in place, and we ended up stuck in a restaurant not selling beer because the waiter misunderstood us when we ordered beer before ordering food, and didn't tell us they weren't selling until they brought the food out. Now I have learned, if I want to go out for food and drinks, check to see if there is a drinking ban on that day in advance, and find a place that will still sell it.
