I hope you put those puns into good use! Today, let's learn about "knock-knock" jokes. This classic joke begins with the phrases "knock-knock" and followed through with "who's there?" Here are some examples,

1. Knock, knock.
   Who’s there?
   Tank.
   Tank who?
   You’re welcome!


2. Knock, knock.
   Who’s there?
   Cargo.
   Cargo who?
   Car go, “Toot toot, vroom, vroom!”


3. Knock, knock.
   Who’s there?
   Hatch.
   Hatch who?
   Bless you!

 

Learning jokes is one of the best ways to practice your English skills. Today, let's learn about puns! A pun is a play on words, for example, in the sentence "Orange you glad it's Friday?" Orange became a play on words for "aren't you glad." Let's learn some more!

1. "What kind of dog does a magician have?"  A labracadabrador!


2. "Where do cows go on Friday nights?"  They go to the moo-vies!


3. "How many tickles does it take to make an octopus laugh?"  Ten-tickles!

People make lots of sounds every day and even every minute! Let's learn human onomatopoeia.

1. Chomp - to eat food vigorously. For example, I can't wait to chomp down on our Christmas dinner!


2. Chatter - clicking sound of teeth from cold or fear. For example, it's so cold in Hokkaido, my teeth were chattering.


3. Hum - the sound made without moving the lips. For example, mom was happily humming while cooking.


4. Rumble - a stomach sound for hunger. For example, I can hear my stomach rumble after a long day's work.


5. Squeal - high pitched sound to express excitement. For example, the child can't help but squeal as she opened her Christmas present.

Learning animal sounds are so fun, right? Today, let's learn about onomatopoeia in nature.

1. Boom - a deep sound of thunder. For example, the boom of the thunder scared my cat away.


2. Rustle - a soft movement of (dry) leaves. For example, the leaves rustled as I walked through them.


3. Trickle - movement of water on a surface. For example, the leftover ice melted and the water trickled down the kitchen counter.


4. Whoosh - swift movement of air. For example, the air whooshed as the bullet train rushed by.


5. Patter - repeated tapping sound (usually rain). For example, what started as a patter turned into heavy rain in 10 minutes!

There are so many English words that we need to study in every lesson but one of the easiest and most fun ways to remember new words is through onomatopoeia, which means a word from a sound. Let's take a look at some animal onomatopoeia,

1. Pigs say, "oink! Oink!"


2. Dogs say, "woof! Woof!"


3. Cats say, "meow! Meow!"


4. Lions say, "roar!"


5. Cows say, "moo! Moo!"
