Singing Telegrams

This activity is something for you to have some fun with. It is also good for helping you to improve your spelling punctuation and your ability to write short concise text.

The activity uses a site called KakoMessenger which enables you to create singing telegram messages that looks like the one below.

Task:
  • Go to: http://www.kakomessenger.com/ There you will see a choice of two different singers. Select the one that you would like to sing your text for you.
  • Then type your text. Make sure that you are careful with spelling and punctuation (Your singer can only sing words in English if they are spelled correctly)
Here are some possible things to write about:
  • Write some tips for learning English
  • Send a message to an English speaking friend
  • Send a message to your English teacher
  • Create a message about this site and then post it to the comments
  • Once you have written your message, click on 'PLAY' and wait a couple of minutes. Your telegram should then start to play.
  • If you like the message you can then send it to someone by email, or you can click on 'MODIFY' to change it or correct the spelling or punctuation.
I hope you enjoy this activity and send lots of singing telegrams to your friends.

Teacher Im sorry but i don't understand what you demand us to do - make a message and leave it in the comment's page??

Kindly email me at : ryokai_kun@hotmail.com

And here is a website I just founded, http://www.frightbytes.com/....
Well, you see teacher, this site is actually a story game???!!!
Itis like this: you read the story and in certain parts you have to decide on where will that story end. Looking from the name of that site, yes, it is all HORROR and GHOST story. But I found that it is rather good so I just want to let you know... Who knows if you want to make that site popular by asking the students at Kolej to pay a visit?? Just kidding. Anyway, if you curious about that site your self, you can play that "story game" thing now. Start your very own HORROR story and end it for sure. Hahahah...
This is the link:

But teacher, make sure you really brave for this because it is really SPOOKY..... NOT!!!!!
Hahahaha a certain parts of this "story game" really make my hair stood up too..... and that is because that time is already 10:33 and all of my family already go to hit the sack(If I'm not mistaken, hit the sack...) except for my brother.
Well teacher, all message must have an end so this is where my message ends. Bye!!!!! May you enjoy that site!!
