Todays post is a little different than my usual posts.  I’ve written this post with a number of common grammer and spelling errors that I want you to find.  This is like a game of ESL hide-and-seek!

Tomorrow I will re-post this exact same passage highlighting all the errors that I have made so you can see if you found all the mistake.  Good luck finding all the grammar and spelling errors in this post!

Here is a little story…
Their is a women named Mary who lives in a small cabin in the woods.  She have been living in this same cabin  her hole  life.  She don’t know what she would do if she couldn’t life there any more as its the only place that feels like home to her.  In the forest wear mary lives there are many trees, a river, and of course animals that Mary know good.  Their are more animals living in and a round  Marys house than you could possibility imagine.  The bigger animals are bears, the bears are bigger than the deers, rabbits, and squirrels, but the mouses are the smallest animals of all.  Mary grew her own food in the garden next her house.  Her grows food in her garden in all the sumer and than stores it in cans and botles to be aten during the winter when fresh foods are hard to find.  Mary don’t need to buy any foods from the grocery store in fact, she gets all she needs from the woods.  Her life is simple but happy.

I am living in Washington, DC now, but I have lived all over the US and also spent many years living and working abroad. I started teaching English as a second language in 2005 after completing a Master's in Applied Linguists and a Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults' (CELTA). Since that time I have taught ESL in the United States at the community college and university level. I have also gone on to pursue my doctorate in psychology and now I also teach courses in psychology. I like to stay connected to ESL learners around the world through Transparent Languages ESL Blog.
