Learning English can be made more interesting by visiting places where there are questions to be asked and answers to be given. Whats your name? Where are you from? How old are you? Are some of the first questions to be answered at the start of any program, but for a wider range of possible questions, what could be better than a visit to the Ellesmere Lake to feed the wild birds, and then learn enough to be able to answer questions such as, Where are you? What are you doing? If there is any food on offer, then the swans, geese, ducks, and other wild birds, are quiet willing to play their part during the English lessons.

'''''Swans are large water birds of the family Anatidae, which also includes geese and ducks. Swans are grouped with the closely related geese in the subfamily Anserinae where they form the tribe Cygnini. Sometimes, they are considered a distinct subfamily, Cygninae. Swans usually mate for life, though "divorce" does sometimes occur, particularly following nesting failure. The number of eggs in each clutch is between 3–8. The word is derived from Old English swan, akin to German Schwan, in turn derived from Indo-European root *swen (to sound, to sing), whence Latin derives sonus (sound). (Webster's New World Dictionary) Young swans are known as cygnets, from the Latin word for swan, cygnus. An adult male is a cob, from Middle English cobbe (leader of a group); an adult female is a pen (origin unknown). Src:Wikipedia.com '''''
