I took this picture in my local supermarket, next to the checkout. It is not, in fact, instructions on how to pick your nose (as my friend suggested when I sent it to him).
But can you guess what it is?

Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!

A lipstick? Yeah, it must be a glossy lipstick (it's clear from the second picture, isn't it?:)
I need to Get !! one, too.
Is it something to help you breath more easily? Or an aid to help you quit smoking? Or chewing gum?!!!
Yep, looks like a smoking substitute doesn't it... but David's right, it's a chewing gum. By Lotte.
Googling "Fits" Air Mint tosses up:
"Lotte's new gum, Fit's, recorded bang-up sales right out of the gate, thanks to a YouTube campaign for which everyday people sent in videos of themselves dancing to the incredibly catchy Fit's jingle...
Confidence high from unbridled success, Lotte has decided to quietly drop a new flavor of Fit's into the mix: Air Mint. I'd like to be able to claim that Lotte is behind this elegant linguistic innovation -- a light mint being called an "air mint" -- but apparently, French brand Verquin got there first.
Our verdict? It takes exactly like "air mint." The overall flavor is a wintergreen peppermint with a slight trace of menthol. This clears the palette nicely without committing aggravated assault on your tongue like Black Black. There are also faint and mysterious traces of vanilla in the early chews.
Most impressively, the gum settles into a highly chewable, velvety-soft putty that retains its flavor over a long period of time. We could make a lot of digs with the 'air' tag -- e.g., "This airhead flavor is a featherweight in the gum category" -- but, no, it's a very good gum."

Great pic though! First thing I do visiting Japan next month is cruise into a Family Mart and check an Air Mint out... :-)
