English Conversation: The Meaning of Hand Gestures
English Conversation: The Meaning of Hand Gestures: Have you noticed that you make hand gestures while speaking your native language? Body movement during conversation can give off social clues that are particular to a certain culture. But when people learn a language, they often forget to learn the words and expressions that we make with our hands. You may find that a hand gesture in your culture has a different meaning in English-speaking countries. In this lesson, I will teach you common hand gestures used when speaking English.

Preschool in the United Kingdom
There are many options for preschool in the UK before your child begins formal education at age five. Although childcare is expensive, there is financial support available for parents.
The state school system in the United Kingdom begins at the age of five. But parents can decide to take the opportunity to prepare their children for the education system by attending preschools such as crèches, nurseries, kindergartens or playgroups.
Children can attend any of the preschools from Monday to Friday, most of which will be open from 7 am in the morning through to 6 pm in the evening to allow parents to work a full day. Each day, children will learn about social interaction as well as developing their grasp of language, numbers and colours. For information on childcare in your area, take a look at the British government’s Family Information Service at www.gov.uk/find-family-information-service.
Childcare is undeniably expensive in the UK. The net cost as a percentage of family income is 26.6 per cent. This is the second highest in the OECD after Switzerland. The cost of childcare lies with the parents, although there are government initiatives to help with the outlay. Those initiatives include childcare vouchers, which can be purchased tax free from employers. Depending on the amount you earn per month, you may also be entitled to childcare tax credits. In addition, children aged three and four are entitled to 15 hours of free education for 38 weeks of the year, whether that is at nurseries, playgroups or even with a child minder. Some families may also be entitled to free childcare for two year olds. Companies and charities such as the Day Care Trust (www.daycaretrust.org.uk) offer helpful advice.
