I think I am falling in love with Gill. A long time ago no one else like my Mom, had taken this time for explaining me word by word into a text. Thanks a lot, Gill! It has been a lesson that warmed my heart!
Completely agree! It's an old school approach: firm & clear! Nor fansy-shmansy 1,2,3, like nowdays and you feel yourself like a fool! To have a teacher like Gill in the class is a blessing!
Hello, Gill. Your lessons are amazing. All of them have some spirit, and that makes them special. In the morning I had this lesson, and later on I watched the film "Butterfield 8". There was a man and a woman. They loved each other. The woman said: '' Let's sail away for a year and a day...'' And the man added: "The Owl and the Cat". And thanks to YOU I knew what they were talking about. It was fun. Thank you again, Gill. Bye.
Thank you, dear! I have been reading English poetry regularly (at least once a week) for years (I think maybe 7 years) in an attempt of getting a better understanding of the language and culture. I don't know if I have improved my English that much because of this habit of mine, but ooh have I had fun reading it!! I am subscribed to Goodreads newsletter and there is a nice poem at the end of every email, if anyone is interested. Hugs from Chile :)
This poem brought back lovely memories. We were grateful to Teacher Senira for selecting this lovely poem which my son said perfectly and won second prize in Poetry Recitation Competition when he was in Std.1 in the year 2007. It was wonderful to imagine about the friendship of the owl and the pussy cat. Thank you to the great poet who wrote this wonderful one and thank you Ma'am for reminding us once again. God bless you.
In Chinese, the literal meaning of "an owl" (猫头鹰） is that "a hawk that has a cat's head"（猫头鹰（owl）=猫头（cat's head)+鹰（hawk））. So, it generates many jokes in Chinese. My favorite version is that: In a zoo, there is a hot debate among animals. They are arguing whether cats can climb up a tree. A hawk says that "they definitely can do that!". All the others are very curious and ask "why?". Then, the hawk bursts into tears and says, "That night I was sleeping. A cat climbed up to the tree. And then I had an owl!". When I read Lear's "The Owl and the Pussycat", the first thing came to my mind is that joke. hahaha
FANTASTIC, Gill... You have a sophisticated , magical and crystal clear way to explain the concepts of the English literature. I relish every single class you prepare. Keep on this track... #number1fanofGill. Thank you for putting love in everything you offer to us. I look up to Gill. Huge Hug! Congrats to engVid
Loved these lessons explaining poems because there are a few expressions that if you don't know the origin of them, you can't really understand the poem... and therefore lose interest... Loved your lesson, mentioning the rhythm, explaining the origin of the words and what they used to mean at the time... Please, make more videos like this one, I would love to understand and enjoy english poetry with your help, thank you so much!
I found your channel only 3 days ago and must tell you, that you're a greatest teacher, that I saw in TH-cam. Thank you very much. With love from Ukraine.
You are an amazing teacher. I love poetry and I fist love it in my native language (Spanish), but I want to love it in English as well, and it is a quite different rhythm.
So many personal channel on TH-cam, but yours dedicated for a better reason..İ really appreciate for your effort...You are the sweetest English teacher İ have ever seen..and what a amazing way to teach a language via poems...İ assume that you also create some kind of interest to literature for students..and that is really praiseworthy...Thanks ma'am...Greeting you from İstanbul...💕
Gill, you are awesome. Your classes are by far the best English classes I have found in the internet so far. God bless you!

DEAR GILL, THIS IS AN AMAZING AND USEFUL VIDEO FOR TEACHERS OF ENGLISH AND EVEN FOR WATCHING JUST FOR FUN. THANKS FOR SHARING! I'M SUBSCRIBING NOW! CONGRATULATIONS!
Gill, thank you very much for sharing this nice poem..I enjoy your teaching, I found myself willing to finish the lesson with joy..Keep doing the good work! Bye from Italy.
what a wonderful poetry teacher is Gill I just loved the way she teaches this poem in a very systematic way and this reminds me back when I was in high school being taught poem by madam mshambala ....love it
Hi ma'am Gill, You're my favourite personality and amazing teacher. Your teaching accent is excellent and so inspiring that really penetrating to mind for easy understanding to English language. Stay blessed with healthier life and lot of happiness and pleasures.
You don't need to explain every word in the poem.I listen to your lectures simply because I like your pronunciation and I am fascinated with British accent.
Gill, it's absolutely sensational lesson! Love it! I'm wondering what is the special name for the poetry where humans' characters substituted by animal? Can't remember, but there is a special name for the style and was very popular, as far as I know, in the 19th century poetry. P/S. Lost & found: the name of the poetical device- Anthropomorphism and it's one of the 12 parts of Figurative language!
Hello Gill¡¡¡¡ thank you for your wonderful lesson,those are so clearly and really helpful, you are a great teacher.In that lesson you had gave back when I used wrote some poems, but in Spanish my mother language,Thank you for remmember me this lovely time,.And I would like ask you, if that is possible ..that you share us a lesson about the different ways to use the word " FAIR" many thanks and God bless you for your fantastic work
Gill. You helped me get close to fiction. Sometimes at place aside fiction as just imagination. But in this case imagination allows a curious relation between naturally are antagonist. THUS, IT IS COMING FUNNY. THANKS GILL. IT IS MY second week enjoing see you and the way you put close the students language issues. YOU ARE OUTSTANDING. THANKS.
Thank you very much for your wonderful lesson! I enjoyed it very much, I love English humor , especially the literary nonsense and limericks. I hope you will continue your awesome lessons !
What a cool way to name an owl, it really looks like that though. İn Turkish it is Baykuş which is literally means as "mr. bird" i don't know why but I liked the chinese one more.
Hi, Gill. It's Alvaro from Spain. Would you please consider recording a video with some useful or common collocations to be used or people use in a normal speech or conversation? I will really appreciate it. Your videos are great. Thank you in advance.
I’m in love with poetry and the way you doing your lessons ) i write and illustrate poems on my channel) English is not my native language but i am fortunate to work with great American editors who help me to overcome writing challenges)))
