1) Sab’s INTRODUCTION
➜ Read my latest news & learn new vocabulary
Hello Fun English Fans, and welcome to March!
In the last FunLetter, I told you about a success and a failure from 2022. Today, I will tell you about my New Year’s Resolutions for 2023! It’s a little late, I know, but never mind!
People make New Year’s Resolutions on the 1st of January. They decide to do more sport or to stop smoking or to learn a new language. Sometimes they make the same resolutions year after year… 
My resolutions for 2023 are:
1) To eat healthily and exercise regularly
2) To create a Paris Masterclass
3) To publish my English FunLetter for my students weekly!
To start with, I intend to eliminate all refined sugar from my diet. For example, I will give up chocolate and crisps, ice cream and sweets. I will exercise at home three or four times a week and I will go for daily walks in the fresh air too.
After that, I will create a series of video lessons describing the history, architecture and curiosities of the French capital, which is one of my great passions.
Finally, I will make my English FunLetter a fortnightly or even a weekly publication to help all my students learn English better while having fun, of course! At the moment it’s monthly.
I will let you know how I get on as the year goes on!
What about YOU? What are your New Year’s Resolutions for 2023? Have you broken them yet, or are you still on track?
If you don’t like the word resolution, you can call them your plans, projects, hopes or dreams if you want to.

9 Common Similes
A simile is a comparison between two things to emphasise some characteristic, like size or colour.
For example:
1) The new Louis Vuitton statue in Paris is as big as a house. 
2) Her hair is as red as a tomato. 
3) Her dress is as white as snow. 
A house is big, so the statue must be big too. A tomato is very red, so her hair must be very red too. Snow is white, so her dress must be really white too. You get the idea!
Similes make your English much more interesting and powerful. Here are some common similes with animals:
4) She fought off three attackers. She’s as brave as a lion. 
5) I have a lot of work at the moment. I’m as busy as a bee. 
6) Ask my grandmother what to do; she’s as wise as an owl. 
These similes use the structure: AS + adjective + AS + noun. If you say someone is ‘as brave as a lion’, it means they are very brave. Here are three more examples:
7) It’s as cold as ice in Paris at the moment! Is the sun ever coming back? 
8) My love for my students is as deep as the ocean – it’s true, it’s true! 
9) The city is as dirty as a pigsty with the rubbish collectors on strike!

From BBC News: UK
The Crooked House: Britain’s ‘wonkiest pub’ to be sold
A pub thought to be Britain’s wonkiest has been put up for sale by its owners.
The Crooked House on Himley Road, near Dudley is one of 61 freehold pubs being sold by Marston’s PLC.
It comes as part of a nationwide review by the Wolverhampton-based company, which owns about 1,500 pubs across the UK.
The 18th Century Crooked House has been a popular attraction in the region, with visitors flocking to see the distinctive leaning building.
It was first built in 1765 as a farmhouse, but due to mining in the area during the early 19th Century, one side of the building began to gradually sink.
USEFUL DEFINITIONS
wonky (adj) – not straight or level
freehold pub (noun) – a pub owned and operated independently, without support from a brewery or pub company
nationwide (adj) – existing or happening in all parts of a particular country
flock (verb) – to move or come together in large numbers
lean (verb) – to slope one way, or to move the top part of something in a particular direction
mining (noun) – the activity of taking things like coal or metal from the ground by digging
sink (verb) – to go down below the surface or to the bottom of a liquid or soft substance
