What gets smaller as it gets older?

A snowball. As it rolls, it accumulates more snow, but melts over time

"pencil." As you use a pencil and sharpen it, it gradually becomes shorter. 

A candle, the longer it's lot the smaller it gets.

I can see many have said, a candle, does a candle get old when lit?

A candle because as candle burns and wax melts away, it becomes smaller over time.

When teaching students who are learning English as a second language, it's important to consider their unique characteristics and motivations. Here are some of my planned effective teaching styles:

Relevant and Practical Content:  This tailors the content to the needs and interests of the students. It focuses on topics and vocabulary that are relevant to their daily lives, professional goals, or specific areas of interest. Such that I will provide authentic materials, such as news articles, podcasts, or workplace scenarios, to make the learning experience more engaging and applicable.

There are 2 types of classes I focus on, we can either take a more formal approach where we do book studies and go into depth about learning English or we have a "chill class" where we will be doing small fun conversational activities/discussions.
