It is a process by which plants and other organisms use to convert light energy into chemical energy. Plants make their food by using the process of photosynthesis.
Plants need: carbon dioxide, water and sunlight for photosynthesis.The process of photosynthesis is when the energy from the sunlight is absorbed by the choloroplast, water is used and oxygen is then produced.

Well, "photo" comes from Greek and means "light". I guess it's because the plants need light in order to make this "synthesis" from which they fed.

Not so genius, but this has worked with my Asian and Latino students: Substitute all "Th-" in words with a "D-", as it is an easier starting point e.g. instead of "The", ask them to say De(almost like a form of pidgin english: de boi VS the boy). Its a matter of throat to tongue, where sounds with "T" and "D" are easier to begin with and then you will gradually progress to the "Th-" sounds as the find confindence and comfort. You could always tell them to pretend they are blowing out candles on a birthday cake; and for the "Th" sound their tongue should gently touch their teeth, like in words like "Thin" or "This". Have them practice the not so elated soft "Th" sound-- its like their tongue is having a short siesta on their teeth! Such a mental jounery and lots of creativity will get you through a lot of pronounciation hurdles.

The biggest challenge I faced while learning English was understanding and using different tenses correctly. It took time to get used to the various rules and exceptions.
