I kinda can't follow the idea  

[malta]

smarty pants, а можете ли вы предложить курс для молодого человека, уровень английского которого - примерно elementary - low intermediate, навыки, в основном пассивные, цель - в целом поднять уровень владения, расширить слов. запас и разговориться?
Если да, то что будет представлять собой такой курс (методика, пособия, структура занятия и тд)?

без всяких проблем  
Скажу вам честно поставить на место пассивный intermediate сложнее, чем абсолютный elementary. Как правило пассивный запас накапливается тем, что студент учит все подряд не имея представления о том, что будет ему полезно, при чем на качество при таком экстенсивном методе уделяется минимум внимания. Такое часто случается с программистами, иногда с докторами. Они встречали многое курсируя по программам, инструкциям, у них богатый запас, особенно специальной лексики, но половину они говорят даже не понемая, что ударение не там, 80% предлогов не те, обращают внимания только на времена, повидимому предполагая, что это самое важное и сложное. Один выход - plug in или заставлять их петь   Предложение для них должно зазвучать как мелодия, в которую они не смогут вставить лишнюю ноту, тогда они не поставят неправильный предлог или окончание. Петь не все любят, потому что стесняются, хотя напрасно, поэтому подбирается микс из классических + современных + непедагогических методик. Что-то классическое держит дисциплину, предлагает обязательный минимум грамматики,  занимает ~30-40% времени; современное учитывает все тенденции языка и конкретные пожелания группы; непедагогические методы - это то, на что учебников нет, например фильмы режисеров, уделяющих большое внимание подбору лексики, разработки слоганов известными рекламными компаниями, игры, инсценировки и т.п.
А еще проще посмотреть что говорят об этом студенты, которые уже прошли подобный курс   http://apravko.at.Тут/ref.html

I guess no one told 'em they should

[smarty pants]

OK, then let's brainstorm why

not all monkeys have a tail behild

[MAEStR0]

Well, it's more complicated this time: being frustrated with their limited capabilities, the birds having wings but unable to fly caught those monkeys to pull out their tails. The tails became snakes. That's how it was.

[smarty pants]

Looks like MAEStRO is the only wise guy who is on the way of becoming a wise man


here is another explanation task for everyone:

Why grooms dess in black and brides in white

[MAEStR0]

Well, thanks for the compliment, I'll try to match your words.

And, as to the task, I guess that's the contrast to let the groom know from the very beginning who is the black nigger to work and who is the white master to command

ja k tom u shto kogda popala okruzhenie anglogovorjaschih ljudej... ponjala shto to shto ja schitala perfrect englosh... i blizko ne perfect

[Walter]

Maestro, you do match the words, that are being said about you!!! Quite a funny explanation, I should admit!
May be some more brain twisters???

[smarty pants]

I've just stumbled across another issue which keeps me awake.

Why people throw rise at the groom and bride and they don't pasta

[Walter]

Probably because this ritual has Chinese, but not Italian roots???

[MAEStR0]

I think they tried both, but pasta proved to be unfit for picking up and cooking once thrown

[smarty pants]

Is there any explanation of

Why people wave their hands when they say good bye

[MAEStR0]

Seeing off sailors, their wives could communicate to them "goodbyes" without yelling at the maximum of the lungs thus not making the fish in the harbor float dead to the surface

As usually your explanation is worth a million  

[MAEStR0]

it's just your inspiring tasks thx

[smarty pants]

Have I told there's going to be a prise for these tasks (just for inspiration   )

[MAEStR0]

Details, please

[smarty pants]

Two more tasks and the winner will get details  

[MAEStR0]

Shall I provide a task?

[CLOWN]

Excuses...
i'm late. :-/
May i cum in?

[smarty pants]

MAEStRO, sure you may

CLOWN, U R definitely not late, come aboard

[MAEStR0]

Why do they say, it's raining cats'n'dogs?

[smarty pants]

Just a few tips for answerers:  
 
Some people predict the weather by watching birds and animals. For example they say that if a robin sings in the low branches of a tree, then rain is on the way. But if it sings high up in the tree the outlook is for fine weather. A bird called the Storm Petrel even got its name because it's thought to be a good weather-forecaster. It normally flies far out to sea, but when a storm is near it will come in closer to the shore. But don't rely on cows for your forecast. Apparently the old idea that they lie down when it's going to rain just isn't true. If cows lie down it means they've finished eating grass and need to spend some time digesting it.
 
A 'Tempest Predictor' worked by worms was put on show in London in 1851. The miniature forecasters inside this gadget were actually leeches, which are fat worms that look like slugs and have the nasty habit of sucking blood out of whatever they attach themselves to -including humans. Apparently leeches keep still in fine weather, but get much more active when a storm is coming, and have been used a lot in China for forecasting rain. The Tempest Predictor' was invented by the well-named Mr Merryweather and consisted of twelve glass jars, each with a leech inside. When bad weather was near, the leeches were supposed to climb to the top of their jars. This made a little bell ring, to warn the owner to take his umbrella when he went out. Mr Merryweather tried to persuade the government to set up a chain of 'leech-warning stations' around the country, but with no success.
 
If you don't have any leeches handy, you can try using other creepy-crawlies as your personal forecasters. Here are a few old rhymes that tell you what to look for: 'When black snails on the road you see, then on the morrow rain will be', 'When the glow-worm lights her lamp, the air is always damp', and 'If spiders their cobwebs forsake, the weather for certain will break'. And if you can't find any snails, glow-worms or spiders, try counting woodlice; another old tale warns that if you see a lot of woodlice running bout, it will soon be raining. There's often a rain of truth in these old sayings - people in he old days lived much closer to nature than we do, and were better at noticing small signs hat warn of changing weather.
 
When you want to know the temperature, ask a cricket! Crickets are insects similar to grasshoppers, often found in warm places. They make a regular chirping noise, and the hotter it is, the faster they chirp. One type, the snowy tree cricket, is so reliable it's sometimes called a 'thermometer cricket'. To find the temperature (in °C), just count how many times one of these crickets chirps in 25 seconds, add on 13/ and divide the result by 3. The reason it works is that crickets, like all insects, are cold-blooded - so their body temperature is the same as the temperature around them. On cold days all their body processes run slowly, including chirping, but as the temperature rises, everything speeds up. One expert claims you can also find the temperature by measuring how fast ants walk.

haven't managed
cuz too many letters.

thankee goes to udaff.com portal  [smiley=2.gif]
ok, get over it! just kiddin'  

ps/ for the future, plz consider:
it's nice'n'fun to riddle complicated riddle usin' abatract thinking instead of great knowledge of colloquialisms, proverbs etc/
regards.
