A problem shared is a problem halved, so the saying goes. If you have a problem or question that you'd like some help with, why not post it on Teacher Talk, the onestopenglish discussion forum? There are many ways to benefit from Teacher Talk. Here are some suggestions.

If you don't have a password, you can ask us to send you one on the same page.

At the bottom of page 1, press the Continue button. Wait for page 2 to appear (this might take a couple of minutes), then select the first box called Free Resources/onestop forum.
