Is English Your Second Language?

The Team from Fraser ACE Adult Community Education

The intricacies of the English language can be a bit overwhelming, especially if you're not accustomed to its tongue-twisting and complex aspects.

Ever wonder why "tooth" becomes "teeth" but "booth" doesn't turn into "beeth"? Or why a "mouse" transforms into "mice" while a "house" doesn't become "hice"?

Don't worry—Fraser ACE now offers new courses designed to enhance your English language skills or help you excel in your IELTS exams! Whether you're new to Aotearoa or simply in need of a refresher, explore our ESOL and IELTS preparation courses. We're here to support you on your learning journey! See our courses!

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
