A month is a unit of time that was first used and invented in Mesopotamia to measure the natural period related to the cycle of the moon.

Our modern Gregorian calendar has twelve months, of either 28, 30 or 31 days during the common year. Nearly every 4 years is a Leap Year when an extra (intercalary) day is added at the end of February, the Leap Day on 29 February.



There are many calendars that use months to divide up the year such as the Islamic calendar, the Hebrew calendar, and the Hindu calendar to just name a few. Although the Gregorian calendar is the most commonly used calendar today, other calendars are still used to calculate certain holidays and annual feasts to correspond with the Gregorian calendar.

SIMPLE PRESENT

Use the Simple Present to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.

Examples:

• I play tennis.
• She does not play tennis.
• Does he play tennis?
• The train leaves every morning at 8 AM.
• The train does not leave at 9 AM.
• When does the train usually leave?
• She always forgets her purse.

PERSONAL APPEARANCE

Appearance is an often disregarded part of communication and presentation skills. Visual impact is at least as important as verbal impact, people will very quickly make assumptions based on your facial expressions, the clothes you wear, how well groomed you are and your body language.
