Yesterday Queen Elizabeth II marked 65 years on British throne. She became the first British monarch to reign for 65 years. Her Sapphire Jubilee was marked with ceremonial gun salutes at London's Green Park and the Tower of London, and in several other locations across the United Kingdom. The bells at Westminster Abbey in central London were also rung in honor of the occasion.
A photograph taken by British photographer David Bailey in 2014 has been reissued to celebrate the anniversary. In the photo, the Queen is wearing sapphire jewelry that was given to her as a wedding gift by her father King George VI in 1947.

Jazz Chants are exercises when students repeat rhythmically words and short phrases to music. Jazz Chant is a rhythmic expression of natural language which links the rhythms of spoken American English to the rhythms of traditional American jazz.
The technique of jazz chanting was developed by Carolyn Graham during her twenty-five years of teaching ESL in the American Language Institute of New York University. Ms. Graham is the author of numerous Jazz Chants® books, all published by Oxford University Press.
Here's the example of how to improve your speaking skills using a jazz chant.
