Every July, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus comes to Houston, and we love the opportunity to take our Intensive English students to see the “greatest show on earth!” Last Friday, 53 of our ESL students went to the dragon-themed circus to watch the acrobats, trapeze artists, “kung-fu” masters, animal trainers, stunt motorcyclists, and, of course, a troupe of boisterous clowns compete to see if they have what it takes to conquer the mighty dragon. Our students loved watching Alexander Lacey tame his pride of lions and were all on the edge of their seats as eight motorcyclists zoomed around inside a 16-foot steel globe, breaking the world record.
