I learnt this in my infant school 40+ letters of the alphabet, words not ending with 'e'. Then went to middle school and had to start all over again.

How funny, funny peculiar that is, one of my friends children has just come visiting me to get help with their English homework... They have to write what they did on the Easter break and start the story with the phrase: "I have been"

How about "this Easter holiday, I have been mainly eating bourbon biscuits".
