WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!

I know, I know....

The timing of this picture isn't the best given that it's September, 30th... 
But, it takes a while until teachers meet their students and new colleagues. Well, that time is over, and I'm officially introducing the new academic year and welcoming my new students.

I hope you learn a lot this year and enjoy the ride!

Stay tunned!

Dare to take a test on word formation?



Ok. I admit it. I'm kind of obsessed with word-formation exercises. But, it's an easy way to increase your vocabulary. Besides, once you get the knack of it... it's even fun, isn't it? Ok, maybe it isn't. I'm a freak. 

Anyway, I dare you to take the following test (B2 level)!

Sentence transformations

I know that transformations are one of the most difficult exercises and sometimes you get confused (and don't even try to fill in the exercise during the exam). 

So, why don't you try these transformations at home? The more you practice, the better!

PREFIXES AND SUFFIXES

Some of you keep studying long lists of prefixes and suffixes without any results. Why don't you change your studying method? What about doing more exercises?

Formal letters

Upsssss!

Yesterday one of my students warned me that there hadn't been any posts in the blog for several weeks. Weird enough, I programmed several entries for the last couple of weeks. I've realised that I cannot make a living out of programming.... Anyway, I have some extra materials which are very interesting. Sorry again because my computer isn't getting along with screenshots right now. You'll have to click on the following links.

Keep posted for more!


Remember what we saw in class and keep in mind the change of format (in class we analysed a formal email, not a formal letter!)

Please, check this one. It shows a formal letter (you'll have to write an email) of application. Annnnnnd it is thoroughly corrected by Cambridge examiners!!!

Check this one if you need more tips or a compilation of useful phrases and sentences for your formal letter of application.
