So, back to basics..... Noun formation exercises.

Welcome back!

First of all, I'd like to welcome the new academic year. Annnnd, you don't have to remind me that i'ts October and the academic year has already been running since September 1st. 

But I'd rather we start using this blog after a few lessons. And, since we've already started unit 1 of our books, I thought that that time has come!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this year 2017/2018 and be patient with the nice, poor, teacher who's trying to help you learn English.

I'll pray in order to avoid ending up like last year...
