Practise LISTENING on your own

Here I leave you a site where you can practise as many Listenings as you want. To start, select AUDIO as the media and LEVEL 3 for the level. If you have troubles try level 2, and if you find it easy try level 4 or even 5. As always, if you have any problem, if you don't understand something or anything, please contact me ;)

I also leave you another website where you can find many more exercises about grammar and vocabulary. You already have a lot of exercises, but you can always do more. There is also a LISTENING section here. I recommend you do the green (lower-intermediate), and if you find them easy, try the yellow ones (intermediate). Again, if you can´t find them, don't understand something or have any doubts, just tell me.

Anuncio importante

Escribo esto en español porque es importante.

La fecha tope para apuntarse al examen no es el 10 sino el 15 de julio, así que todavía estáis a tiempo de enviar el correo y apuntaros. De todas maneras lo repetiré el lunes en clase.

Además, con respecto al correo de confirmación, os digo que os tranquilicéis, que no hay por qué agobiarse. Todos los años pasa lo mismo: no todos los alumnos reciben al mismo tiempo la respuesta de Cambridge, ya que los envían tal y como los tramitan. Por eso mismo, es normal que algunos de vosotros lo hayan recibido y otros no, tened paciencia que todo llegará. Si llegara una quincena antes de la fecha del examen y no habéis recibido nada entonces sí, pues por aquel entonces ya deberíais haber recibido noticias, pero por ahora no hay problemas.

¡Mucho ánimo!

First answers

Here I upload the answers to all the grammar exercises that I gave you last week. I remind you that you can also find them in the book that I shared with you. Also find the answers to the vocabulary test.

How about some practise?

I have been thinking something and I want to know your opinion. Please leave your comments below saying what you think.

I think that we don´t have as much as time as we should to practise English. So, to practice more, I have thought that we could do something outside class. For example, I could leave a topic here and you can express what you think about that topic in the comments.

Another thing we can do is meet and chat, but that should be on Saturdays or Sundays, I don´t have much free time during the week.

So, what do yo think? PLEASE ANSWER!

It's time to begin

I know it may be a little soon, but there is a song I really like that we will work with in class. I recommend you hear it, BUT DON´T LOOK FOR THE LYRICS!!
