Well...it's amazing how time goes by so quickly... but more or less in a couple of months we will have finished this year course!
Do you remember that questionnaire I ask you to fill in during the first week of the course? Come on try it? That one where you told me about your main problems with English (speaking, listening, writing, reading, pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar) and some things you were going to do by yourself during the whole year at home to try to overcome them. By now I'm sure you can imagine my next question... yes... you are right, did you do anything of the things you said you would? In a week or so, I will return your questionnaires and you will have to tick the things you did and cross the ones you didn't, so here you have one more oportunity to try to do something about it, apart from the lots of interesting webpages you can find in the blog, for example in MY FAVOURITE LINKS section.
Yeah... I know... I know... you don't have much free time for that, but you know sometimes you need to find it to work a bit more if you want to improve your skills with the language. A quick way to practise it's a quick access to the information so look at what I found! a new link, which I already added to My Favourite Links, called the The English Club includes a lots of links ordered by skills, pronunciation, vocabulary... so... come on it's perfect to help you practise a bit more in a more independent way. So, try it!
