Hello from Cambridge!

Hello!
I hope you are enjoying your summer and studying a little bit for your exams in September. I'm in Cambridge taking a course at Cambridge University but if you have any doubts just e-mail me!

Another piece of news is that I'm moving this year to another EOI, so I won't have the pleasure to have you as my students next year, but you can have access to my blogs. I'm moving my blog to another site too. Just follow the link on the post above.
My best regards,
Cristina.

Hello all of you!

I hope you are enjoying your summer! But remember that there is just almost one month left if you have to resit the exam. So, I encourage you to read a book in English, to watch movies o series, to listen to the radio, to download podcasts or to do some grammar practise. I've found a document created by a teacher at the EOI Palma where you can practise your grammar with cloze activities.

SPEAK UP!

Hello everybody!

I've found by chance the magazine Speak Up online. It's for Italian people who learn English because the vocabulary and the explanations of the web are in Italian but the articles of the magazine are in English. You can practise your reading and your listening too. Some of you asked me some listenings to download and listen them in your ipod or mp4. Here you are! You can download them. They are not too long. Speak Up online.
