What about your holidays?

Hi again, Since there are some of my students who are bored at home, I'll remind you two things: The deadline to use the digital book was the end of June, so you are not allowed to use it now. However, the Oxford Online Learning Zone offers you a lot of activities. You should have activated your account last October at http://oolz.oupe.es/eso/en/register. I gave you an access code and an access key. Have a look at your diary in October.

Summer time!

Hi everybody! I'm really sorry for not having been able to say goodbye to you. I hope you will enjoy your summer holidays and you will try to improve your English.You may be wondering: how can I do that? It's easy! You can read graded books in English, listen to English songs or watch English TV programs. In this way, you will have a good time and you will learn too. Happy summer!
