Speaking Practice

As you already know, we're going to devote the month of March to practicing the next speaking exam in June. Every week I will have one pair of students do the exam in front of the class as if they were in the real situation in June. I hope not to run out of volunteers! Anyway, here are the cards, so please everybody take a look at the speaking cards for this week.

So, who'd like to be candidate A and candidate B? :-)

And to follow up on the same subject, here you have the video on How to Care for the Environment which Esperanza proposed to practice some shadowing with. I actually think it is a great choice to improve your shadowing mastery. Thanks Esperanza!

How Environmentally Friendly Are You?

Find below the video Esperanza used to introduce the topic of Environment in class last week. It is a very useful piece of material to revise all the new vocabulary and expressions we learned with her. And why not revising our three R's too? it's all about saving our planet!
