Hello there,

Today we corrected all the homework that had been assigned, and we also had a listening mock test. There’s no homework today, but I’ll leave you with a couple of recommendations:

1. Pay a visit to Flo-Joe and do some of the exercises they bring there.

2. Make sure you try to listen to a couple of episodes from Newspod.

3. Visit the Guardian Unlimited online and try to read at least two articles this week. You can pick and choose the articles – choose a topic that interests you.

Cheers!!

Dear students,

We spent the class today correcting our Use of English mock test. I think it was fruitful, what about you?

This means that, for our next class, apart from doing what had been assigned as homework for today, you’ll also have to do:

- Exam Maximiser: pages 54, 55, 56 (the exercise ends on page 57).

Cheers!

Dear students,

In case you haven’t done EXAM FOCUS on page 83, do it. We’re correcting it on Wednesday.

In addition to that, do the READING exercise on pages 84/85

Cheers!

Check out this nice article from The Guardian. This is how it starts:

The power of tweets
What have Jan Moir, AA Gill and Jimmy Carr got in common? They have all provoked storms of protest on microblogging website Twitter. But is this a new age of democracy, or a danger to free speech?

You may click here to go to the full article.

What is your answer to the question above? Is Twitter a symbol for democracy, or is it a way to diss someone you don’t like and/or do not agree with?
