I wish I could see you soon (and I don't mean September)

"Sometimes, ordinary things become extraordinary". This is my own translation of the sentence that comes at the end of this video, which you'll probably see hundreds of times this summer. I dedicate it to all of you from my 2nd year classes of 2010-11. Enjoy this Mediterranean story while you listen to the beautiful song. Then, if you're curious about the lyrics, click here and fill in the gaps. If you're even more curious, click here to get the full lyrics.



TALKING ABOUT WISHING ... I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK FOR TOMORROW'S EXAM!

Test yourself before the final test

Would you like to see a sample of our Basic Level tests? Click here to take a Reading Comprehension test and a Listening Comprehension one. Then, check your answers. You might also want to do the writing test, but you'll have to ask somebody to help you to check it. Remember that our FINAL EXAMS will be next WEDNESDAY, AT 4:15, in CLASSROOM 1. Check the blog again, as I'll soon post the timetables for the ORAL EXAMS.

Annoying?


The other day, the word "annoying" came up in class. I was surfing the net today when I came across the review of a book about "what annoys us" or, more colloquially, "what bugs us". Well, it may be a bit difficult for your level, but I think you'll probably understand enough to tell me of a few things which typically "annoy" people, according to the article. When you find them, write them on a piece of paper and hand it in to me in class. (Click on the picture to get to the article).
