Hi Chris,

I've just found an interesting blog about sharing ideas. Check what I found about Education!

Dear Students,

We've been reviewing the Conditional tenses lately, so I've selected 3 sites for you to do some more exercises. These sites are actually good for any grammar point - Passive voice, Reported Speech. Explore them and take advantage of the exercises they have to offer.

Homework to be handed in after your trip to Minas! 

I'd like you to pick any theme involving supertitions listed on the site below, then choose the 10 most interesting, curious or funny ones and make sentences using First Conditional. Hand the sentences in a sheet of paper.

Remember the more you practise the better you become! 

Dear Intermediate 1 students,

As we have been reading stories about one of the most famous detectives in the world, why not learn a bit about this remarkable character by visiting a museum dedicated to him. Have a look and then write me a note on "comentários" about it!

Enjoy it!

Dear Students,

Last 23rd of April was Shakespeare's day!  Did you know he was born and died on the same day! A bit spooky isn't it? 

To learn a bit more about him and his fabulous work click on the link below:

Now you can make a little tour and learn about The Globe Theatre!

Dear Students in H I 2

Here are three links for you to access, select your favourite one and write your report on it.

Remember that a good report should have:

• a title
• an introduction giving the background to your report
• headings with numbered points
• recommendations at the end

In case you still have any doubts on the language to be used, by the way, formal language, please have a look at page 210 of your coursebook.

These are the links I've listed, pick only one for the report, unless you fancy practising more, then you can even write all three! I won't mind correcting them !

• http://www.cinema.com
• http://www.rockhall.com

Dear Students,

This is our new cross-curriculum topic: Recycling!!!

Here is a link for you to do your research!

Hi Higher 1 and 2 students,

I've found other articles on super foods! How about having a look at them and learning more about them? There are also videos on super foods on the top right hand side of the link; click on one of them, test your listening comprehension then leave me a note telling me what you thought about the exercise.

 Dear Students,

          I would like you to use this blog in order to improve your English as well as enjoy yourself.

          How can you do that? By doing some extra reading on the topics we have been working on in class such as Nutrition, or learning a bit about Roald Dahl, who wrote "The Leg of Lamb", and you all appreciated reading it so much!

         The blog is under construction and I would appreciated it if you could give suggestions about the things you would like to have in it!    

My name is M.Cristina Gregorio Nobbs, but please call me Chris. I’m an English teacher and teaching this language is one of my passions!  I've been teaching for God knows how long and I enjoy sharing my findings in this area with both teachers and students.

The purpose of this blog is to use it as another optional tool for students to learn and practise English! If you have any suggestions or comments as a student of English, please leave me a messege on "comente" and I will get back to you.

I look forward to working with you.

Best wishes

Chris
