English Breakfast 2

Due to the success of this suggestion I've decided to implement it.
We are having breakfast the day after tomorrow, but before that, I have a little surprise prepared for you. Please wear a jogging suit for the class that day.
:)

You can find more information about the Full English breakfast here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_English_breakfast

Let's talk tomorrow. Please wait for me if I'm late. :(

See you.

This is a gift for all of you who liked French

This website contains useful exercises and explanations. Just be careful not to get confused because the explanations are simpler than in your booklet so they are more general.

English breakfast

How would you like it to have breakfast together this Thursday in the classroom? I could take the bread, butter and cheese, and you could volunteer to take the tea, coffee, etc.
Let's talk about it tomorrow in class. You can also take a camera to the classroom and take pictures of all of us to post later here (the day of the breakfast, not tomorrow :) ).

Remember that this Thursday we have the last review so, don't forget to have your questions written in case there's something you don't understand.
Bring the two handouts solved so we can correct any mistake and you can receive relevant feedback before the test.

Here you can download the "Review handouts". Take a look at them because there's some new information.

Well, I haven't received any revised translation, except the one from Los Dormilones. There's definitely going to be some translation on the test so be prepared.

See you tomorrow in class.
Hi, all!

Marcelo, do you mean we should change the template of the blog?
Well, at the beginning I wanted to change it, too, but... I think I'm used to it now.
If you have a better template we can negociate a change.

On a different topic, thank you for sharing your personal flog with us.
I liked it, especially the Easter greeting :)

See you tomorrow!
