Christmas is round the corner again.

Why don't you write your letter to Santa telling him what you want for Xmas (as many write it)?

Presents, dreams, wishes... we'd love to listen to them.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas... :-)

Birth of a company

Have you created a company? If so, congratulations, otherwise you can learn something about how to do it or just make some comments about it, on this blog http://birthofacompany.blogspot.com/.

This is a blog from one of you partners. He's trying to create a company, so he's divided the process in several steps. Oscar is writing about each step. If you thing he is right or not, write a comment on his blog. If you have a different opinion about the process, tell it to him. This is a good opportunity for you to write in English about something very important for you: your future job.

Don't be shy! This is good for you.

Remember you can find other students or teachers' blogs in the links on your right. Try some of them!

What's that little orange square on the right?

What this very short video and, after that, if you don't catch what's the meaning of those little orange squares, let me know, please... (using the comments button)

Those "headlines" on the right...

As I can guess from the activity in the last poll that I added here in this blog, I realize that you don't know exactly what are the links on the right. Well. Most of the most famous British and American newspapers have a specialized section on "travels and tourism".

What I did was including feeds from all these important publications (The Times on line, The Independent, The Guardian, The New York Times, etc...) so that you don't have to visit all those pages in order to look for articles dealing with tourism.

This way, articles will go to in real "fresh" English you and won't have to look for specialized text to improve your reading any more. But not only updated articles will be shown here in this blog using this method, also video (National Geographic) and audio archives could be listened and archived in your hard disk or mp3 player so that you could listen in the underground or by car...

You will find too feed to pages to learn English such as the one from the BBC or ESL About English
