A quiet Tuesday evening

Oh dear, whatever should I do with my time this evening? How strange to have a free Tuesday evening after so many weeks of class.

So I am writing to you all to tell you once again that you are a wondeful group. I still have my roses on the table :-) Thank you again.

I also want you all to know that you have made so much progress that those of you going for the exam will surely do a good job.

Remember on Saturday to listen to English radio, an audio book or anything else in English to get you into the language. Meet well ahead of the exam, get together and talk to each other. Have a laugh and relax.

Then enter the exam feeling confident - yes! you can do it!!!. Speak loud and clearly.
If you don't know what to say then say so, but make sure they know you've understood the task.

Good phrases are:
Oh, that's tough one. Hmm. Let me think. So I'm supposed to.. I really don't know what to say about that.

Generally, you'll think of something to say after you've said you don't know what to say :-)

and remember, I'm here for you all the way up to the exam.

Wishing you all the best!!!!!

THANK YOU

Dear Illya

tomorrow will be our last evening in your class, incredibly! I know, it was not always easy! Nevertheless, you've prepared very interesting and varied lessons to keep up our motivation. By the way, I learnt not only more in English! As soon as I have more time I will update my blogs! And by all the work we had to do, there was always time for fun and laughter.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Next class dates

Okay everyone, just to make things ABSOLUTELY clear, here are the last few dates for the course:
6th May! (changed!!!)
13th May
20th May (last course date)

And then you have the speaking exam.
If you want to get some practice in on the 27th, that can be arranged. I'll be at home and we could get together on Skype. Think about it and let me know.
It's very simple to download if you do want to practice. The more the merrier!
