Back to school: the 2013-2014 school year is about to start!!!

Dear students & readers of this blog,

I know, it is not easy to come to terms with the fact that summer holidays are over, and that we have to blow the dust off our backpacks and our notebooks and our folders. Yes, I'm afraid... IT'S TIME TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL!



So I want this first post of the academic year 2013-2014 to be one of welcome. Both if you have been students of mine in the past, if you are going to be so this year, or if you just happened to pass by, this blog is for you, and intends to be a place of encounter for all of you, somewhere where you can learn new things about English and English-speaking countries, where you can find resources to practise the different skills (YES, WRITING INCLUDED!!), and, as far as my students-to-be are concerned, a place where you can keep track of what we're doing in class.


 Keep track of the posts that will be published in the main body of the blog. But also, very important, don't lose sight of the SIDEBAR. Right there is where you will find, apart from information on the weather in Plasencia and in London, or a converter for measure, speed, distance and so on, PERMANENT LINKS  to online dictionaries, to sites like the BBC or the British Council, or to different resources to practise your skills. You will also find links to different resources like newspapers, magazines or such things as the Shakespearean insulter (yes, you read well).

Please take some time to have a look and...enjoy. Welcome to my blog!!! And...

OFF WE GO!!
