The First Monday...

                                   

The very first day in this new course is Monday; that's why I recommend you listen to this Wilco song, just to start it with new energy and to have the chance "to make as many mistakes as you want".

You also know that the starting of the course has always a common part in all subjects, which is the diagnostic test. From this blog we are always trying to work autonomously, so here you have a list of links from which you can test your English and have an idea about how your English is like in the beginning of the course. Don't get too high or too low by your results and bear in mind that there is always room for improvement or worsening, it's all up to you.

The best of the lucks in this new course!

And Now I Disappear...

This is it; the current course is over; most of you have done a pretty good job, excellent I must say. But some of you haven't been so lucky at passing the subject. Anyway, keep on trying and work hard this summer to prepare for the September exam, I'm sure all of you will pass it.
I bet you've had enough of all this for now, that's why the title of this post says "Now I Disappear...". I'd dare to say that I escape, just as Houdini did.
Enjoy this song and dance all summer long, and whenever you feel bored you just have to click on the links I've been posting through the course to revise...

30 years without Bob Marley
