INTERMEDIATE 2

Hi boys and girls, we are soon going to deal with bedrooms (Unit 3 in your book) and I thought it would be interesting for you to take this test on your sleeping habits. It's a BBC thing. Enjoy...(guys from Avanzado 1..you are welcome to do it as well;-)

ALL HALLOWS'EVE

hello guys, this year I am not bringing any Halloween info to class (I think you've had enough spooks and ghosts and Jack o' Lanterns in your past years at the EOI ;-). My Advanced 1 students are going to enter a Halloween short- story contest (their stories will be taped to the walls of the classroom next week, if you Intermediate 2 guys are interested in reading them) and that's all. But for those of you who miss doing or learning something about Shamain (for this is the Celtic name by which it is known), why not try this online quiz .....:-)

USEFUL LINKS INTERMEDIATE 2

hi boys and girls, have a look at the links I posted last April (go to blog archives and open April) .
