Just to remind you...

As from May 19th, you have the opportunity to practise and train for your oral exam in coaching sessions here at school.
These are the possible timetables for you to pick the one which suits you best. The sessions are just 15 to 20 minutes long and will mock a real exam situation.
As you did last year, you should go to the English Lab and ask Fernando or Geraldine for an appointment, go in pairs (of the same level, of course).

Timetables:
Mondays: 14.40 to 16 or 16.10 to 17.30
Tuesdays: 14.40 to 16
Wednesdays: 14.40 to 16 or 16.10 to 17.30

Good luck,
Jimena

Some more news...

This first term we'll be reading the thriller

"Death in the Dojo", by Sue Leather. Cambridge University Press.

Modern, original fiction for learners of English. Reporter Kate Jensen investigates the death of a karate master in a 'dojo', a karate training room in London. Another death quickly follows and Kate finds herself drawn into the mystery. The trail takes her to Japan, back to London, and back in time to a crime committed over thirty years earlier.

Soon we'll arrange the dates and tasks to follow.

If you're too curious... READ CHAPTER 1

See you, Jimena
