FIRST THINGS FIRST

Hello everyone. Here I am, opening myself up to new technology. Well, God willing, I'll be posting listening exercises, comments, links, music and anything that comes into my mind.
This blog is aimed at all students of English, all EOI students and Laura's Avanzados in particular at EOI Alcalá de Henares.

I've been thinking about what to include in this first post for a while but I couldn't make up my mind. In the end, I thought that some exam tips would do (this year you are taking so many tests for Evaluación de progreso that I kind of feel sorry for you). Enjoy!

    Thanks Laura for the huge effort you are making (particularly, for your students at EOI). It is very kind of you what you are doing, so thank you again.
    Well, I really love Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean)...albeit, he is a little bit idiot sometimes!But... I must admit that he makes me laugh.He is such a strange guy...haha!
    I utterly enjoyed this episode!! I had already watched it before, but I have seen it again! It's great!
    I promise I will follow this blog and I will try to do every single exercise so as to improve my English.

    Congratulations, Laura!

    Laura C.
