SAMPLE MONOLOGUES: MY LAST HOLIDAY

Hi everybody,

now that I have collected all the monologues you have been doing, I would like you to listen to all of them. Click on the audio player below and follow your classmates monologues and even your own! Remember that these are very good examples of the type of task you will have to do in the oral exam:

After you finish with the listening, I would like you to choose one of the monologues and try to write down its strengths and weaknesses! Comment on pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar and try to help us improve!

Enjoy the activity. I am looking forward to your comments in the comment section below.

GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER: ME IN TWELVE WORDS!

My students and I spent our first class today trying to get to know each other a little bit!! We learned a few things about each other, our lives, our families, our jobs.... 

Here is the "Me in 12 words" activity we did and enjoyed:

8. How many children do I have?

9. Where do I live?

10. What do I like doing at the weekends?

11. What colour is my car?
