The Choice - All Boys vs Argentinos Juniors?

Me and Warren are football mad. The problem in Buenos Aires is that there are just so many football teams. Who do we support? As we are not glory hunters we have narrowed our choice down to 2 teams - All Boys or Argentinos Juniors. What do you guys reckon? Which should we support?

KISS KISS

Royal Jelly
Roald Dahl

Often described as one of Roald Dahl's scariest stories, Royal Jelly is a strange tale, even by Roald Dahl's standards!

When you have read the story, click here to see the first part of a dramatisation of the story from the television series, "Tales of the Unexpected".

The film lasts about ten minutes and tells the first part of the story. You can find parts 2 and 3 on YouTube if you want to watch the rest!

What do you think of this filmed version?
Do the characters look the way you imagined them?
How easy is it to understand their accents?
Does it make you want to watch the other two parts?

PPP time!

A d v a n c e d 1

End of Year Exams!

Yes, folks, it's that time of year... already!
It's time to work on your PPP (Personal Preparation Plan) to make sure you are ready for the End of Year Exam.

Remember ... only you know exactly which parts of the exam you need to work on to and thats why your PPP is so important.

Keep working on your PPP regularly - you still have time to make a difference!

One of the most challenging parts of the exam is Use of English so here is a link to the IH Bristol website which has lots of extra practice activitities for you.

Click here to go to the IH Bristol website. The CAE activities are in the centre column. All parts of Use of English are included but, as we all know, gapped sentences are always a challenge so make sure you practise these as often as you can.

Remember there is an earlier blogpost with a link to more gapped sentences so don't forget to go back to that post and do those exercises again.

How do you feel about gapped sentences?
Do you find the IH Bristol link helpful?
