A good way to learn english is to focus on the latest news. In this respect, I'd like to share these to links with you:

The first one is 'Words in the news':

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/language/wordsinthenews/2013/03/130301_witn_wikileaks.shtml

...and the second one is 'six-minute english'. I find this one specially interesting for my students:

    Both resources come from the BBC.

Thursday 28/2/13

Today we discussed dilemmas and ways of expressing what we would do/have done in certain circumstances. We also looked at the correct ways to use "whether". In terms of the book, we covered most of Unit 4.3 (all except section 7).
