Who stands by you through thick and thin?

When you're feeling down and you can only see an empty glass in front of you, there's always somebody who comes to your rescue and lets you see the bright side of things. I recommend this Song to all to those without whom I'd feel forsaken and to those who believe that unconditional love does still exist!

Money, money, money

We have all heard that money makes the world go round. But is it really true? For all those who are always thinking about making a better world by working in NGOs, it isn't. And neither is for me.

Who dislikes prepositions?

I do. More than anything else on the face of the earth. But, do you think they are going to disappear? Do not dare, they will not!  So, we'd better come to terms with the idea of getting acquainted with them. Don't you think? First, we have prepositions of place and movement and we have dependent prepositions. Do you think you will pass this test? I hope so.

Environmental issues

The June exams are almost done, but you may not know if you will have your B1 certificate on this occasion.  Don't worry! September will offer you the chance to pass the exam with flying colours.  Have you stopped to think that you might have to talk about environmental issues?. Do you think you know enough vocabulary about this topic to succeed? I hope so, but if this is not the case, revise the vocabulary here and do the guessing game in Educaplay. Try your luck and enjoy yourself!
