EOI Vigo

This is a message for B2 students:

Laura from B2C has found some sample exams in EOI Vigo's webpage.

They're slightly different from our exams, but I think this will do nicely for our exam practice.

According to my planning we still have to work a little more on grammar and vocabulary before starting to practice exams like these, but if you feel you have to practice now, feel free to do so. However, don't get upset if there are things you don't know!!

So, here you are the link (remember to copy and paste it in a new window):

Thank you very much Laura!!

Listening practice links

Hi!

This is a message for B1 students.

Here you are a list of list of links where you can find listening practice (remember you have these links in this blog, on the right):

www.podcastsinenglish.com (level 1)

www.real-english.com (beginner level)

www.esl-lab.com (easy level)

www.elllo.org --> no levels in this website, so just relax -'cause it's difficult- listen and read. This kind of listening will help you get features of natural English speaking.

http://www.eslpod.com/website/index_new.html (American English)

And, of course, listen and read your Oxford bookworms books.

Improving listening takes time, so, as I said before, relax and practice as much as you can!

Have a nice day!
