Year 2: Presentation Tips

Hi! How are things? Ready for New Year's Eve?

On this website, you can find some tips for your presentations. You might find some of them useful: http://www.englishclub.com/tefl-articles/presentation-tips.htm

You can start your presentation by introducing yourself. It's something you can do easily and I think it'll help you relax.

Remember: you have to speak 3 to 5 minutes about ONE of the following topics:
- A painting you like
- A photograph you like (personal, or important in history)

Good luck and don't hesitate to contact me in case you have any questions.

Radio in English / Christmas Songs

Hi there!

I´ve just discovered this little programme. It's called Screamer Radio and it's fantastic. You can download it onto your computers (it's freeware, by the way) and with it, you can listen to radio stations from all over the world (in English and other languages).
