Things to do this summer

Hi, everyone!

Summer holidays are already here. Remember that it is very important to revise what you have learned this year. Here are a few tips on things that you can do this summer.

- Download some audiobooks and listen to them while you are sunbathing on the beach.

Openculture.com
Librivox.org

- Alternatively, if you prefer traditional books, you could get hold of some graded readers.

Year 1
- Black Cat Graded Readers (Step 1-2). Vicens Vives
- Cambridge English Readers (Level 2). C.U.P.
- Macmillan Readers (Elementary Level). Macmillan
- Oxford Bookworms (Stage 1-2). O.U.P.

Year 2
- Black Cat Graded Readers (Step 2-3). Vicens Vives
- Cambridge English Readers (Level 2-3). C.U.P.
- Macmillan Readers (Pre-Intermediate Level). Macmillan
- Oxford Bookworms (Stage 3). O.U.P.

- Finally, Spain is full of English-speaking people at this time of year, so don't be shy and talk to them (in English, of course).

Have a lovely summer!
