MINUTES A DAY…

A great challenge to improve your English

Monthly vocabulary calendar http://fds.oup.com/www.oup.com/pdf/elt/products/h wy_calendar_jun11.pdf

MINUTES A DAY

Learning a language requires effort but it’s also great fun and a real personal asset.

THIRTY

This is huge database of exercises taken from some publishers’ websites. Activities are divided into 4 levels: pre intermediate, intermediate, upper intermediate and advanced. There are also some activities that are appropriate for all levels and one section for First Certificate students. Start at your level or at a lower level so as to revise what you have already studied. But , thirty minutes a day! You’ll be surprised with the results – believe me “Practice Makes Perfect”. I suggest that you should keep a learning diary or folder where you can keep your notes or a copy of the exercises you have done. I included the following “vocabulary calendar” but you don’t have to use it if it’s not useful for you – you should find your own personal way of keeping record of your learning.

Take the challenge and enjoy learning English!
