The BBC Learning English website

Well, today we have the class with Miss Beatriz, so the task on her blog is to visit and to explore the BBC Learning English website.

I have to say I had never visited this page before and now that I know it I like it very much. Is very interesting, entertaining an easy to use, I mean, there was no moment where I felt lost inside the website as others webs for learn English where I never know what or how to do something because I don’t understand the order or where are the options, etc., and it is very frustrating. I think is very comfortable for me know this web.

I surfed some sections of the web, I did some activities like “6 Minute English” within “General & Bussines English”, I hear and read a podcast of “The English we Speak”, where I knew new vocabulary and pronunciation (in fact this activity is within “Grammar, Vocabulary & Pronunciation” section), and I like it, was very funny. Also, I went to “Pronunciation tips” where I found many tools for improve my English.

I will recommend this website I thing I will enjoy it long time from now.

My warm last semester

When I figured out that I will finished my last semester of college in two months, I was surprised. I never thought I finish the universuty with pressure and so many things to do in a very short time!
I always thought I finish it with calm, planning my summer already graduate, traveling, and just thinking about my thesis. Now I have to organize all the rest of my activities (each one takes me many time) according to university.
This semester I have five courses with differents levels of demand. I don't like one of all them: aesthetics, as always. Well, I will do it the best I can.
Is not the first time that I'm studying at Christmas time, and no affect me for celebrate this festivities and share tie whit my family and friends.
But above all, the worst thing of studying at this time is the stifling heat of December.
