MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYBODY!
We'll be 3 weeks without class. That's too much!
That's why I've prepared a handout (the one I gave you in class) for you to revise and practise something these holidays.
Remember the book we've selected for this year:
-Intermediate: "The Eagle of the Ninth". Read the first three chapters this Christmas.
-Advanced: "High Fidelity". Nick Hornby. Penguin. You can start reading it.
Try to listen to and read something in English (radio, TV, newspapers).
