Farewell post

Dear all!


Well, this is the last English lesson this year. Congratulations for all the efforts you've made to achieve this year's goals. Now you're able to understand lots of new things and communicate with English speakers. That's fantastic isn't it?


Now you can talk about many different topics like: countries and nationalities, shops and other places in town, school subjects and times, family and routines, holiday activities, the weather, food and drink, months and seasons, famous people, and films and books. I really hope you had some fun while you were learning all of this stuff.


It's been a real pleasure working with you this year. Hope your English skills are going to get better and better as you keep studying English in such a nice way.


Thanks for your patience and kindness!


Have a nice summer,


Albert Escriu

IES Pere Alsius i Torrent

PS2: And if you want to have fun and learn some English I really encourage you to watch movies you've already seen, but this time in English (put English subtitles on if available).
