• Correction and revision of the exams.

I gave you some information about the standardized regional exams (the famous 'pruebas unificadas' or 'exámenes de la consejería'), and we made some comments about the most common problems and mistakes you are having when facing this type of exams.

For further information, check the following link:

There, you will find a detailed description of the exams, as well as the evaluation criteria and some past papers.

I know some of you were a bit discouraged by your results, are having a hard time to move on to a higher level, and are feeling a bit 'stuck' at the moment.

Cheer up and keep up the hard work, because practice (the more you practice, the more you will learn!) is the only secret to learn a foreign language. And even if you feel that you aren't getting immediate results or that you are not learning at all, you will see these results some day if you keep up the hard work.

I would like to take the opportunity to apologise for having been 'away' from the blog for quite a long time, and overall, I would like to invite you to make use of the blog by adding your comments, writing on it, or sending interesting links, web pages or other documents in English.

Remember that this blog is yours as much as mine (if not more!), so feel free to use it the way you want and find more useful. For example, you could use it to practice your writing skills, and write a post about the topics we're using in the class, or any other way that comes to your mind.

I hope to see your comments here soon!
