The Christmas festivities are upon us. Indeed.
Before we take that break I would like to take a moment to remind everyone of some
practical issues, such as essays and presentations.
All C1 students are expected to submit a 250-word essay about a personal connection with a specific place. Needless to say, the essay should include a description of that place.
Dear B2 students, on page 46 you will find exercise 10A, which offers four different topics. Choose one and write 200 words about it.

The deadline for both groups is December 22.
As for your presentations, I don’t think I need to tell you how critically important it is to be able to discuss a subject without struggling to come up with the right words. Some of you may shy away from that particular task but, believe me, speaking in public is an essential skill for a language learner. Anyway, the presentations will start this week. So get those PowerPoint slideshows ready!

In the meantime, those of you that are beginning to
have second thoughts about the very idea of coming back to class please
take some time to read this article about the benefits of learning a foreign language. Even if you don’t totally agree with it, you may find yourself
picking up some pretty useful vocabulary.
