In the beginning...

Hi! Every week I'll suggest a quotation on a topic we are dealing with in class, or which is relevant to us for some reason or another. These days we are beginning a new year. How do like this one?:

In the beginning there was nothing. God said, 'Let there be light!' And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better.

Ellen DeGeneres (attributed)
US comedian and actress

Clever, isn't it? If any of you finds a good one, you can send it as a comment.
And now, a song in which Christina Aguilera describes herself in a very positive way. And another one by Rod Stewart in which he uses the present continuous quite a lot. Listen and enjoy yourselves!

Now a few exercises on present simple and present continuous:
- Exercise 1
- Exercise 2 (present progressive = present continuous. Some instructions are given in German, but I'm sure you'll manage!)
Pay attention to spelling and check your answers once you've finished.

And last, listen to this song and read the lyrics. It's genuine food for thought! 
C U in class!

Hello and welcome!

Hi kids! I've started this blog for you. I hope it will be a useful tool for you as well as a means of communication. Here you'll find exercises, videos and articles that I think you may find interesting. I'll try to update it and insert new contents every week, so check it from time to time, please!
To start with, here are a couple of videos:
- In this video you'll find people greeting and introducing themselves.
- In this video you'll listen to people describing other people. If you'd rather listen to it with subtitles click here.
