English In a Time of COVID


Hello Everyone,

During this difficult time, I wanted to give you some resources to help you continue learning.

Here is a list of things that you can do at anytime, and it is a good place to start.

·         Organise your vocabulary books – revise, test yourself, add new words
·         Try to read an article in English.  A good free online newspaper is The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/uk     (but don’t read the articles on COVID-19 ;D!)
·         Watch a documentary, series or film in VO (subtitled, of course!)
·         Write a journal in English – everyday write a sentence or paragraph, use a new word or a new tense
·         Email, text or Whatsapp other classmates, to keep up-to-date
·         Do some online grammar exercises.  This a good website Learning English - Exercises, Grammar, Vocabulary, Tests, Games

I will continue to put resources up on this blog for you, as often as I can. 

Take care and keep safe,

Jonquil
