Tell us something about you

Hi St Martians,
This is just the right place to get to know your classmates and schoolmates. You never know, you could have a lot in common with the people sitting next to you, so let's find out.
Don't worry too much about making mistakes, as this blog is open for all your comments, regardless of your current writing skills. Come on, tell us, we want to know about you. What do you do? What are you up to?
As a follow-up to this activity, you might as well listen to what these people say about themselves and their countries and do a simple listening test. Go on, give it a try.

Groovy students wanted!

Hello everybody!

I just want to introduce you to this class blog where we can all share and have access to a lot of learning resources. Also, it will provide plenty of opportunities to interact in the language we are learning.
The idea is to help you improve your English skills while you have fun and become a more informed person. Here you will find links to many useful websites with video, listening, reading and vocabulary activities, online dictionaries and up-to-date information on many topics of interest. My posts will cover some of the topics we'll be dealing with in class and your comments may allow you to get to know your classmates better, so don't miss the chance.
I'll be greatly pleased if this blog can contribute to increase your interest for the language and help you develop useful strategies, so please, do the activities and leave your comments whenever you can - that way, I won't be let down.

Have a look around and enjoy the ride. See you, St Martians..
