Let's Do Some Workout!

Here follows the presentation on different workouts Julio gave in class last week. Thanks a lot Julio for your work, this is a great review of vocabulary related to body and motion, and lots of fun too!

Julio's Workout Masterclass

Remember we are going to have a real workout session in class, sometime after the mid-year exams, so get your tracksuits ready!

Ok, most of us had to agree, after the debate we held in class, that money does make the world go around, right? Just like Liza Minnelli sang in this very famous musical play Cabaret, back in 1966... Yet, it can't be all that matters to be happy and enjoy life, can it? And even though economists nowadays seem to be ruling our lives with their technical mumbo-jumbo, we should go back to a grass-roots understanding of economy, our economy.
For the time being, and to make sure we know our whereabouts when dealing with business matters in English, here follows a nice link to a set of listenings all devoted to practicing business-related words and expressions in English. Please, since we have no time to work on this in class, could you just click on those you may find more interesting for your career? Good, thanks. By the way, the transcripts come in very handy too.

Botany

This post is a follow up to the BBC documentary we watched last week, Seasonal Forests. The other day your classmate Oian brought to class a book he had on English for Agroforestry Specialties, and I think it is quite useful to learn some more new specific terms on nature and forests. So thanks, Oian! Here I ulpload a few pages of Lesson 1: Botany. There are some activities too, so I think you should all take a look at it.
