Dear students,

I´m glad some of you have decided ( made up your minds) to write your presentations in the blog. I don´t mean to give you lectures all the time but, as you can see, today´s lecture has worked!. It´s very important that you devote some time to writing because this is the only way to improve your writing skill. I suggest that you read your presentations carefully and look for mistakes so that you can improve them next term. You must avoid translating from Spanish literally and stick to the English rules. Remember that English has its own structures and you must stick to them so as not to speak " Spanglish". Pay attention to word order, subject- verb agreement, verb tenses... . It is also important that you revise vocabulary and expressions and use varied language in your speeches. So far you´ve learnt a lot of vocabulary but you don´t put it into practice. How about having a look at your notebooks during the Easter holidays and brushing up on your English?. You´ll be surprised to see how much you have forgotten. Refresh your memories and bring English back. I realize that some of you will have to do an extra effort to catch up and bring your English up to date but it´s worth trying.

Many of you haven´t done your best this term but it´s no use crying over spilt milk, so do your best next term and prove that you really want to learn English.

That´s all for now. It´s late and

Good night,
