I love accessories and in winter I get to wear even more of them! I have about 5 winter htas, one of which has a little face like an animal.
I need to buy some new vseglo because I’ve lost mine. I should probably get some of those ttminse they make for children, which you can attach to your coat by a string so you don’t lose them.
If you decide to take exam courses in English, such as the FCE or CAE exam, or if you decide to attend an English speaking university, then you will have to write essays.

I have only focussed on 5 of the tips.
Read the description of the weather in Portugal, Japan and Canada, and answer the questions below.

Music is a really important part of my life.
Anyone I've ever taught will know how much I love chocolate. But they may not know, that I also love the British sandwich spread Marmite. Especially on toast with cheese...
However, I’m not sure how I feel about this new invention, marmite chocolate! Read this article and see if you can fit in the missing words. Can you think of any other ‘very peculiar’ food combinations?

Hello everyone,
It’s teacher James here writing from the Thai / Burma border amidst floods and fighting.
For those of you who didn’t know I took some time out from teaching with EC Brighton English language school to come to work with Burmese refugees.
Essentially I am on a 3 month placement with the objective of training the Burmese refugee teachers how to best approach the difficult job of teaching English with little or no resources to hand (see pics of classrooms).
In this ‘Note from Caroline’, I want to focus on my family, who have been instrumental in shaping the person I’ve become today. When you’ve finished reading, see if you can answer the true or false questions at the end. Enjoy!

However, every country has different wedding traditions and young ‘brides to be’ dream about different things.
What’s this? Is it an alien from a distant planet coming out of its space-suit?
Don’t worry, it’s not here to attack earth. It’s the seed from a tree called the horse chestnut tree coming out of its capsule. The seed is called a conker. In autumn in the UK people use conkers to play a game called..... conkers.
