How much do you know about Britain?

One of our aims this summer is that you get to know the country/ies where English is spoken. It is time for you to test your knowledge on the British Isles and some cultural aspects related to all the countries that make up the United Kingdom.
In this new post you will find three links which will take you there in a virtual journey. It would be great if you had a look at them before coming to class next week so that everybody would know how to move around and find information more easily.

If you try this one, you will find worksheets with questions on Britain, Quizzes on England, an interactive map of the U.K. and an interactive U.K quiz.

If you try this one, you will travel around England while you have fun. At the end of your trip you will have a chance to test what you have learnt answering the England Challenge.

Finally, here you will find a lot of links to further information on Britain.

I hope you enjoy your virtual journey and remember to leave your comments. See you in class.

How to make cookies

Now it´s time for us to make something sweeter than bread, and why not trying with biscuits?. Here I leave you a video where you can follow the instructions and make delicious peanut cookies. Remember that you can change the key ingredient and make the most varied biscuits. I hope you enjoy the class.

But before you get to make the cookies maybe you´ll need some advise and tricks.
