As fluent as it gets...

As learners of English, we often find ourselves struggling to improve our speaking skills and accent.
Here's one way a speaker tried ... and made his listeners laugh...




So, if transating from the mother tongue doesn't help much, what does?




Singing is also a GREAT way to improve speed, accent AND vocabulary, so let's sing one
of your choices!




Practice at home and learn to sing it fluently. 
Write a comment with the songs you choose to sing in class

EXAM TIPS- READING 

MULTIPLE CHOICE

·         Read the task & the title to get an idea of what the text is about.
·         Read the questions only. Underline the key words.
·         Scan the text to spot the answer. Underline it in the text.
·         THEN read the distuctors to see which matches your answer.



NOTE  
►The questions follow the order of the text in FCE and ESB but not in ECCE
            
► Do not choose an option because it contains a word of of the  
                   text. The correct choices will be in the form of a synonym
                       expression.
