Hi there!
Do you know how to complain politely in English? Would you know what to say if there was a problem in a shop or in a restaurant?
These are some of the questions we will deal with next week. To introduce the topic and revise useful language for making polite complaints and requests, we recommend you watch this video:
Have a great (and long) weekend!
Hi there!
Next week we are going to focus on how to express negative ideas more naturally and efficiently in English, especially by using “no” and “none”.
The video is labelled B1, but don’t be fooled by that! The difficulties learners have with negative sentences at B1 and B2 are often very similar, and using structures like “no” and “none” correctly is an important step towards speaking more fluently and naturally.
Have a great weekend!
Hi there!

To introduce the topic and revise useful vocabulary related to personal experiences, communication and relationships, please watch these two videos:

Hi there!
Have you ever tried to use your smartphone while wearing gloves in winter? It can be frustrating… but what if there was a strange (and slightly funny) solution?

Watch the video and see if you can understand the science behind this unusual experiment.
Happy Easter holidays!
