MEDIATION INTRO

NO-SPEND YEAR CHALLENGE

Here's Michelle McGagh's own account of her no-spend-year challenge

How did you find Michelle's challenge? A no-spend year is surely tough. Have you ever considered a similar challenge? A no-spend weekend would certainly be more achievable and a good start. Here are some ideas. Can you think of any other interesting things to add to the list? I'd love to hear your suggestions!

Dear students,

Next week we'll be revising the use of present perfect, so it might be a good idea to brush up on your knowledge of irregular verbs.

I'm posting a link to an older post on the blog to help you:

LEARNING IRREGULAR VERBS

Apart from the ideas suggested in the post you can also use QUIZLET to test yourself. Here's a link to a sample study set:

IRREGULAR VERBS QUIZLET STUDY SET

Quizlet can also be a great tool for you to learn about other topics.  As well as having access to the hundreds of word sets which have been created by learners and teachers around the world, you can also create your own sets.

Make using Quizlet part of your daily routine to keep your English vocabulary fresh. For example, it’s easy to use the app when you’re commuting – just a few minutes every day on the bus or train will help you learn new vocabulary.
