Introduction

February 10, 2016

This blog will be a useful tool for you to learn and practice your English skills and a way of communication not only between you and the teacher but among you.

The first activity you will do here is to introduce yourselves. Please, write down in comments who you are: what do you study? how old are you?  where are you from? what are your hobbies?  what do you do in your spare time? What are your strengths and weaknesses in English? and what do you want to achieve in this course?

Example: 

My name is Deisa Gómez. I am from Medellín. I like to read and I love hiking. In my spare time I watch movies, read books and walk long distances. I am good at reading English but I am weak at listening. My expectations in this course is to improve my teaching skills and get better at listening English native speakers. Glad to meet you!

Enjoy this blog!
