Well, my dear Student, I am NOT going to say anything about this section at my lessons at school, but if you ARE here, I'm really glad and proud of you. This is where I am going to post extra videos, hints, opinions and other curious things for YOU, the one who is really interested in improving your language skills.

Ok, I guess I've given you too much time to relax))

Here are two short videos with optional tasks to follow. They might tell you about some obvious things referring to your speaking skills, but some of the info might be beneficial/helpful/thought-provoking. Enjoy!

Even if you are not planning to take the Ukrainian External Independent Testing Exam next year, I suggest doing the tasks of this year's mock exam. Here are the links to the tasks and the audio recordings for the Listening part. Allow yourself enough time without rushing, check your results and contact me if you have any disputable issues:

Today, I'd like you to recollect some of the structures we studied not long ago. The settings on the website should make it possible for you to email your answers to me. If not, just take a screenshot of your result to analyse if anything is wrong.

This time I suggest going over some peculiarities of using "as" and "like" presented by the British Council. Read what they have to say and do the activities they offer 😉

This video made me reconsider some of the things around us which we take for granted. Watch it up to the end and draw your own conclusions:

I strongly recommend you to listen to this and read the examples attentively to make some confusing things clear :)
Do your teachers teach you the wrong things?!?
There are a lot of ways to test your level of linguistic competence. I've just found a curious one. According to the results, mine is C2, would you like to find out yours? You may share it in the comments or keep it to yourself 😉

I hope you're having a good time on your autumn holidays. In case you miss some language practice, here is a wonderful online resource for you:
Well, while I'm still waiting for your comments on the film below, I can suggest you taking some level tests online. There's only one summer month left, so spend it efficiently! Do only the self-check part, though. It will ask you to go on further by paying money, but that's NOT for you to do, of course ))
This time I would like you to find two hours of your precious time and watch the film as well as the video following these links. If you get any ideas or impressions you would like to share, you are welcome to post your comments at the bottom of this page. It is really interesting and important for me to know if anything like this could/should theoretically/practically work out at our school/our English lessons. Thank you :)

P.S. Yes, it is American English, but quite correct and proving that the American variant of English also uses GRAMMAR!!! :)
