Fun with English

Hello, everybody. What are you up to these days? It seems to me like ages since we last saw each other. Now I need your comments more than ever since it's the only way we can keep in touch so please, do!! Well, the aim of this post is to introduce you to a new blog, www.ocioidiomas.blogspot.com , I've just found on the web. It's been created by EOI teachers from Madrid and it's full of ideas and direct links with useful information about leisure time in English. Particularly, I like the links about theatre, conversation groups, free online TV and the quizzes. All the links are listed on the right- hand side of the website. If you have time, you can watch this video from the 1950s titled "Better use of leisure time". It's hilarious! Keep in touch!!
