L4 BBC R4 Book of the Week - Dumbledores &c.

Did you know that  dumbledore is an Old English word for bumblebee (abejorro)?

Radio 4's Book of the Week "A Sting in the Tail" is the author's account of how he became interested in bees. This might not sound interesting, but it is. It's fascinating - and extremely well-read. I strongly recommend it. As with most BBC R4 programmes, each episode's available to listen to for one week only after its initial broadcast.

Happy listening!

L.1 Modelo de Examen

A lo largo de esta tarde, voy a subir el modelo de examen a Consigna. Palabras clave: Mark Elliott Level 1 Practice Exam. La clave es la de siempre. Se hará en casa y se comentará en clase la semana que viene.

Level 4 Exam Plantilla

The L.4 Committe has just informed me that there is no plantilla for L4 - we correct the exam itself, so please disregard the previous (and now re-titled) post on the subject.
