Speaking practice
Here's a very good page I found for you to practise dialogues. Here you can listen to short dialogues on everyday situations. And here you can practise the part that you would do as a user of English in real life situations (similar to the first task of the oral exam, where you do a role-play with the examiner).
Hope it helps!

Tongue Stories Competition
The European Day of Languages 2010 marks the launch of the competition Tongue Stories. Organised by the European Commission, the competition aims to demonstrate, through interesting and amusing anecdotes, how many different ways people can benefit from foreign language knowledge, and to inspire people to learn foreign languages. Citizens over 18 living in 31 European countries are invited to share their stories on the advantages of knowing languages.
Interested in knowing more about languages in Europe? News, information on language policy, initiatives and much more are available on the Multilingualism website of the European Commission.
More on the competition in the terms and conditions.

It’s Christmas
Baby, please come home
The snow’s coming down
I’m watching it fall
Watching the people around
Baby please come home
The church bells in town
They’re ringing a song
What a happy sound
Baby please come home
They’re singing deck the halls
But it’s not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year
Pretty lights on the tree
I’m watching ‘em shine
You should be here with me
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
They’re singing deck the halls
But it’s not like Christmas at all
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year
If there was a way
I’d hold back these tears
But it’s Christmas day
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home
Baby please come home

Sick leave :-(
this is just to let you know that I've been on sick leave since last Thursday. I'm getting better everyday, and I hope to be able to be back in class soon.
Here's the information you need to participate in the short story contest to be celebrated on the "Cultural Day" (21 December) at EOI Embajadores. I hope to encourage you all to display your creativity, originality, and, above all, to have fun while writing and reading the stories.
Have a wonderful long weekend!
