Hi there!
Your classmate, Gema, suggests you can use the following page to do exercises on different areas of English: http://www.mansioningles.com/index.htm
I've checked the listening exercises and they're quite good! I think you can even do the intermediate level exercises if you think the elementary ones are too easy...
Thanks, Gema!

Reading Literature
Hi there!
Some of you have asked me to suggest some reading material. Not long ago, I saw an interesting collection at FNAC, but I'm sure you can find it in other bookshops as well. It's a collection of titles of short story writers, with their short stories in the "original version" (not adapted). The books are about 9 euros and include a CD. The difficult vocabulary is translated , so that you don't have to check a dictionary all the time. The collection is published by Pons.
My favourite writer has one story published there. Her name's Alice Munro and the story is called "The Progress of Love". It comes with a story by another famous Canadian author, Margaret Atwood.
Hope you enjoy your reading!

Speaking practice
Hi there!
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!
