WELCOME TO A NEW SCHOOL YEAR!!

 It's nearly the end of summer. You'll say goodbye to the beach days, the swimming pools, the flip-flops and the sunscreen shortly. Soon you'll be returning to school.
Think of the start of each school year like a new beginning. It's a good opportunity to get started on the right foot.
I wish you have a great year learning English. My intention is to continue with this blog in order to help you with your English. 
                 HAVE A FANTASTIC YEAR!! 
                          Your English teacher,
                                     Gloria.
