This is the website.

Hello everyone!
I would like to introduce you this app as we are getting ready for our IELTS in march.
It focuses mainly on the reading passage as well as useful vocabulary. It also has 18 test for matching headings with paragraphs and plenty of word games where you can practise your English skills!!
It is free :))

                               

All of these apps are from a software called Grammar Express, which has 13 different apps to download.
I haven't checked them properly yet, but they look really good for practicing on the move :D
The amazing thing is that all of them are free!!

Useful apps and websites

Some of you have already enjoyed playing the 4 Pics 1 Word app, and it would be great if we could share some other apps or websites that are fun and help you improve your English. Two that we have already looked at are the IH My Words app for recording vocabulary, and I also showed you the Sounds app to help with your pronunciation. Over the weekend I'd like you each to suggest an app or website that helps you practise your English, and then write 2 sentences - in English :-) - saying why you like it and how it has helped you with your English.

Have any of you tried the game/app that Victor showed us last week? It's called 4 Pics 1 Word and it's completely addictive! I really recommend it. I wonder who will be the first one to get to Level 10?

Hi guys!
I hope that all of you had a great Valentine's Day spent with your loved ones,
I wish you all a good night and the best of luck for tomorrow!

Here is the Youtube clip we watched in class today!

Cass Visit Day‏

Hello guys, as most of us have an offer from Cass Business School and received an invitation to Cass Visit day. I thought that it would be a good idea if we all go together as it will be better for us so we can encourage each other to be more sociable and help each other to communicate with other prospective students. 

Anyways the main point is that we all need to agree on a date. Those who received the invitation you would know that the dates are on 13^th of March and 10^th of April. So can you all please agree on a date then go on the link in the email that you received. Also if anyone who did not receive an invitation but would like to visit to please let me know and I will add you as my guest.

London Metal Exchange

I would like to visit London Metal Exchange ,I think it might be useful for our business course.Maybe we dont understand what exactly happening there, but we begin to understand what we going to learn about in university.

local sightseeing

Maybe we can do some sightseeing   around Holborn. For example Sir John Soanes Museum or London zoo

Royal Air Force Museum

What about visiting the Air Force Museum?
 They have a world-class collection of aircrafts, and the Museum shows the story of aviation from early bi-planes to the latest strike-jets. The entrance is free, and by bus it takes 30 minutes to get there.
