Best luck for your challenges and a new one

 First of all, thanks for sharing your challenges here.

Second, I have a new one for you: why don't you follow my advice here and practise a little bit of listening every day? It will only take you 6 minutes a day. Do you remember when I told you about 6Minute English by BBC?

Well, I found out that they are on Spotify too. I guess you all know what Spotify is, right?

Just download the app on your smartphone and search for 6Minute English podcast. You will see that you also have the chance to listen to 6Minute Grammar, which has short explanations of the use of different grammar aspects that we have seen, we are seeing and we are going to see this year.

Also, I have retweeted today a link to British Council Listening. Here you will find audio fiction, which is a sort of audio novel that you can use for listening practise.


I hope you find it useful!

What would you do if you started a new challenge for 30 days?

 My dear students,

After you watch the video I have just uploaded, I would love to hear from you on this blog again. I am curious to know what your challenge would be if you decided to start one now and for the next month.

All you have to do is write a second conditional. In fact, you must use the condition of the example and just complete it by adding the result part.

For instance:

If I started a 30-day challenge, I would read 20 pages of a novel every day before I go to sleep.

This is not only an example but a real challenge for me. What is your challenge?

If you have 3 minutes for some listening, take a look at this video
