Last year I had finished my teacher training and now I’m studying for pass next July the competitive exam. I hope I will pass the exam, because I’m studying so much. I was started learning English at school when I was 8 years old and I finished in high school at 17 years old, but I know is not enough because at school the English is very soft, and now that I’ve finished the university I decide improve my English, because I need to know English for finding job in some school and the most important question, to can teaching English to children. And finally I want to learn English because I love travel and I want understand people the others countries and speak with them.

Hi Carmen!!
how are you?
I just have a question: I have already bought a book chosen from peguin website, ” The doll’s house and other stories ” to be exactly, what do you recommend us to do first of all?? Read it and the listen to it by its audiobook? or listen to audiobook and read it afterwards?
Thanks
Inma
IF YOU WANT TO TRAIN YOUR EAR YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO IT FIRST. YOU CAN CHOOSE A CHAPTER OR 3-4 PAGES, LISTEN TO IT AS MANY TIMES AS YOU NEED AND FINALLY READ IT AND ANALISE WHAT YOU MISSED. WE´LL TALK ABOUT IT IN CLASS, ANYWAY!
