4. These are some tips for your learning
What do you think?
In class speak
English as much as possible.
The more you try the more you learn!
If you want to expand your vocabulary,
organise it!
If you want to make
progress,
reflect on your mistakes.
When reading, try to
understand the general idea.
When listening to English,
Rely on what you understand.
It isn't always necessary to
understand every single word.
Don't worry too much about
What you don't understand. Be
patient and don't give up!
But, please, tell me when you
have a doubt or you don't
understand. I'm here to help
and support you. It's my job.
Wish you
a pleasant school year!
Step by step, you will
understand more.

Hello, everybody! I’m Marina.
I’m optimistic but maybe too impulsive.
I like travelling, I'm fond of reading, I'm interested in
listening to music and I'm quite good at swimming but
unfortunately I'm hopeless at playing tennis. One of
the best places I visited in the past was Cuba.
In the future I‘d like to visit Canada because I’ve got
a friend there.
