Exams: getting ready?

A lot of my students and former students are getting ready to sit for different kinds of English exams. They are mainly studying for end-of-the course examinations but others are preparations either FCE exams or EOI (Official School of Languages) 3rd and 5th certificate exams.

These are days of studying, reflecting and revising mixed with a feeling of nervousness and eagerness to get this exam period over with. These are days when a lot of doubts arise. So trying to help some former students a came across a nice website:

http://www.englishpractice.com/

Something that I found particularly helpful is that they offer the possibility of downloading a pdf report called "Perfect Your Sentences: 120 Grammar and Vocabulary Mistakes To Avoid".  I think you will find this report clear and useful as it will clarify very common mistakes/doubts/last-minute confusions.

Long time, no "write"

I haven't written here for so long that I feel I bit guilty about it. Well, some of my present and former students are sitting for an important exam soon. I was thinking of how I could help them and luckily, I came across this verb tense table on the internet.

I hope it helps.
