IN GENERAL :
_ Most English teachers have English book(let)s. Ask your teacher whether you can read one. This is a good idea if you're not good at writing and / or vocabulary. You will learn a lot of new words and expressions, simply by reading a story.
_ Watch programmes on BBC, MTV, CNN etc. Do you have Teletext ? Excellent ! Then you can get subtitles for the most important programmes. Just open the Teletext menu and look for "Subtitles".
_ Get in touch with a penpal (= somebody you can write a letter to). Of course we're not talking about a Chinese penpal (duh !), but for instance a Welshman, an Australian, an American, etc. You can find websites by feeding the word "penpal" or "pen pal" to a searchengine like google or dogpile.
_ Visit Britain. In a few months Ryanair will have daily flights from Ostend to London. And they will be very
cheap.
FOR THE THIRD FORM :
_ If you have problems pronouncing words (= if you don't know how to read them out loud), you can buy a the pronunciation booklet that belongs to "New Headwy Pre-Intermediate".
_ If you want to do extra exercises in an interactive way (with some help and feedback), you can buy the "New Headway Pre-Intermediate CD-Rom". Tell your teacher first. Maybe we can get a better price than you. (English teachers are very popular :-)
The only shop that sells these items in Ghent is Audivox. You can find it in Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat.
Unfortunately, these items are not available for "New Headway Intermediate" (used by fourth formers).
_ Solve the extra exercises in the "Revision" section at the back of your Workbook when you prepare a test.
