You only need to register to use the site. Enjoy!!
Last Academic Year I posted the ‘Real English’ lesson on conditionals . If you want to watch the videoclip and do the exercises again, type ‘conditionals’ into the search engine in order to find them.
I’m posting a ppt on conditionals, thanks to an English teacher who has kindly shared his presentation. Thank you very much.
You will also find a clear summary of conditional forms on English Page.
I hope you enjoy the sites and find everything useful.
‘An Inconvenient Truth’ is the name of a movie by former U.S. vice president Al Gore. The movie is a presentation about climate change and its effects. The purpose of the movie is to inform the people of the world, and especially the U.S., that global warming is real and caused by humans. It also shows how we can change global warming. Watch the movie trailer with English subtitles and give your opinion about the following questions :

Interesting Stories is a collection of interactive stories that focus on the intersection of human health and the environment.
These stories are based on real-life problems that involve the effect of our environment on our health.
Throughout the story, you will encounter information that explores the science behind the key health questions in the story. Analyze this information and then use it to answer the open-ended question that completes each story.
Vocabulary, articles, news, games and information relating to the environment
I promised I would post new activities during this week while you are taking the oral exam.
Since we are going to talk about the weather, I am posting a listening comprehension task on this topic.

Hi everybody,
If you want to practise your grammar and pronunciation skills, I strongly recommend you visit Jennifer’s site and watch any of the lessons displayed. Lessons 7-16 are devoted to Reported Speech, so you can revise what we have learnt in class. I hope you find it useful.
