Dear students good morning
These days that we all work at home, feel free to work whenever you want with the activities in this blog along with the "it's up to you" section in your books. You could also watch the videos you prefer (e.g. Extra English) or any other videos in english to practice your listening skills with your parents' approval.
Have fun.
