But it is important to remember that yourteacher will only have the opportunity to help and correct you when you speak. So, next time you want you to say something in class, relax and give it a try!

Tip:Taking notes is important and very helpful. But we sometimes spend a lot of time on copying all texts and sentences we see in class, and probably we wo nt have time to readeverything later. So, try to strike a balance and just copy what you consider relevant for you. I t will help you focus on other aspects of the lesson, such as pronunciation practice.

Tip:Watching films is a great way of studying the language. But in case you dont have time to do it, watch a TV series instead. TV series are usually shorter - they last about 50 minutes.Another advantage is that you can easily get addicted to this sort of programme, so you will be in contact with English for fun.

On e-Campusthere is an area called Word lists, where you can do it virtually. You can gradually remove words from your lists when you feel you have internalised them.

Hi Anna,

Im very glad that you are coming to my country. In Spain, we usually have three meals a day, but we

like to have a snack in the afternoon. Lunch is the main meal of the day. But I must confess that we

eat quite a lot at breakfast and dinner too. At home we tend to have our last meal before 8 pm. We

all get up early, so at 11 pm my family and I are normally in bed.

Our coastal area is very extensive so weve got l ots of seafood dishes. I love eating octopus, mussels

and fish, especially tuna. On special occasions, my mother usually cooks paella, our national dish. Im

really crazy about her food, but Im trying to eat less these days because Im on a diet.

Our typical beverage is wine. You really need to try our wines. My favourite ones are from Rioja, a

province in the north of Spain. My father absolutely loves this type of wine too. But on hot days I

prefer drinking beer. Do you like beer? What do you and your family normally eat and drink?

I hope you enjoy our food!

Best wishes,

Pablo

TEXT MODEL*

Last summer I went to a concert given by Vasco Rossi. He is one of Italys most famous rock

stars and one of the best live artists in the world. He is also a good songwriter, and he writes

great rock songs and also very nice love songs. He has many fans in Italy, and every summer he

gives four or five concerts in big Italian stadiums. Thousands of people go to listen to him

there.

The concert took place in Romes Olympic stadium, and there were very many people there, so

all the tickets were sold out. I arrived at the stadium at three oclock in the afternoon, and I

had to queue for six hours. I was very excited to see Vasco Rossi. The concert started at 9

oclock in the evening, and it went on for a very long time, maybe three or four hours. When

Vasco Rossi started the concert everybody shouted, and in the middle of the concert the crowd

sang with him, it was very nice.

When the concert finished, there were many security guards. Everybody went home very

quickly but without problems. I was very tired, so I also went home straightaway. I was happy

because of the excellent concert.
