Last day of school

Well, it's time to say goodbye for now! I hope that this year was interesting for you and that you learned some new things about the English language. I would recommend that you keep learning English not just over the summer holidays, but throughout your life. You can do this by reading books, watching movies, playing video games or any other type of media that you enjoy. English is a great tool that you can use wherever you go so don't forget!

Since it's the last day of you class you wont have any homework.

Have a great summer! See you soon!

Muchas gracias a todos y feliz cuarentena :)
