HERE YOU HAVE SOME VIDEOS THAT YOUR DEAR TEACHER BRUCE HAS PREPARED FOR YOU, ENJOY THEM:
Dear students,
I hope you are all well and still smiling despite the quarantine. It is really important to stay busy
and find new things to do each day, but make sure you also take time to rest and relax. Hakuna
matata!
But that’s enough dilly-dally [wasting time]! I’ve prepared a number of videos for you to
watch and enjoy in your own time, and hopefully inspire you to continue practising your English
as much as possible over the coming weeks. This time, I thought it might be fun if we focussed on
an unusual topic, but a topic that I love very much - poetry! These poems are a little bit different
from your average literature, so I hope you enjoy them!
