This course is coming to an end and exams at language schools are so near that you can smell them, he he. Anyway, now that I'm preparing my students to pass their oncoming exams, I thought it would be a good idea to share with you some of the material I'll be using with my students next week, so that you can also improve your English.
Language school teachers struggle hard to make our students use synonyms and different expressions according to their English level. This is why I prepare a list of synonyms (or similar expressions) to 'yes', and 'no' and the adjectives 'good' and 'bad' because I'm sick tired of hearing all these words over and over again.
