More useful resources from UsingEnglish.com

I'm back from holiday.  Had a great time in Madeira.  Great weather, food, experiences.  Loved the decorations in the streets and around the churches for August 15th.

I won't be working flat out yet, but I will try and write a couple of articles per week.

I've written before about Using English.com and the resources they have.  I have about 50 pdf documents that I've saved in a file on my computer.

Recently, I've had 2 emails telling me about articles with tips for approaching Parts 1 and 2 of the Cambridge English: First speaking test.  I especially liked the suggestions for useful language and approaches for Part 2.

Part 1

Part 2

With many students taking the Cambridge English: First exam earlier this year (I know lots of candidates for October 2013), no doubt many of you are already priming them for the different parts of the exam. The two articles on UsingEnglish.com will be very useful for focusing on the Speaking Test.
