Welcome to HAVE FUN WITH ENGLISH

I would like to welcome all students at the EOI Pontevedra to a blog where they will find a lot of information about the school together with a wide range of activities to practise and improve their English. I´m sure most of them will find the activities in the blog both amusing and enjoyable! Hope you learn a lot... and please, let me know if there is anything you want me to include!!

ITIP OF OCTOBER


Hi everyone!!

as you all know, every month I´ll be posting tips for you to improve your English using new technologies. They are an excellent way to provide students with new ways to learn and to control their own learning process.
This month it is time for Ororo.tv.... which offers you the opportunity to watch series and films in English for free. 
What makes Ororo.tv really different from other similar websites is that it allows you to control the speed of any clip you are watching just by clicking on the right button, as you can see on the image below. You don´t need to register and subtitles are always in English so it is one of the best sites you´ll ever find to learn English having fun.
