TRG 01 April

This week I'll have to keep on working on the IELTS. On the test book I'd like to have at least 2 trials on every module. My focus this week 'll be the speaking area (2nd -3rd parts). Unfortyunately I'll have to return it to the library by tuesday. I'll bring my book with me to Italy so that I hope to not forget everything... I'm planning to do at least two more units of that.
The literature book has to be finished.
Revise the Spanish notebook as usual.

TRG Diary 15th March

This week I've got quite a lot of wotk to do.... Primarily I have to move on with the IELTS book of at least two modules (C and D); it's a good load, but needed.

Then I' ll stick in my mind the idea of doing this history essay on the Labour government. It's almost a month that I'm on it, and it's so boring... ridicolous. To do at least part of it.

To finish exercises on the "Espinazo del diablo"in order to bring the film back soon.

I need to finish to correct Jerry's essay and submit it. No worries about it.

Manage to keep uptodate with the Literature work: readind reading reading.
That's all, quite a heavy week but I feel very passionate.

Today I was supposed to spent the majority of my time studying for th ielts exam. I was meant to complete at least a reading and a writing tasks. In addition, if I had time I would dedicate some time to the literature' novel we are reading. I have done them completely as well as few more exercises on the book regarding vocabulary, linking words and so on. I did not have time for the Literature part, however I am glad of what I have achieved. I feel like I have done a few steps forward, today .
