Welcome to 2nd Intermediate!! In this blog for the students of the 2nd Intermediate level of EOI Gandia you’ll find all kinds of resources to fall back on. There are listenings, video, grammar, funny things, etc.
We hope you enjoy it!!
Remember you can have access to loads of pages with listenings in the RESOURCES section. A good example is the British Council’s web, BBC RADIO5, New York Times, Randall’s ESL Lab , or CNN.
You can also check this link with the listening and the script. There is a useful facility: you can listen to it at the usual speed or more slowly, also with the latest news (Japan’s nuclear stations)
We will probably have the final exams by the 18th / 19th May. The following week (23rd-26th May) will be devoted to oral exams. You can practise with last year’s tests (2nd advanced: IN_NA- IN_EO, i.e., English advanced level, expressió oral). We’ll be having a monologue and a dialogue based on the topics dealt with in class.
An interesting explanation (in Spanish) with peculiar phonetics (I’m sure most of you will enjoy the transcription rather than the standard ones). The BBC also provides with an interesting explanation including rather than.
The theory is useless without some practice: ejerciciodeingles, tolearnenglish (scroll down a bit to see the 
practice), autoenglish (in pdf), EFL para secundaria, baladre1 and baladre2, and from OUP.
You can also sing the songs we saw in class: El Condor Pasa (‘d rather), Sign Your Name Across My Heart (just one example of ‘d rather but… What a beautiful song!) Santa Claus is coming to town (‘d better)
How would you do it? Learn how to first hand… Watch the interview with the author of the book!
