Transcript

Hello, everyone. Hello! It's nice to see you all here. Welcome to British Life and Language. I am your teacher. My name is Lindsay Black. That's L-I-N-D-S-A-Y Black. Before we begin, some information about the class.

Our class is in room 13, on the first floor. When you go upstairs, turn left to find the room. Again, that's room 13.

We have class twice a week, on Monday and Wednesday. Our class begins at 4.30 p.m. and lasts 90 minutes, so we finish at 6 p.m. That's 4.30 to 6. Please arrive on time, OK?

Also, I have an office hour if you have questions. I'm in office 7B on the second floor. My office hour is Friday at 6 p.m. So, if you have any questions or problems or want to talk to me, it's Friday at 6 p.m. in office 7B.

We begin next week, on March the 13th. That's Monday, March the 13th. The course ends on May the 20th. May the 20th is the last day.

I think that's all ... Oh, one more thing. For this course you need the book. Here it is: British Life and Language Level 1 Student's Book. So, please get a copy of the book. I don't want to see any photocopies of the book, thank you! Remember, it's level 1 student's book. Don't buy the teacher's book.

I think that's all, everyone. I look forward to working with you. See you next Monday!

I don't have English lessons at the moment but I have attended several English courses in the past.

I have an English classes every day online on British council and bbc learning English.

I have class but online.

I think that English classes; English courses, became a traditional custome especially with spreading of the internet that it became in every home. So i think that everyone can improve his/ her English language or any language by studying with him/ herself as all materials became available at the internet and conersation clubs as well

I scheduled interesting sessions during the summer holidays, making my office my favorite place to improve my English skills.

Good job I appreciate your help 💯

I have English class on Monday and Wednesday in the room 13.

I have English classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. online.

The last time I participated in an English class was at my university. The course was conducted by CECD in collaboration with my university. I achieved a score of 3.75 out of 4, which boosted my confidence and surprised me at the same time. During that period, I practiced English a lot, but over time, I became inconsistent and couldn't maintain my progress. Now, I have decided to start again from the basics and focus on improving my communication skills. I believe that English proficiency is highly valuable in any culture, as it helps in understanding people from different countries more easily.

Yes, actually I have an orientation at Bahrain University, so I have three English Classes. On Monday and Wednesday, I've Writing Class from 8 a.m. to 8:50 a.m. On Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday I've Reading Class from 8 O'clock a.m. to 8:50 and Listening Class From 9 O'clock to 9:50 a.m.
