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 face-to-face English classes. I am taking an online English course as part of my Higher Vocational Training program. This is my first time studying English, so it is quite challenging for me, but I am doing my best to learn!

Unfortunately, I am not taking an English course. However, I try to practice every day using the resources provided by the British Council, that I would like to thank.

Yes, I was taking English classes two months ago, but I forgot to enroll last month. This month, I'm enrolled in an online English course at the Centro de Idiomas of San Marcos, so I'll be taking classes again.

I studied English three years ago. I used to attend classes twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays. It took two months to complete each level. I completed only eight out of the twelve levels. It was a great experience for me, and the language school was called ULC Constantine.
