What are your English practice plans this summer?

So....this week is the week when most people go on holidays. When we think of holidays, we don't think about work; the most that we want to do is, well, nothing.

When did you English classes end? How much have you planned to practice your English over the summer?

If you think that practice isn't important, I'd like to ask you to reflect on a post that I wrote last year. You are the only person who can control how much you learn. You attitude is everything!

So how have you planned to review and practice your English over the summer? How are you guarantee that you don't go back over the summer? Please feel free to leave your ideas in the Comments section below....

TEACHERS!!! Would you like to spend a year working in the States or Canada?

Thanks to Quique Rodríguez over at Expansion.com for this link - apparently the Ministry of Culture, Education and Sport is offering the chance for 236 teachers from Spain to travel to the US and Canada for a year to work as teachers.

I know nothing about this beyond what is on the website, but I'll get in touch with some ex-students I have at the Ministry and see if anybody knows anything.

If you are convinced you'll never learn English....

....because you haven't done so well so far, think of this:

PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RETURNS.

That's what you see at the bottom of any information on investments, and it's true.

Let me put it another way:

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO GRAB OPPORTUNITIES IN  THE FUTURE IF YOUR HANDS ARE FULL OF GARBAGE FROM THE PAST.

Maybe you didn't get what you wanted in the past. That doesn't guarantee that you're never going to get what you want in the future.

What can you change in 2013 to make your English better than ever?
