NEW SCHOOL YEAR, NEW BLOG

 Hi everyone. My name is Miriam Yépez Abenza and I'm a teacher at SANGONERA LA VERDE secondary school, the best in the world. 

By this blog, I want to share, together with my students, different tips to improve their English as well as some of the activities that they do in class and at home. English is a fun language to learn and we will show it. 

We want everybody to be part of this learning process. So, if you fancy, have a look at it.
