2. Besides, you will also:
- READ the press regularly (two or three times a week would be a good start) and practise summarizing the articles you read. The Guardian is freely accessible, and The New York Times offers a few free articles a month, for example (you can even start writing down your summaries in a small notebook that you will reuse throughout the year)
- LISTEN to the news as often as you can and to podcasts/videos you may be interested in (The Daily, TED Talks, etc.)
- REVISE your grammar and review tenses, irregular verbs, grammar points that still bug you...
- WATCH movies, series, etc. (in English obviously)
Have a nice holiday and see you in September
