Again, still another techno-tool to help you with your studies. This blog is "work-in-progress" , which means that things are added and removed on a regular basis. Here you'll find extra-reading, extra-listening, extra-grammar stuff, extra writing tips... extra-everything, so it's up to you what you do with it. Needless to say, your feedback, ideas, and comments are very welcome.

*This blog is 'apture-powered', which means that if you highlight a word, a 'learn more' sign will theoretically appear. Click on it and it will show a list of internet links related to that word. Just try.

Exam time

Exam time is always stressful (both for students and for teachers, I should say) but fortunately there are remedies/techniques to help you cope with exam stress:

- Chocolate addiction: Watch the video, read the story.

- Relaxation techniques based on hypnosis: Three samples that can work wonders. Close your eyes, breathe slowly and deeply, turn up the volume and let your subconscious mind do the rest.
Overcome exam nerves Sample 1
Overcome exam nerves Sample 2
Develop your self-confidence Sample


- Humour: Monty Python's "Job Interview" sketch (it's a job interview, but it might as well be an oral exam!). With subtitles in Portuguese so that you can practice two languages at the same time.

And finally, Bob Marley's legendary "Three little birds".


So whichever sytem you choose, just relax, keep the right dose of adrenaline ready for action, and " don't worry about a thing/'cos every little thing's gonna be all right! "
