Reading




Web page full of stories -some with comprehension exercises, some others not- to enjoy the pleasure of reading. If you are one of those students who think reading is not an enjoyable activity, up to you, but remember the Reading Comprehension in the Selectividad exam if you can´t find a better reason.
And, in case you are a good reader...

I´ll surely find some more for you, but it will be some other day









Writing


Surely the part most of you love best. This is a good and complete link about the writing process...
Getting through the different chapters is a long process, but don´t give up. The more often you visit this link the better writer you will become.
This is another link with several power point presentations on different writing aspects. Have a look at it and see if you can get any ideas!

Gerund? Infinitive? That is the question...


Are you among those who still don´t know whether to use a gerund or an infinitive after a certain verb? These two links will give you any detail you can think of about the topic
If you already master all the lists of verbs followed by a gerund or an infinitive, you may be interested in some practice. Surf following links, there´s plenty of exercises to do.
Perhaps you´ve done every previous thing, but still have a doubt with a particular verb. This link will work it out....
And if you are still in the mood of working a little bit more... a tutorial on gerund and infinitive
