WELCOME! :)

This is the beginning of your 12 week FCE course, and I'm looking forward to spending it with you.  Throughout the duration of the course I'll be posting all sorts of things on this site, including texts, exercises, advice on different parts of the exam, useful links, and whatever else I believe will be of benefit to you.  You can make comments on any entry, or talk about it with me in class - whatever you prefer.

But for now, this first day of the course, I just wanted to mention these five important FCE study tips:

1. Familiarise yourself with the structure and timing of the exam.
2. Understand exactly what is being tested in each part of the exam.
3. Read and speak English outside of the classroom as often as you can.
4. Do your homework.
5. Eat well, sleep well, and remember to go out at times and have fun - no point in burning yourself out before you get to the final exam.
