Summer tips no.1 - Summer reading


This week I'm going to be posting about some resources you can use to continue practising English over the summer. The first of these is a List of Online Archives for Free Unabridged Books Online posted at Diploma Guide

Now there is no excuse for not having something to read in English this summer...

About cataspanglish

cataspanglish is intended to be a resource for both students and profes of English as a second/foreign language. For the last few years I have been giving my students material from the internet - news stories, articles, transcripts, film and audio clips, and a long etc.

Doing this for each individual is pretty time consuming so I decided it would be more efficient to make this material available on the internet itself and let anyone who is interested use it.

The news items will be updated more or less daily but there are feeds from the BBC and The Guardian which can be accessed at anytime.

I hope this page proves to be useful.

Cheers,
Chris
