MY OVERALL VIEW

Dear likely reader(s),

I would like to drop a line as a summary of the year we have just finished. 

We all have become aware of the fact that acquiring the C1 level in English turns out to be a demanding but, at the same time, worthwhile experience, which my twelve classmates and I are hopefully able to attain either this month or in September.

For English teachers registering in the C1 course is, to my view, conditio sine qua non. I must raise the merit of those mates who do not teach English for they have overcome difficulties with hard work and enthusiasm. We have been exposed to a number of strategies, displayed by our teacher, who has meant to develop our communicative competence. The range of activities and approaches to the language will definitely be useful for our lessons.

We have mastered both oral and written skills for a variety of purposes. A quotation I have learned and will always recall is one by Confucius, "The educated man is able to see a problem from another point of view." That day Emilio made me go beyond knowledge to move on to the integral growth of the person, that third scope of the subject matter, represented by that circle drawn on the introduction day, that remote 19th September, 2013.

As a final remark, which I probably should not include but I will write though, I would like to express the fact that the exam has not been prepared by the teacher may have been quite unfair for both Emilio and the students.

I look forward to your reading this post and the drink after the oral exam.

I hope to see you all next Wednesday.
