Introduction


Hey Everybody!



Holiday time is a great time to rest!  But it is also a time when you can study with less structure and pursue interests outside of your normal curriculum.


Holiday time is also a time when many students feel like they lose everything they gained over the previous semester.  When you return after the holiday, do you want to feel like you are starting all over?


Here I want to give you a few resources that you can enjoy over the holidays.  If you spend 1-2 hours a day doing something related to English, you will make steady improvements in your ability and understanding over the holiday.  Even 20-30 minutes a day would help a lot, it will keep you from sliding from rest, into laziness.  Instead of going back tongue-tied, you can return to university in the Spring ready to go!


So here are some resources to get you started...


Enjoy!
