Gapfillers Saturday Club
Have you heard about this group? It is a small group of Gapfillers members who meet on Skype on a Saturday afternoon to practise their English speaking.
Recently we have been discussing our respective cities. A couple of weeks ago we heard about the last king of Vietnam from Hoang and then last week Galina described her home city in Bulgaria and Kailan his city in Ghana. They described the place, the main industries, the employment situation and their daily lives in their respective home towns.
