"April brings the primrose sweet, Not so Spring like this year as the picture opposite shows (taken on April 6th in a London park) |
Spring has not quite sprung this year! We, however, do have a bit of a spring in our step and have been doing a spot of spring cleaning on the site. You will see some changes - which we hope you like. All designed to make things easier to find and use!
Welcome to new members
We have new 'faces' this month on Gapfillers.
Member Home
We also have a 'new look' member home where you can contact other network members as well as join in member activities. This area is being populated with new and more things to do so 'watch this space'.
Why not add a little picture/symbol to your profile (or avatar) as your unique identification - it doesn't have to be a photo!
Saying of the Week
This new feature has just launched. Find a new English saying (all of them in everyday use) every week, plus more archived! You can comment and share your own favourites.
People in Conversation - archive
An archive of these conversations is now available. These are provided by The Listening Business one of the foremost experts in developing listening skills using authentic materials.
Grammar Bank
We have been collecting more of our material together and created a bigger and better organised bank for you to use. There are several grammar categories and we will add to these every week from our grammar of the day lists. Let us know if there are grammar areas we should add. We will also be 'beefing up' (look out for phrasal verb week soon!!) the reading and listening banks too.
Daily News Bulletin
Over the past weeks we have built a large archive of these and have now expanded the number available on the site. This is a very valuable source of listening practice. Each bulletin is around 1.5 minutes with a short 10 item exercise. You can have an alert when the bulletin arrives on the site. If you want this then activate the alert in your member home.
Finally
Do make comments on the pages that include this. Post a message on the message board or simply email us and let us know your ideas and suggestions
