The Press in English

Hi everyone,

I told you this week that you have the opportunity to read the press in English. I found the link to the English Issue of El Pais. If you like other newspapers, maybe there is also an online version in English.And I think both students from Intermediate One and Intermediate Two will benefit extraordinarily if you start reading the press in English on a regular basis.

Here is the version I found:

Happy Weekend!!!
