Let me introduce you a new blog where you can practice reading and listening comprehension activities through real tweets.
 The blog is still under construction and it's the last idea I 've had to help my students to improve their English.
You can find activities to be used as ice breakers or simply to get some information about the world of football, moto GP, formula 1 and all kind of interesting news for teenagers.
Weekly renovated with the latest news of sport, science, or amazing events.
It will be linked with a Facebook page with the answers to the questions in a near future.
