Happy Easter Holidays! Just two proposals to do during this time ... 1.- You know that this confinement period is being a little "hideous" but necessary, specially for elderly people and children. Then, we suggest you write a letter to an elderly person that you love. We think it is something that will give this person a lot of joy and encouragement. You can decorate it too and they will love it.  You all know that Grace´s family is in the U.K and Ireland. She has written a wonderful letter to her grandpa. Please use it as an example. Grace has also prepared a letter model for you. ( Use simple time sequences and keep the letter format. Both are very important when writing letters in English. Click here to see both letter models ) 2.- Continue practicing English (reading, listening to music, playing different games, watching videos/movies/cartoons ...). We have activated these Kahoot challenges again (some people couldn't play and they are really fun):
