Christmas is coming!!

December is almost here and we are planning to make several activities to celebrate this special time of the year.

When reading in my mother tongue, I basically read novels, comics, articles from blogs or news… Reading in English is a totally different story. Normally I choose articles related to my background knowledge as well as those which match my level of language proficiency. In addition to that, I must be completely 100% focus on the task, otherwise, I lose track. Sometimes in the past, trying to go over a historic novel it became a frustrating activity due to my lack of specific knowledge of vocabulary. As a result, I gave up reading it and now I have decorating my shelves a ve...
