Some recommendations Reading takes time and hard work You must look up the words you don t know and prepare  summaries of the chapters of books. This will ease out your work for the final exam.
Whenever possible , we will watch parts of the movies of these best sellers  in our monthly video classes  lasting 1 hour or 1.30 hs . Unless otherwise stated, VIDEO CLASSES  are held on one Friday of each month from 6.30 to 8 pm
