Students' Profile

Antonella and Caterina work in the admin department. They both are accountants. They mostly deal with payroll, which means they calculate salaries for the employees and the workers. Their job also involves sending invoices to people who buy goods or services from the company, and paying invoices from suppliers.

Le buone intenzioni

Le buone intenzioni non bastano.... occorre tempo, dedizione e tanta collaborazione per tenere vivo un blog...

Dovrei forse arrendermi?? :-(

o prendere coscienza invece del fatto che it's summer and.... who cares about studying English...all we feel like doing is laying on a nice beach .... sampling cocktails and enjoying the sunshine!!

Until next time

....bye .... bye....

Google groups

Sto sperimentando un altro strumento didattico: quello di google Groups.

Penso di aver creato una mailing list del gruppo.
Abbiamo un Indirizzo gruppo
Indirizzo web corrente:http://groups.google.com/group/gruppo-main
as well as un indirizzo email corrente:gruppo-main@googlegroups.com

A questo gruppo può iscriversi chiunque lavori alla MAIN

Ora dobbiamo imparare a utilizzare i servizi offerti contribuendo con assiduità se vogliamo assicurarci il successo dello speaking in English.

Good news from Main

What a group!



I have never taught a group like yours with so many good news in one year only!



Pietro was the first to "tie the knot"..He got married in December, then was Antonella's turn who got married in March (opss.. not so sure..I hope I am not wrong!).

Last week we had another big "event". Davide became a father! His wife gave birth to a baby boy.

Last but not least ... Caterine announced that she is expecting a baby!!

Isn't all that great!!

Congratulations to all of you and thank you for sharing these good news with us.
