This post is for my 2nd Year of Bachillerato students. As we agreed, I'll give you a copy each week to revise and/or improve your vocabulary. As we are working on the topic 'Work', this first copy is based on jobs. There are five activities, so maybe you'll have extra work for two weeks. Let me know if it's too much. This is the link to download the folder with the activities: http://www.crocko.com/045EC9AD76284F819E1AD5623BBBEF77/Vocabulary_practice_-_Jobs.zip
