       Задания для Вашего урока будут размещены здесь,  перед каждым запланированным занятием. Когда мы находимся в прямом эфире на Skype, эта страница Онлайн урока должна быть открыта.
Вот некоторые вопросы, которые я хотела бы задатьВам:
Как долго Вы изучали английский язык?
Вы когда-нибудь учились он-лайн?
Вы хотите заниматься на постоянной основе?
Насколько важна грамматика для Вас?
Вам нужна больше практика говорения или письма?
