Language snippets November 2009

November the 5th was ‘Bonfire Night’ and the skies were filled with fireworks. The celebration of Guy Fawkes‘ plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament is always a huge one in the UK. One of the favourite foods to eat at this time is warming, gingery parkin. Check out the recipe and have a go- it’s delicious!

Here at Gapfillers, we reached a milestone in November as the 5000th page of English Language study was published on the site. In the 3 years since the site began we have provided a comprehensive mix of articles, stories, tests and quizzes to keep your language standards in tip top condition. Here’s to the next 5000 pages!

This month in the Foyer, we have the theme of Marketing & Technonlogy.

We have articles on email and experiential marketing in the reading section, with iphones, 3D media and mobile tv in the news section.

The grammar section features work on ‘raise and rise’, ‘steal and rob’ and ‘on my own’ to name but 3!

The listening section this month features ‘People in conversation’. Listen to Ferhat who came to London from Turkey as a young boy and has settled there. Listen as Ferhat talks about his family.
