Stay In Touch

24 August 2006: Emotion Expressions

Have you looked at our updated website yet? There is a wonderful video which will remind you all of how fantastic life in Chester was and make you wish you were back here with us again! There are some good shots of the school, the river and the city centre all basking in the hot sunshine. Unfortunately the summer has finished now and it is rain, rain every day.

We are still quite busy but not quite as full as we have been and at least it is now possible to buy a cup of coffee in the coffee room without having to queue!

Now that stay in touch only goes out once every fortnight we'll have to make it much harder to make sure that everyone keeps working at their English.

The word this week is luxuriate which is a verb we use to enjoy something especially pleasant or comfortable. The cat was luxuriating in the sun shine.

Best wishes,
