HOLIDAY TIME!

In our country, Chile, holiday time has begun for all schools and universities. Almost two months of fun and relaxation! Classes will begin again in March. In the meantime, you might find that you'd like to keep up with your English, because you're missing school (!!!) or because you really don't want to forget things you've learned so far. So, thinking of your well-being and in your best interests, I'm including a few links to activities and games to keep your intelligence and interest going.

GOOGLE EARTH FLIGHT SIMULATOR

 

 

Have a look at this application in the latest Google Earth version. It’s really great, but  I would never have thought that controlling a plane was so complicated, even in simulation! After you have opened up Google Earth, click on TOOLS or HERRAMIENTAS, then select your plane. SR22 is recommended for beginners, as it is easier to handle, choose your airport from a menu, and finally click on your START THE FLIGHT button. To learn about the controls you need, click on HELP, and you’ll find detailed explanations. Remember, just like learning English, this takes PRACTICE, and believe me, lots of it. I’ve already crash-landed several times!
