Good afternoon LINC 7,

Hooray! We've made it to the end of the year! Thanks for all of your hard work and enthusiasm this term.  I wish you all all the best in your next steps.  

Over the summer, what you are you going to do to keep your English growing?  Remember English is like a muscle.  If you don't use it, it'll get flabby. ;)

Here are some links organized by skill to help you keep improving your English over the summer:
