ESL BLUE is a very useful website for English learners. It offers lessons for learners from pre-intermediate to high-intermediate level English. It calls these levels 1,2,3, meaning pre-intermediate, intermediate and high intermediate respectively.
There are quizzes and activities about adjectives, adverbs, articles, grammar, tenses, reading, verbs and vocabulary. It gives hints when a user makes a mistake about an answer. In my opinion, this is a very useful feature.
One thing I dislike about the site is the design. It could be done more professionally, and in this way, it would be more attractive for users.

Intermediates and Uppers, we shall be using this in class, so if you want to get a head start: print it off and have a look at some of the vocabulary. What kind of text does it remind you of? What kind of person do you think that the author is?
There is a lot of material on the internet that you can use to help you with your English. There are a good number of links in the link section in the sidebar.
In addition to these links, EF will be sending you a password which you can use to access the English First materials. You will recieve your password in your email, so be careful that you don’t delete it thinking that it is spam.
This extra work is only for extra practice and is not intended to have any connection with your course books.
