We are in the final stretch of our last academic year before university, so it is crucial to give and do our best. I have started unit 6, which is focussed on job´s topic. In the first lesson we practised with some useful vocabulary about work. Everyone agreed that it was going to be extremely helpful for our future. Later, we looked into a text that talked about how people live thanks to scrapping-metal companies. It is unbelievable the profit that could be made by just recycling junk. Finally, we started working on the relative clauses, which are not diffcult for me.
