07/11/2025 ANNOUNCEMENTS

1. Missed classes
If you’ve missed a class, here’s the updated booking form with available slots.
Just a quick reminder: even if your missed slot was 45 minutes, you’ll only see 30-minute options on the form — but you’ll still get your full 45 minutes. The form is just structured this way for easier scheduling.

2. Quizlet test
After our first round of Quizlet test, and I have to say — well done to everyone who’s been so systematic with their sets. A few tips to keep it tidy:
– When definitions are too similar, add the first letter as a hint.
– If it’s an idiom or phrase, mark it clearly or mention 2/3 words
– If some words feel irrelevant or overwhelming right now, you may remove up to 10% from your revision set only. (100 words → 10 deletions max.)

3. Bits & Bobs
This week’s Bits & Bobs mix language, reflection, and something sweet:
– On my ❤️English blog, you’ll find a new post in the Pragmatic Communication series — this one explores anger: what happens to us linguistically when emotions hijack reason, and how words can help us take back control.
– On my Rosemary & Lavender blog, I’ve shared a tomato cake recipe — with both a longer, storytelling version and a shorter one for quick reading. Perfect for a cozy autumn weekend.
– Abby is back in her Learn English with Abby series, teaching a brand new word — available on both Instagram and YouTube.
