After getting to know each other, it's time for us to describe ourselves, don't you think? 


Well, first of all we need some adjectives for describing people.  Human beings are different and that's what makes us so interesting and appealing to talk about.

Every single country and culture with its own features and qualities.  Let's point out our best strengths as individuals living in the same world! Any ideas to start with?
 

 When we are describing people, adventures, things or facts, it's common for us to add some information and link sentences together, with what we normally call: Relatives or Relative Pronouns. Or even you need to talk about your next trip. For that, it's necessary to do some practice on Future tenses. Below, you'll find all the theory and practice to manage
