A Puzzle from the BBC

For Thanksgiving Day, two school teachers Camille and Nicole are preparing a party to celebrate. They spend one fifth of the time baking snacks. They spend one third of the time making drinks. They spend the remaining time of 70 minutes tidying their flat. How long in total did Camille and Nicole spend preparing?

Answer: Ask me in class - or even better, tell me.

9 o´clock Class, Wednesday November 14th.

As there were so few people for today's 09.00 class, we decided to put it off to Monday November 19th, so next week we will have two classes, one on Monday and one on Wednesday, as usual.

There is a document for you to download on Consigna called When it comes to learning a foreign language...
