I am new to TES.com resources!
My resources are English language learning audio and video.
This material was written while I was an full-time IELTS examiner and British Council teacher trainer in China. All content is recorded in a professional recording studio so the quality is excellent.
It would be great to have some feedback from you and if possible a nice helpful review so others can also find me.
