Corpus de Vocabulario

     Since I'll be taking my IELTS exam in a couple of weeks I swear that I am going to be committed with my review! So from this day forward I'll memorize at least 30 vocabulary words and practice my writing for at least half an hour a day. Here are few sample of words I learned from my vocabulary quiz from this site.

     By blogging my newly (or rather remembered) vocabulary words maybe I can memorize them better than just writing it in my notebook. Anyways, I found a new site for people with writing/grammar problems (like me!) and it is absolutely free! just click here.
