 Today we just had another class with professor Fotini. We practiced reading again and also timed our reading process. After that we answered some questions about the text. It was so interesting because in each class we can practice more and more and learn different words in English. We also had the last lesson activity checked. Everyone could contribute by sharing their answers.
