This is my favorite Real English exercise for beginners so far this year:

http://www.real-english.com/reo/8-d/8d-9.htm

simply because it REVIEWS 3 structures already covered quite well in RE  lessons 3, 4, and 6, and,

 

while introducing nothing new for beginners, it  makes the “learned material” a challenge of considerable proportions.

Maira on the left and Roberta on the right.We have interviewed thousands of people since we began Real English in 1992. Sometimes these people contact us after seeing themselves on our site.

This morning we received a message from Maira, who lives in Brazil. We interviewed her and her friend Roberta 4 years ago. You can see her video here on YouTube, or here on the Real English site.

Here is the message she wrote us:

Hi, I’m Maíra, the girl in the video you made on Nantucket.We didn’t know if you were going to use our interview or not, we thought it was a video for some language school in France. We were so surprised to see it here. Anyway, we liked it. And it’s nice to be one of the most viewed videos.Oh, I just loved how you guys described us: Culture Collectors. I had never thought in that way but you are right, its so me!!! I don’t know if you can understand me or if I got to express myself correctly, it just feel good think about myself as a culture collector. Thanks. I’d appreciate if you could send this message to the interviewer and the rest of the group.
They came a long way!
Like I said in the video, let me add something else… we went to Europe, one month backpacking, 10 countries even Marocco. Definitely the best trip we’ve ever had.

I was checking Real English website, its really interesting and helps people to learn about the language. Great job!

Regards,
Maíra
