Hi Cristina,
I am a teacher at the school of languages in Murcia and I was trying to use the following resource: https://www.cristinacabal.com/pre-intermediate/doctorandpatient.htm
I could not find the video. Is it something I’m doing wrong?
Kindest Regards,
Enrique Carrillo
Thanks for letting me know. It is working now+ I have added a new link about crimes.
Hello Cristina,
The link to some units does not work or there is no material linked to it, this is the case of Crime and Punishment. Could you fix the problema, please?
Great Job. I love your out of the ordinary lessons.
Keep going, please,
Rosario
