HAPPY NEW SCHOOL YEAR!

My dear students!

I hope you are fine and ready to study again.

I wish you all the best and inform you about our studies.

Groups П9 and П10 (translators)! Look left. Can you see the book? It is called "Premium B1". You can take it from the library. (The sooner the better!) There is a list of your names in the library. (The second floor of the library. It is the same place where you took your English coursebook last year.)

So,

1. Go to the library (second floor, right).

2. Say you need the book "Premium B1".

3. Say your surname and your group (П9 or П10 and your usual student group).

4. If there are any problems, call me.

We'll start our studies next week, since the 7.09.09. Call me.

Good luck,

I.I.
