This blog is all about Great Britain and is intended for students wishing to improve their knowledge of Great Britain. I hope to include photos, videos, anecdotes, and news as well as exercises to help students improve in areas where they have problems. It is also intended to be useful for teachers of English, with links to sites with information about British culture as well as exercises which can be used in class.
