I would like to ask you something:
Please use some of the free time you will have in summer to read books. They don't need to be very ambitious, heavy stuff, just something you will find enjoyable. I should encourage you to choose something in English, and I do, of course, but I would rather you read something in Polish/French/Spanish/Italian than nothing at all. Some of you may be surprised that I feel the need to do it at all, but believe me, when I ask students after holidays what they have read, many are genuinely surprised: "It's holidays, time to relax, so we don't want to read anything!" And yet, I'm sure each of you could find books which will give you a lot of satisfaction and pleasure. As far as English goes, I would recommend any of Joanne Harris's books (author of the delicious Chocolat and its two sequels) or, if you feel like something a little more action-oriented, John Grisham will work perfectly. If, on the other hand, you prefer something a bit more grown-up, try Alice Munro. Her stories are a real treat!
So, have a wonderful summer and come back well-rested and refreshed, with heads full of ideas inspired by travel, enjoyment and... good books!
