I discovered lessons on this web site since a long time, but i remark that same lessons are still in. so is it possible to update from time to time and add more articles in business e.g (negociating, resolving problems via phone calls, marketing...). but in general, audio activities are very helpful for students and learners. thanks a bunch.

I LOVED the audio but the only problem was with the activity on paper that comes with the script it was too easy. So i have a request that next time please this activity should be Question/Answer i mean like we have in our IGCSE English as a Second Language(Extended) Listening paper. Plzzzzzzzzz i will be grateful. Thanks.
