Summer programme
GOAL · B2 READYThrough the summer, Tim.
13 weeks to consolidate the year. One long piece per week.
From 1 June to 30 August: one school-year theme per week, one long anchor text (300+ words), plus sprints, speaking and phrases around it. Not daily — three to four sessions a week is enough. Goal across the 13 weeks: take B1+ writing all the way to confidently B2-ready.
