About Me

My photo
Pasqua
I am a teacher of English in an Italian secondary school. English is just my cup of tea! The purpose of this blog is to motivate my students to improve their knowledge of the language and appreciate culture and literature as well as to help them with their homework and tests ... or at least, I hope so! Needless to say, everybody else within the blogosphere is very welcome!
