Hi all, sorry for not posting last week - everything was a little hectic with the acreditation visit! This week I would like to change the topic of discussion from music to art. These pieces are from a famous street artist called Banksy. Do you consider them to be art? Or would you call them graffiti? Do you think there is a difference between street art and graffiti? Let us know your thoughts on Banksy's work and what you consider to be worthy of the title "art".

What sort of music do you like?

Here is a newish Scottish musician, Paolo Nutini, that I have been listening to recently. What do you think? What is the song about? Is this your cup of tea? I look forward to hearing your thoughts :)

Welcome Back!!!

Dear students,

I would like to welcome you all back to the university :) I hope you have all enjoyed your well-deserved break and are ready to start studying again. This semester I have been given the task of providing posts for the blog each week for students to comment on. The idea is that students can use the blog as an informal space where they can put their English into practice.

I invite you all to participate!

I look forward to seeing you in the classes,

Simon.
