This week women and girls are in the centre of our attention. We talk about them, discuss gender differences, express our opinions. We broaden our horizons, enrich our vocabulary and practise grammar. You can also check your grammar knowledge in practice and paraphrase a couple of sentences. Girls have power and grammar doesn’t frighten them away.

Girl power
Well, it’s a slightly different post because it’s Women’s Day today. Check how well you know some of the famous females and what their opinions are. Try to match the women to the quotations. Some of them may surprise you a little. Have fun and enjoy this beautiful day.
It’s not enough to do your best if you want to make progress. You also need to do some exercises to make a great impression on others. So why don’t you make a small effort now and congratulate yourself on doing a good job a moment later. You know practice makes perfect.
Public houses
Today’s game will move you to the British Public Houses. Can you think of a better place to spend your evening? However, remember that the quiz will be active only till March, 15th so you’d better hurry up.
Money, money, money
It’s not so easy to earn money. However, spending it may be a lot of fun. Wasting money may be a real nuisance. On the other hand, inheriting it is something we all dream about. And what about you? Do you know how to talk about money in English?
US city nicknames
Probably everyone knows that New York is called 'The City that Never Sleeps’. However, do you know that other major cities in the US also have interesting nicknames? And there is often a story hidden behind each one of them.
Do you know which city’s elevation is exactly one mile and hence the place is called 'The Mile High City’? Or do you have any idea in which American city you can find many cream-coloured buildings?
Many cities actually have a couple of nicknames, like Memphis for example. Not only is it known as 'The Home of the Blues’ or 'The Birthplace of Rock’n’Roll’ but it also has a nickname which you can find in our quiz. I hope you will have a lot of fun trying to match the nicknames to the well-known American cities. And doing so, you will find some of the names so intriguing that you’ll make an effort to read more about the cities and why they are called so.
Knowing food vocabulary is very useful not only during exams but also while travelling. There is nothing more exciting than tasting new dishes, spending time in restaurants and cafes and meeting new people. However, do you know enough words to order your favourite dishes, talk about food and enjoy exotic cuisines all over the world?
