It's been good working with you all this semester - so thank you all. Semester one has now finished (and really flew by!), so we're just about half way through the year already! I've posted up some important information over the last few days, so please look through the posts carefully. I have been adding some handouts to my files of teaching materials too and will continue to do so.
Remember to keep your English on top form over the next few months (regular practice with joy and enthusiasm!) so that we necessarily start semester two with even better levels than at the end of semester one. Don't forget that as well as finding time to study, you also need some time to relax - and remember that you can even relax while practising your English because the two ideas are not incompatible - honest!
At one of the final Culture Call sessions of the semester we spoke about cooking and baking, and a couple of highly talented ladies brought in two thoroughly exquisite chocolate cakes (see the photo, above). - Thank you ever so much! They shared their recipes, and here is one of them, so that you can all have a try if you so wish...
INGREDIENTS
75g butter
75g cane sugar
3 egg yellows
3 egg whites, beaten
200g dark chocolate (melted in a bain-marie)
self-raising flour - as necessary
100g walnuts
INSTRUCTIONS
Soften the butter with the sugar. Add the egg yellows, melted chocolate, walnuts and the beaten egg whites. Finally add a little flour at a time until a thick mixture is created. Cook at 150°C.
...it was spectacular! Why not try it?!
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I hope you have a good holiday time, I wish you good luck with any exams you may have, happy studying, happy relaxing and see you in the new year!
