Welcome to David's course!
You are a great opportunity. No one university in Rome tests student's english level and prepare for free course with native language teachers to improve english knowledge.
Some advices to you:- try to keep pace with homeworks and module's exercises: if you don't do the exercises every week, it will be more difficult to work later, above all if you are student workers (as I am!);- during the course, do the exercises of the EGU's study guide: if you are weak in some basic issues, you will re-study them in the unit of the book.
Good work and best of luck for your professional success....
Sabrina

As the sun dawned over Caracas, James Bond was already speeding down, Avenida Bolivar, the main boulevard of the Venezuelan city.
He thought about what M had said, back in London on Monday, “I want them in MI6 before the weekend, then I don’t want them back in Venezuela until June”. Typical M!
