ABOUT BLAIR ENGLISH
Blair English is run by Chris Clayton, an English teacher based in Madrid. The website provides a series of free and quick online business, cv/resume and social English vocabulary exercises at different levels. Each of the exercises starts with a text where some of its vocabulary is highlighted in bold. This text is then followed by a quiz where the answers to the questions are the highlighted vocabulary from the text. When an answer is correct, an 'info' box will appear after the answer box, where more information about the word/phrases and how to use it correctly is contained. The info box also contains a Spanish translation of the word/phrase. There are also some articles on the website. They are written in simple English and contain advice on how to do things like write a business email or choose an English course.
WHAT I THINK
The site is well-designed and there's a lot of useful content for business English students. However, it's a pity that the dialogues are only available in written form. It would have been much more useful had there been an audio version as well. And I'm not sure that an article featuring online poker tips is really appropriate for this sort of website!
