Go Island Hopping and Practice "go + -ing"

Textbooks are great. They help us study. They help our teachers plan lessons. But did you know that you can study English anywhere?

All of these places are accessible by ferry. We recommend taking sun cream, lots of water, a delicious picnic, a parasol, and a nice English book to read!
