Introduction
The distance education may enable students to be part of a school setting through technology,
that is, the virtual classroom which helps them to have social interaction. Then as we cannot be
physically present, we have to take advantage of this tool to start communicating and
participating.
This activity Breaking the Ice plays a significant role as the first event at this level in which to
create a comfortable environment is important. It will help you to make introductions and share
thoughts and see that you have things and interests in common because all of you share a
similar goal.
Breaking the Ice wants to encourage you to welcome and warm up the conversation among all
the students to learn something about each other by writing a personal profile, that is, to make a
brief biography of you to share with the participants in this virtual classroom.
On the other hand, the Online Tests are an important part of the learning process because they
can help to determine your achievement and the knowledge you have acquired. They also
facilitate students self-evaluation; this means that you can evaluate how you are learning and
what is happening with your learning in order to make some changes to improve.
The Online Tests are administered as quick progress tests to measure important information
you work through the course and which allows them to have a progressive learning pattern. In
addition, this will provide them with preparation for both the online guides and the exams held
on site; this is the reason why, online tests are going to be given at the end of every three units
of study.

Student assistance
In order to boost the appropriate development of the forum, you must read the rubrics very
carefully to avoid any misunderstanding. Remember that you can search and revise models for
writing profiles on the internet or different English textbooks which can help you with this task.
However, remember that this is not a copy and paste strategy. This is about using and putting
into practise your learning skills for your own benefit.
The online tests are basically based on language use; this means that the tests will be about
grammatical structures and vocabulary. You must revise the vocabulary panels, at the start of
each unit, especially the words that go together and form one phrase (for example, on a beach,
do homework, go swimming) which highlight the high-frequency of words and expressions that
you will need in the wider world. If you are aware of them, you will succeed in learning them
The grammatical structures are presented and practiced in context so to study them, you are
encouraged to work out the rules of form and use for yourself, in this way, you can see and
understand how grammar works in a natural and integral part of the language learning. Then to
consolidate your grammar knowledge, you may check the grammar reference in the back of the
Students book and after that you can do the practice exercises in your book. This facilitates
your language acquisition. In addition and for further practice of the vocabulary and grammar, it
is recommendable to use the workbook to reinforce what you have learned.
