Hi everyone!

Welcome to Anita and Olga's webpage!
This is a term project for a class that we are attending at ELTE university, Budapest, Hungary called Internet In The English Classroom.
We are third year students (future English teachers!) and we are presently doing our teaching practice in
Puskás Tivadar Távközlési Technikum sponsored by MA TÁV! (For those who are blissfully unaware, Matav is the big imperialist Hungarian telecommunications company.)
This site is designed for our enthusiastic and lovely Puskás students (16 fourteen year-old boys )!
A little information about the boys: they started English this year, all beginners (more or less) and all struggling with Headway Elementary. We are their first English teachers (imagine the shock!) and we both teach them at the same time (even more shock!). We are forced to do this pair-teaching business for financial reasons, but we don't mind because we get along pretty well outside the formal environment, too. You could even say we are friends. Good friends.

But let's get back to the serious business, the real purpose of this webpage! From our teacher, Enikő (if you want to check out her homepage visit: Eniko's homepage), we got a task which was to create a language practising or testing or teaching site with our students in mind as audience. (Mentioned above.)
This is how we thought of the great idea of making a homepage full of useful links, a test specifically designed for our students' (which doesn't mean that you, in case you're not a Puskás student, cannot try to solve it) and all kinds of fun stuff.

And now comes the real thing!
