IELTS with Cambridge David

Conjunctions and Discourse Markers - why are they so important in IELTS?

Ayer SpanisHolidays “se vistió de etiqueta”. Este modismo lo utilizamos para indicar que alguien o algo se adapta a una situación en la que se requiere formas, protocolo y elegancia. No es que fuera a la ópera, no. Si no que por primera vez, lo presenté en una feria de turismo: el B-Travel, que es un encuentro internacional en Barcelona, del sector del turismo en  el que instituciones, países e iniciativas privadas presentan a sus países, y también exponen empresas de gestión turística en un espacio común.
