English Recommended bibliography for your self-study

I'm studying English (C1 level) in the lenguage school of my city at the moment. This is the list of books my teacher advice us. In my opinion, it's not a good idea to buy dictionaries. There are a lot of good programs or websites that you can use free and you will find the words faster. Actually you'll be able to listen the pronuntiation too. Otherwise, I have used "Essential Grammar in use" and "English Grammar in use and I think they are very good books.

Cómo darse de baja en Xing

Trucos Badoo de un perro viejo

Dentro de poco haré 3 años en Badoo . Tuve una primer época en el que me lo tomé muy en serio, estuve muy metido y tuve los mejores resultados. De aquellas experiencias acabé escribiendo ésta, la página de más éxito de este blog . Pero ya llevo una muy larga temporada en el que entro de forma bastante intermitente.  ¿Está este artículo escrito por alguien harto de badoo? ¿Estoy quemado como la mayoría? Yo diría que no, pero...

Tipos de mujeres en Badoo

Aviso, esto va a parecer la clase de artículo que sale en revistas de quinceañeras. No voy a ser metódico ni amable. Aquí describo  los distintos perfiles de mujeres de hasta 30 años con las que he llegado a tener conversaciones en Badoo. Que aquí sólo critique a ciertas chicas no significa que los hombres seamos mejores, ni mucho menos. Al tema:
