• Finish the essay you began working on in week one and hand it in to me

• Read units 26 and 27 of your grammar book

• Bring the dispensa (as well as your books) to class.

Important – please remember that the 'weekly summary' is a brief overview of only some of the main points covered in class and is not to be considered as a way of substituting coming to class. Please remember also that certain materials are covered in class, but you are also responsible for independent study in order to cover all areas of the course programme. Also don't forget that it is essential that you practise your English (reading, writing, speaking and listening) on a regular basis – outside of class as well as in class – in order to aim for good results.
