Here are some of the main points from this week. We worked on comprehension questions regarding the short stories, we refreshed indirect questions, looked at more complex forms of passives and did some job interview simulations. We also worked on a past exam reading comprehension (for those of you who took it home to finish, please remember to e-mail it to me this week – and also to do, and send me, the written composition of the same test.). For students not present at that lesson, please do one of the past reading comprehensions/compositions and send me it a.s.a.p. (as soon as possible).
Other than your independent study, you should also be looking at units 21 and 24 in the grammar book and in preparation for next week you should also read the Economist Debate article about democracy and the Internet (see 'dispensa'). Highlight the general terms used in this article which you believe would be suitable for essay writing on any theme. Understand the basic argument presented in the for and the against texts for discussion in class.
As promised, I have been in contact with the local newspaper various times, in the hope that we could set up some kind of writing project with them – unfortunately I'm afraid that the outcome is that it won't be possible, as only student-journalists can write for the paper.
