B1a - weekly update

Here are this week's main points. We have been looking at reported speech and indirect questions in class. We've also been working on some exercises from the grammar test. On Tuesday we did a 'mock reading comprehension' (from the January 2011 exam). We looked through the results together in class. Please remember that if any points are unclear, come to speak with me in office hours. We spoke about how best to approach the reading comprehension, but if that still isn't clear - tell me.

Over the break, please continue with your studies and revision. As well as reviewing what we've been doing so far, please also look at the units I've mentioned recently as well as units 37, 49, 51, 60, 62, 63 in your grammar books.

Remember that the chapters in your book dedicated to phrasal verbs (as we said from the 1st semester) should be studied on your own.

In the first week after the Easter break we'll be doing a 'mock grammar exam' on Tuesday (please remember that the first Tuesday after Easter our lesson will be in 'aula rossa' in the Faculty of Economics, not in our usual classroom). We'll also be looking at tag questions.

Continue doing reading/writing practice - if you have any work done, I'm happy to check through it for corrections.
