C1a - weekly update

Some of the main points from this week...

We worked on some of the common errors that I've seen coming up in your written work. Please pay attention to these points, as they really should be avoided. If you're making mistakes choosing between the present perfect and the past simple, please review them. If things are unclear, please speak with me.

We also did a 'mock exam' of the grammar test in class and looked at the main problem points. Please don't leave revision until the last minute. Come to speak with me in office hours if there are things you need to clarify.

We also reviewed the conditionals again. As with all units, please study this unit some more at home, as conditionals often come up on the exam.

As you should have seen, I've also posted up a link to a list of phrasal verbs to study for the exam. It's shorter than the list in the book. We'll be looking at phrasals some more

After the Easter break we'll be looking at phrasal verbs and a few final points.

In preparation for our final few weeks of class, please look through units 14, 22, 33 and 35 in the grammar book. We'll be looking at phrasals and comparisons some more after the break. Please also continue with your revision of the programme of study for the exams. Read, write, do exercises, check them. If you do any written/comprehension/grammar work that you'd like to show me, as usual - no problem.

I'll also be posting up a pdf with some further practice exercises relating to sentence transformation, if you feel you need to practise this some more. Watch this space...

One important message - after the break the Monday lessons will be as normal, but the first Tuesday back, we will have a temporary room change. For that day only, our class will be in 'aula rossa' in the Economics Faculty.
