B1a - weekly update

Here are some of the main points from this week. We did a mock test of the 1st year grammar section of the written exam (we'll be looking through the results next Tuesday). We also did some gap-fill exercises from the dispensa (Facebook prize). On Thursday we spoke about the short stories (in particular 'Man from the South' and 'The Landlady'), worked on question tags, did some general conversation and worked on a past exam gap-fill exercise from the dispensa, analysing how to choose well when filling in the gaps.

As I mentioned in class, as the semester is drawing to a close I'm assigning you less work to do at home, in order to give you more time to dedicate to revising, reviewing and looking at any points of the programme that you still need to study. Also use this time to continue reading your short stories in preparation for the oral exam and to continue doing past exam papers (as ever, I'm very happy to check through such work if you bring it to me). Please remember that if there are any difficulties or uncertainties while you're preparing for the exams, as always - come to speak with me as soon as possible.

Next week please bring short stories, grammar books and 'dispensa' to class.

Please remember that if there are any difficulties or uncertainties while you're preparing for the exams, as always - come to speak with me as soon as possible.
