Here are the main points from class this week. We worked on the 'Daydreaming' article from the dispensa, with questions similar of a similar type to some that are often found on the comprehension part of the written exam. We also looked at various principles for ordering information at unit 36 of the grammar book. Please finish this unit at home. On Thursday we worked on some sentence transformation exercises from a past exam in the dispensa, as this seems to be one of the exercises creating most difficulty on the grammar paper. Finally, we did some work on 'multi-word verbs' (phrasals) working on the list of phrasal verbs that I posted up a couple of weeks ago (the ones to be studied as part of the 2nd year exam).
Remember that I asked students to prepare their own sentences using the multi-word verbs on the 2nd year list – just to practise them a little. If you do this, feel free to e-mail them to me so that I can check them.
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, phrasal verb list and 'dispensa' to class.
