This week we did various types of exam-style exercises in the lab. In preparation for the listening exam continue listening to all the English you can – both listening in a concentrated way, but also listening to English as 'background noise' while doing other things – it helps, and your brain is still taking it in, even though you're not necessarily concentrating on it. As we've mentioned various times, other things you can do to practise your listening at CLA include past exam tests and the First Certificate books (it's B2 level) which are at CLA. You can also listen to the monthly CD that comes with the magazines Speak Up or English 24.
Keep chatting in English, prepare your short stories, read, listen, write, sing songs in English too - why not? It's all good practice! Keep your English firmly active - not just in preparation for your exams, but over the summer period until classes start again next semester.
As promised, I left the exercises you did in class last week at the CLA secretary's office – please collect your work and look through it.
Remember that although our lessons have now ended, I'm still available via e-mail, or during office hours for information regarding our course and the things you have to study.
Don't forget to sign up for all your exams on the Faculty website – well before the deadline (see previous post for more details).
I'll be posting up some general advice about your exams at the start of next week, so please check the blog on Monday or Tuesday.
Good luck with your exams, and see you soon!
