2016.01.20 Class 13



Today we warmed up by doing a speaking activity designed to help you prepare for Speaking part 2 and then quickly moved on to doing a mock Reading & Use of English exam.

The average results for the Use of English were 49% and for the Reading 57%. That is a good improvement over the results in November, though still a bit shy of where you ought to be before taking the exam.

After the break, you finished the exam and then recapped The Way Way Back, the film we began in class last week – we reviewed the names of the main characters, what the relationships between them are and how they seemed to be as people. We then continued with the film, watching about 20 minutes more.

By the way, I also added the words that some of you handed in from the Winter holiday reading homework to the list in Quizlet.

Homework:
  • Writing part 1 (essay) of the mock exam I gave you. Please review pp.88-89 in the SB, as well as my comments on the essays you wrote in term 1, before writing your essay. But once you start writing, don't consult any other materials.
