2016.03.09 Class 20

Today we began class by discussing the homework. Understanding the solution to the mystery was difficult, so we listened to the radio broadcast together and I helped you understand it. Some of you were amazed!

We then did three parts of the Reading and Use of English paper in exam conditions: parts 3 (Word formation), 4 (Sentence transformations) and 7 (Reading). We corrected them and discussed the correct answers.

After the break, we did the geography quiz that some of you wrote in the last class, worked on the lyrics of a couple of songs and watched a short film called Lost Property on the topic of loss.

At the end of class, I gave you your reports – which you should take to your parents – and also gave each of you a practice exam (Reading & Use of English and Writing sections) to do at home over the Easter holidays. I'll be giving the same thing to the rest of you next week, but I handed these out today since many of you are going to be absent next week.

Homework:

• Nothing to hand in but you should really keep studying the vocabulary in Quizlet and/or doing practice exercises in flo-joe
• You could also read and listen to this report, which we'll talk about next class:

 Some vocabulary from the report:

1. skid row
2. thought bubble (similar to speech bubble)
3. sidewalk
4. toiletries
5. shipping container
6. fundraiser
