Today we talked about our focus for Term 3, which I suggested be doing FCE practice exercises, especially from the Reading & Use of English paper, as well as the Speaking paper. Some of you requested Listening practice as well, and we'll definitely do that.

We went on to consider the topic of Science and Technology, starting by viewing and talking about a short film called Aspirational (below). We then continued with the topic in Unit 8 in the SB, doing the reading and vocabulary exercises on pp.64-65.

Later we looked quickly at the passive voice in exercise 2 on p.67 (note that your homework is to do exs. 3, 4 and 6 on that page). Later we practice Speaking section 4 using p.68 and a part 4 in Cambridge video on YouTube. We ended class by doing a Kahoot quiz on social media.

Homework:

• SB p.67 exs. 3, 4, 6
