I know you don´t like homework but I also know that you want to pass selectivity.
Here is then your homework:

1. COMPOSITION. Letter of application. First read page 24 and look at the model, where to write the address, and the way it is structured. Look at page 146 for a model too and use the expressions you find there.

2. Use vocabulary of the photocopy "WORK" of the "split group", collocations!!!! (eg. "highly recommendable, deeply ashamed,...) and connectors (in spite of/since/...)

3. BRAINSTORMING ESSENTIAL!!!!!!!!! (deliver it to me on 8th January)
