CHRISTMAS HOMEWORK

Hi mates,

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)

4. Send composition to papallona2@gmail.com before the 8th January

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

And if anybody wants or needs to revise Reported Speech,

go to : REPORTED PRACTISE

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!

BYE BYE!!

PRACTICE AFTER THE EXAM

Hi there,

After correcting your exam, I realised most of you have got problems with verb tenses. So go to the entry below and practise:
  • Verb tenses
  • Use and omission of articles
  • Prepositions. Follow the instructions and write a Word document with the expressions with prepositions that you have and also adjectives+ prepositions
  • If you finish, which I think is not possible, make more vocabulary slips of papers

That´s all folks. Sorry for not coming but I am about to be a father for second time!! But as you see I don´t forget you!!

See you soon!!
