N.B.: 'fantastic' is an extreme adjective - 'absolutely' is OK.
Homework and Vocabulary
We reviewed your homework from the last class (you might not have known about it if you didn't remember to check the blog for your homework) and you had the vocabulary quiz you begged me for and which I begrudgingly promised to give you.
Practice exam
Today you did part of a practice exam, more specifically the Reading & Use of English sections. Next week we'll continue with it.
Review this Quizlet list , which has vocabulary from the story you have for homework (below).
Read 'Sleeping', by Katharine Weber, which I gave to you in class. If you missed class, you can also read it at CommonLit. Answer the questions on the back of the paper.
Today we began with a vocabulary quiz based on Two Peas in a Pod.
After that, you did a real Reading and Use of English paper from the First For Schools exam. All of you finished the exam and we corrected it after the break
In the next class I will return your exams to you and we will correct all four Use of English parts in detail. It's really important to study the Use of English exercises we do in class, and especially those from practice tests. Improving your mark in the Use of English is a matter of learning combinations of grammar and vocabulary. The best place to find these is in readings. The next best place is in practice exams and textbooks, so I will be encouraging you to take advantage of this (i.e. expect quizzes)!
Watch the video below on how to do part 1 of the speaking exam
pp.10-11 (Reading part 5, pay attention especially to vocabulary)
