CAEX-Wednesday

Just a reminder of things to do following our class on Wednesday evening.

First, homework, which was to have a look at the exam as a whole - get familiar with the papers, what's in them, how long you have for each paper, how much each paper is worth, etc. We'll have a quiz on this next class, so be ready!

For exam practice, I asked you to do Test 1 Paper 1 (reading) and Test 1 Paper 2 (writing) question 1. For the reading, self correct, and ask questions in class about anything you didn't understand. For the writing, remember to use the questions we answered about the writing task we did in class. These will help you plan your composition before you start! Please write your answer on lined paper. DON't do it on a computer - you won't have one in the exam! If you have a scanner (and write in dark ink!) you can scan your composition if you like, and email it to me. You can also hand it in at reception if you're close and it's convenient for you to do so. If you send it/hand it in by next weekend, I'll correct it before the class so you get feedback more quickly.

Do remember to go to the link and see if there's something you want to comment on.

And, very important, send me an email identifying yourself so that I can contact you by email. My email is snowfinch@yahoo.com

See you soon!

Prof 4 - Tuesday

Following on from our class yesterday, here are a couple of things to do and take note of.

First of all, the vocabulary book you should all have is English Vocabulary in Use Advanced by McCarthy and O'Dell (CUP). For homework this week, do unit 37 'Animals and birds'.

You should also look at the vocabulary you learned from the text we listened to and read about Dogs on the New York Catwalk (not the names of all the breeds, though, unless you really want to learn them). We'll do a follow up exercise on this vocabulary next class.

The book we are going to read this term is 'Refugee Boy' by Benjamin Zephaniah. You can buy this locally if you can find it, or on sites such as amazon.co.uk or the book depository.

Also remember to go to the link and see if there's something you want to comment on.

And, very important, send me an email identifying yourself so that I can contact you by email if I need to. My email is snowfinch@yahoo.com

Nice meeting you all last night. See you next Tuesday!
