Prof 1 (Saturday classes) Xmas Homework

1. Write a creative composition about Christmas applying the creative principles which we talked about in the last class of term 1. About 300-350 words, to be sent to me or handed in by the first lesson next year. (If you email it, please remember to include your name and class in the file name - don't just send me things like 'xmas story.docx' etc).

2. The first topic of the next module is NIGHT and we'll also be talking about SLEEP, a theme to which one or two of my Saturday morning students will relate well! There are no specific units of English Vocabulary in Use Advanced for this topic, but before you breathe a sigh of relief, there are two things to do from this book. Firstly, this is a good time to catch up with the units from term 1 for those students who haven't already done them. Secondly, if you haven't already done it, you should work through the introductory units, i - viii, pages 6 - 19. Remember, the units from this book are an integral part of the course, and they shouldn't be seen as optional extra work.

3. The book we decided to read next term is 'A Cruel Madness' by Colin Thubron. Do order it in time to have it before the start of next term! The Amazon link is here: http://amzn.to/tKq5br and the Book Depository link is here: http://bit.ly/vZAv86 And feel free to start reading!

4. Finally, here's a podcast to listen to from ABC Radio National: "Dreams: the stuff memories are made of?"
