B2.1 - next week planning

Before beginning with next week homework, let me remind you to send me your compositions on describing a place (p.119 in your textbook). I'll correct and send them back as soon as possible.

I also remind you that those who have student's workbook can use it to review what we've already seen. If you don't have it, there's plenty of material on the blog to work with. For everybody, this is a really good time to have a look on grammar and vocabulary reference in your book.

To finish with, remember this is not a holiday but an extraordinary circunstance. You should work steadly as if you were in class to avoid missing the course. You must work, at least, the same time you are in class, that is, 5 hours a week plus the time for homework.

I'm sure you understand how difficult it's this moment for everybody and we all should do our best to go on with our daily life. Work at home to go on with your learning. I wish the best for you.

PROGRAMME

• This listening about shopping on line is B2 but it can help you with oral exam as well because it gives you pros and cons of buying on the internet: click here

• Reading exercises:

• This exercise is quite easy: click here. However, I think it's a good example of a composition as an opinion article.
• this is a multiple choice test to practise for the exam. click here
• Writing skills:
• you should write a composition about a memory or an anecdote. Choose one of the suggestions given on p.87 in your textbook. If you need some help, go to p.120 where it is explained how to write a story. It's impotant to know that you "guide" the person who is reading your story; be logical and give details about the circunstances and the event itself. Remember to end with a conclusion or why you chose that story/anecdote.
• This link is to improve your writing by correcting typical mistakes for B2: click here
• Speaking:
• Practise a monologue with one of the topics given on p.87. Use your movile to record your speech (2-3 minutes). If you don't like it (not fluent, short vocabulary, pronunciation...) tell the same story again. Choose another topic and do the same.

Hope this is helpful for all of you. Remember you can send me your work by email.

All against the coronavirus!
