Final Revision: Some Tips for the Exam

Just in case you have some doubts, let's see some useful links to find tools to improve your English.

• WRITING: 
• Connectors and linkers; this is a long list to check which you remember - click here
• Use the photocopies I gave you or the samples in the book to see how to organise your writing.
• If you want to see some more samples, look for examples on the internet if possible but you can see some on the web page

• SPEAKING: 
• Monologue: use topics from the books and try to be logical and give details; e.g. What do you do to improve the environment? What would your ideal job be like? Tell me something weird that happened to you.
• Dialogues: you could use the ones at the end of the book (p. 162-181) for pair work. If there are 3 people, the tendency is to have the same card for all the candidates; e.g.:  A mutual friend wants to start learning French. Give him/her advice about what to do and problems this person would face. 

• LISTENING: you may use some of the web pages I've already given you to practice but you could do these other exercises from a page to prepare FCE: click here or here

• READING: this same page has a link to prepare the reading tasks of FCE: click here

Try to make the last effort for the final exam. We're finishing the classes!

NB2.1 - Unit 7: Verbs with prepositions

• exercise 1     exercise 2    exercise 3  (a list)    exercise 4    exercise 5

Let's practise with some listening comprenhesion exercises for B1+ and B2:

• About other ways of travelling: click here
• About personality, in this case Frida Kahlo: click here

In this lesson we also have quantifiers. You should use your textbook but remember what I explained about uncountable/singular and countable/plural nouns and use the link we saw: click here

You should do the exercise of rading on you textbook 7A (p. 81) and the mediation I gave you in class about the rules of an owners' community. Next Tuesday I'l give the fotocopy to those who couldn't come last Tuesday.
