Hello all! Here's a summary of what we covered in class today:

SB Unit 26 - Pronunciation + Activity - Superstitions p. 171
SB Unit 28 - What would you do? - The second conditional pp. 180-182

Your homework:

SB Expressions with prep's + Vocab Spot p. 183
SB Activity - A desert Island ex 1-2
SB Quiz: What are you like?
SB Exam Folder 27-28
WB Unit 28

Please check out BBC Radio 4 Desert Islands Discs - a very interesting programme and fabulous selection of music. Have it in the background while you cook or simply relax, I'm a great fan of passive listening - you learn without actively making an effort.

As requested, here's an additional exam simulation. Hope it works - it should be a computer based test. Good luck!

Hello all!

So today we covered the reported speech and encountered some reporting verbs (announce, say, tell, explain) - Unit 22, in your SB.

I'd like you to complete all exercises in your SB, Unit 22, in writing, as we did most of them orally. Please leave the pronunciation exercises aside for we will do them together in class, on Friday. Do please complete the whole unit doing the vocabulary work and the part covering approval/disapproval, like/dislike, agree/disagree. If there are any doubts about this we will go over it quickly in class on Friday.

In you SB, please also complete Exam Folders 20, 21 and 22, preparing any written material so you can hand it in to me during our next lesson.

Please complete the whole of Unit 22 in your WB and do the Pronunciation exercise in Unit 19.

Thank you for all your work so far.

Gabriella

P.S. Here's the answer key to unit 19.
