Hello all!

As we approach our Mock Test, this Friday, please try and do as much revising as possible so that you will get the best check-up of your knowledge so far.

Today, as promised, we completed Unit 12 -  a good read

Your homework for Friday (though we shall not be able to correct it, then) involves a lot of writing and revising.

In your SB p. 81 activity - you have to write write a review like the sample I showed you in class. The advice is to keep it simple but include all the information required in the most grammatically correct way.
On p. 82 Writing folder - ex 5, you will write your own short story taking your inspiration from the titles you see in ex. 1. i gave you some sample answers for you to look at to help you with writing your story.

Still in your SB p. 84-85 you can review units 7-12 and use it as an excuse to look in the Grammar folder from p. 207 in your book. Remember the way I suggested to approach those exercises? Justify every answer you give. Why is it this and not that? If you don't know the answer, look it up in the Grammar Folder and memorise the rule.

I also gave you a Progress test to do. As mentioned, I shall be posting the key to the test on Friday morning. N.B. Only look at it if you have completed the test.

In your Workbook, complete all exercises in Unit 12.

All writing to be handed into me. You know the rules! Write clearly and leave ample space between the lines. Write your name and surname, too!

See you on Friday evening and good luck for the Mock Exam!
