Well, we started once again, but for those who couldn't come, you missed out on chocolate! No, no one spoke English, it was just to make everyone happy :-) (it was dark chocolate!)
Then, with a happy smile on everyone's face, we did the listen test. For those who couldn't make it, I'll try to arrange for a room to take it in.
We also looked at English in Use part 1. Here is some advice for dealing with this task (as preparation - NOT for use during the exam)
We also went over the speaking. Look at C5 in the middle of the exam book.
The task is to compare and contrast the pictures, saying how important it is to be accurate and what could happen if the people in the picture aren't accurate.
We went over this picture together, looking at how one could start, by comparing or contrasting, and then possibilites for the other two parts of the task.
Ideas: Both pictures show someone talking to other people.
This situation is very formal, but the other picture is less formal.
If she is not clear, it can have major consequences, but if he makes a mistake, or if they don't understand, he can show them and help them understand.
----For those that were in the class - could you add more as comments???
Homework: Look at C7 and C9. Prepare to describe these pictures in class. Especially concentrate on possible language, of comparing and contrasting, hypothesis, cause and result, etc.
You can also send me a springdoo message (voice e-mail) which is very easy to do, and you can benefit from having a very concise comment!
More homework: Unit 11, see especially the reading task and grammar -inversion (pp 142-144)
Writing- either the proposal in unit 11 or another writing task from the exam you did during the holiday.
Could you also send me your results if you haven't already?
Next week: speaking! writing (yours from the exam) and more E. in U.
If you have any other wishes, please let me know :-)
Greetings!

We also looked at English in Use part 1. Here is some advice for dealing with this task (as preparation - NOT for use during the exam)
- Look at each set and find what the words have in common, e.g. form and meaning
- Go back and decide how the words differ from each other, also taking word collocation into consideration
- Look at the text, reading entire paragraphs, and consider which word fits the context best
