Revision program for the first exam (April 1st and April 3rd)


Dear students (the Tuesday and Thursday groups)

Your first exam will take place on April 1st and April 3rd from 9 to 10.


The revision program includes :

  • Idiomatic expressions of the second semester : Idioms 1 ("lemon"), Idioms 2 ("the early bird..."), "Money" and "Birds"
  • Vocab 1 and 2
  • Audio reports : The Business of Genetic Ancestry and Blood Diamonds
In the exam, you will also hear an unknown report and you will have to answer a few comprehension questions : I strongly recommend that you listen as much as you can to reports from the BBC, PBS and ABC.

In case you missed some of the classes, do catch up very quickly.

Here is the link to listen to the reports studied so far :
