May 10: Second Main Exam - Program of revisions

The exam will last the whole class session ie around 80-90 minutes maximum.

The exam will cover:
  • Grammar: 
    • units 105, 106, 107 and 108 (comparatives and superlatives)
    • 137, 138, 139, 140 (phrasal verbs)
  • Vocabulary:
    • audio reports: Aborigines in Australia / Eastwood's movies / Einstein / Ukraine / Blood Diamonds
    • two texts: Pottery Production in Akrotiri / The Origins of Languages
  • Listening comprehension: Aborigines in Australia / Eastwood's movies / Einstein / Ukraine / Blood Diamonds
Reminders: 
  • do arrive in advance as there will be no catch-up session whatsoever even if you have a valid reason.  
  • students who will be absent more than twice for unjustifed reasons will not be graded as they will be considered as excluded from the class even if they took part in the exams.
  • students who will not provide me with an entire chapter of exercises of their choice for their absences will get an extra zero mark on their average semester grade. 
  • May 17: no class (it's bank holiday) 
  • May 24: there will be a short vocab test + a reading comprehension exercise to allow you to get up to 2 extra points on the second main exam (May 10). There are 3 texts (see handout distributed on May 17 or see the link below to the Neuf Giga platform if you've lost it), Read them very carefully, check the vocabulary. 
Best regards,
