READING PRACTICE 1B JUNIOR STUDENTS

Good morning dear 1B juniors!

Here is a little reading practice. I have chosen the general topic of FOMO ( Fear of missing out) . read the text clicking on this LINK. 👈
Read the text as many times as you need. Do not use a dictionary ( you can check the words afterwords)



Do all the exercises (multiple choice, matching and gap fill) and tell me your results on a comment.
Make a list of unknown words and check the meaning on an online dictionary. 👈
Please include on your comment what new words did you learned while doing this reading.

EXTRA CREDIT:
Answer the question: Do you think FOMO is common where you are? You can also reply your classmates' answers giving an opinion.

    1. Hi Marta! Well done! Remember "Worryingly" is an adverb, so the translation should be "preocupantemente".

    Do you think FOMO is common where you are?
    I think not, since we are not so dependent on the phone, much less wake up to use it, I think that only happens in specific cases

  11. Hi Arantxa! These are my results:
    • Multiple choise: 4/6.
    • Matching: 8/8.
    • Gap fill: 7/8

    I didn't really learned any new vocabulary but I did discovered the existence of the FOM, I though it was something like the fear of missing out the alarm or your time to wake up or something like that.
