GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY TEST UNITS 1 TO 4. ( Only group 1B)

Hello Juniors (Group B)!!

The second week is over! Good job staying at home and following sanitary rules! There will be a grammar and vocabulary online test on Tuesday March 31st. As you know, the test includes Units 1 to 3 ( grammar) and Units 1 to 4 ( Vocabulary). They are exactly the same contents previewed for THURSDAY 19th.

The exam will be active from 9.00 until 14.00.

THERE IT IS SOME EXTRA MATERIAL TO REVIEW.

SELF CORRECTING EXERCISES ON RELATIVE CLAUSES ( Watch the video first)

PAST SIMPLE IRREGULAR VERBS ( Do all the exercises )

Hello, dear 2B students!

How are you today? Ready for some composition day? Here is a little video by Tom from Eat, Sleep, Learn, giving us some advice about how to turn this negative situation into something positive.

This is what we are going to do:

1) FIRST, watch the video and answer (5) of the following comprehension questions TODAY Friday 27th.

The video lasts 11:30 minutes, make sure you can follow the video without being interrupted.

To do that read the questions first and be ready to take notes. You can stop the video or re-play it as often as you need. Do not use subtitles, if you can avoid them.

1. What are the 10 recommendations that he gives?

2. What is the speaker's recommendation to avoid the noise? Summarize your answer.

3. According to research, what effects does the phone has on you it is at sight?

7. What is a study buddy? 

8. What is the meaning of losing momentum?

9. What two Tv series does he recommend to learn English?

10. What learning platform to learn English does he recommends?

2) SECOND. Write a composition of about 120 words on the following topic. 

"HOW TO STUDY AT HOME DURING THE QUARANTINE PERIOD". Use the previous video as inspiration and try to give some advice and /or explain your own situation. Remember to use topic-related vocabulary, a variety of different grammar structures and appropriate linkers. Give your text a structure. Compositions will be sent to arantxaealo@gmail.com. The deadline for the composition is  Friday 3rd April.

I hope you like the material and make the most of it.
