2B USE OF ENGLISH- PEvAU TEST WITH ANSWERS

Hi 2B seniors!

Wishing for the week to end? Well , lucky you, because it's Friday! 🥳

Let's concentrate on the second part of the PEvAU exam, first. According to the new format you will have to choose 6 questions out of 12. So, read the questions , focus on the choice that you have and choose the 6 best questions for you with the least possibility of mistakes. Remember correctors will only correct 6 of them , so in case you answer over that number , they will only take into account the six first answers.

This is what you are going to find in your PEvAU test:

So , it is time to practice with this model. In about 30 minutes you'll have to decide which 6 questions will make you succeed. This is what you have to do:

1B LISTENING AND INFORMAL VOCABULARY

Hello My dear 1B students!

I have prepared some listening and vocabulary for you today. You are going to learn 10 new adjectives. Watch the video, play it and pause it , as many times as you need. Copy the adjectives and the example sentences for every adjective on your notebook ( make a list of them, they will be included in a text next week). Note if they have a particular use, if they are rude, affectionate, if they have more than 1 meaning, for example, or of they are used in a particular context. You do not have to show it to me unless I ask you to by email. 

SAY ALL THE ADJECTIVES ALOUD AND PRACTICE YOUR PRONUNCIATION WHILE YOU WATCH THE VIDEO.

Once you got the 10 adjectives and the example sentences written , be ready to apply them in context. 

TODAY'S ASSIGNMENT:

CHOOSE 5 of them and write an example sentence for every one of them. Try to find an equivalent of the adjective  in Spanish , take the context where it is applied into account before choosing the Spanish translation. Write you five sentences in the comment section👇. Please, write your name.
