Class one:
Today we started by correcting the homework on pages 7, 10 and 11. The main focus today was on speaking part 2. We worked from a template that we can use in any exam for any questions (see below for PDF). We began by simply comparing two photographs, before looking at the language of speculation. Students practised this by piecing together a cut up photograph. To end class we put all the techniques together to complete a speaking part 2 exam task, speaking for one minute.
Homework: Page 9 exercises 9-10
Class two:
Today we will begin by checking the homework set on Monday. Then to put some of the techniques and language we learned into practice, we’ll complete a part 1 exam task about a traditional festival held in the UK. After correcting, we will look at how to write an article for part 2 of the writing exam.
