Hi guys,

Class one:

We worked through pages 24 and 25, which relate to part 5 of the Reading and Use of English. Specifically it concerns understanding difficult words from the context. This was in preparation of the exam task on pages 26-28. Then we discussed where new words come from , and watched this TedEd video:

Homework: exam task on page 26-28.

In class two we are looking at part 2 of the speaking exam. This includes the language of comparison and speculation. Bring your tin hats because the theme is conspiracy theories!

Homework:

Proposal

Your college currently doesn’t provide enough support for students planning to spend time studying in another country. You see this notice in the library.

The college is planning to introduce a special course for students planning to spend time studying in another country. The college principal invites students to send a proposal outlining any problems students may face whe studying abroad and suggesting ways in which the course could address these problems. A decision can then be made about what to include on the course.

Write your proposal in 220-260 words in an appropriate style.
