In the first part of today’s class we will begin with some speaking practice (part 2).

Following on we will complete two listening tasks (parts 3 and 4) from the B2 exam trainer.

In the second half of class we will focus on report writing. Since Halloween is just around the corner we will focus on the topic of festivals. We will discuss festivals in both the UK and Spain, and how they are celebrated. 

We’ll then look at an example question and how to structure and answer it.

We will finish with a Kahoot to learn useful phrases for report writing.

Homework:

  1. Exam students must complete another full practice test

2. Complete the following CAE report question:

In your English class you have been discussing festivals around the world. Your tutor has asked you to write a report on a popular festival in your country that may interest other students. Your report should:

  • Describe the event, saying where and when it takes place
  • Say how popular it is and why
  • Outline some changes you think should be made

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