End of Term Count Down!

Thursday 13^th

Hi, guys!

How are you doing?

We didn’t see David last week. I guess he was busy studying for his exams. This is “exam’s time”, isn’t it?

Well, what did we do in class?

We talked about “Trinity Tests” and tried to follow the pattern established to talk about your different topics.

·         Laura chose to talk about a film she loves: “The Hunger Games”

·         Andrea told us about the last time she went to an airport.

·         Alejandro told us about what he did the previous weekend.

·         Pilar told us what she was going to do the following weekend.

·         Óscar told us about his plans for next summer.

Remember that you have to write four short headings (titles) related to your topic. You won’t be able to have the form (piece of paper with the lay-out of the test) with you. You are supposed to hand it out (to deliver, to give) to the examiner.

You will be asked questions and you are supposed to ask at least one question to the examiner.

It wasn’t bad but we need to practise a lot more if we want to succeed.

First of all, we need to improve our vocabulary!

We also watched a video sample of an 11- year-old girl taking in (doing) the test and we commented on her performance (what she did) after watching the video.

Then, we talked about the environment.

Pilar and Óscar weren’t exactly excited about it because they had just had a test on “The environment”. Surprisingly enough, they didn’t master (didn’t know) the vocabulary!

We did a listening comprehension about “Pollution in the Oceans” but I’m afraid you didn’t understand much of it and just answer the questions at random. (Without thinking, just trying to guess, trying your luck as in a lottery game).

We’ll go on (continue) talking about it this afternoon.

See you in about six hours!!!
