Hello, everyone. 
Here's what we did in class on strong adjectives, and adverbs of degree. For more information, (or clearer images), follow the links to the Busyteacher website.
Remember, you can also practice the conversations on your own. Talking to yourself doesn't always mean you're crazy.
See you in class.

FCE exam 23.11.15 & 25.11.15

Hello, everyone.

This is to remind you that on Monday and Wednesday next week, 23.11.15. & 25.11.15, we'll be doing an FCE exam. 

On Monday, the exam covers the Reading and Use of English (grammar and vocabulary) sections, while on Wednesday we'll do the Listening and Writing sections. The writing is an essay, so remember what we've studied regarding structure and connecting ideas.

The exam has two objectives: firstly, to introduce you to the FCE format, and secondly to identify students who could be in Stage 2. This doesn't often happen, but if it does, the CSIM tries to find a place for them at Stage 2 level, and at a time that suits them, though this cannot be guaranteed.

See you on Monday.

Tom.
