As regards written assignments, we've seen how to write an informal email, you've written recommendations to visit interesting places on a day trip, you've also narrated a short story in the past, you've written beautiful and accurate descriptions of your idyllic place, as well as a formal cover letter applying for a job. And I almost forgot, three film reviews as well! Any of these could be in the exam next week, as well as an opinion essay.
And some of you have already handed in a review on the book chosen for this year. Do you remember you have to read a graded reader and bring it to class for our classroom library?
Have a nice revision weekend!!
