CAE – November 20

henrick — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:58:37 +0000

Hello there,

Today we corrected all the homework that had been assigned, and we also had a listening mock test. There’s no homework today, but I’ll leave you with a couple of recommendations:

1. Pay a visit to Flo-Joe and do some of the exercises they bring there.

2. Make sure you try to listen to a couple of episodes from Newspod.

3. Visit the Guardian Unlimited online and try to read at least two articles this week. You can pick and choose the articles – choose a topic that interests you.

Cheers!!

So,

Hello there students,

We did a lot of things in class today, huh?! Lots of songs, videos, and we also studied a bit (I guess).

As we couldn’t calculate our carbon footprint in class, here goes a nice link for you to do it at home. Oh, it’s in Portuguese, but anyway… CARBON FOOTPRINT

And here’s the video we watched today: Grocery Store Wars

Homework:

- Coursebook: page 117 (Grammar 1)
- Maximiser: Finish unit 9 (in case you still haven’t done that)
- CD-ROM: All units from 1 – 9 (in case you haven’t done it)

Have a great weekend!
