Prepare for writing and finish your compendium text

As you can see I am home today trying to recover from pneumonia..

However, you still have two things to work on

Don't forget to use the beginning of the lesson to complete the work on your anthologies.

What if you don't even understand what the texts are about?

Well open the online version of the texts. There you could use a translation tool to give you some idea about what is going on!
(However, the idea is that your vocabulary level should be expanding all the time!)


This Friday, as you can read on the planner, we will be doing the mock writing essay.

The theme is the twentieth century. So, today I want you to start looking for resources to help you prepare for writing about it.
Think about the great people, events, discoveries and problems of the twentieth century (1900's)..

The year most of you were born was its last year...

In the national test at English 6 level you will receive preparation materials a week before the test- to get you thinking..
