BOOK CLUB - FIRST READING ASSIGNMENT (2016-17)

Here’s a little reminder of the reading assignment for this month, just in case you forgot over the holidays. I know how absorbing Christmas celebrations are…

On January 23rd/24th we will be holding a class discussion of the books you all have read (Remember the book they should be fiction and have at least level B1 or Intermediate if you are an Intermedio 1 student or unabridged if you are an Avanzado 2 student).

You will present the book you chose to a small group of your classmates. You will need to complete a worksheet with notes about the book to help you in your presentation. If you still don’t have the worksheet, ask me for one. I will collect the worksheets you have completed after the discussion.


I hope you found the book you chose interesting and you are excited to share it with your classmates. If you didn’t enjoy it, though, don’t be afraid to be critical, we all would like to know your real opinion. Your classmates will find your recommendations very useful for the next reading assignment.


Keep posted!

THE TOUGHEST JOB IN THE WORLD (AVANZADO 2)

Dear students,

This week we'll be dealing with the topic of work and the skills necessary to do different jobs. Here's a video about the skills required to do the toughest job in the world. Watch it and let me know if you could guess what job is described before the video finished. Be prepared to bring out the tissues! :´(

TRANSACTIONAL EMAIL - AVANZADO 2



Here's a link to a useful website where you will be able to find the sample transactional letter we saw in class, as well as writing samples for FCE tasks with detailed guidelines. Some of the sample tasks might be similar to the ones in the EOI certificate exam so I think it's worth taking a look. I hope it really helps!
