CRUNCH TIME!

It's crunch time and I'm not talking about the credit crunch (though I seem to be the only person in the U.K. not talking about it).

The next few days are crucial if you want to pass this course.

You should have finished your 2nd and 3rd drafts by now so that you can bring your essay into class tomorrow. If you do this then we can try to solve any problems together before the deadline on Friday. As I said today, do not count on having the self study session on Friday to finish your essay. On Friday we will start working on presentations (which you must give on Tuesday) and bring all your self study work on your blogs up to date. Remember these blogs are about reflecting on your progress and making plans for your future study - a list of websites is not sufficient! On Monday you must submit all your self study work for the month and it is worth 15% of your final grade - which could mean the difference between a pass and a fail.


The Exam is on Wednesday so start revising now. To recap, there will be 3 sections:
Grammar (50%) Modals, Tenses, Verb Patterns, Discourse Markers & Word Families
Writing (25%) A summarising task
Listening (25%) A note taking task

The exams are being written at the moment and reflect all the work you have been doing in class this month. We will confirm the precise timing of the exam once all the questions and tasks have been finalised.

You are nearly there! Heads down! Noses to the grindestone and shoulders to the wheel for the next few days!
