I hope you have found the presentation and feedback sessions useful and I hope you see the feedback as suggestions rather than just criticism. After all, this is not a "test" but an opportunity to try things, ask questions and take risks. If you were unhappy with your presentation, you can always do it again (in whole or in part) to try to improve it, or try something new. The standard of the presentations has been excellent and you all have great potential as public speakers in English, so don't give up!

Homework
Try to keep in contact with English over the break. While it might be difficult to find 90 minutes once a week, 15 minutes 5 or 6 times a week is not only more realistic but actually more useful.
Start by reviewing the grammar and vocabulary from unit 2 using the worksheet I distributed in class. Answers to the exercises can be found here: http://seansstudypage.blogspot.it/2014/10/damico-shipping-b2-revision-answers.html. Also build on all the good pronunciation work you have done this term by listening to English regularly.
We are now two thirds of the way through the course. We have 10 more lessons together, starting from 7th January 2015. In the first lesson back Mirta, Stefano and Luigi will have an opportunity to give their presentations and Angela will present her song of the week.
