Going Further/Holiday Homework

1) Listening:

The best way for you to stop your English from getting rusty over the break is to do regular listening practice. Use the Law In Action series of podcasts or anything else you find interesting (BBC Radio 4 has a wide selection available to download or listen to via iPlayer). It doesn't matter if you don't understand everything and you can still do it even if you don't have a lot of time. 10 minutes, 4 times a week, for example, is both doable and extremely helpful. 

2) Presentations:

Next year I would like to get your talking about your own areas of interest and expertise. Therefore I would like you to choose an area of law that you either practice or find interesting. Start doing some reading about the topic (in English) and when we resume classes in the new year, we will look at how you can transform this information into a successful presentation.
