C1 Lesson 9
Class
Writing Skills - Correction: spelling, punctuation & grammar (p. 142)
Listening Skills - Exam practice (Part , p. 143, Brain Power)
Homework
- Write an article - task 3a on p. 142. I suggest spending an hour or so brainstorming and planning your answer, maybe even revisiting some of the podcasts from 50 Things That Made The Modern Economy that we listened to last year for inspiration. Then a few days later, sit down and write your article, giving yourself a 45 minute time limit. You have plenty of time to do this spaced practice exercise as our next lesson is not until 2nd May.
- now that you have the correct answers, re-listen to the exam exercise on p. 143. Listen out for where the answers are and try to analyse where and why you went wrong (if you did) in your first attempt in class.

Homework
Listen to the podcast again, this time focussing on the language. In particular, make a note of the phrasal verbs that you hear (e.g. write off, hold off, drive off, go through, turn on, take out, carve out) and think about what they mean in this context and which of the 4 phrasal verb types they are.
