Writing and Speaking Exam Preparation – for 4th December

This is what your written exam will look like, the questions in the speaking exam will be very similar!  Make sure that you prepare and memorise answers of at least 3 sentences for each question, you should give a statement, and opinion and a reason for your opinion.  Try to vary your vocabulary and use the future tense as well as the present tense.

 

The tick grid below is to remind you of the structures you should try to include, the ones that are shaded in you don’t need to use as we have not yet covered those in class – good luck!!
