Language Test postponed.

Dear all

I have decided to postpone the Language test from August 6th to August 10th. In the case of 5th A, we will take part of the periods devoted to Literature to do the Language Test.
The Literature test, however, will still be on August 13th, as we agreed on. This postponement will give us time to get back on track after the winter break, go over things and clear up doubts, if any.
The contents for the Language test are:

1) Two articles: "Big Trouble" (page 13) and "The Dreadlock Deadlock" (page 26).
2) The vocabulary we discussed on these two articles.
3) Phrasal Verbs with COME and FALL (pages 38 and 71)
4) Inversion Construction (types 1, 2 and 3): check pages 32-33 in your booklet, plus an extra photocopy I gave you for revsion.
5) Expressing probability and possibility: check page 29 plus an extra photocopy I gave you. Please, make sure you have this copy as there are some more patterns for expressing probability which are NOT in the bookelet. In case you were not present the day we did this exercise or you have lost the copy, I am including the exercise at the bottom of this entry.
6) Vocabulary on Leisure Activities (pages 91 and 92)
7) Idioms with TIME: page 23
8) Vocabulary on Light and Darkness: page 3

I hope this email finds you well and healthy.
I will see you in August.
Regards

Daniel Ferreyra
