Beginnings for writing and other homework

I've added a new wiki page for you (or me) to add your first sentences.

Have a look to see what came up, think about and add which type of task you think it is, and feel free to make comments about them or give (better?) alternatives. I'll make sure it's correct and join in the discussion of how good the sentence is.

If you couldn't be at class yesterday, feel free to join in the fun. Simply take any task and write the first sentence. Put it on the wiki or send it to me. Then head on over to the wiki for a look. Remember, it's very simple. Just click on the 'edit' button and add whatever you want. Then click on 'save'.

Of course, you then can choose any task and write by hand the rest.

Practice the test and complete unit 11 in the book.

Is anybody there? (missing homework)

Has anyone noticed that I completely forgot to write the homework for week 26?
Did anyone besides me read Norberta's latest contribution?
Is there anyone out there?

I hope you're not all tiring now that the weather is finally turning a bit (expression chosen carefully!) friendlier.

So, here are a few things you can do:

Go to the wiki and find the letter of complaint.
There you can improve on it or simply leave a comment about what changes that would need to be made and why. On second thought, this is a rather good idea! You get to be the experts. What all is wrong with it?

In the WB at the back there are several pages on word transformation.
Find negative words beginning with dis- and im-.
How many are there? Which ones didn't you know before?

Work on unit 12, including the writing task.

Finally, does anyone have any advice to give to the others? (it doesn't necessarily have to be related to the exam) Any wishes? Any bets on who our dear Norberta wanted to be Mr. Switzerland???

Hello again!

Hi everyone
As you can read, I survived the week-long course! It was a good one, as Judith (your new teacher ;-) ) can confirm.
I'm also very sorry about being late with the text on the wiki. I was busy being a mother for an hour or two before running off again last night (ask on Tuesday), but it's on there now.

I also noticed that not much is going on here in general. So, maybe you could tell us all about a book you've recently read or a film you've seen.

I'd also like to ask you to go to flo-joe regularly to practice. They have good exam practice and models of corrected texts. I'll show you the possibilities next time if you want.
