Here is a little help from our friends at Flo Joe to practise the first part of the Speaking test, the Interview.

Try this at home and then we'll practise together in class.

Have you tried the practice exercises for the present perfect that I mentioned in an earlier post?
Not yet?
Well, try and find some time to do these exercises, then.

See you in class.

Let's explore!

Once you've done all the exercises in your Student's Book and Workbook, you might like to explore this website:

It contains a number of resources that you might find interesting and useful.

All the best!

More practice with the Present Perfect.

Not tired of practising the Present Perfect yet?

Good!

Why not try out this exercise on the Flo-Joe for some more practice and feedback?

The tasks will help you think about the correct use of the Past Simple and the Present Perfect.

At last! The Present Perfect!

Today we reviewed how to formulate questions in the past, using A S I C and Qu A S I C.

We also looked over the exercises in the Workbook (Unit 6, p. 14-15). We learned that there are no Agatha Christie fans in the class!

We started Unit 8 in our Student Book and learned some interesting facts about our views on traditional weddings.

And we finally got to practise the Present Perfect!

Now we need to re-read the Reading text on p. 55 and answer the questions (exercise 3), so we can consolidate our understanding of the form and use of the Present Perfect.

If you like, you can review the grammary summary on p. 208.

After that, please continue with the exercises on pages 56 and 57.

See you on Thursday!
