Mock Test 2 - 15 May

Hi guys,

As I told you in class today, we'll start the second Mock next Monday 15 May. I know it's a school holiday, but we need to move on with the test in order to have the results ready before "chiusura di iscrizione" of First exam which is on 25 or 26 May.

As a homework, work on Vocabulary and Listening p. 30 (Unit 14) and Grammar ex. 6 p. 31 and from the SB Vocabulary ex. 5 and Grammar Extra p. 93.

In order to do some exam writing practice, use the website https://writeandimprove.com as it instantly gives feedback on your writing and level.

Bye for now,
Silvia
