Lesson 28°

Hi kids,

You were so brave today during the Mock Test!

Informazioni per i genitori: nel calendario di esami che potete consultare qui Calendario esami CB, ce ne sono 2 possibile sessioni per KEY - il 22 giugno (KET for Schools) con chiusura di iscrizione 8 giugno, e il 24 giugno (KET) con chiusura di iscrizione 9 giugno. 
  Molto importante: chiedete alla reception quale sessione si aprirà - è improbabile che si apprano tutte e due.
La prossima volta, il 26 maggio, faremo lo Speaking e sapremo i risultati del secondo mock decisivi per raccomandarvi o no di iscrivere i ragazzi al esame.

Next time we'll do the Speaking part so here are some materials you can work on to revise and practice:

• for Part 1 practice and answer these questions on your notebooks. Write full, longer sentences.

For example, a full, longer answer can be:

"What kind of books or magazines do you like reading?" -  I like reading adventure stories because they are exciting and I always want to finish them in two days!

• for Part 2 write questions and asnwer the questions using these examples:

• Watch this example of the Key Speaking exam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycc2G4Ryn3Y

That's all for now,

Silvia
