FRIDAY FEBRUARY 2 2017

Today we did a true or false exercise about a holiday in Thailand.

To do this kind of exercise it is a good idea to first underline the key words in the text and think of synonyms and antonyms, that is words that express a similar or an opposite meaning. Then you can look for these words in the text.

Thinking about synonyms, or paraphrasing is a good way to explain the meaning of an unknown word but is  also very important in the Cambridge exams and a good way to expand your vocabulary.

We applied the same technique for listening.

Ask me for the audio files and transcripts for the book.
