Hello everyone

First of all make sure that your blog is functioning properly and you have followed all your classmates (see last weeks post for the url addresses). I haven't been able to view some of your blogs.

Then go to:

http://www.oup.com/elt/global/products/headway/upp_intermediate/

and complete the grammar and vocabulary exercises for unit 01. Click on grammar and select unit 01 and then once you've finished do the same for vocabulary.

___________________________________________________________________

After that are some exercises to practice prepositions. Click on this page:

http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/prepositions

read through the rules and then do the exercises right at the bottom, starting with George Washington. These four exercises with 4 yellow circles are all Upper Intermediate level. If you feel you need some more practice do the Intermediate (3yellow circles) activities too.

___________________________________________________________________

Next are some listening exercises on this website:

You don't have a printed copy of the worksheet, so don't worry about completing your scores on the main page. Simply click on the activities 1 - 7, then click on the web link and complete the listenings.

___________________________________________________________________

Finally there is an FCE style reading text to do. Read the text and choose from the four words given below.
