Final Exam Review

Hello class!

By now you should have a good idea of what to expect on your final exam. We have covered units 4 and 5 since our midterm exam and we have spent a lot of time discussing games and family.





SPEAKING




The best thing you can do for the speaking exam is study the speaking exam game we played on Monday. Many of those questions will help prepare you for the speaking exam. If you can comfortably speak for 2 minutes beginning with each question then you should do fine. Also, check the book, worksheets and your notes for any questions we have discussed over the last few weeks. Remember to not feel trapped by the topic. Let your conversation flow naturally.

LISTENING
If you look in the back of the listening book you will find a website called www.Qonlinepractice.com. If you register and use your access code you can do some listening exercises. Please let me know if you have any questions. We have done lots of listening over the semester, but doing more is always helpful.


WRITING
By now you should know the structure of the paragraph. Be sure to use this structure and use transition words and phrases at the beginning of each sentences. Try not to begin your sentences with "because" or "and." Also, make sure you feel comfortable writing a conclusion sentence without writing the exact same sentence as your topic sentence.



Good luck! Please ask me questions on Thursday if you don't know how to do something.
