Hello guys,
Here you have the LESSON PLAN for the present week.
– Open World page 164 . The exercises on this page deal with general tips about how to write a report. This writing format is not included in B2.2 syllabus, but becoming familiar with the topics common in this kind of texts can help you to gain fluency and accuracy in the Mediation paper of Certificación. Very frequently, texts in this part of the exam recommend things to/not to do or give information about traditions, festivals, events, landmarks, cities, typical food, etc.
Page 164 in particular explains how to give feedback on a festival. I recommend going through the guided writing exercises with the help of the key on p.330 and the suggested answers given in it, always paying attention to the vocabulary.
In the Writing Bank appendix, p.242 there is another interesting sample of a report, on this occasion about a place to visit, the city of York. Read it if you have time focusing on the vocabulary, and notice that it matches the style of the Real World videoscripts.
– Open World. Reading and Use of English p. 165. See vocabulary exercises 2 and 3, challenging but worth doing. Do also ex.5, a text which describes Snowbombing, a festival. Note that this text is not a report, and therefore it does not begin stating the aim of the report, include personal opinions, separate ideas under different headings or use bullet points, characteristic elements of a report.
