Preparations for the National Test (Writing)

Today we are going to prepare for the National Test.

We will be using the book:
"Improve your writing"

1. Checklist
I will print out the checklist for you and go through it at the beginning of the lesson.

2. Then working in pairs I want you to go through three of the sections at the end of the book.


  • Spelling 1- Say the word in English- Your partner translates into Swedish and spells the word correctly- 1 point for correct translation and 2 points for correct spelling. Add up total after 10-15 minutes
  • Spelling 2- Take one section each (single words/ mix-ups). Do as in Spelling 1
  • Important verbs- discuss the use of the words BRIEFLY
Finally, write  outlines for  TWO of the topics at the beginning of the book. Which key words would you use?

The topics are:
  1. People
  2. Places
  3. Trash
  4. Pets
  5. Cheating
Tomorrow we will be in room 1126 at 8 a.m.
Make sure you come on time with appropriate materials (no computers/smartphones..but a pencil/pen etc.).
The afternoon lesson tomorrow will be replaced by the Test.. Good luck! 
Next week
Monday's lesson  will be cancelled but Tuesday's lesson will be at 12.30 together with the up-and-coming students for SA program. Try not to scare them off!!!!
