Lettorato II, classe 2A with Chris Young, homework for the holidays

There is one lesson next week on Tuesday 17th December. I think the second semester starts on Monday 24th February 2020 (so the first lesson for us is Tuesday 25th), so you have lots of time to revise. You should come to all the lessons in the second semester, particularly if you didn't pass or found the first esonero difficult. The lessons are open to everyone. If you didn't follow in the first semester, you can and should still follow in the second!
So you need to revise the grammar and vocabulary for Units 1-5. You should get at least to page 180 in the set book you are reading in English and do most of Revision and Extension and Michael Vince's New First Certificate Language Practice. Do all the readings in Towards B2 Level or on my CLA page if you haven't done them, correct them from another student or bring them to my ricevimento in January and February (from Tuesday 9thJanuary).
There are lots for reading texts with answers here:
Use a good dictionary.
Do some writing (using a good dictionary to check, make a note of and learn important words and phrases) and bring it to me during my ricevimento in January and February. You can use the titles and examples in the Writing section of English File or invent your own. I'll mark what you bring me. Do some translation on the EU site (check it by changing language from Italian to English) and note-taking on the UN site.
