Homework 
  • On Thursday 13th , we're going to practice the speaking skill with dialogues. There are two cards A & B, one for you and the other for your partner. Prepare your card on your own to make it similar to the exam. As it happened with the monologues, you need to include modals, present perfect, vocabulary related to language learning (see the post B1 File 4B) and dependent prepositions. Remember there's a model for dialogues in the blog
  • Don't forget to write your post in the forum. The post is called "B1-CAL FILE 4B FORUM". Open it and follow the instructions. The thread will be closed this Friday
