2nd BATX.
Good morning, my dearest students,
Welcome to the new course that starts.
I'm sure this year you will have to make a big effort to achieve the goals because you should be prepared for your Selectividad test. However, you should be optimistic and struggle as much as you can.
Recommendations:
If you want to pass your exams, I will give you some recommendations for you to follow:
Reading Comprehension:
Read in English as much as possible. I do not care what kind of reading: magazines, novels, newspapers, online news and the like.
Listening and vocabulary:
Listen to the radio, tv, native speakers, your teacher ( of course,'I'm sure you will').
Do not go to bed before you have learnt at least ten words a day. You have been lucky because you are the new technology generation, so use your mobile phones to find out the meaning of the words, use the translator ('Collins' is a good one) whenever it is necessary.
Grammar practice:
Do your exercises in class and work at home as well (always!!)
Study examples with the rules. A good example will be useful for you to remember expressions and vocabulary.
Writing:
There is no other alternative:' the more you read the better you write'.
Study the use of connectors, new vocabulary to be accurate and do not forget the grammar rules.
Do not hesitate in revising structures, verbal tenses, Word formation and so on because it is now when you can do it, not during the exam.

Well, I hope you can make it but I need you to study hard.

As I promised, I will upload some information for you.

GOOD LUCK!!
