English 09C : Thursday 11.10-12.10

 Reading test strategies:
1. Are there pictures? If yes, what do you see in them?
2. Read the headlines. What is the subject? What is the text about?
3. Read the questions. VERY IMPORTANT! Check the question words, so you answer the right questions.
4. Piece together the words you know. Translate into Swedish and try to fill the gaps.
Example: I (went) to the park (yesterday). - Jag ? till parken ?dag.
5. Don't give up without trying or too easily.
6. Answer the easy questions first to save time.

Listening test strategies:
Use the same strategies as for reading, with two additions:
1. Be completely quiet throughout the entire test (which is a good thing while reading as well of course).
2. Take notes while listening. Make them short, so you hear what comes next in the recording.

Oral presentation about English speaking country

Prepare an oral presentations about an English speaking country

            1. Open a new PowerPoint presentation. Share it with your teacher.

            2. Choose information in English from the internet. For countries, my advice is that you to do a search on the English name of the country. "Scotland" for example. Click on the English wikipedia page about the country. Then choose information from the long square to the right. You can also copy and use images from that square in your PowerPoint presentation.

            3. Write down key words in your PowerPoint slides about:

-          other information that you find important or interesting (sports, music, movies, history etc.)

3. Compare your country to Sweden (what is different/similar?)

4. Choose pictures to go with the information in your PowerPoint presentation.

5. Practice and let me know when you feel ready for your presentation (speak for 3-4 min. each)

For example: Well, that's it for me. Thank you for listening and I hope that you have learned something new.  

Keep in mind: 

Make a mindmap or jot down keywords of what you are going to include in your presentation. I do not, I repeat, do NOT want you to read from a script. 

There are two options for presenting:

• Make a presentation in class on Thursday, December 15th. If you want to use Powerpoint or some other tool, that is totally fine. 

or...

• Make a presentation in small groups of 3-4 students.

Let me know which alternative you choose,  

Good luck!
