Hi everyone,For your parcial exam, you will be evaluated on your knowledge of the following topics:

1) SpeechesIn section 1, you will read an extract of a speech and you will be asked to identify examples of the rhetorical devices we looked at in class: topic sentences use of second person (you) rhetorical questions magic groups of three (Our lives are miserable, laborious and short) parallelism (Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country J.F.K.) emotive language examples and evidence repetition exaggeration Personal anecdotes

2) News reports

In section 2, you will read a news report and then complete text-handling exercises like the ones we have already practised in class:

True/false with justification Vocabulary matching

To revise the exam skills and techniques necessary to complete these exercises, look at the power point posted previously on the blog.

3) The passive voice

In this section, you will be expected (see what I did there?) to form sentences using the passive voice in the past, present and future tenses. Again, look at the power point on the blog to revise this.s

Good luck!
