LET´S START WITH NUMBERS

Probably you think you know everything about numbers. You learnt them when you were at Pre-school and then studied them in Primary. But why have you got so many mistakes, specially when writing? Here you can review numbers and dates.

TOP TIPS FOR AN EXAM REVISION

1. Make a revision timetable.

2. Find a quiet and comfortable place to revise.

3. Look at the grammar sections of your book or notebook.

4. Study trying to understand the process.

5. Do some exercises related to those grammar points. (You can use those you didn´t do from the workbook of find some in a web page)

6. Look through your vocabulary notebook and underline important words.  Make lists with all the vocabulary included  in the texts you have seen.

7. Study the words and try to learn them  by heart.

8. Check the vocabulary again and mark the words you didn´t learn. (There will be just a few) Repeat the process.

9.Leave some time to relax.

10. Do some physical exercise  (e.g. walking or swimming) -this helps you revise.

EXTRA .Ask your teacher about things you don´t understand (not the last day before the exam)

                             

IMPROVE YOUR WRITING

Writing better sentences in English

• How do I write better sentences?
•  How can I write sentences so that they sound more interesting?
•  Do I have to use complicated structures?

·         These are only some of the questions students often ask their teachers. 

One very important step in English Grammar that students should know,  is the word order in English sentences. Do not write the text in your mother tongue and try to ›translate‹ it is not English. This won't work.  Start in English!

How do I write better sentences?

Make your sentences more interesting. Use adjectives, adverbs, expressions of place and time. Have a look at the following example:

Your task is to write something about you last weekend or you last holidays.

Collect some facts, eg. where you were, what you did, etc. Then form short sentences:

I was at my Grandma.

It was nice.

The weather was OK.

We were at a lake.

We went swimming.

These easy sentences have to be improved by adding more information. Here are some tips:

1. Use appropriate verbs

I visited my Grandma.

We walked to a lake.

2. Use adverbs and adjectives

We slowly walked to a quiet lake.

3. Use expressions of place and time

We walked to a quiet lake on Saturday morning.

But be careful! Do not make the sentences too complicated. This is not a good example:

We slowly walked to an extremely quiet lake on the early Saturday morning.

4. Do not write in a simple way,  use ›better‹ constructions

It was nice. → We were having a great time.

The weather was OK. → The sun was shining, but it was a bit windy.

5. Connect sentences

You might connect the three sentences: The weather was OK. – We were at a lake. – We went swimming. with ›and‹:

The weather was OK and we were at a lake and we went swimming.

The result won't be good. You don't get better sentences. Connect the sentences more logically:

→ It was very warm, so we walked to a quiet lake and went swimming there.
