We didn't get to some of the exercises in the book, so you can use them for practice:
LISTENING: For exercise A6 on page 73, you can use the CD (Sandrock will leave an extra copy in the classroom on Thursday, January 8). If you don't have the CD, you can still practice matching the beginning of the sentence with the end of the sentence. HINT: the sentences should make grammatical and logical sense!
READING: Read the text Food Miles on page 74. Then do Exercises B1, B2, B3 on page 75. For Exercise 2, if the answer is True or False, indicate the sentence where you got the answer by writing the first four words...
Example: 1 Extra food miles are a problem because they harm the environment. TRUE. This travel adds substantially...
LISTENING: For exercise B5 listen to the CD Sandrock leaves in the classroom on January 8) and answer the questions about food miles. Match the country to the product, then indicate where the product came from.
READING: How a refrigerator works. Read the text on page 27, then answer the questions in exercises C1 and C2.
Q: How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
A: Practice, man, practice! - George Carlin
For Tuesday, December 9, do some PRACTICE for the Schularbeit. All exercises are from your Focus on Modern Business 4/5 textbook).
- Chapter 2 - pp. 23-24 (Reading: complete the sentence with a maximum of 4 words)
- Chapter 2 - pp. 25-26 (Reading: True/False justification)
- Chapter 3 - pp. 36-37 (Reading: match the correct heading to the paragraph)
- Chapter 3 - pp. 37-38 (Listening: True/False)
The first three exercises are Matura tasks.
In class, we will do one last listening exercise. Then we can go over any of the practice answers you are unsure about.
I checked the key for the reading we did in class Tuesday. For the questions 7 and 8:
7 - A is the correct answer. Justification: 'they're less good at anticipating problems' B is incorrect, because the writer does not link speed and confidence.
8 - A is the correct answer. Justification 'it's also a big thing on my CV'. B is incorrect, because as y'all pointed out, we only know how the writer feels, not what her superiors think.
I will review the papers you handed in on Tuesday before I submit midterm grades. Thanks for handing everything in on time!
