10 days left!
There are now 10 days left until the grades are to be set..
This will mean an intensive time for all of us...
I am busy marking your reports.. Most people got them in on time but there are 4-5 people who have not handed in a report and who have not contacted me about it..
Even less people have filled in the document for next Monday's oral presentations. Remember this is the last compulsory part of the course ( see Grade Guidelines and description)
Here is a link to the document to be filled in.
This Friday is the reading part of the Cambridge test at 8 a.m.
There are slots for three people to do it today who have very serious reasons for missing Friday...
Others are advised to do the test on Wednesday afternoon

Short week!
Today I will be trying to round off the Speaking exams.
Unfortunately some people who should have done this last Friday didn't show up, so we will be pushed for time today.
I have now marked most of the Cambridge Advanced writing papers.
I won't have a chance to give the results today but by tomorrow they will all be completed.
Please pass by my office and get your result after that...
Those of you who missed the Writing paper (ES students) will have the opportunity to do it on Wednesday afternoon- week 20 and not attend choir that time.
Today it is only to continue with your assignments and preparation for the next part of the Cambridge test.
This is the listening test and will be done in our next class on Friday week 19.
See you then!
Remember- no lessons on Friday and next Monday ( In- service day for the teachers).

speaking- continued
Welcome back to a new week with new opportunities!
This week we will try to get as many speaking tests done as possible.
Today I hope to complete the speaking exam with at least six students..
This Friday we will try to get 12-14 students through the examination.
Today I want to get two groups of three students.
In the meanwhile............................ Back at the Batcave!!!!
It's only to work on your report and your assignments.
If you've completed everything prepare for the remaining parts of the CAE or do other school work.
Seize the day by the teeth and don't let it slip away like water in the hand..
The same procedures apply to this Friday... ( "Same procedure as last year milady?" )
