Reminder: Tomorrow's Lesson with Engineers

You have a Vocab Challenge on Units 17 - 22 so please revise these sections of vocabulary in preparation. (See purple book 'Academic Vocabulary in Use')

You also should prepare a Task 2 Writing Practice on the theme of 'Reporting Ideas' - see pages 44 - 45.  Some of you do really need the practice so check this carefully and make sure you submit something!

Also - those of you who have been kindly lent and trusted with a school copy of IELTS 6, make sure you are making progress with the areas in which you need practice.  Any pieces of writing are welcomed and you will receive feedback and an estimated level on them in due course.

Good luck! 
Sarah
