M2 Class: Nov 20: 1st Main Exam: Program of Revisions

The 1st Main Exam on Nov 20 will last around 75-80 minutes maximum and will cover:
 

A/ Vocabulary:

    1/ The Cost of Cotton (BBC)
    2/ Listening comprehension recordings (Employment, After Graduation, Natural Medecine, History of Dentistry, Archaeology, PC A Practice Test 1)
    3/ False friends:  exercises 1, 2 and 3

C/ Grammar (in translation):

    1/ Unit 26 to 33 included
    2/ Phrasal Verbs: Unit 145, 144 and 143

C/ Listening comprehension: 
 
1/ there will be an unknown recording with questions: you will hear it twice: the first time without the questions, which means you take extensive notes while listening, and a second time with the questions.

2/ you will hear extracts only once from "The Cost of Cotton" (BBC)  and "Wikipedia at Ten" (BBC) and you will have to write a short commentary on these extracts.
REMINDER: We must leave the classroom at 4:55 pm maximum as there is a class after our class. 

Other reminders:
1/ Attendance rules: 
Attendance is compulsory for those students who are in "contrôle continu": if you are absent 3 times (ie 2+1) for unjustified reasons, if you cannot provide me with a valid and sincere justification, you will be automatically registered in "contrôle final".
2/ If students in "contrôle continu" fail to take this 1st main exam, they will be automatically registered in "contrôle final". They will be allowed to take the other exams and attend our class sessions on Tuesday afternoon.
 3/ There will be no catch-up session whatsoever, even if you have a valid and sincere justification. Please, do arrive on time if not in advance!
