Remember that at the end of the book you have the tapescripts so it'd be a good idea that you read it after having listened to it and read them aloud to practice. Don't forget that you have to do the writing on page 106 (write a postcard). This composition you had to give to me 2 weeks ago but due to the bad weather (the school was closed) and the Carnival holidays you had to do it today. Some of you did so THANK YOU. I will pick the rest next Wednesday. So don't forget to do it!!!!!!

Next day we're going to start with the PRESENT PERFECT so please study the list of the irregular list. You already know the present and past form and now you have to satydy the last column which is the past participle.

See you on Wednesday!!!!!!
