Homework Intermedio 1, 22nd February

Today we worked with vocabulary and we talked about icons. Download the PowerPoint presentation to practise at home. Use a monolingual dictionary if you have one; on the Internet, a good option is http://www.macmillandictionary.com.
Your homework for next week is to write a review about a film or a book. Set a time limit of 30 minutes to do it, don't use dictionaries or reference books while writing. Use them at the end of the task to check spelling, grammar, etc. You can hand it in in class or e-mail it to me.
