11th form regular

image The following excerpt may provide you some information on the type of text you’ll face in your next test:

“There are growing forces making this way of life almost impossible to attain or maintain, even for the wealthy. If you are among the lucky few who still have the kind of life outlined above, these same forces threaten you.   Whether you live in an isolated small town or a big city and prefer your anonymity as well as the multiplicity of things available to you, these same forces will erode your security and ability to make choices for yourself. These forces are manifested as consumerism.”

The comprehension part will have only three groups: the first one is a True/False exercise; the second is a completion exercise (you are asked to complete sentences according to the text, using your own words as far as possible); the third consists of two questions, one of them being of personal nature.

The production part will consist of 4 topics. The students should choose only one. Apart from those items that have already been largely suggested, I’ve joined another one, which is a comment on a teenager’s sentence focusing the problematic of the importance of one’s image to face life.  That’s all folks!

Good luck!
