Hi everyone,
We’ve made it to the final week of the course, and I couldn’t be prouder of all the effort you’ve put in so far. Here’s what to expect as we wrap things up:
-
Written Test: In our first session, we’ll complete the written evaluation, which covers reading comprehension, listening comprehension, and grammar (Use of English). You’ve been building these skills steadily, and I’m confident you’re prepared to do well.
-
Oral Interview: In the second session, we’ll conduct interviews in pairs. This will follow the exact format we practiced in class: starting with personal information and transitioning into a discussion on a given topic. You’ve shown great progress, and this is your opportunity to demonstrate it!
Remember, you’ve got the knowledge and skills to excel. Trust in your preparation, stay focused, and give it your best shot!
Good luck to everyone—you’ve got this!
Best,
Camila
