And now look at what some students said about
preparing the First Certificate Exam !! |
 |
'I enjoy finding words with the same root - 'beauty', 'beautiful', 'beautifully',
'beautify'. It's like getting four words for the price of one! So, I think the
word formation task is fun'. |
|
|
|
|
'Reading comprehension questions are fun, especially the kind where you have to
fit in missing parts of the text. It's like a jigsaw puzzle with words'. |
 |
|
|
|
 |
'The set book I'm reading is really exciting. But I don't know whether I'll
write about it in the exam. I'll probably decide when I see the question paper'. |
|
|
|
|
'I feel really nervous when I think about the listening test. If I miss the
answer to the first question, my brain stops working and I don't understand
anything. What can I do?' |
 |
|
|
|
 |
'I'm looking forward to Parts 3 and 4 of Paper 5 in the exam. I enjoy solving
problems and it really makes you communicate with your partner, and share your
ideas'. |
|
|
|
|
'I used to find the error correction exercise very difficult. I couldn't find
the mistakes - I took out words which were correct and left in words which
were wrong!! Good timing was a problem to me. But now I've had some practice at it I know what kind of mistakes
to look for, and I can do the exercise quite well'. |
