B1 - File 8 (second part)

Dear Students,
we are going to do File 8, second part

On page 129 you'll find the WRITING section, A covering email. A covering email is the email you include with your CV to send to a company or organisation in respond to a job advertisement. We need to use a more formal format and style when we write a covering letter or email.

You have to go to page 193 and read the job advertisement. Then do exercise b. You'll find the answers in the file below. Read the box in exercise c carefully. It's about register and style.

Now go back to page 132. This is File 8B. We are going to learn about Reported Speech and Wordbuilding.
Reported Speech allows us to  report what other people said originally and we need to move the tenses and forms "backwards" in the same way as we would do in Spanish. For example: "Do you need any help?", he said. He asked if I needed any help. (Present S. -to- Past S.)

Go to page 219 and read the grammar explanations carefully. When you are ready, do the exercises a and b on the same page. You'll find the key on the File below.

If you can, try to find someone to speak to for exercise 3 b on page 133, Speaking.

Remember you have extra work on the Workbook grey pages (p 141) and your Online Practice. Also I recommend you look at File 8 of your Pocket Books for Speakers of Spanish.

In the File below you'll also find a couple of Tests for File 8, together with the key and MP3 files. Try to download them and do them little by little, when we finish File 8B.
