Final EXAM on Friday

Dear students,
It has been a long time without any communication. I hope you are all fine and with a lot of practice in English.
The exam has an oral and a written part and the exercises are similar to the activities we practiced in class and in our blog.
The written exam has 3 parts: reading, listening, and writing. Review the lessons we studied in class and the ones in the program. (See the program in Plataforma)
The oral part is an interactive conversation about different topics. For example, city life, the environment, public transport, university activities, national television, etc.
You can also practice listening to the websites suggested in Plataforma and also with films and music.
See you on Friday at 8:30.
Best,
Clara Nora

Estimados Profesores: Junto con saludarlos, por encargo de la Dirección de la Escuela de Pregrado, solicito puedan reanudar contacto con los cursos del nivel de Inglés correspondiente, con el objeto de organizar cierre de Primer semestre 2011.

Les pido ofrecer, de acuerdo a lo conversado con la dirección de inglés, algunas clases de repaso para los exámenes orales y escritos, logrando dichos cierre semestral.
